The dictionary definition of creativity is “the ability to go beyond traditional ideas, rules, and patterns and create new ones”. So, you don't have to be a professional painter or musician; all it takes to be creative is to have a mind that can think new thoughts. No matter what you’ve been told or believed before, you ARE creative.
Creativity means different things to all of us, and it can help us understand our feelings, gain perspective and manage stress, or simply give us five minutes to reconnect with ourselves.
The possibility of making a little ripple of change through creativity is…inside all of us.
