What I have found is that whatever I do to get into creative flow mode can be explained in a very simple routine:

I warm-up my playfulness – it can be to put some music up and dance, make word games with what everyone says or try to get that piece of paper right into the basket from a challenging distance

Open space for creativity – breathe, meditate, go for a walk in the woods, be silent, listen.

Make sure my space for creating is clear and ready for a successful creating session – it really plays with my mood to have clear space will I be writing, drawing or training… creation space is sacred, and easy to keep clean and with positive energy if we just remember that it is a sacred task to declutter it. I ,for example, dedicate 5 minutes a day and it works very well for me.

Make sure I won’t be interrupted – as a mother and host of a house that never stops with people coming in and out (I’m proud and thankful of my busy social life! But there must be sacred balance!) I just am not shy to ask my beautiful soulmate to take over for a while on kids and friends OR make sure everyone is happy and busy in activities OR schedule in my creation time in times that I know I’ll have peace and quiet (funny side note: while I was writing this post, I had my 3 year old daughter and her friend emptying the whole closet. So also, to be flexible if your scheduling strategies don’t work PERFECT and just work around it – also good piece of advice)

Spread the love, M
