Launching the Imagination - Chapter 6:My Thoughts

Chapter 6 of our book was titled Cultivating Creativity and was how to help ourselves be more creative. Honestly, this is an area that I need to work on, so this chapter felt like it was almost written for me. It really got me thinking of exactly what my personality is and how I related to the examples given.

There was this little illustration on positive and negative loops, which brought to mind a negative loop I had been stuck in a few weeks ago for my schoolwork. I had gotten sick which slowed down my progress, causing a snowball effect of falling behind more and more. This lead to me becoming increasingly depressed and feeling like I should just give up. It wasn't until my teacher helped me with goal setting that I got on the positive path of catching up that I'm currently on.

There were many small categories of attributes of creative people, and while individually they may not seem important, when put together they allow one to function at their full potential. I myself would like to improve in many of these categories to help aid me in improving my present and future work. Everything from making the most of my time to thinking outside of the box are just a few of the areas I would like to grow in.
