Unleashing Your Creativity: A Source of Joy and Fulfillment

In a world filled with deadlines, obligations, and screens, it's easy to lose touch with that part of us that loves to create! Being creative was always took us to another realm when we were growing up. We were lost a world we created and our toys became 'alive'. I used to love drawing comics and experiencing my characters with others. So how do we unlock this creative potential and embrace the journey towards a more inspired existence?

1. Embrace Curiosity: At the heart of creativity lies curiosity—the relentless pursuit of new ideas, experiences, and perspectives. Children are so fascinated by the most simplest things, because they are ever present in the moment. Allow yourself to wander, to question, and to marvel at the world around you. By staying curious, you invite inspiration to flow freely into your life.
   

2. Make Time for Creativity: Carve out dedicated time for creativity. Whether it's a few minutes each day or a longer block of time each week, prioritise creative pursuits. Some of you reading this used to be quite artistic, but you dont have the time for that anymore ... or so it seems. Give yourself permission and time to play, to experiment, and to make mistakes along the way.
   

3. Embrace Failure: Creativity is not about perfection; it's about the willingness to try and fail and try again. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn and grow. Don't compare yourselve to the many who are experts in the field you want to dabble in! Just go for it!
   

4. Surround Yourself with Inspiration: Surround yourself with art, music, literature, and nature. Immerse yourself in environments that fuel your imagination and draw inspiration from the beauty of the world and the creativity of others.
   

5. Share Your Creativity: Finally, share your work with others, whether it's through collaboration, feedback, or simply sharing your creations with the world. Allow yourself to be seen and heard, to be encouraged and in hope to inspire and uplift others.
   

Unlocking your creative potential is not just about making art—it's about embracing a way of being that brings joy and fulfillment to every aspect of your life. By cultivating curiosity, making time for creativity, embracing failure, surrounding yourself with inspiration and sharing your creativity, you could end up with a passion you never knew you had!
