Creativity is the art of expression, a form of newness, and can be a revelation in opening your eyes to see your challenges through a different lens. So often, we don't use creativity for problem-solving because the process is obstructed by a mixture of emotions and overwhelmed thoughts. Whether you're experiencing emotional roadblocks or a series of distractions, innovatively addressing your challenges can become creative solutions to complex problems.
Regardless of life's challenges, lean into the discomfort through creative mediums (e.g., creative mind mapping, storybook journaling, creative journaling, drawing, music, etc.) to find new and alternative solutions to being, becoming, or understanding. It's your journey, so be innovative and create a method that will uplift you, elevate you, and allow yourself to be curious through the chaos and critically analyze and process life's twists and turns. Lean into the discontent of life's struggles and challenge your mindset creatively to redefine your challenges as opportunities. Challenge your mind not to give up but to level up - to learn the lesson(s) or identify solutions.
How you choose to show up for yourself is everything; your mindset matters. Live life today as tomorrow is not promised. There is always room for creativity and innovation in problem-solving, so lean into the journey and trust the process.
