How to Stay Creatively Inspired
Let’s pretend for a moment that your art, whether it’s writing, music, illustration, making jewelry, or something else entirely, is a plant. Like any plant, it needs a little bit of care in order to thrive — you usually can’t just throw a seed into your backyard and expect it to grow into a strong, beautiful tree. Plants, of course, need things like sunlight, water, and healthy soil to thrive. What about your art?
How to Create Rituals that Nourish Your Creativity
There’s a lot of talk in the wellness and personal development worlds about morning routines. While I don’t think there’s any one routine that works for everyone, I do think there is a lot of value in creating rituals that we can come back to each day. This is one way you can set up structure around your creativity — and even though artist-types like ourselves tend to resist it, structure can really help us be more creative.
How to Set Up a Creative Workspace
I have a theory that creative people tend to need a lot of space. Whether you have a collection of art supplies, musical instruments, poetry notebooks, or cool dance moves, you need some room to play. As artists, it’s important that we have space in our physical environments to explore and express our creativity.
