What Is Your Practice?

What is your creative practice? Do you have one? If you don't, start one. It doesn't have to be formal or perfect. A creative practice is something that you have inside of yourself that comes out in whatever unique way that makes you, YOU! 

My practice is always writing first! I don't really know what I think fully or how I feel even until I've written it down in my journal. I learned how to do that over 28 years ago from reading, "The Artist's Way", by Julia Cameron and "Writing Down the Bones", by Natalie Goldberg. They have been my writing gurus for over two decades! Crazy how that time flew by... but my practice remains and my creative self has evolved over all of that time into a varied maker that explores daily what "could be", how it might come about... All part of a creative mind and a maker's spirit. 

See what kind of practice you can come up with. Writing is just one of mine. Could it be cooking? Drawing? Singing? Whatever it might be, acknowledge it for what it is and do it everyday! See how it changes the way you see everything or how it engages you on a totally different level. It doesn't have to be a huge drawn out process, but try it and see how it makes a difference in your daily life. I know it's changed mine. Good Luck and post what you're doing!
