36. Being Creative Feels Like Living Again

36. Being Creative Feels Like Living Again

I've been noticing how much better I feel lately from podcasting consistently and doing more things just because I genuinely WANT to do them.. not because I have to.

I know how obvious that sounds but you may remember from recent episodes that I'm coming out of a pretty intense period of survival mode energy - the kind where you forget what it feels like to do something you love. And even the things you love to do sound so exhausting that you have to dragggg yourself to do them. Survival mode makes you feel like you're just reacting to life as best as you can all the time, but not really living, and definitely not creating.

In this episode I talk about how being creative is life-giving. Again, duh. But that's what I'm re-learning these days. That when I do things like go on a long walk, cook dinner for myself, or read a book just for fun… it feels like something in me is softening, opening, and coming alive again.

This one is about the shift I'm feeling from living in so much "I have to" energy into "I want to, and I'm choosing this for myself because I love how it makes me feel". When pressure drops, creativity rises.

I also talk about Noah Kahan and Taylor Swift because they were both talking to me last week (in his documentary and her NYT interview) about creativity, songwriting, and other interesting tings.
