The story you tell yourself (and others) initiates your emotional response, embeds your attitude state, and sets in motion ONLY linked experiences (that confirm it or move it on a step).
Your story is how you describe your current circumstances, you tell it in general dialogue to friends and family, powerfully creating pictures, evidence and emotions that go with it. The more often you tell your story, more elaborately and more vividly the more power you add to its impact on the listener.
The #1 listener to your story is… YOU!
This year we have experienced a major disruption to the way we work. We have fallen into new normal patterns of working behaviour and gradually loss volumes of our old spark. Days have become movement-predictable, as we sit in our home workspace and wait or hope for something new to occur.
I noticed that my creativity was flattening after sitting for hours in my home office, staring at the screen, waiting, hoping for inspiration to show up!
When your pattern becomes edge-less, the creative-spark moments dissolve.
It is at the edges of activity that creativity is sparked and new thinking is triggered – have your edges got lost?
