What inspires your creativity ?

What inspires your creativity ? This can be artistic, musical, writing, anything.

How do you motivate yourself to be creative, when you are not in the mood ?

this is a good question.


music and books and you know life in general usually does the trick but when all this don't work.
i need quiet, i need my space to be quiet from the outside world, from people and phone calls and life... and then i do what one of the teachers long ago told me..play and force yourself.
just take the materials, don't think of an out come.. play with it, force yourself to do something with it,, ugly, bad, stupid, it will all go to the garbage at the end, but along the way something will happen, something that will give birth to something else, meaningful something you will relate to and that will be the first step towards whatever.

it allways work for me. it can take time, and it is important to give yourself the time and not push yourself and criticize yourself, so it is enjoy playing and doing while forcing yourself to do as you are not in a mood for doing.

mind you, sometimes it is important to take some time off and no do anything.
sometimes it is good also to do something different from what you usually do. work with a different media?

i read to become more creative the more input i have the more creative i can be criticism is always constructive and other peoples ideas are always welcomed

A lot of things get my inspiration flowing, music, other peoples art, a dream, nature, a situation, a prespective...
well anything can be an excuse to start in some direction really...
I just love to express and explore...
Love and light

I am inspired to be creative when I have time and space in which to play and be free from stress or worries. If i'm stuck I get input from friends or go to the library and pull out random books.

I guess for me - the balance of life needs to be just so. I need to feel content, at ease, and then if I am in this place, I get a glimpse of something out the corner of my eye, a sound in my ear or a feeling in my heart/soul that flicks a switch and the creativity starts to move.

Am I a feeling that at the moment - not especially - I'm a little out of balance I reckon

What inspires my creativity is all my life experiences. Exchanges with others, be it human, animal, spirit, etc.

How to motivate? I think I sleep more, feel the need to recharge; eating or drinking something interesting, sounds weird, but an experience of taking in something colorful or extra tasty or hot & rich, like coffee or cocoa...

life, nature, literature, family, complex thoughts
