As a musician, I find that being creative is such an important part of life. There are so many different ways to be creative besides music. If you're feeling like you're stuck and need help, here's a list of ways you can be creative today.
1. Pick up an instrument.
Find an easy and cheap instrument. Ukulele, recorder, and piano are all pretty accessible. You can walk into any music store and have these readily available to you.
2. Color in a coloring book.
Coloring actually helps relieve stress and is a great way to feel creative.
3. Decorate your room.
What better way to take charge and be creative than decorate your room the way you want to decorate it!
4. Draw or paint a portrait of a family member.
You do not have to be good at drawing to do this. Just go for it.
5. Take some awesome photos.
Go to your favorite place and take a camera. See what happens.
6. Write a poem or short story.
You don't have to be good with words to do this. You can literally just word vomit onto a page.
7. Make a movie with friends.
This sounds super cheesy, but do this. Have someone write a script, have someone direct, and have some actors and videographers. You'll have a blast.
8. Create your own board game.
Sit down with your family or friends and make up a board game. Make sure to have coloring supplies!
9. Do some crafts.
Go on Pinterest, and check out some of the cool crafts people do. Try them!
10. Be willing to accept failure and have fun.
A lot of people fear being creative because they don't want to "fail". Being creative is not about winning or losing, it's about making something and having fun along the way. No go forth and have a creative day!
