Express Yourself Freely

            From an adolescent I became obsessed with creating art because the authority it gave me. It gave me the power to create and let my imagination run wild. I was able to expand my creative thinking and allow my mind to do whatever it wanted. This is what I call “Expressing yourself freely”; it’s the ability to let your creative drive and imagination take over. Putting all distractions aside and focusing on what’s in front of you. Sometimes as creative people we tend to allow so many things to hinder our mind. The best way to get over this heap is let go and express yourself; in anyway that fuels that creative drive.

            I always carry a field note pad with me because I can take it anywhere. The reason why I take it is because it allows me to sketch-out ideas quickly. Whenever I have idea for something I’m able to get that idea down quick. There’s a liberating feeling when we have the advantage to express our ideas. When the pencil touches the paper it gives us the benefit to express our mind freely. Sketching our ideas also helps us to not forget. Sometimes all it takes is a quick sketch to help organize our thoughts.

            Anytime I find myself in a “creative block” I push through by doing productive and creative things. What I mean by creative block is when we have moments when our inspiration has barriers. It hinders our ability to create anything for whatever reason. A good way to overcome this feeling is to create your way through it. Make it mandatory to do creative things you love to do, even though you have a barrier in front of you. Sometimes that’s all it takes to ignite that flame inside of you. Let go and empress yourself freely!
