Unblocking Creativity during Thanksgiving
If you are frustrated, stressed or extremely busy, all these can hinder your creativity for a few days or for a few months. Especially around the holiday season, it can be very challenging. The goal is to prevent any type of creative hinderance so you can keep moving forward in your pursuits.
Here are 5 tips on how to stay creative during the holidays:
1) Comparison – If we’re too busy looking at what the next person has, we can forget to be thankful for what we have. There’s always going to be someone who has more and someone who has less than us. But what makes your life special and unique to you and only you? Be thankful for those things…
2) Attitude of Entitlement – Lots of times we can believe that we deserve this or that and as Americans it easy for us to slip into being ungrateful for what we have. The reality is…there are billions of people in the world that don’t have clean running water, safe grocery stores or a government that doesn’t steal from them. If you’ve ever done some traveling to 3rd world countries you’d be truly grateful to be an American. Lets allow this season to permeate every area of our lives…and truly give thanks for the bare necessities that we all can take for granted.
3) Think about What You’re Thinking About – Anyone who’s worried all day long knows how to meditate. So what have you been meditating on lately? Are you keeping your mind on positive things as soon as you get out of bed…and throughout the day? Or are you sabatoging yourself with your own negative thoughts? Think about what you’re thinking about…and maybe just for this week…turn your negative thought around to thanksgiving and see how much better you feel.
4) Relationships – In my opinion, good relationships are the true meaning of life. Relationships make or break the holiday season. Focus on bringing new life and love into your relationships this Thanksgiving. Surprise that special someone with flowers or jewelry…bring your mom a sweet potato pie. We can’t go through life with catcher’s mitts on both hands. You’ve gotta be able to throw something back once in a while.
5) Watch Your Mouth: – The Hebrew word for Thanksgiving is Yadah…as in, yada, yada, yada. So what do you hear yourself speaking about? Do you gripe and complain to anyone who will listen or are you talking to people about what you are thankful for? Maybe over turkey dinner this year you can go around the table and ask everyone to list 5 things they are thankful for. And let’s go even further… Ask, to whom do you give that thanks to? Things to think about this holiday season. Enjoy it, and be blessed.
