We live in a world that glorifies speed. But creativity? It blooms in slowness.
I learned this the hard way. Rushing through life left me drained — I was producing but not creating. One evening, I paused. No scrolling, no planning. Just me, a brush, and silence.
And then, something magical happened. I created a piece that felt alive. It wasn’t perfect — but it was real.
Slowing down helps us:
- Notice beauty in small things
- Reconnect with our inner voice
- Avoid burnout
If you’ve been running on autopilot, try this: take 30 quiet minutes this week. Doodle. Write. Sit in silence. You’ll be surprised what comes out.
