How to Live More Creatively
1. Connecting with Your Source of Inspiration.
Where do you find your source of inspiration—in nature, meditation, spiritual reading, or something else? To renew your creative spirit, make it a point to connect with your source of inspiration regularly.
2. Finding Flow.
What brings you into a flow state in your own life when you’re so engaged in a process, that all ego separation disappears? Is it making art? Engaging in a creative hobby? Cooking? Gardening? Dancing, singing, playing a musical instrument, or something else? Whatever it is, make time in your life for more of this flow activity.
3. Reaching Out to Others.
Another part of living creatively is sharing our gifts with others.

Night, thank you so much for this post. While reading it, I just realized that I have been disconnected from myself and my creativity for a long looooong time due to working very hard on my career and transitioning to "adult life".
Before all this my source of inspiration were various kinds of things - books (especially self-development books), journaling, videos, dancing to music, drawing, meditating.
The state of flow I haven't experienced for a while. I remember having it the last time a long time ago, while playing guitar, running and sometimes while drawing.
As far as reaching out to others, I neglected this part very extremely too 😂 But I am missing the fun times with my friends, going out to just chill and relax. I will definitelly do something about this.
@Sleepwalkermw I'm so glad you liked the post and found it helpful! You got this, I'm rooting for you!

I was once very creative but have lost all my inspiration. Without inspiration there is no flow. Without flow there is nothing to share with others.
@Gettingbettertoday I'm sure you're still very creative. You just have to find inspiration again, what is it that inspired you before and what do you think will inspire you now?

In the past i had a drive to create. I didn't need motivation it came to me without effort.
I guess nothing motivates me anymore.
@Gettingbettertoday What do you think is standing in the way of your motivation?
@comfortableNight4463
Fear, I think all of my problems are caused by a deeply ingrained state of fear.
@Gettingbettertoday What is it that you fear?
Confirmation that I am as worthless as I think I am.
@Gettingbettertoday You aren't worthless. We are all worthy! You're amazing as you are!
