Creativity plays a huge role in human life. Creativity in each of us

Seminar lesson

Question 1. What is creativity and how is it manifested?

Creativity is usually understood as artistic, scientific and technical creativity. But the creative element takes place in any kind of activity: in business, sports, games, in a simple thought process, in daily communication, as the famous physicist, academician P. Kapitsa says - wherever a person does not act according to instructions. The essence of creativity is in the discovery and creation of a qualitatively new one that has any value. In scientific creativity, new facts and laws are discovered, that which exists, but which was not known. Technical creativity invents what did not exist, new devices. New spiritual, aesthetic values \u200b\u200bare discovered in art and new artistic images, new artistic forms are created, "invented". Philosophical creativity combines the features of scientific and artistic creativity.

Different types of creativity differ in results, products of creativity, but obey the same psychological laws. Any process of creativity presupposes a subject of creativity, a creator, prompted to creativity by certain needs, motives, incentives, possessing certain knowledge, skills, and creative abilities. The main stages of the creative process are common: preparation, maturation ("incubation"), insight ("insight") and verification.

The natural inclinations of creativity are inherent in every person. But in order to reveal them and fully develop them, certain objective and subjective conditions are needed: early and skillful learning, a creative climate, volitional qualities of a person (perseverance, efficiency, courage, etc.).

Question 2. Can a person live without creativity?

We quite often touch upon the topic of creativity in our everyday conversation. Be it someone's well-performed song, written music, or a verse, or maybe even a painted picture. But that's not all, creativity manifests itself in our lives in small things. This is a lovingly cooked dinner for the husband, and a cheerful face on a child's plate, and rearrangement in the house, this is also a fresh idea that is waiting for embodiment. Whether we like it or not, creativity is inextricably linked with the life of a person, because a person himself is the creator of his life and his own happiness.

Creativity is a powerful flow of energy that you just need to discern in yourself and direct in the right direction. This stream is in everyone, perhaps in someone it is better developed, in someone else it sleeps. For example, I love to draw, but someone is fond of photography or sculpture. In any case, this is an inner work that wants to see its fruits. When we look at the works of talented artists, isn't the play of colors fascinating us, the simplicity of the plot, some understatement, some mystery that we want to unravel. When we see and read a creation, we mentally speak with the author, with his soul. Doesn't our soul wake up after this, is it not filled with a wild thirst for life and its knowledge? Only by revealing ourselves in creativity, we can better read our own and see someone else's soul.

Why can't a person live without creativity? Is there a person without creativity? The creator man is always very sensitive to the world around him, he responds to all his good impulses and changes. At the same time, he sees all the disharmony around him and wants to understand, streamline, simplify. Beauty is always in harmony, therefore, a person in harmony with himself and the world around him is capable of great creative impulses and achievements, you only need the desire to constantly work both externally and with your soul. Moreover, now there are all the means for creativity, as well as a large amount of information that can be understood, realized and expressed in your own way with additions.

Question 3. What is the role of human creativity in the life of society?

Whether we like it or not, creativity is inextricably linked with the life of a person, because a person himself is the creator of his life and his own happiness.

Creative energy is what drives progress. A genius or just a creative person can come up with, invent or optimize something without which or on what millions of people spend an insane amount of physical and moral strength.

Question 4. How does the spiritual, social and physical in human life relate?

The spiritual component of a person is an internal, spiritual state that reflects the aspiration of the individual to certain values \u200b\u200band ideals. This also includes willpower and character.

There are several large social personality types:

- "doers" (For such individuals, active action is inherent, changing the world and other people, including oneself.)

- "thinkers" (scientists);

- "people of feelings and emotions" (workers of literature and art).

- "humanists and ascetics" (the Gospel commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself" finds direct embodiment in their activities.)

The social structure of a person is a system of social roles of a person in different groups of which he is a part; basic human qualities acquired in the process of life (education, upbringing, etc.)

The physical component of a person is the body, or the bodily organization of a person, the most stable component of the personality, based on bodily properties and self-perceptions. The physical component of a person is often referred to as clothing and home, which are an important characteristic of a person's essence. Outcomes:

The concept of the human body emphasizes its biological origin.

In the concept of a person - his biosocial beginning.

In the concept of personality, first of all, the social and psychological characteristics of a person are emphasized: worldview, self-esteem, character, self-esteem, value orientations, lifestyle principles, moral and aesthetic ideals, socio-political positions and beliefs, style of thinking, emotional environment, willpower and etc.

Conclusions. The basis of a person is a stable system of socially significant traits, which are manifested in active participation in the socio-economic and cultural life of society and the possibility of a certain influence on events taking place in society, and sometimes in the world. There are 3 main components of a person: Physical, Social, Spiritual. A person needs a harmonious (uniform and equidimensional) development of all his components in order to avoid problems in one or another part of his life.

Question 5. Is there a connection between a person's lifestyle and creativity?

Sure. Any way of human life is associated with creativity. For example, a person whose hobby is programming can also create in their field of activity: for example, create programs that are completely unusual, going beyond the standard. Lifestyle and creativity are definitely connected.

ESSAY

Creativity in human life

Introduction

creativity personality self-improvement

When we talk about creativity, then, first of all, we mean great people - writers, artists, scientists. However, each person is engaged in creativity in his life - when he tries not only to mechanically perform his work, but also to bring something into it from himself, to improve it in some way. Wherever the goal of activity is born from the depths of the human spirit, creativity takes place. Wherever a person works with love, taste and inspiration, he becomes a master.

People have long been faced with the question: where does the new, new idea, new thought come from? After all, a new thought does not consist of the sum of old ones, otherwise there would be no problem of creativity at all, everyone could create, resembling new ideas.

You can go over the knowledge gained at school and read from books as much as you like - nothing new can be created. You need to change yourself. You need to become capable of creativity, learn to be surprised at the world all the time, all the time to see secrets and problems where the other does not see anything like it. Creativity is a way of life.

The purpose of my essay is to study the role of creativity in human life. To achieve this goal in the abstract, the following tasks were solved:

The attitude to creativity in different epochs is characterized;

The possible appearance of creativity in human life is analyzed;

Conclusions are made about the meaning of creativity and its existence in the life of every person.

In my essay, I tried to reveal creativity not only as a form of interaction between society and the individual, but also as a phenomenon and concept that are considered at the level of either philosophical psychological research and generalizations, or in relation to specific areas of human activity. I tried to reveal creativity, precisely as the essential power of man, as the basis of life.

1. Creativity. Attitude towards creativity at different times

Creativity is a process of human activity that creates qualitatively new material and spiritual values. Creativity is a person's ability, which has arisen in labor, from the material delivered by reality to create (on the basis of knowledge of the laws of the objective world) a new reality that satisfies diverse social needs. The types of creativity are determined by the nature of the creative activity (creativity of the inventor, organizer, scientific and artistic creativity, etc.).

The attitude to creativity in different eras has changed dramatically. In ancient Rome, only the material and work of the bookbinder was valued in the book, and the author was deprived of rights - neither plagiarism nor forgery was persecuted. In the Middle Ages and much later, the creator was equated with the artisan, and if he dared to show creative independence, then it was not encouraged in any way. The creator had to earn his living in a different way: Moliere was a court upholsterer, and the great Lomonosov was appreciated for his utilitarian products - court odes and the creation of festive fireworks.

And only in the XIX century. artists, writers, scientists and other representatives of the creative professions were able to live off the sale of their creative product. As A.S. Pushkin, "inspiration is not for sale, but you can sell a manuscript." At the same time, the manuscript was appreciated only as a matrix for replication, for the production of a mass product.

In the 20th century, the real value of any creative product was also determined not by its contribution to the treasury of world culture, but by the extent to which it can serve as material for replication (in reproductions, television films, radio broadcasts, etc.). Therefore, there are differences in income that are unpleasant for intellectuals, on the one hand, among the representatives of the performing arts (ballet, musical performance, etc.), as well as the dealers of mass culture and, on the other hand, the creators.

Society, however, at all times divided two spheres of human activity: otium and oficium (negotium), respectively, leisure activities and socially regulated activities. Moreover, the social significance of these spheres has changed over time. In Ancient Athens biostheoretikos - theoretical life - was considered more "prestigious" and acceptable for a free citizen than biospraktikos - practical life.

In ancient Rome, vitaactiva - active life (negotium) - was considered the duty and the main occupation of every citizen and head of the family, while vitacontemplativa - contemplative life - and in general leisure were little appreciated against the background of civil service. Perhaps that is why all the genius ideas of antiquity were born in Ancient Greece, and the Romans embodied them in articles of Roman law, engineering structures and brilliantly shaped manuscripts that popularized the works of the great Greeks (for example, Lucretius).

During the Renaissance, at least in the minds of the ideologists of humanism, the primacy of leisure dominated over practical activities, which were supposed to serve only as a source of means for the development of a personality in a time free from social and practical tasks. Modernity has put Cause in the first place (in particular, through the lips of Goethe's Faust), and otium has narrowed it down to a bourgeois hobby.

Interest in creativity, the personality of the creator in the XX century. is connected, perhaps, with the global crisis, the manifestation of the total alienation of man from the world, the feeling that by purposeful activity people do not solve the problem of a person's place in the world, but further postpone its solution.

The main thing in creativity is not external activity, but internal - the act of creating an "ideal", an image of the world, where the problem of alienation of man and the environment is resolved. External activity is only an explication of the products of an internal act. The features of the flow of the creative process as a mental (spiritual) act will be the subject of further presentation and analysis.

Highlighting the signs of a creative act, almost all researchers emphasized its unconsciousness, spontaneity, the impossibility of its control by will and reason, as well as a change in the state of consciousness.

A number of other features of creativity are also associated with the leading role of the unconscious, its domination over consciousness in the process of a creative act, in particular, the effect of "powerlessness of will" during inspiration. At the moment of creativity, a person is not able to control the flow of images, arbitrarily reproduce images and experiences.

Spontaneity, suddenness, independence of the creative act from external causes is one of its main features. The need for creativity arises even when it is undesirable. At the same time, the author's activity eliminates any possibility of logical thought and the ability to perceive the environment. Many authors mistake their images for reality. The creative act is accompanied by excitement and nervous tension. Reason is left with only processing, giving a finished, socially acceptable form to the products of creativity, discarding unnecessary and detailing.

Creativity is something that helps people achieve great success in their lives. It is creative people who become world celebrities and the first historical figures. Leonardo da Vinci, A. Suvorov, A. Einstein, L. Tolstoy, G. Heine, S. Prokofiev, B. Gates, an unknown baker from a nearby bakery and a great many famous and unknown names, representatives of various professions can continue this list - the list people who have shown a creative approach in any kind of activity and have realized their abilities in any field.

As a rule, relatives and friends, bending over the baby's cradle, catching his first movements and reactions to the world around him, predict a great future for the newborn. The imagination of parents in this area has no boundaries. Here, the hypotheses about who is in front of them are fruitfully put forward. Most likely, this is the future great (great): scientist; commander; composer; pop performer; athlete; fashion model; businessman; religious figure, etc. But these assumptions remain only assumptions, nothing more, since the field of personality realization is limitless and presupposes two extremes of the level of self-realization achieved by a person - this is genius and mediocrity, a mediocre and immediate personality.

2. Creativity as a human companion from birth. Creativity as a result of self-improvement

The question of the presence of a person's creativity and the need for self-realization has been and is relevant from ancient times to our time. The ability to create - what is it, a given or the result of a person's enormous efforts on the path of development and self-improvement? There is no unequivocal answer to this question, and hardly anyone will ever be able to answer it exhaustively.

An animal or plant adapts to the surrounding nature purely biologically; whether for this he develops the necessary organs, or develops the necessary behavior, or with the help of special physiological processes, etc. Man, along with biological adaptations, received from nature another, purely social adaptation. It consists in the fact that a person purposefully changes the surrounding nature, adapting it to himself, while making it possible to realize the potential for the development of nature. Thus, he becomes an essential and powerful factor in its development (more essential and powerful than animals). This process of such transformation is usually called creativity.

Such creativity is a human need. If it were not inherent in us, we, being weak biological beings, would not be able to adapt to the physically strong world around us and would inevitably perish. People are forced to oppose their own strength to the force of the surrounding world, and this force is created in the process of their creative activity.

These forced actions, as in the case of the acquisition of new knowledge, are also supported by the tremendous pleasure and joy that a person receives during the period of creativity and upon the successful completion of a creative work, regardless of whether this is done in the process of mental or physical labor. The power of satisfaction from creativity is even stronger than the pleasure obtained from the acquisition of new knowledge, which was mentioned earlier. This satisfaction is the pleasure of triumph over the world around us and cooperation with it, the pleasure of fighting the difficulties that life puts before us, the joy of a pioneer on a path that others have not been able to go through, the pleasure of reaching new heights, new achievements, the joy of your contribution to improving the lives of others. This is an exciting feeling of competition with the same creators and with myself (after all, I could not do this before), a sense of pride in the results of my creative work, which people need. All this has a beneficial effect on the condition of each person, society as a whole.

But in addition to beneficial effects, adverse effects are often observed. The unfavorable influence of creativity arises when it is directed not for the good of society, but only for obtaining personal pleasure from it. And this happens when the satisfaction from creativity takes on the form of pleasure from domination over the surrounding world, which supposedly manages to change at will. Where does such creativity lead, let's say a little later.

Because of satisfaction, pleasure that a person gets when he performs a creative act, work based on creativity, out of duty for survival, profit, etc. turns into pleasure. Anyone who has even a little contact with creativity knows this. So the authors of these lines, creating this brochure, also receive great satisfaction, which, without any compulsion, encourages them to engage in this creative work.

At the same time, the direction and quality of creativity essentially depend on the nature of the interest of society and its ability to provide initiation, the process of creativity, bringing the results of creativity to the level of readiness for their perception and use, and, finally, to ensure their very use.

Creativity is based on the knowledge and skills available to the creator. Knowledge and skills are social products. Creativity is also not the business of one person alone, but the business of the whole society, especially since they often do not alone, but in whole groups. Creativity is also a social phenomenon.

Moreover, since creativity is associated with the transformation of the world around us, and therefore, is a factor in its change, its development, its evolution, has an impact on the whole world, then it can be considered not only a social, but a universal phenomenon.

So the ancestor of man could be considered a man only when he developed the ability to create, and he realized this ability. Animals have almost no such ability; they, as far as we know, in contrast to the ability to obtain and use knowledge, in fact, do not even have the beginnings of creative activity, which makes a person different from them. Since the emergence of creativity in human society, it continues to delight and sadden us throughout our history. Moreover, the scale of creative activity grew exponentially on the basis of the same growth in knowledge, skills and previous creative achievements.

The rapid growth of creativity, on the one hand, generally improves people's lives, and on the other hand, it becomes dangerous for him. The danger is as follows.

Creatively transforming the world around him at will, trying to adapt it to himself, a person willy-nilly interferes in the course of natural natural processes that occur independently, independently of him and do not need outside intervention. By this, he makes the world around him change, disregarding his readiness to change, by which he commits an act of violence against the surrounding nature, the scale of which, with the growth of human power, has already increased to menacing proportions.

He interferes in the affairs of other people and entire nations, interferes with the processes taking place inside organisms, cells, molecules, in the processes flowing in water bodies, in soil, in the atmosphere, in space, etc.

Intoxicated by the successes of such violence perpetrated by him, man imagines himself almost God, believing that he can subjugate everything. It's only a matter of time: some processes can become subject to his will today, and others - tomorrow. Is this really so? Is man almighty in nature? Is the expression attributed to Archimedes true: "Give me a fulcrum and I will turn the world over"?

It turns out not. It has long been noticed that violent transformation, change does not bring the desired success. On this occasion, as early as 1883, F. Engels expressed the idea in Dialectics of Nature: “Let us not be too deluded by our victories over nature. For each such victory she takes revenge on us. Each of these victories has, it is true, first of all the consequences for which we counted, but second and third, completely different unforeseen consequences, which very often destroy the meaning of the former. " ... Earlier, Hegel called such an effect in relation to social processes "the irony of history." And this happens because such interference disrupts the natural course of processes that the creator wants to change at will, regardless of their objective independence from the desire of a person, with the possibility of changing only an object ready for this, without full knowledge of the possible consequences, which is fraught with an unfavorable outcome , both for the process itself, and for the person-creator who changes it.

The denial of the omnipotence of man and the punishment of people who do not take into account this reality is also indicated by any religion that imposes a taboo (prohibits) on attempts to change the environment and interfere in processes beyond its control. According to various religious beliefs, they are subject only to a certain deity who does not allow a person to invade a world that is alien to him and punishes him for this intrusion. Such beliefs, naturally, were based on the experience of a person who at every step felt his weakness in front of the forces of nature, the personification of which was God, good and evil spirits, etc. They already then - at the time of their emergence, even at the dawn of the development of mankind - warned man: your attempts to forcibly change the world independent of you will be unsuccessful and end in trouble for you (God's punishment).

We live in a class society in which domination and violence of some over others is natural. A person in him constantly feels competition and dictate over a person from the side of other people in determining his social behavior: children - from the side of their parents, students - from the side of teachers, workers - from the side of their bosses, soldiers - from the side of commanders, the poor from the rich etc. And dictators, small and large, having this or that power over others, inevitably use it for violent actions over the latter. Violence in our society is universal. So we have creators-dictators, from whose creativity, its violent nature, everything around suffers, and with the current multiply increased possibilities, such an unreasonable, violent transformation of the environment can lead to the destruction of humanity.

Others may say (and say) that since humanity is so unreasonable that it is ready to commit suicide, then let it destroy itself. Nature will not suffer from this. Having said this, they will be fundamentally wrong. Nature will still suffer from the death of humanity and, perhaps, it will be a real disaster for the world around us, and even a catastrophe of a universal scale. The way out in this situation is in one thing: in the destruction of the system of domination of some over others, the power of some over others, generating violence, including the violent nature of creativity. It is not domination that should rule in human society. Nowhere is it in nature, except as we have - people, nowhere is there any domination of some over others. Mutual assistance, cooperation, interdependence of all from each other, as is the case between the mentioned pairs of integral objects, should rule. These objects are integral because they are interdependent. Because of this, it is impossible to destroy them, since each part of this pair separately cannot exist for a long time without the other. And they exist only in pairs. The destruction of one component of the pair automatically leads to the disappearance of the other. In the case of the elimination of domination in human society, the same rule takes place: if there is no master, there will be no subordinate who is the object of violence from the master. And in the absence of the phenomenon of domination in society, it will naturally disappear from creativity.

There is nothing unexpected and surprising in the appearance of creative abilities: these abilities have been inherent in everyone since childhood. They are often simply forgotten. Remember your childhood, when you, using the pictures you saw, heard or read from someone else's life, kept in your memory, purely intuitively, using your imagination alone, composed such stories that grown-ups, if they could hear them, only marveled. It is not without reason that children are considered the greatest dreamers. Unfortunately, people, growing up, in their activities more and more use logical operations with gradually accumulating false information and by this they drive their former creative abilities deeper and away from real knowledge, problems and opportunities. But they can be extracted if you neutralize thinking and give free rein to intuition, unstoppable human fantasy and imagination - mental intuitive actions, as suggested above (for example, to retire or leave the environment that interferes with listening to the "inner" voice, or by an effort of will to retire mentally).

A person often does not have complete knowledge about the interdependencies of a created object with its environment, although ideally it is desirable that they be in order to avoid negative effects from creativity. And since there is no complete knowledge, then the result planned the day before should not be expected from the creative act or, in extreme cases, the result should not be expected immediately. In order not to be disappointed in your activities or not to do stupid things, you need to know some rules of creativity that must be followed in this case.

Rule 1. It is impossible to expect the same results with the same impact on different objects to be transformed (transformation objects).

Rule 2. In this case, do not try to forcefully change the objects of transformation in order to still get what you need, since such violence will not only not give the desired result, but can also become a source of danger, both for the environment and for the creator. In order to achieve our goal, it is necessary, with the help of appropriate purposeful actions, creation of appropriate conditions, first to bring the objects of education to the desired state ("maturity"), and then only to transform it.

Rule 3. Creativity consists in creating qualitatively new elements in our environment - objects with new relationships to the surrounding world, ie. with new properties.

Rule 4. The transformation object can be considered qualitatively changed only when it has at least two opposite properties (qualities) and for the manifestation of each of them it is enough to change the environment in which the transformation object is located.

Rule 5. If at the first stage of creativity the object of transformation acquired undesirable properties, then the changes continue in the direction of eliminating the shortcomings obtained at the first stage until the planned results are obtained.

Rule 6. Creativity should be aimed at results that are positive for humans and the surrounding nature.

3. Creativity in each of us

Since creativity is a property of man that distinguishes him from an animal, then it should be inherent in all people. Creativity plays a huge role in everyone's life. With an intensive creative process, a person has a great desire to live, to be happy. Each person should let creativity into his life, because a creative person cannot follow the beaten path. He must find his own. And he must go alone - to break out of the collective mind, collective psychology.

Most people would like to realize themselves in creativity, but for some reason this remains at the level of a dream. These people can buy tickets to theaters, concerts and exhibitions. For hours discussing other people's creativity - books, plays, painting or music, being true connoisseurs of art. But at the same time remaining in the shadow of the more successful and fortunate.

Why do most talented people bury their abilities, inventing all sorts of excuses, thereby justifying their fear of their own creativity? As Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky said: "The impulse to creativity can just as easily fade away as it arose if left without food." But one day the realization comes that life has turned into an endless pursuit of money and has lost any other meaning.

Envy appears towards those who were not afraid to start the creative process and achieved recognition.

The classic excuse for these people is lack of time. But once a person changes his daily routine, spend an hour thinking, philosophizing, and he will understand that there will be time for the embodiment of creative ideas by itself.

Creativity in a person's life requires inspiration, but many reject the lack of inspiration. And as soon as they try to create, they themselves will catch the appropriate mood. Having plunged headlong into something interesting, the next day they will already look forward to the moment when they can continue to create.

After all, the theme of creativity in the life of each of us plays a huge role. Thanks to creativity, a person is able to express his emotions and experiences, to convey mood. Of course, it is foolish to hope that your hobby will bring you millions, becoming Coco Chanel or Paulo Coelho is not so easy.

However, all your work can be more than compensated if, instead of regular pointless entertainment that relieves you of boredom and a certain amount of money, you spend a part of your time on the implementation of a long-cherished idea. But don't waste your creative time on overtime. Perhaps in this way you can replenish the family budget, but in your soul this will not add to the joy.

And yet, sometimes doubts arise about how important the role of creativity in a person's life is - does anyone need it? But first of all you need it and sometimes even just need it. Since plunging into the world of his own ideas, a person eliminates the possibility of experiencing constant stress from real events taking place in the world.

Moreover, not every modern person, giving his work 8-12 hours a day, can see the results of his work. A person may not even see piles of documents processed during the working day in reality, they are replaced by some virtual electronic files. And only creativity can allow you to experience the pleasure of the result of your labor.

And as George Prince said, "Another word for creativity is courage." Courage in creativity is the ability to make a decision in a situation of uncertainty, not to be intimidated by your own conclusions and bring them to the end, risking personal success and your own reputation.

And there is no doubt that every person is a creative person. The life of each person is individual, no one will ever repeat the life path of another person. This means that life is creativity, and creativity is life.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are not so many people on Earth who never experience a state of complete apathy, when there is neither the strength nor the mood to do something. It's hard to get out of this state.

But all the failures that have fallen on your head will not last forever. A month will pass, then another - and everything will seem small and funny, at least a little sad, but not tragic. You need to create your future happy life, dream about it, paint with bright multi-colored paints. You need maximum concentration and a positive attitude.

If you scold yourself for not doing this and that today - tomorrow you won't do it again! It is better to forgive yourself from the bottom of my heart and tune in to the next day - I will definitely do everything that is necessary, I have enough strength ...

What can help keep you feeling healthy and optimistic long enough? What at all times moved a person in his life? Creation! Creativity plays a huge role in human life. It is precisely this that can save us in trouble, bring us out of the most dead-end situations in life, support when there is no strength, show the way if we are lost in a difficult life. It is creativity that gives meaning to our existence. If a person is able to relate to life creatively - he will live!

Creativity is action, and action is independent. Very often, creative people are not understood by those around them, but this should not affect the actions of the creator. A creative person should create for himself, and not for the sake of society. And most importantly, a creative person lives in each of us.

The purpose of my essay was to study the role of creativity in human life. The work says more than once that the role of creativity in human life is enormous. Creativity is the foundation of life. Thus, the purpose of the abstract has been achieved.

The concept of "creativity" is broad and multifaceted. It keeps pace with the person, helps us to develop. How much it is necessary to engage in creativity, how it affects the psychological state - let's try to figure it out. We all come from childhood Each of us was engaged in creativity in childhood and adolescence. We sculpted bunnies in kindergarten, drew, played musical instruments, put on scenes at matinees and got real pleasure from it.

If you remember childhood feelings, your involvement in life and the richness of the day, it seemed that there were so many interesting, unexplored things ahead. With a feeling of curiosity, the child wakes up in the morning and runs to discover the world, he asks a thousand questions to his parents, constantly changes his actions, finds more and more new hobbies. Growing up, a person, as a rule, spends his day with "useful and adult" activities, reducing the percentage of creativity many times over. Work, responsibilities appear, and a person artificially begins to create a framework for himself and sometimes exists in them all his life. The specificity of the development of man and human society is the process of going beyond the limits of existing knowledge and experience, mastering new knowledge and gaining invaluable experience.

Creativity solves this problem, it is exceeding the initial level of activity in a unique and very effective way. Creativity is the joy of creation. Creativity plays a huge role in a person's life and his psychological state. So, in tsarist Russia, in order to prepare a girl for marriage and choose a worthy husband, young men and women were taught the basics of various arts, and creativity was a daily duty for them.

If a person did not know at least 30 dances, including 14 waltzes, he could not get to the ball. Judge for yourself, what would he do there? It is forbidden to stand at the ball when everyone is dancing, to be silent when it is time for conversation. Such people, depicting part of the interior, are removed and are no longer allowed to the balls. You must comply with the accepted rules of etiquette in society, be an interesting conversationalist, active, when everyone is dancing - dancing, showing interest, respect for people. On the one hand, it is part of a certain lifestyle. Having transformed, society changed its habits and dressed in different clothes, leisure and entertainment changed balls to dance floors of clubs, but the need for educated, interesting, creative interlocutors remained.

On the other hand, creativity is one of the main sources of inner strength, a feeling of energy, joy, inspiration, and uplift. There are not so many people on Earth who have not at least once fallen into depression and apathy. How to get out of this state as quickly as possible, and what is even better - not to be in it ?! Being positive is very helpful in being creative. Creativity is action, and action is independent. Do, create, fantasize! Draw pictures, embroider with beads, sculpt from clay, build locks from matches, create models of cars, tanks, airplanes - whatever you want, if only this hobby is fun. You need it!

When you do what you love, even the most difficult thoughts recede, the mind and body rest. A rested brain will definitely find the right solution. When a person creates, creates something new, he has no time to get sick, diseases recede. This is especially true for the elderly. Always allow at least 15 minutes to be creative. After all, this time you will spend alone with yourself and what you love. Plunging into the world of his own ideas, a person excludes the possibility of experiencing constant stress from real events taking place in the world.

Surprisingly, even 15 minutes of creativity a day will add strength and desire to act for the whole day. Moreover, not every modern person, giving his work 8 - 12 hours a day, can see the results of his work. Even piles of documents processed during the working day can not be seen in reality: they are replaced by some virtual electronic files. And only creativity can allow you to experience the pleasure of the result of your labor. Children can help in creativity - play with them, draw or make with your own hands. Distracting from everyday life and vanity, you will become closer to the child.

Joint creativity and interests cement family relationships. If you have difficulty communicating with your partner, find common ground. Think about what you can do together, maybe going to dance classes together will return ease and understanding to the relationship. Creativity can also be underestimated, unrecognized, invisible and understandable only to its author, but at the same time it is still creativity. The creative result is measured not by the cost or the number of discs sold, but by the strength of emotions, feelings and smiles on your face, the reaction of viewers and fans, family and friends.

In fact, our whole life is creativity.

A continuous process of creation.

Creating something new and changing the existing one.

So let's use it!

The Creator is the one who completely takes control of life into his own hands.

And every step for him is like a brush stroke on a picture.

The Creator realizes that only he himself is responsible for his life, and no one else.

Therefore, for such a person, life becomes the artist's canvas, where with every moment something new, unique and inimitable appears. It does not emerge by itself, no. The gradually emerging image in the picture is completely subordinated to the artist's brush! At first, such a picture is an indistinct daub. But with each stroke, the original intention of the creator becomes clearer and clearer.

If we approach our life creatively, then it develops surprisingly beautifully. By taking responsibility for our lives into our own hands, we are truly capable of many things.

The main thing is not to blame fate, accidents, difficult childhood, etc. All this is just a springboard for us to become better. When we realize that even mistakes and defeats can be turned to our advantage, then life will never be the same.

A person who treats his life creatively always knows what he is doing and for what.

Of course, we cannot control everything without exception, but this is not necessary. The Creator only sets the direction of the flow of life, and with gratitude accepts what is on his way.

The life of the creator goes hand in hand with the disclosure of his purpose.

, - for such a person these are not empty words.

It is difficult to describe in words what people experience who have found what they like in this life. Clarity and harmony is the most appropriate definition of the life of creators. Everything in their life makes sense, nothing just happens.

A clear understanding of why we are here and what we must do - what could be better? The Creator fully possesses this understanding. That is why they, for the most part, live joyfully and happily.

And you can become this creator.

What your life will be like depends only on you.

Friends, the description of the “life as creativity” approach will probably not be understood by everyone. And it's not about us at all. It's just the same as trying to explain to a person the taste of a fruit that he has never tasted. Of course, you can create a distant representation using words. But not more. Understanding will come only after a person experiences through personal experience what is said in this article.

I sincerely wish you, dear reader of SIZOZH, to feel this for yourself. This is the most real magic, and you will definitely understand it when you try.
