18 ways to discover more creativity in your daily living

When it comes to creative pursuits, this is something we usually get to once we’ve ticked off all the ‘essential’ tasks first. But let me tell you, the winding trail of to-do’s is a never ending one. If we tell ourselves we need to do all the important things first, we’ll probably never begin!

And yet creativity is something that fills the soul like no other. It’s a messy, beautiful and satisfying affair that has the ability to unwind and reset our priorities. A graceful reminder that setting our hearts to something slow and tactile is an important one.

Discover curiosity!
