So many people don't believe in their own creative capacities. They think that they're not one of the "really" creative ones. But everyone is creative, and everyone has the capacity to be highly creative. In this episode I talk about how we define creativity, what creativity actually is, and what holds us back from seeing ourselves as creative or making time for creativity. My main point? That everyone is creative - it's an actual cognitive function and we all have it. YOU are creative. But creativity can be challenging, and in this episode I talk about why, and how we can work on facilitating our own creativity in our lives for healing and for happiness.
