Creating Wellness

Positive psychology research has proven creativity is good for your wellbeing.
So why not sprinkle more creativity into your life?

 

Be curious
Don’t let your inner voice whisper you are not good enough. You don’t need to be an expert. Try something new, dance, paint, sing, write. Try anything, everything, it’s up to you.

Be loud
Do whatever you need to get in the zone. Put your favourite music on and have some fun. 

Be committed
Find time in your schedule where you won’t be interrupted and lock it in. It’s important to always make time for you.

Be still
Creativity can be difficult for the human mind and our impulse is to procrastinate - tidying, cleaning, checking emails, researching... be still, instead. Let your thoughts settle and ideas come to you.

Be present
Whatever you choose, be in the moment. Even if it’s not working, or you’re unsure of where it’s going, even if you’re uncomfortable. Stay with it - it may lead you right where you need to be. 

Be imaginative
Imagination is an essential component of a healthy, satisfying life and can have positive results in our daily routine. Try to encourage your mind to wander –  you may be surprised of the result.

Be you
Ignore what others think, focus on what engages and inspires you. If it’s not fun, don’t do it.

Be open
Don’t know what to create? Pick your favourite writer, artist, singer and emulate their style to get you started. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, be open and learn from others.

Be free
A creative mindset can be used in everything you do. Don’t limit yourself.

Creativity is a muscle that grows stronger with use. So, flex those imagination muscles and let your creativity run wild!
How will you be creative today?
