7 Daily Rituals Highly Creative People Use to Improve Their Lives
“Creativity is just connecting things.”Over the past 15 years, through our live events and coaching practice, Angel and I have spoken with hundreds of entrepreneurs, artists, and creative types about their personal daily rituals and routines.
And the truly nice thing is that we often learn just as much from our event attendees and clients as they do from us. They tell us about some incredibly creative ideas and projects, and we help them fine-tune the process of getting from where they are to where they want to be.Today, I want to share seven of the most common and prolific rituals and routines we’ve seen repeated by the most creative people we’ve worked with over the years…It’s often said that creativity can’t be contained — that creative inspiration and ideas arise suddenly out of nowhere and then fail to show up when we need them most.
And while that may be true to an extent, when you look at the broader picture you realize that sustained creativity — having lots of creative ideas over time — doesn’t come from a flash of brilliance or a single moment of inspiration.
It comes from a consistent set of rituals and routines that serve as the bedrock for getting remarkable things done:Marcus Aurelius once said, “Stop whatever you’re doing for a moment and ask yourself: Am I afraid of death because I won’t be able to do this anymore?”One of our coaching clients brought that quote to my attention about a decade ago.
