We all need to express ourselves, some more than others, and in different ways. Many people thing of being creative as creating art, or doing crafts. But it can be simpler things too:
- Arranging flowers
- Decorating a room
- Choosing how you dress
- How you style your hair
Those are all ways to bring creativity into your everyday life. But you’ll also need a regular injection of creating through art or crafts:
- Painting
- Drawing
- Photography
- Knitting
- Sewing
- etc.
Doing this gives us a break from the mundane, and can be a great source of motivation and confidence.
If you dare to share your creations with others, the positive feedback you get can send you to the Moon, emotionally. It will spur you on to create more, keep you motivated, and grow your confidence a lot faster than any self help book. Just make sure you share it with people who support you, and not the trolls that are out there.
If you share your creations on a regular basis, like I do. It can keep you afloat, even if other areas of your life are difficult. I’ve lived with chronic pain the last 20 some years, and it’s helped me a lot.
If you’re up for it, I have something fun coming up on Wednesday (Oct 1) that you might want to get in on. The October Creativity Challenge is coming back again. We’ll have you creating and sharing every day, and it will be loads of fun. All the suggestions you get in the emails are for activities that are easy, quick, and don’t cost you a dime.
