Invest in Your Creativity

Creativity and you

Creativity is a way to express yourself.

It is a form of play. Creativity inspires us. It’s the basis of innovation.

For some, it is a way of being.

Creativity may be expressed as a form of art.

Expression of Creativity

Creativity may be expressed as:

  • Drawing
  • Painting
  • Sculpture
  • Collage
  • Dance
  • Theater
  • Music
  • Cooking
  • Movement
  • Sewing
  • Business ideas
  • Your home or environment
  • Design and in a thousand other ways…

 Creativity is not just for kids

Our creativity doesn’t need to diminish as we get older.

“Creativity is not just for artists. It’s for businesspeople looking for a new way to close a sale; it’s for engineers trying to solve a problem; it’s for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way.”–Twyla Tharp

Sometimes our creativity is sparked when we are out in nature, driving or taking a shower.

We can set time aside to create something new or come up with new ideas for business or improving an area of our life.

Benefits of Creativity

There are many benefits of creativity.  Sylvia Duckworth expresses these nicely in this picture below.

 

What does investing in your creativity do for your life?

Creative Retreat

Possibility

I’m investing in my creativity.

I’m attending the Creative Business Retreat by the Sea hosted by Laura West, Center of Joyful Business.

I’ve attended this event a few times over the years.

I always learn something new.

It’s an event where I can take time for me and take note of my growth.

The pace of the days are slower than my normal day to day.

There’s always interesting women who attend the event to learn from.

It’s also at one of my favorite places…the beach!

There is nothing like looking out at the sea to gain perspective.

A Gift to Myself

The ocean helps opens me up to new possibilities.

It’s a place where I can take some time to play, rest, create and just be.

I look at this event as an awesome present that I give to myself.

I’m excited to see what new ideas come to me and what I may create!

This is me a couple years ago at this event on the beach.

Invest in Your Body

   Your Physical Self

It’s easy to get caught up in our busy lives and take our body for granted.

I’ve been guilty of this.

  • Not eating quality food
    • living on coffee & carbs
  • Pushing myself to get something done
  • Not getting adequate sleep
  • Not moving or exercising much

I wasn’t taking the best care of my body.

I decided to do something about it.

I signed up for a nutrition program.  I’ve lost 23 lbs so far.

I have some good days and some not so good days.

I feel better and I’m learning a lot.

How well do you take care of your body?

You don’t have to spend money to invest in your body & health.

Taking care of your inside

A shift in mindset and some small changes may be all you need.

  • Make healthy food choices
  • Drink water avoid sugary drinks
  • Take a daily multi-vitamin
  • Rest and relax
  • Move your body
  • Get adequate sleep
  • Schedule and go to your annual physical with your doctor
    • Learn your numbers: Blood pressure, cholesterol etc..
  • Pay Attention to how you feel in your body
    • Are there places in your body where you feel tension
  • Breathe deeply & purposely a couple times a day

Taking care of your outside

  • Take care of your appearance
  • Treat yourself to a new haircut
  • Wear clothes that make you feel good & look good
  • Paint your nails or get a manicure
  • Wear colors
  • Take an extended shower or get a massage

When you make small changes to invest in your health, you feel better.

Ripple Effect of Feeling Better

When you feel better, you may:

  • Have more energy
  • Feel more confident
  • Feel more attractive
  • Be more positive
  • Take on new opportunities
