Messier Spark Series, Week 3
Reconnecting with Our Creativity 🌟
Hi Messier Friends,
Sometimes, to move forward, we need to return to our roots: the activities that bring us joy and ignite our creative flow.
Remember What You Love
This week we're tapping tap back into what we loved as kids, when we did things just for fun. Recall the passions that you were drawn to. For some, it's sketching, writing, finger-painting or anything that lets your imagination run wild.
Creativity doesn't have to be a big endeavor
Don't be afraid to make creativity small. Read more here about different types of creativity ranging from everyday moments to bigger projects.
Research shows that creativity improves happiness and well-being, and can also reduce anxiety, depression and stress. See how you feel after a few days of picking up a creative practice.

Reconnect with something you're passionate about this week, and share your experience of getting back into the flow. Notice how you feel at the end of the week, especially if you end up engaging in something creative a few times per week.
