AT A GLANCE
Being creative fosters health, vitality, and purpose in you and in others around you. Being more creative with your learning and lifestyle choices, and exploring new habits and skills that foster your vitality, and performance are important yet often overlooked forms of creative expression. Creating better, more skillful and resilient versions of ourselves is a wonderful and uniquely fulfilling pursuit. This is especially true when we have the right tools and support systems. It also serves to inspire others around you to do similarly. In doing so, it adds significantly to your sense of accomplishment, purpose, and contribution.
Do not underestimate the value and positive influence of making time to be creative, whether it be in your learning and self-development, problem solving, physical activity and movement, cooking and meal preparation, design work, coloring, painting, writing, music, dance, or how you express appreciation, gratitude, love, or respect for others.
Variety truly is the spice of life and being creative with how you invest your attention and energies is a great way to ensure you experience more variety. Many studies point to the fact that we are often happiest and feeling most satisfied when we are solving problems creatively. What problem could be more rewarding to solve than how to be better, preserve your vitality and advance your well-being, while inspiring those you love and care about to join you!
