THE QUESTION: Where does clarity come from and how can it enhance my creative life?
Clarity is the ability to be clear – about your preferences, use of time, purpose and goals. It’s linked to curiosity. A side benefit of curiosity is that you begin to know what you don’t like in addition to knowing what you DO like! Knowing yourself better reinforces your desire to employ a creative approach to your world.
THE PROBLEM:
Even if we think we know what clarity is, we don’t always know how to access it and use it to make changes in our lives.
THE ACTION PLAN:
Clarity is related to the word CLEAR and clearing opens up mental and physical space for creating. Jolts of clarity come from literally clearing:
Clearing out space – casting off, re-purposing, re-arranging.
Clearing out negotiable time – the time you have for personal pursuits and interests.
Discovering through curiosity what you care about and then making it a priority.
