In episode 22 we talk about all the ways in which we have been creative recently, and explore what it means to engage in different artforms and how it relates to our creativity as a whole.

Key Takeaways

1. We usually paint to express our creativity; therefore, it can sometimes feel like anything that is not painting, isn’t necessarily creative, or has no common thread with our main creative practice.
2. You will find that you’re the common thread! You are the thing that connects all your expressions of creativity whether visual or not.
3. Creativity can also look like; cooking with new ingredients or trying new recipes, running a fantasy RPG game, learning new subjects, making bracelets and comics.
4. Your additional creative pursuits don’t have to be healing, and if it does feel like it is therapeutic, that is a happy bonus!
5. Whether your final creative outcomes are enjoyed just by you, or an audience (like your family), your creativity is meeting a need.
6. We hypothesise that these needs are:

• Needing to feel connected and loved
• Needing to be seen or validating
• Needing to show up for self and not self-abandoning
