Engaging our creativity is a practice. Our minds like practices, because routine and rhythm are attractive. The creative part might not come as easily for brains more used to to-do lists and checking off tasks, but our brains are endlessly creative. Sometimes they just need a little push to get started. Prompts are perfect for this.
In our Mind Room we have a number of different prompt options: there are journalling questions, a core values exercise and a number of different worksheets related to self-compassion and getting to know yourself better.
We also have a number of self-help books and memoirs that can be a good jumping off point for reframing or thinking differently about challenges and experiences.
As with any new practice, commitment is the biggest hurdle. When you can designate a time and a place to practice and put it in your calendar, it becomes that much easier to follow through.
