What’s in it for me? Learn how to harness your innate creativity and take it to the next level.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could pluck inspiration out of thin air? Unfortunately, creativity has a mind of its own, and it’s something we can’t actively control.

Yet knowing how to make the most of inspiration when it strikes is the key for any successful creative person. Your best work often comes when you let go and express yourself freely; yet to do so, you have to learn to tune out the criticisms of others and tune in to your own muse.

These blinks give you the tools to not only unleash your creative spirit but also take your inspiration a step further, to quitting that day job and truly living a successful artistic life.

In the following blinks, you’ll discover

how creativity is a natural process that you need to learn to harness;
why you should never lose sight of your own creative vision; and
how to effectively share what you’ve created with the world.

You can’t force inspiration. It comes on like the hiccups: unexpectedly, no matter where you are.

So you’ve had a busy week without a moment to spare for your art project. Finally, the weekend arrives and you’re ready to let the creative juices flow!

You enter your studio and your mind goes blank; inspiration fail!

So why does this always happen?

It’s impossible to flip a switch to get inspired. Creativity is a natural process; we’re not in control of it. Inspiration is like getting the hiccups, coming often out of the blue. And just like the hiccups, you’ll find that inspiration can disappear when you focus on it too much.

Creative bursts often come when you least expect them. You might suddenly feel inspired in the supermarket checkout line, or when you’re just about to drift off to sleep. It’s easy to make the most of impromptu inspiration, simply by jotting down the thoughts in your head; these could in the long run end up changing your creative process altogether.

When the author used to paint and draw, he found it hard to seize spontaneous creative moments when he wasn’t in his studio with his art supplies. So he started drawing small cartoons on the backs of business cards, which meant he could work wherever he wanted. His ideas started springing to mind when he was on the go, and have only grown in originality and popularity since.

Yet it’s important to realize that when you set out to try something new or creative, it’s normal to have fears and doubts. You never know when you’re going to feel inspired or whether your idea is even good in the first place.

Trust your creative instinct – this is your creative project. Let things flow naturally and remember not to block yourself from creativity!

Starting a creative project can be scary, but don’t let distraction keep you from taking the first step.

It’s common to run away from creativity. Diving into a creative project isn’t always a party; as an artist, you’re venturing into the unknown, and this can be scary.

It’s of course natural to question whether your new project will be any good. Are your painting skills up to task? Will you chose this color, or that one? Will your movie be on film, or digital? There are plenty of details over which to obsess when starting out.

When it comes to your own creativity, friends won’t always give you the feedback you want.

If you pen a poem or paint a landscape, you may receive some praise for your work. Yet if you are able to come up with something truly original, it’s possible your friends may be at a loss for words.

Know that the more original your idea, the less advice on it anyone can actually give you.

Don’t compromise your artistic vision. Your creativity is your own and should flow directly from you.

Picture yourself as a pupil in grade school art class. You’re painting a cat turquoise, your favourite color. But the teacher wants the cat to be black, and won’t give you a passing grade otherwise.

Would you change the color of your cat?

Art can pay the bills, but it doesn’t always. Make sure you have support before you set out.

We’ve all dreamed of turning our artistic passions from a hobby into a real career. What graphic designer wouldn’t love to quit his day job designing cereal boxes to paint full-time in a studio of his own?

Yet as an artist, is such a future really all it’s cracked up to be?

The internet is your agent. Post your stories, comics or videos online and find your audience.

It’s the Hollywood cliché: a famous director walks into a café, sees an aspiring actor and offers him the lead in his next film.

Unfortunately, “making it big” isn’t ever quite this simple.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
