Finding Creative Inspiration with Mindfulness
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” - Pablo Picasso​​​
There can be a sense of creativity and play in adults, but so many of us have forgotten how to. Practicing mindfulness allows us to remember and to access an openness to creativity in both work and play.
A Return to Presence, Where Creativity Begins to Flow
Do you remember what it felt like to create as a child?
Crayons in hand, freely making marks, completely absorbed in the present moment,
in awe of color and discovery.
In those moments, our imagination led the way - unhindered, playful, and alive.
But somewhere along the path to adulthood, many of us begin to doubt our creativity.
Maybe you've caught yourself thinking limiting thoughts like, “I'm not creative.”
Or maybe you’ve felt stuck, disconnected from your inner spark.
In a world that moves fast and demands so much, it’s easy to lose touch with that quiet, intuitive voice, the one that inspires, guides, and creates.
Mindfulness offers us a gentle invitation back.
Back to breath.
Back to the body.
Back to beauty.
Back to the present moment, where inspiration naturally lives and flows.
Stillness, self-awareness, and creative practice don’t manufacture creativity…
They awaken what’s already within you.
Mindfulness reminds us...
Inspiration isn’t something to chase or force.
Creative inspiration is something we allow to flow.

Why Mindfulness Fuels Creative Flow
​
Presence Over Pressure
Mindfulness teaches us to create without judgment or outcome - just breath, movement, and awareness.
​
Reconnection to the Senses
When we slow down, color, texture, touch, and sound become sources of wonder again.
​
Space for Inner Expression
Stillness gives voice to what lives inside us - thoughts, emotions, and unspoken truths ready to be expressed.

​A Personal Note
There was a time when I believed I had to wait for inspiration before beginning. But mindfulness showed me that presence is the real beginning. Even on days when I think I'm not feeling creative, when I pick up a pencil or brush with intention, something moves. It isn't about being brilliant or perfect, it is about showing up, and in that quiet presence, creativity flows.

This 4-week art journaling course offers an introduction to creativity through the lens of mindfulness.
