E46. The Benefits of Seeing Creative Practice as Sacred

Most of us see creativity as something we do when we have the time for it. After all the things we have to do are done, then we'll have the space to really focus on our creative practice. But this perspective of how creativity fits into our lives is one of the major reasons we suffer from blocks. What if instead we saw creativity as integral to a healthy, happy life, something sacred that we always find time for? In this episode I talk about how elevating creative practice to something that is sacred (or at minimum, is a regular part of self-care much like a shower or a jog is) can help you find the space, and energy for it. The world will always have reasons why you shouldn't be putting the time into your creativity that you want to. If you see your creativity as a nonnegotiable in your own life, you'll find the confidence to prioritize it despite all the messaging from the world that your creative work has no value.
