MYTHS WE TELL OURSELVES

 

"I'm not creative."

 

Engaging in art-making as a means of healing and self-exploration doesn't require any particular skill or knowledge. In fact, anyone can tap into the power of their creativity and intuition, regardless of their artistic abilities. Think about a room filled with kindergartners, their unfiltered enthusiasm and lack of self-doubt as they grab a marker and dive into their artwork. That innate sense of freedom and playfulness still resides within each of us, even if it's buried beneath layers of judgment and responsibilities.

 

"I'm not good at art."

​

Society often conditions us to believe that if we're not good at something, it's not worth our time. But that notion is simply untrue, especially when it comes to art-making. Science has proven that engaging in creative activities is incredibly beneficial for our well-being. The value lies not in the final product, but in the transformative journey that occurs within us while we create. It's about the connection to our inner selves and the sense of peace that ensues.

"I don't have enough experience."

​

Sometimes, the most profound creations emerge from a place of spontaneity and surrender. Allow your intuition to guide your hand, letting the colors and shapes take form without constraints. Embrace the freedom of letting go and trust in the process.
