Have you ever wondered what the skeleton of the creative process is like? What phases make it up? How can we favor it to enhance our creativity? Today I present you a great video of our colleague Sandra Burgos, who by the way, today is her birthday, so we send her a huge hug from here.
I remind you that you can find your 30k Coaching space from their website and from his Youtube, definitely highly recommended. I am sure that there you will find content that will be very interesting to you. Sometimes we forget the importance of our attitude and how it affects our lives. This is one of those spaces that helps us remember it and supposes an extra dose of motivation and optimism.
Creativity, as the germ of the genuine and nucleus of the evolution of the human being, is one of the most revisited mysteries throughout history, even today it continues to be one of the most investigated and investigated fields by scholars of all the areas: From science, psychology or philosophy. Why does inspiration disappear and our creative process is hampered at times? Why do we feel more inspired some days than others? They are more complex questions than we might believe and to answer them it is necessary that we know the phases of the creative process and the inquiries and investigations that have been developed over time. Then I leave you with Sandra, who will talk to us with total simplicity and precision on the subject. You can also access the video version below.
It was in the nineteenth century when the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare He spoke for the first time about the 4 stages that make up the creative process and that are still valid today. The bad news is that one of those stadiums is not directly up to you; But the good news is that the other three do, and the more you work on them the greater your indirect influence on the one that does not depend on you. Let's see them!
- Preparation
The first stage of the creative process is preparation, which consists of delving into the problem, immersing yourself in it, and gathering as much information as possible about it. Think about the topic you want to brainstorm about and soak up it. Read everything you can, look for videos or conferences where this topic is discussed and find out non-stop.
- Incubation
The second phase of the creative process is incubation. Once you have absorbed as much information as possible about your topic, keep it in mind throughout your daily activities and interactions. Relate it to everything you live and observe it from all angles. At this stage you will think many things that will not make sense to you, because what it is about is to collect ideas as they arise, without judging them, even promoting a little madness about it.
- Lighting design
The third phase, the lighting phase, is the one that depends the least on you, since being a crucial moment in the creative process, it will probably appear when you least have it. It is the culmination of the process and is usually characterized by the emergence of a revolutionary idea or vision on the subject.
- Execution
And finally, the fourth and final phase of the process is execution. No person can be considered creative if they just come up with great ideas. Creativity requires creation. In this phase, you will put your revolutionary idea into practice, and the most important thing to keep in mind at this time is persistence.
Every creative process goes through successes, mistakes, good moments and moments of crisis. Your attitude and your commitment will depend on whether you manage to bring your idea to reality. And these are the 4 stages of the creative process. As you can see, they are very intuitive and most of the process depends on you and your decision not to give up until the revolutionary idea that you hope to produce arrives.
