A romantic notion of this poor soul waiting for inspiration to strike seems so appealing, doesn't it?

We imagine creative geniuses sitting in cafes, staring wistfully out of rain-spattered windows until a sudden bolt of divine inspiration hits them.

Then, effortlessly, masterpieces flow from their fingertips. It’s a nice story.

But that's just it. Its just a story.

We all know we should embrace self care for our emotional and physical wellbeing. Most of us know the mental wellness benefits a consistent creative practice holds. We also know the challenges of maintaining a consistent creative practice, I've come to learn that creativity shouldn’t just be about waiting for that magical moment of inspiration. Instead, it should be cultivated as a habit. It's a daily practice you nurture, regardless of your day to day mood.
