“What keeps life fascinating is the constant creativity of the soul.” Deepak Chopra

In today’s podcast episode let’s talk about how creativity exists in life’s everyday moments. What if I told your that simply washing dishes by hand could spark your creativity ? Or going for a short 10 minute walk would be a way for you to find inspiration ? Without you realizing it, you are a full of creative ideas and when you stop trying to create, trying to be full of inspiration, and just let your mind wander, you will be amazed at how creative you really are ! When you allow yourself to simply stop and be present in life’s everyday moments or tasks, you will let open yourself up to new creative possibilities.

Opportunities to create art lie in life’s everyday moments. Being still and silent allows one to digest the world around them. I pay attention to what is around me and what is inside me–taking time to reflect, meditate and simply absorb my surroundings. But more importantly, being creative allows me to unplug from this crazy world and escape from all that is a not so happy time. Allow yourself the time, whether it is a minute, an hour or an entire day, to escape to a place inside yourself. This, to me, is what it is to live a creative life.
