6.CREATIVITY PRACTICE 1 - AHA PHOTOS
We are going to start our creativity practice by using AHA Image Cards by Dorota Raniszewski @ https://photo-in-coaching.com/ who is a Photography Coach, teacher, artist. She has created this trademarked original collection of photographs to evoke emotions (positive), stimulate reflection & help you to tell a story
Their task is to open our minds to what is essential in life to pursue personal satisfaction, health, happiness, and self-realization: “It is about dreams, relationships, feelings, motivations, faith in the future, self-confidence, identity, values, living in the environment.”
The images illustrate mindfulness, leaning towards the sun, optimism, searching for sense, appreciation of beautiful moments in life, the awe of the world, and admiration for humanity’s best sides. All photos capture genuine moments and fragments of reality.
Spend a few minutes looking through the photos and pick which one(s) illustrate what you are grateful for & how
7.CREATIVITY PRACTICE 2 - GRATITUDE PHOTO HUNT
