Being Creative – Unleash Your Artist

TIME OFF TO BE CREATIVE

Physicians are very creative people. Many doctors are talented musicians, singers, artists, writers and photographers. But it is not easy to be creative in the midst of a busy schedule of seeing patients or after coming home exhausted from working long hours. Time management is challenging and balancing work demands and family commitments takes planning and skill. Having uninterrupted time in order to let your creative juices flow is so important. Being creative takes time.

I am most creative on vacation. While traveling to far off places, my creative spirit becomes invigorated. Getting off the treadmill of my day to day routine somehow stimulates my five senses and gets me to see things in a new way. The colours, sounds, smells, and tastes of far away places serve as a catalyst to trigger my creativity. Being with different people from different cultures, learning about unique ways of seeing the world and being exposed to new environments is inspiring.

Lauren Harris, one of Canada’s Group of Seven artists wrote: “Art is a realm of life between our mundane world and the world of spirit. Art is one of the ways in which man endeavours to find himself in the universe- to place himself in harmony with the Laws and motivating spirit of the life that functions through these Laws. Of all manifestations of man, art seems to exhibit the inner unity of man, his identity, the articulation and relationship and harmonious interplay and accommodation of all the parts in a functioning unity. Art at its highest is not only a creative adventure into a realm beyond that of our everyday concerns… but is a power at work in mankind, a power making for a greater understanding of universal values, of the hidden meaning of life. The environment evokes in us the need to discover living values that increase the depth of our awareness. Art leads us both to find ourselves in our environment and to give that environment new and far-reaching meaning”

Man’s creative work stems from an expression of his inner being. Painting, sculpture, writing, music and dance are the highest form of human expression. Art can express your emotions, symbolize your dreams and give form to your internal energy. When you create a work of art, you leave behind something that did not exist before. If you draw a painting or write a story, you have created something from the depths of yourself.

On numerous occasions I have used time away to be creative. I have fond memories of taking my brushes, paints and easel to a beautiful setting and attempting to capture it on canvas. Photography is another medium that reflects my soul. Looking at an old photo is never as profound as being in the scene but it is surprising how just looking at it can re-ignite the amazing feelings that were part of the old experience. I usually travel with my guitar. It is a bit of a hassle getting it on board the airplane but when I am on vacation I usually have more time to play. Some of my best song writing has been done away from home.

Some people take art classes away from home. Others go on a writing retreat or take a writing course in some far off secluded place. Next time you go away on vacation choose the medium you feel most comfortable with. Write a poem, story or song. Buy the book “Drawing on the Right Side of your Brain” and then with paper and paint or crayons, etc., force yourself to draw. Take an instruction manual along and use the vacation to teach yourself to play the harmonica, guitar, or flute.

Some of you may even think you have no creative ability. Often it is because your expectations are too high. No matter what you do, you feel it is not good enough. You would rather do nothing than do something poorly. Lower your expectations and start somewhere. Let yourself go. Imagine that you are five years old, and you are just starting to create maybe for the first time. Let that child in you have some fun. I recommend taking “The Artists Way” by Julia Cameron on your next vacation. Make creativity part of your next trip away from home.
