Spring is a time of rejuvenation. The trees, animals, and flowers all come alive. This can be a time where we too can thrive and bloom by tending to our creative selves. Here are five tips that help you to do just that.

1. Doodling or Quick Sketching

One way we can develop the habit of creating every day and developing a creative practice is to sit down and doodle or draw quick ten- minute sketches. This not only keeps our practice alive but also creates an outlet where we can express our thoughts and feelings in a constructive and healthy way.

2. Photography

You can take a few hours each week to document the sights and sounds of spring in your area or just take photographs of things that interest you or for a personal project. The process of taking photographs itself is calming and exhilarating and helps you to capture the essence of your day, life and environment around you. It also helps you to develop a sense of gratitude and appreciate the simple things around you. This is key to developing a sense of wellness.

3. Walks in Nature

Walking to get attuned with nature is a wonderful way to engage your creative process and get sources of inspiration. A simple walk in nature for at least 30 minutes can ground, reset, and re-energize us and put us on the right footing creatively. As you go into nature and look at its different aspects, you can’t help but be inspired to create. Many famous works were forged by being out in nature and by creative experimentation.

4. Try Going Tech-Free

Take a few hours each week to go tech-free and focus on your creative pursuits. You can take this time to paint, draw, or do some crafting. This gives you some time to focus without being distracted by social media and gives you the reset that you desperately need.

5. Engage with Family and Friends

Sharing a creative project with family and friends can be a fun and engaging way to share what you love with those you love. It can also strengthen bonds as you have creative activities that you share between you.

To wrap up, spring can be a time of rejuvenation for you. Using these five tips: doodling, photography, walks in nature, going tech-free, and engaging with family and friends, you can finally give yourself the creative reset you need this spring.
