Fostering Creativity as an Adult Tip Sheet

As children, creativity is a natural and inherent part of our lives. We colour and draw without worrying about what other people think of our pictures. We create imaginary worlds and play make-believe. We make string bracelets for our friends. We go to ballet class or violin lessons.

As we grow older, however, creativity often falls to the wayside. Unless we’re one of the lucky few successfully working in art-based fields, most of us don’t set aside time specifically for our creative pursuits.

This tip sheet explores the importance of the creative process and how you can effectively unleash creativity as you age.
