In my journey as a designer at AngelChants Art & Design Services, I’ve come to realize that the most powerful tool in the creative process isn’t found in software or trends—it lies within the mind. Inspired by John Kehoe’s Mind Power into the 21st Century (10th Anniversary Edition), I’ve woven transformative mental principles into my design process. Today, I’d like to share how these mind-blowing concepts influence my workflow and help me deliver creative, purpose-driven design solutions.
Part 1: The Foundations of a Creative Mind
Before any design begins, there is a mindset—a foundation built on key concepts that reshape how we perceive reality and creativity. Kehoe’s ideas on Another View of Reality, Consciousness, Visualization, Seeding, Affirmations, Acknowledging, Intuition, Dreams, Concentration and Contemplation, Beliefs, and Imprinting have profoundly influenced my approach. Here’s how:
- Visualization & Seeding: I start each project by visualizing the final outcome. This mental seeding of ideas allows me to cultivate a clear image of what success looks like, guiding every design decision.
- Affirmations & Beliefs: Positive affirmations and a strong belief in the creative process help me overcome self-doubt. They reinforce my commitment to producing designs that are both beautiful and strategically sound.
- Intuition & Dreams: I trust my intuition and pay attention to the subtle hints that arise from my creative subconscious—often sparked by dreams and moments of deep contemplation. This inner guidance fuels innovation and fresh perspectives.
- Consciousness & Acknowledgment: By staying fully present and acknowledging every idea, even the unconventional ones, I ensure that my work is not only imaginative but also deeply connected to my clients’ objectives.
These mental practices are not merely abstract concepts; they form the bedrock of how I approach each design project, ensuring that creativity flows naturally and purposefully.
Part 2: Turning Mind Power into Creative Action
Building on these foundational principles, Kehoe’s actionable strategies—captured in chapters like No Problems Only Opportunities, Creativity, Prosperity Consciousness, and Training for the Magnificent Pay-Off—guide my workflow in tangible ways:
- No Problems, Only Opportunities: This mindset transforms challenges into creative opportunities. When faced with design hurdles, I see them as chances to innovate, rather than obstacles to progress.
- Creativity as a Catalyst: Embracing the inherent creativity within me, I explore bold ideas and experiment with new techniques, always striving to push the boundaries of conventional design.
- Prosperity Consciousness: By fostering a mindset of abundance, I approach each project with the confidence that success is not limited. This perspective encourages me to deliver value that resonates with my clients’ aspirations.
- Training for the Magnificent Pay-Off: Continuous learning and disciplined practice are crucial. I view every project as an opportunity to refine my skills, ensuring that every design not only meets but exceeds expectations.
Together, these principles guide me to craft designs that are not only visually engaging but also aligned with strategic business objectives. By integrating mind power into my creative process, I create solutions that drive brand loyalty, enhance product positioning, and ultimately, contribute to my clients’ success.
Conclusion
The power of the mind is a transformative force in the world of design. By embracing both the foundational practices and actionable strategies from John Kehoe’s work, I’ve built a design process that is as strategic as it is creative. This holistic approach ensures that every project is infused with clarity, purpose, and innovation.
At AngelChants Art & Design Services, I’m committed to helping clients achieve their goals by merging the art of design with the science of a focused, empowered mind. If you’re ready to experience the difference that mind power can make in your brand, let’s connect and create something extraordinary together.
