Beating boredom

Everyday, our state’s Central Power Distribution cuts off around 3 hours of power supply to our area. On one such day, during those three or so hours, my sister and I sat down and cut up old magazines. My idea, of course, but it suited us fine since we both were pretty bored.
The task was simple: Find something in the magazine that called out to us - be it words, pictures or phrases, it didn’t matter. We cut them out into rectangles and squares (at least the best we could’ve without using a ruler and under scant daylight) and then arranged them together on a page, mixing our cut outs together.
The end result: a combination of both our personalities.

“No matter how many times you have to start over, somewhere inside of you is the answer. As long as you live you have unlimited chances to get it right. With each attempt you learn. You learn you can make mistakes and get past them. You discard what doesn’t work and replace it with what does. You don’t loose anything.”
“You make choices every day and use your creativity in every aspect of your life. How creative, innovative or original you are really depends on how confident you are in the arena of the problem you are facing.”
“The worst thing that can happen is for you to give up. Creativity is a part of our essence, without it - we will stagnate.
Trust in that small voice, the one that says:
‘I can do this, I have something to share.’ “
I usually find this an uplifter and confidence booster for the times when nothing works. Words by Tera Leigh, How to Be Creative If You Never Thought You Could.
