The Creative Process
Everything that ever was achieved begins with the desire to accomplish something greater and is developed by the five components of the creative process:
Preparation – the greater the input, the greater the output can be.
(The round, cog-like foundation of the symbol)
Incubation – give the thought elements time.
Your subconscious mind will provide more information while you relax.
(The blue cone-shaped area)
Illumination – the mind ignites with a sudden revelation and you know how to proceed.
(The explosion of white in the center of the symbol)
Verification – test the validity of the idea.
Ask yourself if it is good enough or can it be done better yet.
If so, give it another round in the process.
(The smaller, more colorful replica of the foundation)
Action – start the project and persevere until it is completed.
Without this effort, the idea will weaken and eventually fade away.
(The red horizontal lines which become concentric circles at the top of the symbol)
The more you use this technique, the better it will work for you!
