Creativity is a lifestyle for me, not an action. This month I'm exploring twenty-six quirky ways I keep my creativity flowing.
Choose something and then
make it. There are literally millions of things that can be physically made: A meal, a bed, a wig, a piece of art, a tree house, Etc... There are also nearly innumerable concepts you can
make: memories, decisions, challenges, goals, attitude adjustments, and the list goes on...
On any given day I have the honor to make and create and use my imagination to turn the common into the uncommon. Sometimes I make memories by stopping what I'm doing and challenging my little brother to a round of dominoes. Sometimes I choose to step outside of my comfort zone and make a step in my personal development by doing something that freaks me out. Sometimes I decide to make a special meal for my family. Other times I want to make a difference in someone's life.
In March I spent a lot of time making art with my hands, instead of with just words. I worked on a mosaic, colored pictures, painted, created things out of clay, and stretched my art-challenged (other than words) self. I did all of this because I'd been feeling uncreative and I wanted to revamp that part of my life. And guess what? It worked.
