I am naturally VERY lazy. I have in my teen years, spent entire days lying on my bed reading books. ENTIRE days. I think of that now and am amazed that my parents put up with that - and must remember to allow my kids that leisure when they're into that. I do not do this anymore. I simply don't have the time to spare. However - I still think that doing nothing for a little while can allow some very creative thoughts to start blasting their way around in my head. So sometimes, I do like to just sit. Because it's wonderful how much I can create - by not doing anything.
Take Wednesday afternoon for example. I sat for 10 minutes reading a magazine - a deor magazine. I sat looking at the pictures, enjoying the colours - the artwork...and something started banging away upstairs in the right hand side of my brain. The creative moment only hit me yesterday at 4pm - a day later. But it hit with a happy force that sent me creating for an hour. It was a wonderful moment and made me inexplicably happy - that's what being creative does for me and that's why I do it.
Sometimes, it's important to do nothing. It's amazing how much you're actually doing.
