How’s your creativity faring? Have you been restoring and replenishing it? Just like our bodies, our creativity needs to be constantly nourished.
Earlier this month, I had the chance to drive up the Oregon Coast and bask in the raw beauty of its rugged cliffs, crashing surf, towering dunes and windswept beaches. At each turn in the road, I caught myself gasping at yet another marvelous view.
Most days, sunshine brought out the ocean’s palette of blue hues and showcased the landscape’s texture. Some mornings, fog blanketed the shore, softening edges, muting details, and awakening me to shapes and forms that go unnoticed on sunny days. I could feel my creativity savoring every morsel of inspiration. I came home replenished.
If you have the opportunity to get away on a vacation, a day trip or even for a few hours, I hope you do! If you can’t, then find other ways to nourish your creativity. Leaf through a book of photos of a dream destination. Or create something outside your primary creative expression. For example, if writing is your primary creative outlet, prepare a fun dessert, work in a garden or arrange a colorful bouquet.
What are you doing to restore and replenish YOUR creativity?
