This is Anne with your Coaching On The Go.

The last benefit I’m going to talk about here for you when you pursue creative opportunities, whether you consider yourself an artist or not, is that you develop a sense of fulfillment and purpose doing creative projects.

It helps you tap into your passion and intrinsic motivation.

It gives you a sense of fulfillment and joy outside of the demands of your business and normal life.

I don’t know what your creative project looks like.

It depends on your preferences and what you would find to be enjoyable, but I task you to pick up a material you’ve never tried before, to play like you did in kindergarten when they gave you perhaps a sheet of paper that was coated with water so you could drip paint into that water and watch the color move around.

It can renew your energy and your passion.

It sounds like it would be simple, but it’s that act of creating that reacquaints you with your natural resourcefulness and playfulness.

When you engage in creativity, it helps you in your life and business, to find deeper meaning.

If I tasked you today to write down ten things about yourself and create a self-portrait collage using only things you can find in your house, what would that do to your way of thinking?

Sometimes people think they have to go to the art supply store and find a bunch of things.

If you were tasked with a problem to solve and had a finite area to get materials and create, I wonder what you’d create.

I wonder what different aspects of your thinking would be opened by that simple task and simple play.

Being creative leads you to your authenticity and it cannimpact the way that you operate within your business and your life.

I’ve been talking with you about creating and leaving time every day or a few times a week to play like you used to when you were a child.

Find a coloring book, find a blank sheet of paper, hunt around your house for materials, see what you have, pull it all together, and in the next Coaching On The Go, I’m giving you an assignment to play with.

Have a beautiful day.
