Working visually is also an act of self-care for the following reasons:
For many of us, creativity is considered the territory of the artist. As such, it often appears out of reach, and can have a paralysing effect on us as adults. We may even say things like “I can’t draw, I’m not an artist”, or worse, “I can’t draw, I’m not creative”.
I think it’s important to ask ourselves what we mean by “creativity”, or what creativity means to us. We are all born creative, and our capacity to imagine is specific to us as human beings. We are wired to contribute ideas, solve problems, and create.
Here is what creativity means to me:
Creativity is personal power, unmitigated.
Creativity is innate to all of us. It is woven in the fabric of our being.
Creativity is a process. Some call it a dance.
Creativity is hands-on. To become manifest, it requires action.
Creativity is heart-based. To take creative action, we have to care.
Creativity is each of us: original, authentic, and expressed.
Creativity, then, is a game changer.
