Creative Mission

COMPREHENSIVE CREATIVE CREATIVITY

Our "Creative Mission" is to foster a rich, interdisciplinary dialogue that will convey and forge new tools and applications for creative, critical and philosophical thinking; engaging the world in the process. Through workshops, tutorials and social media platforms we also strive to entertain, educate and empower people - from individuals, to businesses, governments or not-for-profit groups; we aim to guide them in building a base of constructive ideas, skills and a Brain Fit paradigm - thereby setting the stage for a sustainable, healthy, and creative approach and lifestyle . These synthesized strategic "Critical Success Factors" - can then give rise to applied long-term life or business - Operating Living Advantages and Benefits.

And, at the same time, we encourage Charlie Monger's key attitude and belief - for and with all of whom we reach - " develop into a lifelong self-learner through voracious reading; cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser (and more grateful)* everyday."

#IDEAS: Breaking Through Your #Creative Blocks

Be kind to yourself, even when you feel uninspired. Remember, everything you need is already within you! But you are only human.

HOW TO OVERCOME CREATIVE BLOCKS

A common problem that affects all creatives

Fenny Nadorp is an entertainment and creative industry life coach with more than a decade of experience. She has been trained by neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) legend Tony Robbins, Chloé Madanes, Magali and Mark Peysha. She has teamed up with Mixmag for a series of topic discussions that artists, industry members and fans alike face to create and encourage a safe environment to openly discuss mental health issues.

Creativity is a beautiful thing. As a creative, it's important to take time to step out of the real world and into a world you've created - far from reality, and focus on your own visions and thoughts. Every creative knows that one day, you will hit a creative block. It can last hours, weeks, months and sometimes, even years... especially when you don't take proactive steps to do anything about it.

When you hit a creative block, inspiration seems to disappear and you can't find energy to create. You sit down to work, but nothing appears. When you hit a mind blank like that, it can be frustrating. You might lose motivation and feel empty. During a creative block, it's easy to procrastinate and get sidetracked with other mundane tasks, like scrolling through socials (which can easily lead to feeling like you’re missing out).

It's a difficult cycle, because without your creativity, it can feel like you're hitting more than just a creative road block. Worries about your income can begin to creep in, and feel exhausting and frustrating.

This is where it becomes important to try to pull yourself out of this dark state of mind. It's important to remember that creative blocks happen to everyone, and it isn't happening because you are failing. You are simply human.

BREAK THE BLOCK

Inspirations of passions

Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
