We’re all busy people. Work, groceries, household chores, hanging out with friends and loved ones—activities that leave us little time for artistry. And without a creative outlet, we’re more likely to feel dead inside and go cuckoo.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Just because you don’t regularly mix paints on a wooden palette or sit behind a pottery wheel, doesn’t mean you don’t have any opportunities to be creative.
You can add a dash of creativity in almost anything.
How you greet your co-workers (try a different language or put on a silly voice). How you walk up a flight of stairs (mix up the number of steps you take in one stride). How you go home from work (take a detour or different mode of transport). How you use brief moments of dead time (daydream while looking at the sky). How you peel a banana (bite it through and spit out the skin, or, you know, don’t).
Life is a playground. Everything can be done in a playful and creative way. And if you’re not already treating things as a jungle gym or swing set, you’re missing out.
Come and play. All the cool kids are doing it.
