Creative Space

I think most people are creatives in some way. Everyone creates something whether it is writing, music, cooking, crafting, art, or other creative ventures. Creating in whatever form is a way to improve our mental health and to express ourselves. Creators need creative space to do their work, and each person might need something slightly different in the space. Answer the following questions to help you design your spot.

How much space do you need? Where can you find the space?

What resources and items do you need in your space to create?

What will help to inspire you in your space?

Do you create best at a certain time of the day?

I have been a writer for many years, and my creative space helps me to express myself. Let me tell you about my favorite place.

I write in the back of the house where we have a huge sunroom. There are large windows looking out in the backyard. There are two comfortable couches. One is for naps when I have become too tired to create, and the other is for my cats and dog to keep me company. I have a diffuser that diffuses an essential oil that smells amazing, and on rainy days, I have candles to light to add to the ambiance. I have two spots where I write within this space. My husband built me a beautiful podium where I sometimes write, but most of the time I am at my desk surrounded by my favorite photos, notes, and quotes. I love journals so I often write in them first, but I also have a large whiteboard where I often brainstorm ideas. There is something about this space that helps me write. It is my happy spot.

Make your creative space a spot where you love to go and lose yourself in the creating.
