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)

31 - your other hand

Let go of the grip of the conscious critical mind by confusing and tricking it into submission, prevent that part of the brain from relying on the safe tricks that it's developed in an attempt to produce a "good" or "impressive" style.


Comparison with a drawing of the same thing undertaken with your ‘usual’ hand will demonstrate that whilst a ‘wrong hand drawing’ won't, in all likelihood, produce a great physical likeness, it will produce a more emotive image.


Charm, humour and interestingness, this exercise will almost surely illustrate, doesn't come out of the sureness of style or habit that your usual hand gives but more than likely from this looser, more liberated, less dominant hand.
