Reclaim Sundays as a day of reflection, insight and just a little laziness.
Learn to slow down, let go, experiment and play a little and just watch your creativity unfold!

Being creative isn’t all about making stuff and being good at it!
It’s way of seeing, feeling, listening, investigating and understanding the world.
Here follows 50 suggestions, exercises and projects to help you for a few hours once a week, unravel that ball of wool in your head you call ‘busy’, 'must' and ‘deadline’ and crochet it into that quirky Sunday jumper you may well love enough to want to wear on a weekday.

This is a personal account, with ideas and suggestions along the way of how to 'let go' of that critical bit of the brain and just see where it takes you. 

“Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.”
Alan Watts (Thinker and Interpreter of Zen Buddhism, 1915-1973)

“We should be mucking about all the time, because mucking about is enjoying life for its own sake, now, and not in preperation for an imaginary future. It's obvious that the mirth filled man, the cheerful soul, the childish adult is the one who has least to fear from life.”
Tom Hodgkinson (Author -The freedom manifesto)

“Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week”
Joseph Addison (English essayist, poet and Statesman 1672 -1719)

22 - get lost in colour





Investigate the effect of color on your behavior and feelings.

Take yourself off for a walk, a slow walk. Pick a colour and focus on it all around you while you do. 
Take your camera along and capture the colour in as many shades from as many sources as you can.

Cool colors can evoke both calm and sadness. Depending on the intensity. 
Peaceful, dependable, cool blue is the most popular color, it can still the mind or feel cold and unfriendly depending on your mood?

Red can feel Passionate and provocative but also aggressive. It can be cozy or mean danger, commanding us to stop in traffic or just stamping it's foot and demanding attention.

Just notice how your chosen colour makes you feel?

“Speed kills colour... the gyroscope, when turning at full speed, shows up gray.”
(Paul Morand novelist, poet and early Modernist)

"Colour is the key. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano with its many chords. The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically."
(French Expressionist Painter, 1866-1944).
