Why is it so hard to be creative? 

How do you incorporate creativity in your every day life?

I think that being creative is a challenge because it dwells in sub-conscious thought. It can't be forced. But it can be guided by asking "what if"? Great video. Thanks for sharing.

8:04 "..and the marriage between ideas and persuasion is kind of what makes or breaks architecture"

I've been binge watching your content for hours now and I'm loving every second of it. I've had really great ideas with your help, I'm grateful for you and your channel.

As an artist, I'm creative every day, but the issue is investing energy into that creativity.

Just watched this with my 8 year-old daughter who wants to be an architect and she was thoroughly entertained. Very useful info and fun too!

A HUUUUuuuggeee improvement with the editing. This channel deserves more subs.

"We saw it in a dream" I love your videos and I've learnt a lot from you thank you 😌☁️✨

I’ve been checking out your Discovering Architecture playlist and really enjoying your content. I’m no architect but appreciating your openness to new or even old ways we can live more experienced and fulfilling lives by living differently and what seem to me more convenient lives through an architectural coaxing of our society. I also love the sci-fi, historical or pop-culture critiques of the architecture within these works and what they practically get wrong or right in their imaginings. Great channel 😃

i honestly love your videos. i'm 16 and because of you, i want to reach my goal to become any sort of architect.

this is such a timely video, im giving a lecture about practicing creativity and incorporating it into your life this week! awesome resouce

Dami, I understand you are an architect as your profession but I must say your video editing skills are very impressive! And your videos are insightful and helpful even for those who are not in the architecture-sphere. Much love & thanks, Queen ❤️ 🙏🏼

I just loved the way you explained it to us very easily!! and the editing is too good!! 💙

Loved it ❤️ Someone's making their way to becoming one of my fav youtubers 👏

I love the topics and the approach of your channel. I’m trying to relearn what it means to be creative and apply it to my career and this is really insightful.

I think about it like fishing, if you pull too hard the line will snap and you'll lose the fish, if you never real it in... Well you'll lose the fish and your line to reality. Using just the right restraint for the force pulling back leads to a glorious steamed whitefish dinner.... Now I'm hungry.

I'll definitely salute you on 100k on this channel. Great content!

so informative yet entertaining love the video style and the editing is fire 💛

You're very creative, I enjoyed watching this video. As an astronomer, I appreciate you adding the information about Newton and Halley. As a person, I really enjoyed the "explosive results." I am looking forward to watching more of your videos, especially the science fiction oriented ones. Keep up the hard work!

Girl yes. I'm an architect as well. This inspired me to make my video to share thoughts with other creatives

Another fantastic video Dami!! With interesting anecdotes and engaging content. Thank you for the creativity, intelligence, and productivity that you put in to make this video! :)

I just started watching Dami's videos recently and I love how she is such an intelligent, composed speaker. Then every now and then that inner crackhead energy will shine through 😂❤

amazing editing! pretty apt to show off your skills on a video topic about creativity

omg i already love the vibe of this video!!!!!

I am grateful to be able to use my creativity in my job. It makes it less like work. Great video, awesome channel. More like this one for sure please 🙂

Looking forward to it!

I love seeing your emotions as you explain this stuff and have fun doing it! That is what Tom Cruise does, everything with a smile! Great topic. The head of Ford Motors said whether you think you can do something or not, either way, you are right! Take a look at some old 4 cylinder tractors with, so amazing, everything right there where you can see it! Creativity comes to you. You have to block it with distractions etc, so content creators are often alone to avoid blocking thoughts (the auras of other people for example). When you are in public, you expect contrast etc to process later. The patent office procedures play a role, and they are not cheap. Never say anything is hard to do, you will intentionally block your thoughts.

I am dyslexic and had a very hard time learning to read as a child so I taught myself to draw and from expressing myself on paper my my imagination grew and I began to think of ways to incorporate my imagination into all parts of my life.

The thumbnails on this channel are always epic

I'd double or even triple-like this video if I could... It's a so useful, inspirant and creative video. I'm a student In architecture(1st year). This video gave me more savor to study architecture, this creative job, or better, this creative lifestyle🙏

The editing of this video is very creative! Thank you for every piece of information Dami.. I learned a lot today.. -Luke

When that dude gets that Coca-Cola explosion in his face 😂 5.09

As I understand, watching this video and the one(7 tips in creative process), being creative means to abble to mix old ideas we have, freely of critiques, in a new way than they are🙏thanks

Great, please keep it up, every time I see one of your videos I keep taking notes and understanding a lot of things.

Nice video! And nice hair. I'm so happy you find time to share these valuable experiences and information.

I just graduated from highschool today and I want to say that I absolutely love your channel ! Its Really helping me settle on architechture even though people are negative or discouraging about the career

Greatly informative and I am happy to have come across your channel. :)

Loved it. Really great video 👌😊

Your channel is growing Ms. Dami 😍😍😍

how do I incorporate creativity? for me it boils down to why I desire to be alive at all. at a certain milestone in my life, I saw two distinct approaches to life purpose: the fighter archetype, and the lover. I saw people get fired up about taking a stand for something, fighting injustice, fighting standards through competition, hustling, pushing, asserting, and so on. these behaviours didn’t fire me up, and at length I realized I had to drop trying to be what I thought a person was supposed to be. I found that my nature is not that of a fighter, but a lover-an artist. whereas conflict vitalizes some, it only drains me; but harmony & serenity form the bedrock of those inspired acts & insights that I call creativity. I realized that I don’t want to be alive unless I’m expressing my true nature. so creativity, for me, is life-and-death. so with this preamble, now to answer the question as to how I incorporate creativity, I’d say: I found that my true nature was ‘creativity incorporated’-in other words, the universe incarnated (incorporated) this creature, myself, whose primeval nature is to create. and to surrender to the courage to live my true nature, ...that’s all I think about.

I'm genuinely enjoying this even towards the end I see a random clip from sourcefed of Steve and Joe. Great stuff

The creative formula is my main take from the video #thankyou @Dami ❤️

I love your channel ❤️ keep up the good work !

Well Demi, you are a master (or should it be Mistress) of the RU-vid Algorithm. You can talk about anything from donuts to Space travel (FTL). You dont need a subject, just be in front of a camera and talk...I would be glued to the screen and anticipate your next video...FANTASTIC presence and presentation every time..

It's not so hard to be creative. To mashup and brew ideas together to make new stuff is easy. The hard part is to produce stuff that is actually not evil, but thoroughly good and useful. Since we deal with the subconscious expression, undealt emotional issues can taint the quality of our work. As an architect we have a responsibility towards other to produce good stuff. A tormented artist can express garbage, if people like it, it's fine. But here, a thorough self-search and healing is required to create beautiful things.

I agree. Ur other videos are way more interesting than ur laptop review. I was looking for Mac reviews cos i was planning on getting one. Its the reason i found ur channel. You got a new subscriber. 😄

I stumbled on your channel from your "great resignation" video. I'm really enjoying your content and delivery. I've subscribed; keep up the good work.

You know what, I came for the Mac review, I subscribed because of this 😍😍😍🤩🤩

I enjoyed watching this video because of its depth and meaning which to be honest you don't always get to see here in RU-vid. I just started my own RU-vid channel with a lot of ideas in mind. Right now though, I just managed to upload an unboxing experience because sometimes, you just have to do something while waiting for that a-ha moment. You know, I'm trying to cure my analysis paralysis.

love the content, keep it up!!!

Another fabulous presentation!

LOOOVE the video keep it coming!

i love it i love it that bit of advice I gave about ilistarations and visual representations you have adapted it beautifully this one was more engaging and even though it has those very complex terms and explanations I was still engaged I love it you are doing so well not like you were not before I said anything your brilliant and its improving I'm becoming a big fan now

This account is gonna be BIG one day, I can see it

a really good book on this is "Deviate" by Beau Lotto. It basically says we have to first uncover our existing assumptions about the subject, and ask the right question to see in a different light

Thank you for this enlightening video, very nice presentation Madam Architect. But in my case creativity is more of an accident or driven by exterior pressure like what in my past design challenge. In one of my music instruments store project the mall architect pushes me to make a design that would make him say wow, and It took me some time in solving that until I came out to the idea on what the store name means - that lead me to the generation of my design.

*inspirational music building up* "and lastly let your mind fly high- LIKE A KAITTTT!"

Great video, very entertaining to listen to and watch. Thank you

I love this channel!

Thank you for the food for thought your work provides!!

Great video! 😌

@DamiLee Do you do your own video editing and production? It's fantastic. Love the content, too. Nicely done!

I just found your channel, cause RU-vid out of all socials decided to promote you channel!!! And I’m happy the platform introduced me to you rather than a creator.. I decided to give you a chance and i watched three videos!!! No regrets!!! RU-vid chose well to promote you!! 🎉.. new sub my friend!! 🙌 I’ll be following you from now!!! I’m excited to see what else you put out!!! 🥳

If there was a "Love" button here or anything higher than "Like", will surely click it. Really love your videos. :)

Thanks for academic thinking 🎉😊

I enjoyed this 🙏

fly high as a kite is my new life motto-

Your videos are always amazing

Wonderful perspective ... congrats !

Love this video! Now I'm gonna let my mind fly high like a kkiiiiitttteee!! haha!

Great Stuff!

Love this vid

I REALLY REALLY love you so much thank u a lot.😭❤❤

Being 'creative' is simply a matter of learning to relax the mind. Bringing the conscious mind into equal relaxation with the subconscious mind...aka 'daydream' mode. When you come back, write it all down in short statements...in a journal. As time goes on, pay a visit to your journal of ideas. You'll be surprised how much we forget. Success is not part of this thought process. If success is your motivation, you're in the wrong frame of mind. The difference between the intellectual and the genius is that the intellectual rarely questions the university while the the genius never stops questioning the universe.

I really enjoyed this❤️🔥

I have no idea what are you saying, but I just can't stop watching

Well if you want to enable some creativity, it is good to see art from the past or something from the past and create something similar but different to it. Usually that helps with creativity.

This is really awesome. Really.

Great content _ thank you!

Super fun & informative your Excellency

Can't wait :) :) :)

Secrets to being highly creative and very happy: 1. Be brilliant - expand the depth and breadth and height of your genius in a multitude of ways 2. Pursue dozens of professional and artistic paths simultaneously - for decades 3. Use your brilliance to get the best nutrition for your brain and body 4. Give yourself the time to be brilliant and creative - for me, this meant relinquishing every "comfort" - except "makeup" and nice clothes. Since I wasn't flushing money down the toilet on trinkets and baubles, I had way more time than most people to develop skills and talents, more time for doing research, etc. 5. Do not waste time on drugs, booze, smoking, coffee, soda pop, junk food, toxic people, etc. 6. Focus your heart and mind on creating genius ways to improve the quality of life for those who want to live the best life possible.

Awesome episode

I smashed the like button for the algorithm.

00:14 "the Sistine Chapel..." Wow and guau. Is that the epitome of creativity? Thank you so much for the lesson. Now I can see quite clearly why mediocrity is the main component of the world's diet.

SUPER!!! Thank you very much ❤️!!!

thinking about what makes creativity it came apparent to me, new-found beauty will be seen only on the second look. (retrospect). total freedom to create is more difficult than within boundaries. I used to paint whit a simple goal, make it beautiful. I found out it is much more problematic to come up whit something than with limitations.

AMAZING 👏🌟🌟.

Nyc piece

This video was awesome 😎😎😎

It requires the application of the elements in the surrounding... It's more of an abstraction technique at randomness. That's what I presume.... Rest you clear me..😅😅

GREAT VIDEO!

Great video

Definitely flying like kite right na 😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love your channel. Keep up the good work

Beutiful video creation to give great info

That is a good question. Something I have been asking too. Over time my creativity has been changing in how I am being allowed to express it. Is that only because I wear glasses in an age when so many more people don't thanks to surgery for strabismus, contact lenses and things like Gimble Eye Clinic offering Lasix eye surgery so people don't have to wear them anymore? I don't know because as time goes by more and more I like writing and gardening when expressing my creativity. Instead of becoming more creative in the other arts. And so maybe I should set aside time in the morning only for all communication tasks limiting it to communicating with people I know well and writing fiction and poetry. Instead of spending too much time communicating with only acquaintances and other people on soical media too.

I started some game design story sums but I only get paid after I have finished the creative artwork, the game mechanics and programming which allot is automatic but takes long to get anything substantial done. I wish it was possible to finance upfront for arranging staff and offices and presentations you know.

can you please explain building bridges and dams like how do they move the waters

lol that kite moment caught me hella of guard
