Chronicle from the lockdown: time for divergent thinking ^_^
I'm here again for my usual chronicle from the lockdown in Italy.
At first, a brief summary of the "previous episodes" for people who read me for the first time:
Here in my country the restrictions started February 23 adopting the measure of lockdown in some red areas where the first infected people lived. On March 4 days, cause the contagion in different areas, the government decided to close the school (every kind of schools) and to cancel the events on the entire country, bar and restaurant opened just until the 6.00 PM and other restrictions. The March 8th started the total blockdown in the entire country and people can go out from home just for work, for health or to buy food.
Shops are closed, artisans can't work or can work just for what they can do at home, a lot of freelance can't work or can whark just for what they can do at home. Yes, it's not simple now and it will be no simple after the quarantine. Now we have to think just abut health, but after we'll have to think about economy, the small economy that help simple people to live.
People on social media, after a week of lockdown, looks really rude and I'm trying to stay out of there more than I can, spreading just positive things to my followers (sure, inviting them to stay safe and to take care of them).
Well, I don't want to think something negative, because I have to stay at home in a relaxed way (more thank I can do!) and so I'm improving my creativity ^_^
The words for today are: divergent thinking!
The "Divergent thinking" is a way to have creative ideas exploring different solutions and it's a process I've always used also when I worked as office chief (years ago) and working as project planner too. Sure, it's fantastic for my work on art ^_^
In the first pic you can see an example on how I used today the divergent thinking. I have to explain:
Today my anxiety was high level (nothing serious, but sometimes it happens ^_^) and I really needed to think myself in a "world apart" where everthing looks so quiet and full of serenity, so I created that "world apart" using a pic I took and my graphic tablet . It worked, after I created it, I felt myself in the right mood ^_^
At the end, I think creativity is one of the best way to share some good vibes around.
In the following pics you can see some detail of my backyard:
Well, my cat is waiting me on the sofa, good night to everyone and stay safe, stay at home.
