looking over december

December is nearly over. Just two more days. Now it is time to take stock of what we’ve accomplished in this month.

We devoted this month to three ideas: PLAY, LOVE, LET GO.

TODAY’S CREATIVITY CHALLENGE:

Browse through the archives of December and read over the exercises we’ve done.

Which of the exercises was easiest for you? Why? Which of the exercises was most effective at reaching a new level of awareness or experience? What have you learned about yourself? How have these three ideas enhanced your creative process? Which of the exercises will you keep in your “toolbox” as an artist? Why?

Pick three or four of the exercises that seemed most effective for you and look them over carefully. Are they related to one another in some way? Think about WHY they may have worked for you and how you can use them on a more regular basis. Commit to working them into your creative process.

Which of the exercises was hardest for you? Why? Which triggered the most resistance or dread or numbness or apathy or anger or boredom or avoidance?

Pick one or two of the exercises that seemed the least effective for you and try to tackle them one more time. Give yourself another shot at it and see what happens. Any movement? Results? Changes? Commit to working at least one of these “uncomfortable” exercises in your artist toolbox.
