I take classes to challenge myself and build some creativity. Right now I am taking a French class and then we will all go to France with the brood. My husband said he refuses to order anything or get a taxi so that I can show off haha :) I like taking art classes as well and going to the museum with Liam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge-your-creativity#post-36529 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:59:43 +0000 Red 36529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recharge my creativity when I get to plan an event. Half the fun is researching the endless possibilities. Taking art/craft classes also does the trick.....or just watching decorating/cooking/diy shows on TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge-your-creativity#post-36499 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 15:38:48 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 36499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I write creatively and I feel like I have to be home alone to be able to work. Otherwise I get self conscious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge-your-creativity#post-36482 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 15:11:00 +0000 lemondrop 36482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I need to get out and go to an art festival. We have a great one twice a year in Tempe that I always have to go to- I have so many ideas and inspirations that it carries me for a while. </p> <p>Otherwise I get out and go hiking and take the camera. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge-your-creativity#post-36310 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:16:51 +0000 MegWag 36310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, we kid about it sometimes, but we don't usually. We have different styles and strengths, which helps. It's the ultimate compliment that I can even make DH laugh- not many people can do it! He looks at me with respect and says "You're very funny."<br /> He has done professional stand-up in the past, which I can't imagine doing. So in that way, he's funnier but in everyday social or storytelling situations I'm funnier.<br /> Needless to say, we laugh a LOT around here!<br /> I totally recommend people try some classes even if they don't have a desire to perform or take it anywhere. It really helps you look at things differently and can be applied in lots of areas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge-your-creativity#post-36307 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:12:33 +0000 mrbee 36307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: Wow, that's really cool!</p> <p>Do you guys ever get competitive about who is funnier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge-your-creativity#post-36301 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:08:02 +0000 MegWag 36301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The biggest thing I've done to recharge my creativity was to get involved in improvisational comedy. I actually wouldn't have met my husband without it. We've since parted ways with the troupe that we were in, but DH and I collaborate on things. We do lots of "bits" and have written some things (nothing that's gone anywhere yet). Just the practice of improving together gets the creative juices flowing.<br /> I do miss performing though! It's a real buzz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-recharge-your-creativity#post-36268 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:17:56 +0000 mrbee 36268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs. Bee and I have both noticed that when we cocoon at home, our creativity and inspiration declines precipitously. So we try and socialize... I also try to read a lot of random non-fiction, in the hopes of making connections to my work. </p> <p>Do you worry at all that your creativity has dipped since becoming a parent? How do you recharge your creativity? </p>
