#66 - The importance of art and creativity in our lives
Are you prioritising art and your creativity? Art has a unique way of shifting our energy and opening us up to new ideas and possibilities. It helps connects us to ourselves, others, and the world around us. It can help elevate our energy, and therefore help elevate our lives.
Recently, I took an afternoon off to spend time with a friend visiting Melbourne. We visited an art exhibition by Marshmallow Laser Feast and the National Gallery of Victoria.
I was reading a pertinent part of the book by Laura Lynn Jackson I'm currently engrossed in called "Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe." This day was a turning point for me, as it made me realise the significance of prioritising art in my life.
In this episode I also reflect on my own creative process and struggles.
It's time for us all to embrace imperfection and get joy and pleasure from the process of creating - and enjoy other's creations. The world will be a better place for it.
