When you’re on vacation or you visit a scenic spot, you witness a beautiful snapshot before you. What do you do? When encountering a beautiful scene, we often whip out our phone to snap a photo of the moment because we do not want to forget this moment! But, what actually happens when we take a photo?

This week, we have 2 reminders:
1. Remember to back up your photos
2. Remember to put the phone down and experience the moment.

Ever start something new with so much passion and motivation to complete, but then you hit a rut and one way or another it’s left unfinished?

The first time you drop a project may not feel bothersome. You pick up something else instead. However, it’s after the fifth or sixth or twentieth project that you drop when it feels distressing and demotivating.

There are many strategies for tackling a project from start to finish. This week, let’s look at a couple of strategies that you can use this week to get that abandoned project up and off the ground again.

Do you have bursts of creative energy that fizzle out with time? You can’t find the right medium to channel your creativity, or you can channel your creativity but quickly lose patience and drop it soon after you start.

Or, on the other hand, you have the skills. You know you can write stories or edit videos; you know you can be creative. But, no matter how passionate you are about your creativity, you just struggle to create.

This week, let’s look at how to maintain your creative energy and bring it to life, consistently.

Creativity is not only art, expression, and stories; creativity is also problem-solving, new original ideas, and thinking outside the box. But, sometimes, we fall into the misbelief that because we are not good at painting, sculpting, or writing, we must not be good at creativity.

While we value creativity across history and cultures, we sometimes find it hard to value our own creativity in the present moment. It leads our creativity to shut down, and we get stuck.

Whether you’re stuck in a creative rut, feel uninspired, or don’t know how to let your creativity manifest, let’s problem-solve our difficulties and foster our creativity.

This week’s newsletter is meant to do two things.

1 – Challenge the belief that we either have the creative gene/spark….or we don’t. What if every one of us is creative and we only need to tap into it?

2 – Share the benefits of creativity to nourish our own mental health.
