1 2
Try new things, learn something new Learning something new has so many benefits. Every time you put yourself in a new situation, you push your brain to understand and process new circumstances and to develop a new set of skills.This new experience, whether it be gardening or painting, can help you to discover talents you never knew you had. Imagine that you can dance, sew, cook, or many number of things- but never realised until you tried? You can also expand your social network as you will meet interesting new people during your new creative adventures. At Creative Town, we have several workshops to explore your creative and artistic side. Keep an eye on our social media channels to join our sessions.
Have a weekly “artist date” This is a wonderful and joyful idea from Julia Cameron. She defines the artist date as a “onceweekly, festive, solo expedition to explore something that interests you. The Artist Date need not be overtly artistic– think mischief more than mastery. Artist Dates fire up the imagination. They spark whimsy. They encourage play”. Need some ideas? •
