Looking for more fabulous inspiration and motivation from Carina's Make and Design Podcast? Look no further if you are a creative, designer, or artist.
In Episode 463, Carina explores how everyday habits help foster creativity. She believes creativity isn’t just a talent; it’s a way of living. It’s about making time for yourself to relax and let ideas flow naturally.
Relaxation Boosts Creativity
Carina emphasizes the importance of taking time to unwind. For her, reading fiction has become a way to relax. She started reading regularly about five months ago and finds that it gives her mind a break, helping her creativity recharge.
Another surprising source of inspiration for Carina is watching Martha Cooks. The show’s humor and calm pace help her disconnect and relax, which allows her to think more creatively. It's a reminder that creativity can come from the most unexpected places.
The Importance of “Me Time”
Carina highlights that to be more creative, we must intentionally create space for ourselves. Whether it’s through reading, watching a show, or any activity that makes you laugh or relax, these moments allow your brain to recharge and spark new ideas.
Finding Your Creative Spark
The episode encourages you to discover your own “Mickey Mouse moment”—a simple activity that brings joy and helps you relax. This can be the key to unlocking your creativity in everyday life.
Carina’s message is simple: making time to relax is just as important for creativity as any formal practice. So, what helps you unwind and spark your creativity?
