Showing titles in Creativity

Most of us have always wanted to make something, but for any number of reasons haven't. Maybe you used to make things as a child, but stopped some time into adulthood. What is that something for you? Writing a book? Creating a blog? Learning photography? Starting a podcast? Launching a business? This book exists for only one reason, to help you create that something. We are all creative.

Let’s say you see a familiar musician from a globe-trotting, touring band hanging out at your local coffee shop, reading the newspaper and typing away on his laptop. This doesn’t look like a musician at work. He seems approachable enough, so you ask him what exactly he does all day. With a grin on his face, he admits the job might not be what you think.

For the first 10 years that I was a self-employed artist, I was not a mindful artist. I didn’t know what mindfulness was, and I just roamed the world on autopilot every day, like many of us do. I had great aspirations for my life and big dreams for my art career, but I was so caught up in the minutiae of everyday life that I never took the time to listen to myself and reflect inward. As a result of not giving myself enough time to focus on myself, I was always stressed, financially unstable, and emotionally and physically drained and was just never in a confident state of mind.

Perhaps in no other way do we more vibrantly reflect our creator than with our creativity. Whether through music, writing, baking, painting, posting on social media, dancing, or any other form of artistic expression within our grasp, we were created to create.
