YOU ARE A CREATIVE GENIUS (EVEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW IT YET)
--
Let me share a bold statement with you: we’re all born geniuses…..and more specifically, creative geniuses. But unfortunately, so many people misunderstand the word creativity. I can’t tell you how many people say to me “Oh I’m not creative” or “I don’t have a single creative bone in my body.” But they’re comparing themselves to that elusive ‘creative genius’ archetype. Understanding that creativity helps us in every area of our lives will only improve our mental health, it makes us happier and more successful.
Here’s the thing — I’m not suggesting that everyone run out and buy a paint brush and a canvas. I don’t see everyone on the planet trying to become the next Picasso. What I do want the world to know is that there will always and forever be an eight year old in there somewhere that’s itching to get out and have some fun every now and then.
The question is: what activity (or activities) makes you ridiculously happy when you do it?
SOME #CREATIVEGENIUS EXAMPLES TO INSPIRE YOU
- cook something you’ve never tried before or share your fave kitchen hack
- build a robot

Wishing you stellar mental health + great creative inspiration, Wendy xo
