Feeling creatively blocked? When was the last time you broke something? When you break things, it releases a giddy, nervous feeling which is fantastic for creativity.
Danger and rule-breaking stir up our adrenaline. Fight-or-flight kicks in. We must survive. Our brain begins to think creatively to protect us from danger.
Plus, breaking stuff is fun. Fun is a powerful tool for creativity.
So hit up the Dollar Store and buy a few things you want to break. Enjoy the demise of that hideous Christmas mug.
I leave you with a few of my favorite “breaking things” videos to get you in the spirit.
