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)

8 - get lost in a zentangle

Zentangles are a way of creating images from repetitive patterns, a process of doodling that brings about a meditative state. This is the meditative state in drawing that is needed to tap into your best creative energies. It increases creative freedom and creates a shift in focus and perspective. Because you have no idea what its result will be when you begin it's not restricted by your expectations and can be quite profound creative meditation.
To relax and intentionally direct your attention while creating something quite beautiful is an uplifting experience. I find it an excellent starting point for any creative undertaking.

"Any mind activity is much more likely to be beneficial and to be creative if it's preceded by presence and stillness."
Eckhart Tolle (author of The Power of Now)

“In deep meditation the flow of concentration is continuous like the flow of oil.”
Patanjali (150 BCE - compiler of the Yoga Sutras)
