What is the most important thing you learnt about being creative?

Updated: Jan 7, 2022


Here are some genuine thoughts and feelings from members on why they enjoy being creative.

  • That it’s just the most important part of my life. It helps me cope, face trauma and relax. Explore ideas.

  • It keeps me sane. Well, relatively sane...

  • It takes thoughts elsewhere....

  • u just gotta have a go at it.


  • Mistakes can happen. Move forward.

  • Your imagination is bigger than your abilities.

  • Just that ... that I keep learning!!!

  • There are no rules: If YOU like it, then it´s perfect.

  • That i need to be creative every day.


  • Just start

  • It’s not about perfection

  • Being creative is a big plus when you try something new.

  • Being creative and having the freedom to express yourself with drawing and painting makes less room for lies...I forgot the person who quote it but yeah

  • Every creation is magical. No matter what is it, creating something new is world of its own.


  • It helps me keep calm and cool. i feel relaxed! its like meditation!

  • It's not about perfection. It's about enjoying the process

  • Just get started, let the process flow

  • Whatever you like, goes!

  • It's not a state of doing but of being.



  • It needs to be expressed. Suppressing your creativity is bad for your health. Make time to nurture your creative soul.

  • Being creative and creating art teaches you courage and patience

  • How good it feels to do something that is just about me for once. The pride I get from creating. And that if something doesn't seem like it went how you want, sometimes you just have to walk away from it and come back refreshed.



  • Just do it...dare to make mistakes and be yourself....

  • There is no right and wrong

  • Even if it feels like I don't have time it's often much more important to feed my soul. House tasks will always be there, I will never be caught up.

  • If it makes you happy creating it, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks of it.

  • That I can make art and how to feel proud of myself!


Thank you to everyone who sent wonderful messages of hope and encouragement.
