How Does a ‘Creative’ Mind Work?

Reading:

I find a visualizer has to be an avid reader, or every avid reader is a visualizer, whether he/she wishes to be or not. Any literature only makes place in you mind, when it is creating images imp your mind. Every mind is capable of creating images known or unknown. The more you read – the more your mind exercises of creating images. Reading also helps in understanding the fine unexplained nuances of an assignment from a difficult client sometimes, because it makes our mind efficient to read between the lines. In my opinion, likes and dislikes or genre based reading habits harms the system of reading and obviously keeps the reader limited. Not always reading should be a path to entertainment.It should be a rule for a visualizer to read a specific literature in a given time.

Roaming alone and Talking to your self:

Who doesn’t like to travel and explore different places? Of course there are people who like to be shut in their houses on weekends (like me). But leaving the ‘lazy’ part, I really like to wander aimlessly rather than ‘traveling’. When you have no agenda or appointments, it’s fun to stroll and take out some time to talk to yourself. The feeling that no phone calls, no meetings, no bill date memos and no one bothering you makes you so relaxed that you suddenly meet your best friend of life and that is you of course. This is kind of de-toxication. Or you may call it short and cheap ‘Vipashyana’.

Watching Movies:

Unfortunately most of the movie goers, especially in India, treat it like some use and throw entertainment tablet. And so the movie makers also give them what they like. But still movies and T.V. is a great medium where you meet the ideas in a visual format rather a complete form which includes sound. Similarly like reading stories, a particular scene may evoke your creativity quotient and make you think how would have been your take on it. To me, movies are a wonderful medium to do the magic show, where you mesmerize the viewers with your creative skills.

Writing:

Not everybody is good with words, but a lot of people really are better at writing rather than speaking, for examples writing emails or letters. While writing we are so comfortable and not at all worried of fumbling, diction, recalling right words in time, etc. We can always keep a check on the text piece we have written. Exactly, that’s why writing makes the real you come out and express fearlessly. The more and more you keep on writing, you get better at it. Slowly you will realize that writing is no less than flying, because it takes you to a different world.

Ultimately, what I have experienced is ‘Creative Minds’ are like gifted fertile soil, which need to be nourished and taken care of, for blossoming ideas,
