This blog is the product of my Ideation class in school. We have been learning how to just let go of our predisposed judgments of ourselves and just "create". It is this childlike mentality that has really helped me the most. As a kid we just did whatever we wanted without an awkward feeling attached to it. If we wanted to play…we played, if we wanted to dance…we danced, if we wanted to draw…we drew, etc. While watching different videos or reading different texts it has become very obvious to me how much we in a sense "grade" ourselves on everything we do. We are so self analytical! This is the wall that I have been climbing over. This is the obstacle that I am still overcoming. The good news is that I have already felt tremendous progress in this area. The first time that I told myself "there is no wrong answer" and surprised myself with what I came up with, was very liberating. I feel this is the central connection to all other creativity. It is the freedom to let go and see where you land. In this you can truly find your voice and connect yourself to what inspires you.
