This is your creative celebration. Let your light Shine.

Reflect and Revisit - Filling the Creative Well Blog Series

 

Today we take a gentle pause to look back. 

Reflection is a powerful part of our creative process, t is where we get to turn experience into insight, pages into patterns, and effort into wisdom.

Overall, what exercises were you able to do? What resonated with you and why?

What themes or images repeat in your work? Are there certain colors that keep showing up? Did anything surprise you? What felt hard, and what flowed easily?

What you can try

• Let yourself revisit one page that feels unfinished or sparks additional thought, what comes up for you?  
• Do you feel like adding to it, maybe a word comes up for you.  
• Follow the Threads - Add to it, write beside it, collage over it. Or just sit with it and notice what it taught you.

Reflection doesn’t have to be heavy. It’s simply noticing and acknowledging your growth.

Takeaway Nuggets:

1. Reflection turns your creative experience into meaningful growth.
2. Every page carries a lesson - if you pause to receive it.

Break the Rules - Filling the Creative Well - Blog Series

There are no rules in how you want to express yourself creatively and it is entirely up to you what mediums you use and the combinations.

A lot of us still carry around the negative talk of others, ‘don’t make a mess’, ‘stay within the line’, ‘you’ll never be’ – and fill in the gap for the fragments of negativity buried deep within needs to be excavated and released. Today, break them.

What you can try

• Choose one creative “rule” you usually follow and break it boldly. Let that spark a wild, free page.
• Paint off the edge. Use your non-dominant hand. Cut a hole in the paper. Tape something in backwards. Turn your journal upside down. Layer paint before it's dry. 
• Use a tool “incorrectly.” Delight in the freedom of doing things your own way. Think outside of the box.
• This exercise reminds you that you are in charge of your practice. You get to choose what works for you.

What rules have you been following without even noticing? Today, drop them. And see what happens.

Takeaway Nuggets:

1. Rule-breaking leads to creative liberation.
2. Art becomes more alive when we stop trying to “get it right.”
