Step 3: Composing

Now is the time to let your Creative Self compose a self portrait using the words and images that made it into your final selection. All you will need are scissors.

Step 4: Gluing down

This is the time to Glue down your collage portrait of the special strengths and skills your creativity provides, You will need a glue stich or craft glue and a small paintbrush.

Step 5: Introducing the non-dominant hand

'Other handed thinking' is the act of utilizing your non-dominant hand to directly access the creativity centers in the right brain. Information that comes from the non-dominant hand is generally more intuitive, to the point and from a different perspective.

Step 6: Warm-up activity

This activity is designed to loosen up your non-dominant hand and get both hands working together in a very relaxing creative process. You will need a notebook or sketchbook and a couple of markers or pens.

Step 7: Dialogue with your Creative Self

By giving this abstract and exotic part of you a voice, you will have direct access to insights that have been, until now, remote and difficult to access. You will need a notebook or sketchbook and a marker, pencil or pen.

Step 8: Closing
