Hey there, and welcome to Wake Me Up.

I'm so glad to have you here today because we're talking about one of my favorite topics this week.

Creativity. You see, creativity is an important part of our lives, but many of us don't feel that we have the time or energy to express ourselves creatively in the way that we'd hope.

Or we may feel stuck and uninspired when we're trying to complete a project,

whether it's for work or for pleasure.

The truth is, self-doubt is often the most common thing holding us back from being creative.

It's natural to have some days that lack inspiration and focus, but there are some worthwhile

habits we can adopt to spark inspiration and creativity anytime. Today's episode will inspire you to let go of self-doubt and tap into your creative side.

But before we dive in, just pause for one moment.

Allow yourself a second of quiet and relaxation.

soften your face and your shoulders.

And let go of any tension that you're holding on to.

And just try to visualize yourself as a little kid, maybe five or six years old.

What do you look like?

Your hair, your eyes, your hands?

What are you wearing?

Imagine? Imagine yourself sitting and playing with the toys that you remember enjoying the most. What did it feel like as five-year-old you to use your imagination to play and create without boundaries.

Were you making judgments?

Were you worried about mistakes?

There's something really freeing in that childhood approach.
