How to be more creative in 2023
As we enter the new year, many of us may be thinking about our goals and resolutions for the coming year. One common resolution is to be more creative, whether that means picking up a new hobby, starting a creative project, or simply finding more opportunities to express ourselves in our daily lives.

But what does it really mean to be more creative, and how can we make it happen?
For some, it might mean finding new
and innovative solutions to problems at work or coming up with unique ideas for a personal project. For others, it might mean finding ways to express themselves through art, music, or writing.
Regardless of what creativity means to you, you can do a few key things to foster your creative growth in the new year.
First, give yourself permission to be creative. This means letting go of any perfectionistic tendencies or self-doubt that might be holding you back. Remember that creativity is about exploration and experimentation, not about producing perfect results.
Next, make time for creativity in your schedule. set aside dedicated time each week to work on a creative project or simply find
small pockets of time throughout your day to do something creative, like sketching or writing in a journal.
It can also be helpful to surround yourself with other creative people, whether that's through joining a group or community of like-minded individuals, or simply seeking out the company of friends and loved ones who inspire and encourage your creative endeavors.
Finally, try new things and step outside your comfort zone. Take a class or workshop on a subject you're interested in or try out a new hobby or activity.
By embracing these ideas and making creativity a priority in your life, you can set yourself up for a year of growth, exploration, and self-expression. Here's to a creative and fulfilling 2023!
