Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
My guest for this episode was Natalia Walker, founder of Inner Creative.
Here’s what I learned from our conversation:
- The truth: Every one of us is creative (not just children)!
- How to put less pressure on ourselves by changing our expectations of what being creative looks like.
- Natalia’s Creativity Mantra: “I’m open and willing to make mistakes. It doesn’t have to be perfect. I just have to show up and give it a go.”
- How to feel safe when putting your work out there: the importance of boundaries and containers.
Self-reflection prompts to guide your creative journey:
- What space am I creating from: to please myself or to please others?
- What identity labels am I putting on myself?
- What do I love doing?
- When does time slow down?
- What makes me feel energized?
- How creativity helps you tap into your intuition and boost self-acceptance.
- Creativity is a muscle: the more we practise, the better we get.
- Creativity builds self-trust and the ability to let go.
- How to overcome inertia and get into the flow state.
- Small actions consistently taken over time always win over doing something big but sporadically.
- When we take time out for ourselves to do things that bring us joy, we give others permission to do the same.
