You Don't Need Talent to Be Creative

Some think creativity is the same as talent.

It is not! Creativity is making or envisioning. Talent is mostly a skill that comes with practice (unless you're a prodigy).

You can be a creative cook, knitter, jewelry artisan, problem solver, networker, wood worker, teacher, gardener, event planner, coder... 

Dr. Shelley H. Carson studies the intersection between human creativity, psychopathology and resilience at Harvard University. According to her research, engaging in creative activities activates the brain's reward system, leading to increased motivation and a sense of accomplishment.

If you're feeling bored or directionless, try fueling your motivation through creative expression.
