6 Steps to Unleash Your Inner Creativity
Let’s face it. Most of us do not yet have the benefit to have won our freedom. Most of us still do 9 to 5 jobs and sometimes it’s not picture perfect. One of the biggest side effects I experienced working a repeating job every single day is loss of creativity. This however scared me to death. Since being in elementary school creativity was one of the facts I was most complimented for, but one day..I noticed the ideas were not there, and if they came up, they were dull and not colourful in my head.
I took a step back to get better understanding of why this is happening and it rang a bell…very loudly. I realised, we, the ones spending most part of our lives at a job (maybe not the dream one) tend to miss the simple things that make us who we are.

Keep moving.
Sports in any shape or form boost our serotonin levels. Makes our brains 🧠 healthier and our minds clearer. When animals are afraid, they start moving. Did you ever see a crazy cat making zoomies? They use this habit when they feel fear, anxiety or danger. By moving your body, you release the bad energy and increase dopamine levels in your body.
You are who you stay with.
Surround yourself with quality people, people that you learn something from or people you admire for their perspective in life. We are social creatures and need to interact with one another. The people we stay around the most are the ones we tend to be more alike. Look around, evaluate your group of friends and
Change is difficult, but adding a simple target to reach each week or month will get you closer to inner peace.
Putting all together, you can do what you enjoy, add a good habit to follow in your routine and watch your inspiration flourish.
Creativity is trained and shall not be taken for granted.
