Mine Your Innards For Clues {Aesthete Aperture}

Hey, Everybody! This is Susie deVille, Founder & CEO of the Innovation & Creativity Institute. In today’s episode of the Aesthete Aperture, we are going to Mirror Lake, on a foggy day in Highlands, North Carolina. The path forward on a creative project sometimes is shrouded in mental fog. Don’t rush too fast to lift it — let the murkiness of where you are speak to you and inform you as to what comes next. Don’t force it or try to figure out ALL the next steps. Just ask the project what the next step should be. The next 3 feet.

Be willing to go in a direction you had not anticipated, because sometimes you’ll see that when you were completely clear, you were confidently heading in the wrong direction. To me, foggy days are a blessing — a gifted reminder to pause, go inside myself a bit more deeply, and mine my innards for clues.
