111 Affirmations for Creativity to Inspire Your Creative Journey 

Creativity is a valuable skill to cultivate. Whether you have a creative hobby, or you choose to make your income from creative pursuits, there’s no doubt that interest in creativity has exploded in recent years. For my fellow creatives, I understand that the creative journey isn’t always easy. In this article we’ll explore 111 affirmations for creativity to keep you inspired, as well as the benefits of being a creative person. 

Am I a creative person? 

I believe every single person is creative. You might be creative in more traditional forms, such as writing, painting, or other hobbies, but creativity can also be found in the way you problem solve and approach life. 

If you’ve never considered yourself an ‘artistic’ person, don’t worry. Art and creativity can be found in all areas of life. I also believe that you don’t need formal training or education in order to express creativity. 

Within us exists original and innovative ideas that are waiting to be expressed. Formal training is great if you want to develop a skill, but it isn’t a requirement to begin your creative journey. 

How do I get in touch with my creative side?

If you don’t think of yourself as a creative person, you’re not alone. We can be out of touch with our creative side if we have learned from a young age to prioritize skills such as logic, analysis, and rationality. 

Although these are valuable skills, if we focus on them too much, we don’t allow space and freedom for creativity. It might feel strange to try and be creative if we’ve never prioritized it before. 

If you’re struggling to get in touch with your creative side, don’t put pressure on yourself. It’s natural to experience blocks from time to time. Try a writing exercise to free up some of the tension you feel. 

Grab a piece of paper and a pen, and begin writing without paying much attention to what you’re actually writing. Allow the words to flow onto the page. Don’t worry if they don’t make sense, just keep writing. 

Writing without any aim is a great way to free up creative blocks and help you get in touch with your creative side. If you want to feel the benefits even further, consider practicing this first thing in the morning, as recommended by Julia Cameron. 

Earning an income from creativity 

More people than ever are making an income from their creativity. Whether you’re a writer, graphic designer, or content creator, there are so many ways to make money from your art. If you are thinking about starting a creative income, or increasing the one you already have, it’s important that you focus on your mindset. 

Do you believe your creations are worthy of being sold? Do you believe in yourself and your vision enough to put yourself out there? It doesn’t matter how good your artistic skills are; if you don’t have the right mindset, it will be difficult to make an income from being creative. 

If you find yourself in a doubtful mindset, it’s a good idea to focus on affirmations that build confidence and self belief. You need to be your own biggest fan, taking pride in your creations. If you don’t love them, how do you expect anyone else to?
