Repetition doesn't sound very creative or appear similar to Wonder. In fact, repetition supports creativity in Wonder in unexpected ways.
3 Ways Repetition Supports Creativity and Wonder:
Repetition of creative practices leads to the development of creative style/vision: You've probably heard of the 10k hours rule, which essentially states that you need a lot of reps before you master a skill. However, there's more to this rule than simply putting in the time. Repetition of creative practices is how we open ourselves to the world of possibility that exists only for those who gain expertise. Every repetition adds breadth to our perspective of what is possible to create. By some combination of intention and intuition, repetition reveals our creative vision.
Repetition creates opportunities for Wonder: In creative action, the outcome is hardly ever "exactly" the same despite how many repetitions you've completed. The subtle differences between our attempts elicit questions about possibility, "I wonder what would happen if..." Wonder, if you recall, is the awareness and exploration of meaningful possibility.
Repetition challenges our beliefs about what we 'think' we know: Attempting repetition usually produces varied results, and things don't always turn out as expected. This can cause frustration, but it's a transformative process that enhances our creativity as we wrestle with questions like, 'Why did that happen?' or 'What makes this outcome so variable?' Repetition is a process of reduction and expansion. By repeating a practice over and over, we learn to eliminate extra steps and add new steps to enhance our performance. These changes lead a to new appreciation for what we 'knew' versus what we 'know'.
I hope these explanations provide some motivation! Repetition is a battle that requires discipline and grit. Knowing the unseen benefits helps steel our resolve and preserve good habits. Keep at it!
