im more the kinda mind that’s always active
I always think im never in the moment and i spend almost the whole day daydreaming…anyways i think i am a creative person
but I wanna be more focused, and more in the moment because I read in the book " the power of now " that creativity is produced by the calmed focused mind
so what do you think ? you think i should change ?
you think I won’t be creative anymore if I do ?
You may have what’s called Maladaptive Daydreaming. It’s a little understood condition that causes obsessive daydreaming. Take a look at this article:
If the person in that article sounds like you, that may be your problem. I also have this problem; I’ve suffered with it for many years.
Over the years, as I teacher, poet, emerging singer, and hopefully a good friend, I have discovered that I have a natural gift or talent for spiritual counseling, an innate understanding of how the mind is connected to the spirit and helping other people access their inner guidance, inner peace, creativity, etc. through meditation, prayer, dreamwork, reading, writing, film, music, etc..
Not that I am this perfect person. Trust me, I have my own inner work to do too, and life continues to bless me with my own share of lessons. But I know that I am being called to help others as I continue to grow spiritually and artistically myself.
I have noticed a lot of online courses, but, not to be too judgmental here, some of them appear to be scams. How do I even begin to sort through them all and find the legitimate courses or programs, or do you think it would best to find a school in the New York area? Even then, how does one sort out the legitimate ones from the scams?
Jan–please do not make neg. assumptions ab. my intentions. I am def. not in the business of "messing with people’s minds." Even if the idea of spirituality sounds like hocus pocus to me, for me and many others like me spirituality is real. TY for your answer, nonetheless. It showed me I am on the right track here. Even if there are no legit. online courses, there is a great need for spiritual healing in our world. Peace to you.
According to the website first page, it is an accrediated Masters Degree in Counciling, with emphasis in Spiritical Counciling. It also indicates that on-line teaching is available. You need to check out Johns-Hopkins.

Remember in 2007-2008 with all the DX reunions. Felt like they had no idea what they were thinking with their 3.1-3.2 hits with DX being main priority. Now that we actually have ENTERTAINING and FRESH feuds we are seeing 4.1’s which in reality is 6 million viewers nationwide. Arent you glad to see fresh feuds and interesting storylines on RAW again?
yeah, im really liking the HHH/Orton feud. i like how HHH chased Orton and DiBiase backstage and the WWE actually showed it this time and didn’t leave you hanging. haven’t seen WWE like that in a while. also, the Cena/Edge and Vickie feud looks like its going nice too. i liked the HBK/JBL feud too and i can’t wait to see HBK kick Kozlov’s teeth down his throat and that undefeated crap cuz he lost at No Way Out. and when the legends going to kick Jericho’s ass, its like bunch of men being mocked and beaten on. the only legend that struck Jericho was Flair. if they really want to spice things up then Jericho needs to get his ass kicked by a legend.
I fear the web will be outdated soon a nd ll be left jobless.I feel multimeida is better sice its braoder but shouldnt i be specializing.?Help!
The Web ain’t going nowhere!!! The web is still in it’s infancy and really just getting started. The web has only been around for a little over 10 years.
We are only scratching the surface of what we can do on the web. Saying the web is outdated is like saying cars are outdated. The only thing you need to fear is being able to keep up with the technology.
The web is just starting to warm up. The next 10 years will be very exciting and rewarding. You are actually in a very good position. You can be a part of the cutting edge technology that will revolutionize the web. You just need to find your niche!!!
The attitude of the dancer? (like.. smiling brightly while dancing as opposed to keeping a stern face)
Creativity in the audition? (I heard that you have to make up your own solos when you audition)
The source of Training (such as being trained at a world renown studio as opposed to a small, privately run school)?
College? (Do they pay more attention to people who went to special dance colleges or do they treat all degrees and diplomas and stuff the same?)
Heigh and weight?
What is it that companies pay the most attention to? I am really curious to know =)
It depends on what the director’s looking for. For the really big name ones, the most important things are your dancing (both technical ability and your stage presence – you don’t need to have Margot Fonteyn’s stage presence, but you need to be able to having your dancing catch the eye of a jaded professional) and your overall appearance (not just height/weight, but your overall attractiveness as well). A lot of times, they have a certain idea in their head, and if you fit it, swell. If you don’t, you have to be AMAZING for them to reconsider. Even then, they might not take you – there are a lot of companies that like a uniform look to the corps, and if you don’t fit that, you don’t fit that.
For the non-big names, the quality of your dancing is much more important. Your grace, your technique, how well you catch the eye… those are very important. There’s more leeway about appearance here, but if you’re too far from what they want, you’d better be a whole lot better than the competition.
As for the other factors… having a famous teacher will get them to watch you, but if you don’t meet their expectations, you’re worse off than if you had a non-famous teacher because they’ll remember being disappointed. You might also end up trying to impress someone who knows your teacher from back when they were in the corps together and has hated them for decades as well easily as someone who adores your teacher. Years of experience and college degrees seem to mean squat (and again, they can count against you if you don’t meet the expectations they create), although you need to have enough experience to have the basics down well. Attitude is a sorta issue. If you’re horrible, don’t be surprised if no one wants to work with you, but you’re being judged on your dancing more than your personality. The only important personality thing is that you should seem attentive at all times. Not every audition will make you choreograph something (most of mine didn’t), but then it’s more of a bonus than the main thing. Make sure you make something that will highlight your strengths and downplay your weaknesses, because your solo is your time to shine.
So, really, a lot of it is about your talent (dancing, stage presence, acting, ability to learn quickly) and how well you match up with what they’re looking for. The second part is really important to remember if you’re auditioning – if they’re looking for petite girls and you’re six feet tall, it probably wasn’t your dancing that was the problem and someone else might want you.
"Schools are educating creativity and innovation out of children, and sucking the joy out of that experience."
I would understand if someone said: "Squeeze creativity out of them" but "Educating creativity out of them" does not make any sense.
The writer is suggesting that by making children learn loads of facts and figures instead of encouraging them to experiment and find out for themselves, they are squeezing creativity out of them.
I have a group of actors/role players who need to learn how to think creativity; how to solve problems put before them. The setting is a comic book style universe.
I have shown them a lot of comic book cartoons, but they can’t figure out how to get into a locked room.
Shame on you Higurash… talk about a non answer. If I wanted a Google search I would do it, which I did, I was looking for more than just some little meaningless quip.
The thing about the comic book world is how to make the impossible possible and merely just showing some comic books to someone can help for some ideas but exercises are the main way of teaching someone the ideal style for a comic book.
When I mean an exercise, I mean give the main points.
Such as:
Character:
Good points:
Flaws:
Enemies:
Problem:
Solution:
Any outside info:
As far as problems put before them, if the world that they are playing in is practically close to tangible ( their character and personality as well as the world they are placed in) then it should come easy to them. But of course, each person have their own level of creativity and some are better than others.
Being once a role player myself, it is definitely hard when you have to communicate to the other person where your story is going exactly. Like I said before, give them exercises to work with and problems to deal with to get their creative juices flowing and maybe they can figure out how to get into a locked room.
Here is a source that maybe can help you. It’s more for creative writing but the bottom of the page might help you somewhat with exercises.
I consider myself fairly creative and I like to think outside the box a lot.
I always want to try new things, reinvent things and have things that are different from everyone else.
It drives me nuts when I see my friends not think for themselves and want to mimic what I do. It is not so much the "copying" that bothers me it is that they don’t try to channel any creativity for themselves. Am I reading into it too much or is this normal?
You should feel flattered that your friends look to you for leadership. Clearly, you’ve got good ideas — maybe it’s a sign you should start your own company someday.
If it bothers you, you could always try asking your friends for their ideas before contributing your own. Otherwise, just think of yourself as a trendsetter and don’t worry about it.
