Hi, it's Andy here and welcome to Radio Headspace and a Thursday morning.

So I don't know if you've ever noticed how creativity tends to change and evolve over

our lifetime.

I think for some of us, we tend to lose that sense of connection with our creative

expression.

And for others, it seems to sort of grow over time.

The thing I like about this is that it suggests that it's not something that's fixed,

that it's something that's quite elastic and that can sort of change.

But one thing I've noticed since having young children is that their sense of creative

thinking, imagination, freedom of mind, however you like to think about it, is really

something else.

There is definitely at a young age an ability to tap into that creative space that for a

lot of us as we get older, might become a little bit more difficult.

It doesn't mean it's not there, and we can talk about that.

But there is something that seems to come quite naturally to young children.

And I've found this with my son and on the surface, there are many things that he suggests.

Some of them are quite sort of frivolous, like daddy, but I've been thinking you should

grow your hair.

And I'm like, why?

And he said, boy, if you keep shaving your hair eventually, your brain is going to fall

out.

So there are things like that that definitely kind of is not really too much to take away
