Mindfulness has so many implications to our lives, both inside and outside of creativity. Mindfulness is about taking control of how we perceive the world. We override the automatic behaviors that dominate our daily life and, instead, we view the situation from a fresh perspective. You can choose to be mindful. You can choose to hear the criticisms and not respond.
As you’re creating today, be mindful of how you’re approaching the problems. Pay particular attention to what preconceived notions you’re bringing into your work. This weekend, I encourage you to use mindfulness not just for your creativity, but to live a happier life.
