When I stop thinking, I create

I’ve had this idea of doing a blog/website for a long time now and it wasn’t until now, that I could perceive the signals. The call outs I was listening in every song, every podcast, every conversation. The clues I was finding in casualties, encounters, and opportunities. 

The cognitive flow

when you’re not creating it, but it’s been revealed to you. When an idea finds you and decides to born through you. 

Zamore couldn’t be contained anymore, for the sake of my mental health. I had to feel confident about my process and I needed to risk something to actually be compromised.

But I couldn’t take myself TOO serious, so, by not taking yourself seriously;

you become uninhibited. egoless. you’re left with your own thoughts. it takes you places that are unusual and everyone needs to feel capable of going to this places. feel satisfaction about yourself for perceiving your own capabilities. to think for yourself. have your own opinions. everyone needs moments of self reflection. 

creativity isn’t just being able to play a song or paint a canvas. it’s also a choice you’re being presented to every day, when you decide to not take the usual path back home and find a new one. A mindset that allows you to choose something new from the menu. deciding that you want to be more than you already are and by doing what?  what can you become if today you decide to go in to a comedy club?  what will you learn about yourself if you decide to learn sign language? what new thoughts can be born when you’re out of your comfort zone?

If you think about it, what we crave a lot of times, is feeling special. Creativity, being able to do something by yourself, that feels effortless and surprises your heart; that micro-dosis of joy is what we need every so often to remind ourselves we are special. we deserve this life. we are not wasting our time. 

P.S A lot of this I heard it at the Blindboy podcast: talking to a psychologist about creativity. Cheers.
