5 Reasons to Get Creative in Your Daily Life!!
5 Reasons to Develop Your Creativity in Daily Life
You might think that creativity is something you can’t do. So many people say, ‘oh
I’m just not the creative type.’ But it is within everyone to be creative. And it’s not
just good for the soul to sketch or play with clay or embroider. Creativity comes in
all shapes and sizes, and it has some unexpected benefits for the rest of your life.
1. Creativity helps you solve problems
Fostering your creativity trains your brain to be more adaptable and flexible in
dealing with all sorts of problems. Not just how to get that pot completely balanced
and smooth, but how to solve that problem with a work project or a relationship or
a career issue.
Being creative takes you out of the linear thinking mode and the confines of regular
logic. Options stop being only black and white. Your mind can look at your problem
from many different angles and sees potential nuances that you otherwise might
miss.
2. Creativity can help you live longer
Surprising but true. Studies have shown that being creative can actually reduce your
mortality risk and add years to your life. Making, drawing, woodwork, knitting, or
painting all fire different neural pathways in your brain and help to reduce stress
and anxiety. Creativity slows cognitive aging and enables you to lead a happier,
more fulfilling life.
3. Creativity grows your confidence
Learning a creative skill takes application and lots of practice. You’ll make a lot of
mud pies and lopsided pots before you can create beautiful and functional
tableware. Mastering your chosen art form helps you develop confidence in your
abilities that will overflow into other areas of your life. As you overcome failure and
succeed in making beautiful things, you will see that persistence and optimism is the
way to success.
4. Creativity is immensely satisfying
There is nothing like starting with raw materials and being able to make something
unique from them. Whether you start with a lump of clay or you make your summer
wardrobe from scratch, you know you have the skills and creative spark to make
whatever you want. You aren’t dependent on stores and other people’s work. You
know you can start with zero skills and learn a completely new skill.
5. Creativity helps you express yourself
Making an artwork or a piece of writing or an item of clothing allows you to make
something that is completely yours. No one else can make the exact same thing that
you can.
Living a creative life can help you see that whatever you bring to the world is unique
and special.
