What is Creative Living?
Creative living can be focusing on your art, crafts and projects to become a full time artist but that is just on the surface. Creative Living is also a way of being. It’s how you prioritize creativity, playfulness, and curiosity in your day to day.
How to start living a creative life?
The first place you can start is by prioritizing play and joy. What is something you enjoy doing? Start doing more of that in your days and weeks. Next, think about what you use to play like as a child. Did you love painting, making bracelets, writing, building things, get outside, colouring etc. Think back to those days in elementary school where you just had play time. Allow yourself as an adult to start playing again. It will feel weird and the capitalistic structures you have adopted will not like playing. It will feel uncomfortable at first but the more you do it the easier it will get. Now go do something creative today!
