If you’re human, you’re creative.

I had a friend come to me once because she was stressing about the fact that she didn’t feel like she was creative. I had a feeling she was stressed because she *was* creative… and just didn’t know how to use her creativity— and what to apply it toward.⁣

⁣1. It made me smile because I believe so. much. in self expression and obviously creativity is such a beautiful extension of our selves. Of bringing inner worlds to life.⁣
⁣2. Creativity is definitely a basic human need and wiring— and we are all born for it in one way or another! So I will always be an advocate🤍

Here’s what I’d say if you’re struggling like my friend:⁣
Start creating. Try anything that intrigues you. And if you end up liking something, ask questions to those who know more about it than you. If you don’t feel connected to it, try something else. Creativity is definitely a muscle that you just have to keep flexing. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. And the more you get to know it, the more you fall in love.⁣

One piece of creativity that I think gets wildly overlooked is lifestyle. I love making art out of life and my days just as much as I do something tangible that you can see like a photo or a story to read. So I challenge you to try that. How can you get creative with your days this week? Where can you go? What can you try? Who can you meet? What can you talk about? Try something new and let it teach you, inform you, enlighten you. Creativity at its finest.⁣
Let me know how it goes. :)
