We can discover our hidden creativity instead of focusing on negativity and how incompetent we feel.
Set aside some time and go over the following to find out your creative sides:
- Success: Think back and find out your talents and abilities. What are you good at? Think about your skills. Consider your previous accomplishments and achievements. What were they?
- Intrinsic qualities: Who are you inside? What are your human qualities? Which qualities do you associate with yourself? Some ideas: driven, efficient, practical, respectful, analytical, ambitious, etc.
- Your esteemed self: Think about another new person with the qualities you defined above. How would you talk with this person? Would you be impressed and have a lot of respect for this person? And think about how different you talk to yourself when you compare your talk with this person.
- Where is your creativity? Take a look at 1 & 2 again and ask yourself: In where did you exercise creativity? How exactly were you creative at those times? What qualities inform and enhance your creativity? Think about a moment when you were in the flow.
