"We are born to create. We are storytellers. It is in the natural form of our being and existence. Sometimes, with daily life, creativity feels miles away. We know it lives and breathes inside of us, but accessing our creativity and the creative process can feel daunting after a day's work with dishes still to be washed and laundry to be folded. Creativity ebbs and flows. It has a profound effect on our mental health, sense of purpose, and meaning in our lives."
"1. Preparation and Practice- This is where youlearn the craft and immerse yourself in the art form. If you are a writer, you read other writers and model their style. You research, practice, copy artists you admire, and you practice some more. In this phase, you build the muscle where the art form becomes second nature. For me, I write every day"
Creativity is an innate human capacity and storyteller impulse that can feel distant amid daily chores. Creativity affects mental health, purpose, and meaning. The creative process can be mapped into five stages to guide creators. Preparation and Practice involve learning craft, immersion, imitation, research, and daily disciplined work to build artistic muscle. Incubation involves subconscious processing, daydreaming, meditation, and the formation of novel connections as ideas simmer. Insight represents the sudden "aha" revelation when connections surface. Regular practice and playful exploration of ideas foster movement through these stages toward creative breakthroughs.
