In this episode, let's unlock the magic of small, manageable steps in building a daily creative practice. I share my morning ritual of dedicating just five minutes to art and how it’s been transformative in my life. As a busy mom, teacher, and business owner, finding time for creativity seemed impossible, but this tiny habit has ignited a powerful shift.

Join me as I recount my recent creative endeavors—from illustrating in my travel journal to working on an embroidery project—and how these moments of creativity spill over into the rest of my day, bringing more joy and energy. I'll also delve into the backdoor method I use to bypass the mental blocks that tell me it's not enough and prove that it truly is.

I encourage you to carve out just five minutes for your own creative practice, embrace your playful spirit, and witness how these small actions can lead to immense personal growth. Whether you've always dreamed of being an artist or simply wish to add a bit more beauty to your day, this episode is a heartfelt invitation to start small and dream big.

Join me in this exciting journey of fostering creativity through micro-habits and discover how you, too, can find calm and joy in everyday life.

Let's dive in and uncover the beauty of rest, creativity, and play together.

xoxo, Denise Christenson Rae
