It's not that I think I'm particularly good at it, just that I have a constant urge to write what I think. I love your points about not forcing creativity, but being discplined in ensuring you express it. There is a fine line between forcing and consistency. I'm still trying to find the balance. .-= ForNot´s last blog ..<a href="http://forwardnotion.wordpress.com/2010/03/19/intuition-by-proxy/" rel="nofollow">Intuition By Proxy</a> =-.

I would add to this music (for me techno and upbeat music) and socializing (in person or even online) in a wholesome manner with others are two ways that help me keep my creative juices flowing. Keeping a notebook with me to write thoughts as they pop in my head also helps. I express myself creatively through my websites and books I think - and the pride in the work I do. I also love having a chat about anything thought provoking and that helps as well. As for the dreaded rut - I have faced it before and have found a few things that help me when getting in a rut. Getting up and moving certainly helps. I have to turn to my neuro-associations of the pain I will feel if I do not contribute all that I have to the world. I think the fear of being at the end of my life and realizing I didn't do all that I could - or experienced all that I could have experienced frighten me far more than the slight pleasure of simply relaxing and not taking any action :) .-= Jeremy Johnson´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.jeremynoeljohnson.com/2010/03/18/the-insightful-valerie-mondesir/" rel="nofollow">The Insightful Valerie Mondesir</a> =-.

These are great tips on how to open up our creative side. I agree with you. Creative is all around us but we're not always open to receive the things that spark creativity.
