Dear Writer,
Living creatively is not reserved for painters, novelists, or musicians alone—it’s a lifestyle choice available to anyone willing to embrace their innate curiosity and transform it into a driving force. If you think about it, choosing to live creatively is like a golden road in your spiritual journey. But how lucky are you if you already innately have the call to create? Don't take this gift for granted - it can be your greatest asset.
The Essence of a Creative Life
Living a creative life means viewing every day as a canvas, ready to be filled with the experiments of your imagination. It's about seeing possibilities where others see dead ends. It's choosing to explore over stagnating, to create over consuming. This lifestyle doesn't require grand gestures, but rather, the courage to make small, consistent choices that honor your inner creativity. For us writers, it is about reframing that writing is a hard dreadful process to writing is my form of creating and connecting to the divine spirit inside me. Like I said - this can be your greatest asset.
The Health Benefits of Creativity
And why wouldn't we choose to nurture the creative writing skill we have been given? Scientifically, choosing a creative lifestyle offers profound health benefits. Engaging in creative activities has been shown to decrease anxiety, stress, and mood disturbances. It acts like a balm for the mind, offering a form of meditation that clears the clutter of daily stress and aligns you with your deeper self. Creativity increases happiness and, in many cases, can lead to a state of flow—the ultimate alignment between challenge and skill, where time seems to vanish! I love this!
From Fear to Curiosity
One of the most transformative aspects of living creatively is the reframing of fear. Fear is a common companion in our journeys, often deterring us from leaping into unknown territories of our potential. However, when we reframe fear as curiosity, we unlock a powerful catalyst for change. Curiosity drives us to explore, to learn, and to grow. It turns the paralyzing question of "What if I fail?" into "What if I don’t?" and more importantly, "What if I fly?"
The Call to Create
To live creatively is to choose a life of creation over consumption. It's about making something where there was nothing, learning to trust your instincts, and valuing the process over the product. When you commit to living creatively, you commit to a life of discovery. You choose to transform your life experiences, joys, challenges, and sorrows, into something beautiful.
Why Go For It?
Why choose a creative life? Because creativity is not merely a skill, but a way of understanding the world. It enriches our lives and provides new perspectives and solutions to problems as old as time itself. More so, creativity is contagious—it inspires and uplifts others, sparking further creativity in ways we might never fully comprehend.
