More creativity through reduction

Wisdom and apple turnover? Really now? Yes.

I asked my Facebook friends at the New Year:

Write a wish for you and one for me that begins with the same letters letters as our first names.

Then there were fireworks of creativity - with wishes such as

  • Happiness and freedom from stress (Sabine)
  • Biscuits and yodelling (Jodith)
  • Cuddling and gratitude (Dominik)
  • Boldness and awakening (Andrea)
  • Money and dress (Gabi)
  • Wisdom and apple turnover (Alexander)
  • Crisis management and equipment (Rudi)
  • Funny moments and huge surprises (Rosemarie)
  • Slowing down and huge numbers of course participants (Eva)
  • Klamauk and down-to-earthness (Bi)
  • Powers and millions - one for you, one for me (Michael)
  • Knee-clapping cheers for both of us (Julia)
  • Charisma and keel under the water (oops!) (Carmen)
  • Love and cake (Lisa)
  • Coconuts and chocolate (Cordula)


The wishes touched me and made me smile - they were definitely the most creative New Year's wishes of my life.

The key to creativity: reduction. By "banning" 24 letters, I had to limit myself to fewer and get creative.

You can also

  • Only wear blue (or green or red) clothing
  • Only say sentences that begin with "S"
  • Cook only new recipes for a week
  • ...


How you can boost your creativity


If you want to encourage your creativity, then build in a restriction somewhere


Restriction is a way to promote creativity.

You think you're not creative? But would like to be?

Creativity in love

February is the month of creativity - with dressing up and more or less creative Valentine's Day gifts.
One of the best gifts I know that we can give each other on Valentine's Day is "36 questions to fall in love again"

I have translated the famous 36 questions into German and published them as a free ebook. You can get it here

36 questions to fall in love again.

You can come up with a nice framework in which to ask your counterpart the questions.

Or you can creatively modify my idea and ask your loved one on Valentine's Day, for example:

Name two wishes for our relationship that begin with the same letters as our first names.

If you want to unleash your creative potential: I explain some of my best techniques for more creativity in the webinar "Unleash creativity". 
In it I explain in 3 simple steps

  • Different forms of creativity - Creativity is more than painting and crafting
  • How to release creative brakes and blockages
  • How to become more creative step by step

Do you want to unblock your creativity and develop your talents more? Then get in touch here to.

I think it would be wonderful if I could accompany and strengthen you - so that you can develop your creativity more. If this interests you, please book a Coaching with me.

So, what makes you creative? I look forward to you sharing your experiences with me!
