The 5 C’s of CreatableMe focus on conscious creativity for both you and your little ones. These 5 C’s consist of consciousness, creativity, connection, communication, and character. Here we’re going to talk more about the second C, creativity. The word creativity envelopes a lot of different things. It’s about self-expression, passion, your dreams, and creating the life you desire. By encouraging creativity and self-expression in yourself and your children, a whole new world of possibilities opens up. What does creativity encompass, and why is it important? We’ll explain more below.

The Importance of Creativity and Self-Expression

Creativity is tied to your thoughts and imagination. You don’t have to be a talented painter or musician in order to be creative. When you pick out an outfit every day, you’re expressing yourself and showing your creativity. If you enjoy cooking, preparing a recipe, and adding a dash of something extra shows creativity. It’s everywhere around us every day; we just have to practice consciousness or mindful awareness to recognize it and appreciate it. Creativity is also directly linked with passion. When you love something, such as crafting or knitting, you become passionate about it, which, in turn, fuels more creativity. This is what inevitably drives people to succeed and achieve their desires.

Encouraging creativity in yourself and your children can be as simple as promoting self-expression. Once you become more mindful of yourself and your surroundings, you’ll find that creativity comes quite naturally, and it’s present in a lot of choices you make. You can help both you and your children by setting aside time each day to express yourself. This might be through writing, drawing, coloring, crafting, or something else. Also, encourage your children to express themselves with their words either through writing or talking to you about them. Remind them that it’s always important to be yourself, and that includes self-expression. Allow them to help you pick out their clothes each day or what book they want to read before bed. These small, creative choices and activities, will eventually help lead the way to success and assist with creating the life you want.
