Life is meant to be vibrant, expressive, and full of creative joy!
However, sometimes we become so caught up in routines that we forget to infuse fun into our lives. When I rediscovered my mojo via creativity and painting, I unlocked a whole new world of colour, freedom, and joy. Here’s how you can do the same:
1. Play with Colour
Colour has a powerful way of shifting our energy. I’m all about energy! I started experimenting with bold and unexpected hues in my paintings, and suddenly, my creativity came alive. Try adding colourful flowers to your space or wearing a bright outfit—it’s a simple way to spark joy. Daily, I pick flowers from my yard or walk with my Charlie, it’s so effective…
2. Turn Everyday Activities into Art
Creativity isn’t just about painting or sculpting; it’s in everything! Cook a beautiful meal, rearrange your space, or journal with colourful pens. Make life an art form.
3. Break the Rules
Forget perfection! One of the most freeing things I did was let go of any ‘rules’ around creativity. Splash paint, mix patterns, and just have fun. Perfection kills creativity—so be bold and messy!
4. Say "Yes" to New Experiences
Join an art class, visit a gallery, or try something you’ve never done before. When I began embracing new experiences, my creativity flourished. The more you say yes, the more life surprises you.
Creativity should be fun! Permit yourself to explore, make mistakes, and, above all, enjoy the process.
