Summary
Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing that creativity was something we would get around to later. After the work was done. After the kids were grown. After life settled down. The problem is that later never seems to arrive. In this episode, I make the case that creativity is not a reward for getting everything else right. It is one of the things that helps us stay healthy, resilient, and fully engaged with life. Drawing on my own decade long journey of writing The Consistency Code, along with research on creativity and well being, I explore why making something may be one of the healthiest things you do all week. You do not need permission to create. You only need to begin. Want to keep going?
