Mindfulness is present-moment awareness, oriented towards appreciation and interest. The practice of mindfulness strengthens and develops an attitude of friendliness and openness. This can assist us in a number of ways as we consider what it means to live creatively.
· establishing a practice of meditation or mindfulness as part of “the work before the work”
· self-understanding: knowing what conditions support one’s own creative practice
· having an attitude of exploration and curiosity
· celebrating and nurturing gratitude for sense perception
· recognizing the creative aspect of everyday life
· releasing the identification with the idea of ourselves as creators
· enjoying the creative process itself, rather than being concerned about a result
