Creativity begins with awareness. We have to see things in the world that we would normally ignore. There is a world of inspiration in something as simple as a grapefruit. The artist might notice the colors. The musician might notice the sounds when it’s peeled. The chef might hone in on the unique flavors and aromas it offers. All of us can choose to put our attention wherever we desire.
This is a simple activity that you can do to feed your creative process. The beauty of it is that it’s a simple reframing of something you do every day anyway. It also offers something new every time you do it. Try it with whatever food you happen to be in the mood for right now!
