Staying Creative While Staying Home

With the current situation, many people find themselves spending more time at home than ever before. While this may seem like the perfect opportunity to tap into one’s creative side, it can also be challenging to stay inspired and motivated. Here are some tips to help you stay creative while staying home:

Set aside time for creativity: Whether it’s a few minutes or a few hours, make sure to set aside dedicated time for creative pursuits. This could be anything from painting, writing, or even learning a new skill.
Try something new: Staying creative can be as simple as trying something new. Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn how to play the guitar, or perhaps you’ve been curious about watercolor painting. Take this time to explore new creative outlets.
Create a dedicated workspace: Having a designated space for creativity can help you get into the right mindset. Whether it’s a desk, a corner of a room, or even a makeshift studio, having a space that is solely dedicated to creative pursuits can help you stay motivated.
Connect with other creatives: While we may not be able to physically connect with others right now, there are still ways to connect with other creatives. Join online communities, attend virtual workshops, and engage with others who share your passion for creativity.
Take breaks: It’s important to take breaks and step away from your creative pursuits from time to time. This can help you avoid burnout and keep your creativity fresh.

Staying creative while staying home may seem challenging, but it’s definitely achievable. By setting aside time, trying new things, creating a dedicated workspace, connecting with others, and taking breaks, you can stay motivated and inspired.

This is for you Mama!

As a mom, it can be especially challenging to find time for creative pursuits while staying at home. However, it’s important to remember that taking time for yourself and your passions can help you stay energized and fulfilled. Consider involving your children in your creative pursuits, whether it’s having them help you with a painting or teaching them a new skill. You can also try to find ways to incorporate creativity into your daily routine, such as writing in a journal during nap time or listening to music while cooking dinner. Remember, creativity can come in many forms and doesn’t always have to be a formal art form. Find what works for you and make time for it.
