Your painting does not have to be the best in the world, just express your feelings through creative thinking. Enjoy the experience, from you holding the brush to dipping it in that colour and just blending the different colours on paper, you will notice how light you feel inside. Just get creative with paint, you could paint your room if that's what will help you explore your creativity or just paint your nails as a lady. Just get creative with the paint.

So many persons feel comfortable expressing themselves with words, they just say it for everyone to hear and understand how they feel. If you enjoy expressing yourself with words it's a good way to express your creativity, just write those words down and let it out there for people to read. You know, it's a thing of joy knowing someone read your stuff and actually like it.

Write poems if that's what you are good at, just express your creativity with words, it will make you happy and even make your readers more happy.

Explore Your Creative Side With Baking

Quick short story, I tried making cupcakes one time, everything was really nice from the beginning, I mixed everything so well, like, the right amount of everything, but then, I successfully dry the whole thing 🤦🏽🤦🏽 the cupcakes were so dry and strong but I sat down and ate all of it 😂😂. Well, I was not experienced with the whole thing then, but I just needed to try out something new and it was nice. Get creative with baking, it doesn't have to be the best but just have fun, even though my cupcake wasn't what I expected, I was so happy I started and finish it, and I was so happy eating my strong dried cupcakes and drinking cold yoghurt with it. Happiness is free, we just have to do things that will help us always stay happy.

Express Your Creativity By Reading

One thing that inspires me the most is reading. Reading is a very lovely way to express your creativity. Books have a way of inspiring us and motivating us so we can see life differently. If you want to explore a path of creativity, books are definitely the best tools to guide you on that path. When you read, you open your mind to new ideas and you might even get some creative ideas in the process.

Listen To Music

I think this post wouldn't be complete if I don't add this. I have mad love for music and if I'm allowed to use this term, I'd say, Music Saved Me I guess I will have to explain that in another post. How can music help you express your creativity is what you are thinking right now right? Well, it calms you down, you need to be calm enough to better tap into your creative side. The best ideas come to you when you are relax and focused, music can help you feel relax. I do almost everything with the music playing, and it feels good.
