Creativity is often confused and misunderstood. Although many of us reserve it for artists, musicians and "creatives", we end up ( sometimes knowingly and often unknowingly) putting it into a box and excluding ourselves from it completely. We have it in our minds that we are either a creative person or we are not.
The truth is, creativity is one of our higher needs as humans. It is what brings us from doing what we do just to check it off the list, to shifting our focus to how we choose to engage, show up, and see the world. Creativity is our unique expression. Our foot print. It is what we leave behind when we go- our legacy if you will.
It requires courage, bravery and ownership of who you are and why you are here. It is a way of exploring ourselves and the world around us while continually having a playful, inquisitive and teachable spirit.
The wonderful news is that if you are not creative and have no creativity in your life you can choose to start today!!! 2 years ago I had zero creativity in my life ( because "I wasn't good" at it and "wasn't that type of person" ) and now I know it contributes greatly to the level of energy, joy and fulfillment I have in my life. Follow me along my journey as I intentionally explore life with a creative lens and share my strategies, habits and perspectives!
