Summary
Welcome to episode 78 of The Mindful Kind podcast about creativity and mindfulness!
Here are a few of my favourite creative activities:
Mindful colouring: Using the app called "Recolour"
Photography: Engage with the world around you and perhaps, even collect props for photo styling, such as leaves and op-shop items! If you would like to follow me on Instagram, you can find me @rachaelkable
Creative thinking and problem-solving: Create a date day, make a new dinner, buy something interesting or put together a new outfit!
Top 5 tips for creativity:
1 // Let go of judgement
2 // Be inspired by other people, rather than making comparisons
3 // Meditate when you're feeling stuck
4 // Teach yourself to perceive creativity as an opportunity, or an adventure
5 // Engage in new activities and different experiences mindfully
Books I've loved about creativity: "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert and "Craft for the Soul" by Pip Lincolne.
You can find the Creative Summit which will run from 22nd May - 24th May here: https://summit.creativityexperts.com/invite-rachaelkable
I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome to the mindful kind. |
| 0:07.5 | I'm your host, Rachel Cable, and I'm here to share insights into my mindfulness journey |
| 0:12.3 | and inspire you to create your own. |
| 0:14.9 | Each week, this podcast will bring fresh and exciting news about mindfulness, |
| 0:19.7 | from my personal experiences to useful tools and different |

| 0:29.6 | Hello and welcome to episode 78 of the Mindful Kind podcast. I'm very excited to be talking all about creativity for this |
| 0:40.0 | episode because I've really been exploring my creative side lately and I've discovered quite a few |
| 0:45.4 | useful tools and resources you can try, even if you don't see yourself as a particularly |
| 0:50.3 | creative person. Even though it's a fun topic, I think it's a really important one too, |
| 0:55.3 | because creative activities are such incredible opportunities to practice mindfulness. And I've |
| 1:01.7 | mentioned before about how I never used to see myself as a creative person, so I'm sure that if I can find |
| 1:07.7 | a passion for being more creative than you can too. In saying that, |
| 1:12.5 | I think many of us are actually more creative than we give ourselves credit for. I was interviewed |
| 1:17.7 | recently for a creativity summit and we were talking about creativity and how there's a bit of |
| 1:22.7 | a misunderstanding about who is or isn't creative. Something I've realised over the last few years is how creative I |
| 1:30.5 | actually am, even though I spent years believing I wasn't just because I didn't draw or paint. |
| 1:37.2 | However, I do write creatively. I problem solve in creative ways. I'm creative by planning holidays. |
| 1:45.7 | I'm creative with my photography. I'm creative with my photography. |
| 1:52.0 | I played piano and clarinet for years and choreographed my own dances and went to many dance competitions. When I started to think about it, I realized I'm actually creative in quite a few different |
| 1:57.9 | ways. Anyway, I wanted to share some of my favourite creative activities |
