To create, you need to be in a state of play. That means embracing your inner child, the part of you that’s eager for adventure, ready to learn something new, and not scared to make a mess or get into trouble.
A playful mindset allows ideas to flow more freely. Problems feel lighter.
Solutions come with less resistance. There’s more ease, more freedom.
You can nurture this attitude by practicing curiosity.
Children are naturally curious—they ask questions, explore, experiment—because everything is still new to them. They haven’t spent much time in the world, so they approach it with wonder. Wonder… I love that word.
What if you brought a sense of wonder to your work?
What if you let yourself be curious and have a little fun?
You might be surprised by what shows up when you do.
