Nurture Your Ideas (Cinnamon Pink)

Nurture Your Ideas

In Bernadette Jiwa's book, Make Your Idea Matter: Stand Out with a Better Story, she offers Twenty Ways to Nurture Your Ideas.

Here are five of my favorite suggestions from Jiwa's list:

Understand your creative process. Be aware of what drives you. Reflect on how you make things happen.
Use tools that inspire you - leather journals, coloured pens, scrapbooks, green ink....
Be on a mission. Why does the idea excite you? Why this idea, why now? What difference will it make in the world?
Don't set goals. Just Go!
Practice blue-sky thinking. Ask "what if?"

How do you nurture your own ideas?
