Do you believe you’re creative?
If not, you’re in the right place.
If yes, you’re also in the right place because, guess what, you’re creative whether you believe it or not.
One thing I learned from interviewing hundreds of people about creativity in their lives is that most people who don’t think they are creative associate the term with the most traditional form of creative expression - art.
The second thing I learned from interviewing those individuals from countless backgrounds is that creativity is not synonymous with art - art is one single form of creativity.
To help clarify how you can empower your creativity, no matter what you believed before reading this blog, I have put together five main pillars to develop and enhance your creative skills.

Embrace Imperfection: Overcome the fear of making mistakes and understand that creativity thrives in imperfection.
Cultivate Curiosity: Nurture your creativity by staying curious, exploring new interests, and seeking knowledge.
Create a Creative Space: Designate a dedicated space, physical or mental, for your creative endeavors to help you focus and eliminate distractions.
Overcome Self-Doubt: Counteract negative self-talk with positive affirmations and understand that self-doubt is a natural part of the creative process.
Celebrate Your Unique Perspective: Embrace your individuality and let your unique experiences and perspective shine through in your creative work.
With 2024 on the horizon, now is the perfect time to take a creative inventory of your mindset and skillset to prepare you to flourish in the new year and beyond.
In my best-selling book “The Creativity Gene: 5 Universal Traits to Spark Success” I delve into the main aspects of our creative self-awareness along with societal expectations of creative expression to build a bridge between these two seemingly separate belief systems.
My hope for you is that you allow yourself the opportunity to accept your unique creativity and permit yourself to incorporate those elements into your everyday life!
Every day is a great day to create!
