The creativity in everything we do

Today I wanted to chat about creativity & how we can often beat ourselves up about not being “creative enough”. What does enough mean anyway?

“Creativity is a magical power we each hold within us. Even when you create something small, give yourself a pat on the back as you have been brave enough to create something for yourself or others. That in itself is a gift to the world and quite extraordinary.”
– From my book Power Up Your Creativity

For me being a creative person isn’t just about my job & my work output. It’s in the small things too. Taking a photo of a lovely flower I’ve spotted. Coming up with a task to keep my little one occupied. Making a yummy lunch.

Our creativity & our skills show up in the everyday too, so here is your reminder to not be so hard on yourself today & take joy in the little pieces we can find.

For me right now that means finally decorating my garden space which has been an ongoing project for some time. You can follow me over on @rachaeltaylorhome to read about all of the drama!

If you are looking for something to give you a creative boost this summer then look no further than the Make it in Design Summer School! In this online design workshop we bring together creatives from around the world for 4 weeks of design, trends & community.

There really is no community quite like it! It’s my favourite time of year. Hope to see you there!
