...Creativity Techniques...

[SourceShield]

Hey.

I am a Creativity Technician - A technician can be defined in many ways, but for my job, Technician simply means one that uses and teaches a particular technique or techniques.

As a means for me to give back to the BB community, I would like to offer a few techniques, that I employ and coach others to use.

I will post one at a time, and any questions you may have about that technique...ask away!.

FYI

- I write this because I am a natural-nerd, and 100% okay with that!

I love sharing information.

I was born with an IQ of 160 - which is rather high but it means I need constant intellectual-stimulation.

Just like a natural athlete MUST move and stay active, my HFA brain MUST process and work through things...there are a few drawbacks and many advantages to having this kinda brain.

And, I am now learning to bring balance to the mind&body&emotions, because IQ is only one part of who we are...we are a diamond of grand splendor!.

The first technique is called --- THE A.I.D Technique.

I run a few of my own micro-businesses, and will soon be opening a consultancy company in Melbourne.

This technique has helped me to identify ways to find and secure the type of job and work that I really want to do!

I know that there are a few people in our BB Community that have or have had issues with finding the 'right' job.

This may help...

A.I.D Technique --

A - Amplify your KEY SKILL SET.

What are you good at?

And, don't say "NOTHING".

Give me 5mins, and I will show you what your KEY SKILL SET is, in fact we all have many!

What is MOST EMPLOYABLE about you?

I - Identify TRENDS -

Trends in your employment and education history.

This shows me where your interests and strengths may lie.

And, Trends in the MARKET.

How can we take your skills to get you the right and best job for you?

D - Diversify INCOME STREAM.

These days, we have to be really smart about how we use our time and energy.

By Amplifying and Identifying, we can now create many ways for you to get the income that you want, need and deserve.

If you'd like some advice about anything related to this technique, let me know.

G'day Folks.

Yesterday we looked at a creativity technique that can assist with finding the right and best career path - THE A.I.D method.

Tonight I would like to share a technique that can assist us with all our 'MindFiling'.

Sometimes it's really challenging to get things sorted.

This technique helps us to keep the mind focused on present moment happenings in life.

...The F.A.C.T.S technique...

THE MIND LOVES FACTS

F - Financial Freedom. - refer to The A.I.D technique in the first 'Creativity Technique' post.

Money is just one part of real life, and I refuse to 'just' work and for my life to be 'just about my job'

The A.I.D method has helped me to create greater financial independence and freedom, with less stress.

As mentioned, look up the first Creativity Technique if you'd like help with that!

A - Awareness&Understandings.

Sometimes the over-thinking can seem like a hideous beast that wont go away.

I take TARA BRACHS** lead on this one and use her RAIN method that she teaches -

Recognize the thought-pattern.

Allow life to be just so.

Investigate with kindness.

Nourish with compassion.

C - Creativity&Cognition.

Wherever there are humans, there is Creativity.

Creativity is more than just what artists or geniuses do...we all access creativity everyday.

The way we dress, can be an expression of our creativity.

When you need some assistance with implementing an idea, use the

IR3 Method -

Imagine

Research

Implement

Release

Innovate

Review...and start the process all over again...

You can use this method for any new idea - big or small...give it a go!

T - Time&Space Management

Time is just NOW or THEN.

This is happening NOW, then something else will happen THEN, or something happened THEN in the past.

What happens or what has happened between NOW or THEN, is what we call TIME.

Space is just HERE or THERE.

This is HERE, and that is over THERE.

What is between HERE and THERE is what we call SPACE.

I use the 4PP Method.

I am going to extrapolate on this method on another night because this method deserves more TIME to be explained.

Stay tuned, until THEN.

S- SexualHealth

This my seem weird to have sexual health in our 'MindFiling' but sexual health, and sexualness, start in the mind.

I use the P.A.D method.

But again, I would like to go into more depth another night, with this one.

**Tara Brach is an amazing teacher...look her up!

Thats me for the now!.

If you've got questions, ask away.

Morning!

For this weeks Creativity Technique, we are going to look at relationships - the greatest mystery of them all.

I use The SAFE Technique.

SAFE stands for..

S - Self

A - Acquaintances&Associates

F - Family&Friends

E - Everyone Else inc/ Perceived Enemies, and The Earth

If you look at that, you'll see that pretty much covers all of our 'relationships'.

Relationships are measured by time and space, therefore, when we have something to look at, we are either looking at how things were in the past, present, or will be in the future.

For this apply these 3 teachings to help you navigate through any issues that come up.

For things that have happened in the past and that are still on your mind -

FACE the past.

F - Forgiveness - Forgiveness is a real biggie, but this one takes time to wrap your head around...I only have limited characters to use, when writing these posts, so I am happy to discuss forgiveness more...if anyone has questions.

A- Availability - When we are thinking about the past, be available to whatever pops up. If something is still on your mind about something from the past, means that we still have some processing to do...being available to those feelings is important.

C - Compassion - Compassion is all about love in action. Again, this is a rather deep, and meaningful word. If youd like to discuss compassion...let me know.

E - Encouragement - Lastly when looking at things from the past, do your best to encourage yourself to release the issues, and receive the lessons within.

TAG the present-

I find that this is one of the best ways for me to stay positive throughout my day.

I focus on...

T - Thankfulness...be thankful!

A - Appreciation...appreciate all that you have, do and are!

G - Gratitude...be grateful.

Actively look for times and places in your life to share your TAG and to fill up your TAG bucket!

SHAPE the future

S - Sincerity - If you really want and desire something i.e. greater health and happiness, sincerity will keep you on track!

H - Honesty - Be honest and truthful about your journey.

A - Attentiveness - Pay close attention to your gut-instincts and intuitive-Intelligence...this is just your body's way of steering you in the right and best direction.

P - Patience - Its a virtue!

E - Enthusiasm - Being enthusiastic about what the future holds, without be a fool, keeps the energy and spirit up!

As mentioned, I have limited characters, to use, but I am more than happy to chat in depth!

Thanks.

Hey GI!

You're welcome.

I've kinda moved all I was going to write on this thread onto The OTT one now though.

But, I'm always keen to chat about Creativity, so if you have anything that you want to talk about, the field of scope with creativity is huge.

I simply employ techniques to different parts of my life - Career, Mental Health, SexualHealth etc etc etc...

If you ever need some assistance, or want to have a think-tank session with me about something that's on your mind, about whatever...I'm keen!.

If you ever wanna drop into OTT, you're more than welcome, of course...everyone is!.

And, please feel free to share about your experience with creativity as well.

...and dont tell me that you aint creative either!.

We all are - thats part of my job now, as a Creativity Technician - assisting others to unleash their cognizant creativity.

Thanks again for your encouragement GI, just know that I send it back to you in abundance.

MuchLove

Kaitoa.
