Play at the Center of Creativity

Have you ever noticed, when you are creating, you enter a space of playfulness? We all know how to play, or at least we used to. As children, playing meant to be creative and being in the moment, with what was available to us. There was absolutely no agenda to get something right or to achieve a goal. Play was for the sake of playing. That is true the root of play. There is a special kind of joy in the core of each child’s play. They are simply immersed in the flow of life energy, improvising as they go.

As we grow older, we often become overloaded with pressures of achieving goals or meeting certain standards, whether its conditions set by the outside, or our own internal expectations. This can usually become our hindrance, which stands between us and play. In other words, between us and the creative force that moves through us.

The question I bring this week to reflect on - how do you return to play?

Play is also our gateway to true joy. And through this gateway, creativity arises effortlessly. Creations that feel alive and authentic, and infused with the energy of a timeless moment. LIke that favorite track of yours - no matter when you listen to it, it feels fresh and meaningful.

So if you ever find yourself stuck, whether it's finishing a track or another creative process - come back to play. Let go of the pressure to get it right, and reconnect to what once brought you that joyful spirit of play. What did you love to make or do as a child? To your surprise, this may not be so far from what it is you’re doing today - one just has to remember. Start there, and let joy lead the way into your creative flow.

That’s it for now ! I wish you an inspired flow for your week ahead.

Until next time!
