Creativity. This name we have heard so many times, this word so used by all, whether they are experts in the field or not, but do we know for sure what this tool entails in our day to day?
We still see it as a legacy of childhood and, hopefully, adolescence, however, we would make a very big mistake in banishing from our lives a skill that feeds us with different ideas, individual performances and gives us the potential to be relevant beings.
- Creativity is often underestimated.
- Or it is “madness.
- ” or the great geniuses whose vital standard was creativity itself.
- Luckily.
- Little by little we managed to popularize this skill that.
- In fact.
- Is found in everyone: more drowsy.
- And in others a little more awake.
People who have awakened creativity use a very rich inner mental world, in which imagination commands and governs problem solving or the design of interesting questions, these people are able to immediately accumulate many alternatives and different possibilities and paths to the same ‘problem’.
The word creativity comes from the verb “create”, and creating is nothing less than the act of inventing or generating something new. It does not belong only to painters, designers, architects and musicians, as you often think. A creative person is one who manages to create original solutions to the problems that arise in everyday life. He’s also creative at asking questions about things no one has noticed.
Many of these people were able to develop their creativity in childhood, because she was sued and strengthened by the people who participated in her education, let’s take an example, that of a child drawing a sheep with wings: we know that sheep have no wings and, in fact, to say it sounds like a joke.
That’s all, sheep don’t have wings. Everyone agrees, but what’s wrong with a child drawing it that way, why do we have to censor your private artwork?
Especially in childhood, the important thing is the process, not the result, don’t rush to describe your child’s expressions or artistic ideas in words like?Good or bad ?. In doing so, we punish her spontaneity and therefore push her to abandon her. If I give my child the freedom to put his imagination in the drawings, he can generate other possible alternatives to existing ones.
It will develop the ability to spontaneously imagine and express yourself. The moment we suddenly interfere or cut this beam of creativity (?Son, you know sheep don’t have wings, the drawing is wrong; will no longer express himself authentic.
But if I strengthen this invention, this fun idea, I can help you continue to express what your effervescent imagination aspires to offer the world. “It must be a very free sheep: do you want to fly!?” How beautiful, then you can help him fly. Where do you want to go?
All these are expressions that validate and value the expression of the child, using them is a good way to bring to the surface this tangle of imagination that seems infinite to our adult eyes.
Many creative adults have been given permission from children to be free of expression, this reinforcement of the authentic; on the other hand, the childhood of people who are not creative today was probably marked by censorship of such dissident manifestations with what was expected or with what is common.
Let’s put ourselves in the shoes of these people: if in our childhood they did not appreciate something that will be useful in my adult life, will I learn that it is?And that freely expressing these kinds of ideas can lead people to judge me. like a complete lunatic.
We certainly live in a world where self-control is rewarded and spontaneity is censored in one way or another, creativity needs this spontaneity to survive, needs contact with reality and even needs to be a source of mistakes. will prevent him from getting caught like a useless old fret in us.
Basically, what often exists is the fear of trying, not trying, the consequences of a real expression A fear that becomes something giant in certain jobs or situations of life?
To be creative is to have a very rich inner world full of possible alternatives at every stage of my life Having a backpack full of resources, colors of different shades, multiple textures?
We are not born structured and airtight, we are born free and with immense power to develop what is ours and that is born with us.
Don’t be afraid to develop and channel something so beautiful: you’ll find yourself doing things you never thought you could do.
