Simple exercise in creativity

- Get an empty notepad and pencil or pen.
- Go somewhere far away from your normal haunts.
- Get situated.
- Look around for an object of interest.
- Draw or write about something that the object of interest reminds you of, or anything else that comes to mind.

Example: You see a tree. It reminds you of a torch. Draw a torch that looks similar to the tree.

This helps you see new things in the objects around you. Clouds can be especially helpful. Some clouds can look like spaceships.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what you draw or write, and whether it has any connection to what is around you. Sometimes simply being inspired is enough.
