Hey there everyone this is BRANDY J and today we are going to be talking about creative thinking and finding your creative thinking or your creativity within. I have several podcasts and I also have a few poetry books that are, well they're ebooks and they are actually in Amazon. So I love to create. I like to write poetry. I like to write songs. I like to make beats. I love to create, create, create. I put creation into all that I do. I've been in the education system for about, let's see, my son is 16 and I started when he was like 5. Yeah so give or take there. But anywho and when you work with kids and you work with the youth that's where creativity shines. I don't even see how it can't even be like a thing at all. Because when you work with children you have to tap in because they are children. We can't really go about things in our adult minds. We have to bring it to their level. But what I also know that's true that it's not really too much different because when it comes to us too we are attracted to things that strike our likes. You know and it strikes our creation, our creativity. We operate just in a different level with maturity and the way we think. But the creativity never goes away and when we create for kids and we create for adults we're still creating to appeal to that person's like mindset or their likes or things that will get them interested. That being said, when we create things, right, I tend to see that people when you say creativity I've heard people say I'm not creative at all. I don't have any. And I'm like no, no, no, no. Definitely there's something. What do you like? What are you good at? What do you love? Even if you don't think anybody else cares or you don't want to share what is your likes? What do you know that you're good at? Right? But they tend to think of like artistic stuff like artist paintings and all these you know what I mean? Like art gallery things and creating these murals like you know what I'm saying right? But when someone made this chair they created it was a creation right? It was an idea and then it became real. The idea, they took it and they created it. They used a creative mind to actually create a product, a chair, an object. Because once you say create that means you brought the creation to existence. The creativity and then the creation. Right? When someone created or thought of this light or these shoes it's still creativity. What am I getting at here? What I'm getting at is we're all creative. I think that's very much not the whole purpose but it goes hand in hand of why we are here. And to tap into that and to embrace it more and to share it more and to help influence other people to bring theirs out more. I think it would be a big part in changing this world for the better because you have to be what you want to see, that change. So if you're not giving to it then what are you doing? Creativity is beautiful and we must always remember that and embrace it. Because it's very purposeful in this life that we live. Creating things that we can use and need is amazing. So let's not ever stop doing that. I hope I brought a little bit of light to where I was going with the creativity within. We're all creatives. Just tap in and if not I'll help you. This is Brandi J and creative thinking is what I know.
