Make time for art

Coaching for Creative People

I have to title this post “Make the Time for Art” because this is so very crucial for Creative People! Creatives, not for the first time, I have tell you again how vital it is for you to be creative for your health and wellness!  In my graduate thesis, I discovered very robust findings that the more creative the person the more impactful creativity is on their overall wellness.  In other words, you need to create to be well!  Not only is it crucial for you to be doing creative work to stay the best versions of yourselves, but never has it been more important to the fabric of humanity for creative visions to be shared to make room and hope for growth and change.  Creativity lays the foundation for where we go in the future, and that, Creative, is you!

Busy Creative People

I know that even if you agree with me, and all of this sounds good, that life gets in the way.  You may have a 9-5 job that occupies your time and leaves little time for any creative endeavors.  You may be in a creative job but feel trapped in your creative business agenda and unable to invest in your own creative pursuits.  You may have finished art school and not sure what to do with your art next. You may feel generally stuck or uninspired.  You may feel inhibited by imposter syndrome.  You may be raising children or supporting family members and feel you have no time to invest in your creativity. Money may be an issue.  Resources can be a problem.  Even our own bodies give us limitations.  Believe me, I get it.  As an artist I have faced some of these myself.  ​

Lives of Creative People

What I can tell you is it is normal for your creative journey and how and where you invest your time to change over time.  You may go from a full time art student to a full time administrator with art as a side-hustle. You may be a dancer or a musician performing with a company and end up investing instead in a different profession and enjoy music and dance in your community as a performer or even teacher.  You will need to create your creative journey over and over again.  It will be frustrating to do this. You might feel like you sold out, failed or let yourself go, but this is just the normal process of change in life.  You get to decide what you want to do with your life and creativity and when, and your pathway is your own.

Tips for Busy Creative People

In a recent #createwellminutecast on YouTube  I shared a tip to get you started to find windows of opportunity to get reengaged in your creative work.  Check it out- it was episode 103- but essentially the tip was write out a schedule of your typical day, and indicate ANYWHERE YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES OR MORE UNUSED.  This time is enough for you to do some version of creative work.  It is trial and error to see how and what fits into your life.  It requires acceptance of where you are and what works.  ​

Connecting with Other Creative People

My second recommendation to you is see how you can plug yourself into your creative community.  There are opportunities all around you to get engaged- but you don't have to look too far! You can connect with my community of artists in the Creatively Online Residency! Try various things and get yourself plugged in.  The culminative energy of creative people working together is beyond compare and the motivation of events, classes and even little project deadlines keep you engaged.
