We all have a notion of how creative we are. Most often we judge this by our physical skills: I can’t paint, I can’t write a story to save my life, I can’t sing a note, I’ll leave the creative stuff for someone else. Some of us though realize that creativity manifests itself in multiple dimensions of lives. We recognize it in the way we solve issues at work, the parties we throw for our kids, the way we manage our house hold needs and expenses.
We can all live creatively. How? By exercising our creativity muscles daily, even in the smallest of ways. Doing this gradually expands the range of possible outcomes and solutions in the decisions we make and the issues we face. It takes us out of our box of possibilities and increases our capacity for infusing joy, wonder, fulfilment and adventure into our lives and those around us.
Living creatively means “thinking outside the box”, the box of set options and futures that we live by. It allows us to realize that, in most situations, there are mutiple options that we can choose or create for ourselves. It prevents us from being “stuck” and allows us to live a life of meaning, passion, positivity and well-being. It allows us to inspire others and spreads joy and wonder where ever we go.
My intention for this blog is to inspire and nurture creativity and creative living. I will post information about creativity research, creativity exercises, real life examples of how people incorporate creativity into their daily lives and tips and tools to release your creative spirit.
I welcome contributions. Please send me any examples or stories about creativity or creative living, creativity exercises or articles.
I hope you enjoy this blog and find it informative and inspiring!
