paint a picture or write a screenplay or make a website or collage or even write a long journal entry. something original that requires some time and dedication. even if u feel like ur bad at it and it sucks. then u can look at it and think about how it would not exist without u

15-30 minutes a day creating something new

This is prolly a therapy practice or smthn and I don't know it lol BUT i think it's v refreshing and healing for the soul to spend 30 mins/day simply creating something from scratch. It can be anything, like: - A journal entry - Rough draft of a story you have rattling in your head - A silly doodle with no rhyme or reason - A random collage - Improv on the piano/guitar/instrument of choice - Embroidering on an old shirt you're trying to revive It's easy to get caught up in the gears of life and responsibility; getting into the small habit of creating something new is a good way to stay in touch with yourself and remember that you've got that spark in you <3

Using other forms of art as procrastination

I need to write. Sit down and write. AHH TOO STRESSFUL. So instead I’ll make a song or dumb graphic design or a craft. You (🧠) will never see it as good and worthwhile because you are, in fact, procrastinating your real work and passion BUT everybody else will think “wow, they are just always making something” it’s a win win

build a wacky tower of creative outlets

Pull a joni mitchell and engage in arts that differ from your primary to inform it at a later time. If you lean more toward visual arts try poetry, song writing, music making, acting/performances for the self, crochet, clay, claymation, videography, sound collection, whistling, discovering new sounds you can make etc. Often when i want to create but i feel tired or uninspired i try to use still life or my surroundings— BUT If thats boring i ask myself a question and let my train of thought ramble -> connecting that rambling to my pen on paper Honestly setting your inner critic to rest and creating things that are imperfect is actually incredible! More often than not letting first drafts be final for a moment allows you to discover what you crave to create.
