It is not just artists that need creativity and inspiration, it is something that`s essential for all of us. It might come as a surprise, but it is an actual fact- creativity has been scientifically recognized as a prerequisite for a healthy mental state and flourishing life.

But very often it doesn`t come some naturally and is not there in the moments we need it. So how do we find it? This is a something that I`m reflecting upon quite often and I can share three observations:

• The first of them is a quote from a very dear friend who helped me reconnect to the artist within and who once told me “Inspiration is like a diarrhea, it doesn`t come often, but when it does- it`s unstoppable”. This is super valid for me and I`ve learned that when it comes it is best to take advantage of it while it lasts. It was one of those instances of being taken over inspiration when the Christmas tree on the picture came to life.
• The second one is that the more opened to the world around me, the more inspired I get. New information, places, new activities, new experiences and even foods enrich us and help us develop and grow.
• I am sure that all of us have their own sources of creativity and inspiration deep within and we just need to tap into them by simply engaging in activities that we enjoy and getting in their flow. The art of going for what brings you joy can be an immense enabler of creativity if we allow it to.

With that being said- I am wishing you and myself a creative and inspired week ahead!
