Practices

01 Always Be Learning & Learn by Doing

A great way to progress in your creative development is to learn something that deepens or shifts your perspective. And the quickest way to learn is by actually trying something. Experience beats theory almost every time.

02 Develop Your Voice

One of the great things about creativity is that it can’t be measured, it can only be discovered through its expression. Which means that finding what you want to say and how you want to say it are perhaps the two most important factors in your creative success. You speak true when you speak you.

03 Challenge Your Ideas

Conviction is a wonderful thing and can help you persevere in the face of obstacles. But stopping to ask yourself if there might be another approach that you hadn’t considered before not only keeps you honest, it can lead to new and interesting places.

04 Speak Your Truth, Kindly

Self-expression and creativity go hand in hand. Relating your experience and point of view is essential to keeping the conversation real and genuine, so long as we remember that others may have different experiences and perspective that are just as real and just as true.

05 Aim For Good

The pursuit of excellence is a noble thing, but holding yourself to an unreasonable standard can actually stunt creativity. By seeking to improve rather than demanding perfection, you’ll not only find more interesting destinations, you’ll better enjoy the journey along the way.

06 Pursue Your Dreams & Have A Plan

There’s a common misconception that truly creative people can’t be practical as well. But having a dream is not the same thing as spending your life daydreaming. A plan is like a map, it won’t guarantee you’ll reach your destination, but it will point you in the right direction.

07 Never Stop Creating

If you are drawn to create—visually or musically, through words or through movement—you know that the act of creating is its own reward. If you can make a career of it, so much the better. But even if it never becomes something you do for a living, it can always be something you do for life.
