You’ve landed here because for some reason you believe you aren’t creative. Right?
So, when was the last time you picked up a paintbrush? Not the interior decorating sort. The ‘painting a picture’ sort!
What about writing a poem, story or song?
Was it before the kids were born? Before you got your first ‘proper job’? Before you left secondary school? Primary school? Playgroup???
When did you stop creating?
Were you caught by your parent, smearing paint onto paper and then the table with your fingers, scribbling on the all with your crayons, or mushing bananas into the carpet?
What about drawing your dream house or car and not worrying one jot about if anyone else liked it, until someone told you it was ‘rubbish’?
Was there a grumpy old teacher tutting over your shoulder at your life drawing technique?
Even if you can’t recall exactly what stopped you creating, right about now you may be thinking ‘I haven’t ever been able to draw or paint. I’m simply not creative!’.
But it’s simply untrue. You are. We all are!
To be creative is to be human
The absolute truth is, creativity is in us all. More importantly , creativity is what makes us human.
Without creativity we couldn’t imagine anything. We wouldn’t be able to solve problems, tell little white lies and big whoppers, make up stories or interpret language.
Stop – Press! Fun, creative hobbies have health benefits!
Even more importantly still, the creativity that’s in all of us, whether currently dormant or used daily, is a direct route to your health and wellbeing. So it’s worth exploring, rediscovering it and bringing it back into your everyday life. For good. Not just a one-off.
So what’s stopping you?
Are you worried about being out of practice? Worrying someone’s going to laugh at you? Scared o to death of making a mistake? Anxious just thinking about traditional art classes and group workshops?
Whatever is stopping you, there is a solution.
