Good morning friends. This is the second part of my article. Hope you are still going on to explore your happiness.
Just try to find an expression of your creative self. It could be wearing your hair in a different way or trying a new color on your lips. Interestingly, Zorana Ivcevic, of Tufts University, inspired her students by indulging in creative acts from joke-telling to trying wacky recipes. Says sarod master Ustad Amjad Ali Khan,
“We all find unique ways of expressing our creativity. When I’m not playing the sarod, I hum and sing to myself. It’s a new expression. I belong to the world of sounds. I also hear the birds chatter in the morning. I experience the world of aromas through new cuisines.”
Everyone should approach their experiences with an open mind. Indulge in playful experimentation. Photographer Annu Palakunnathu Matthew, who is a professor of photography at University of Rhode Island, USA, believes, “As a photographer, I try to see each day distinctively. I would suggest looking at everyday objects or people that you interact with and trying to ‘frame’ them in your mind. I travel a lot, which I also find fascinating.”
So, if you are a busy individual, slow down and explore laziness. Try doing the opposite of what you’re comfortable with. Says Kuchipudi dancer Kaushalya Reddy, “We need to be stimulated. I do interior designing and also design jewelry.” Meanwhile, actor Uday Chopra sees creativity as, “It’s not what you do, but how you look at things.”
Ruth Richards of Harvard Medical School believes engaging in creative behaviour makes us more dynamic. Says theatreperson Amal Allana, “I indulge myself in poetry or just spend time in my garden. If you are creative every day, it enhances a sense of well-being and happiness too.” -The Times of India
