Unleash the Picasso Child

A recent conversation with a friend turned to how much more enjoyable it is to go to work when there is something to show for it at the end of the day. And yet so many jobs do not give us something to 'put on the fridge' so to speak. Long, sometimes boring, hours at work can filter down into our lives. Everything becomes drab. So what to do?



Why not embrace the inner child and actually make something for the fridge door? Making something that didn't exist before is a great way to feel alive and re-energise. Perhaps this is why children embrace creativity with such abandon.

Somewhere along the line as we grow up we become too sensitive about what others think of what we do. This inhibition then stifles our basic inclination to create and do something new.

So I am thinking that like my son at his chalkboard, it would do us all good to just grab some colour pencils, pens, paint, or chalk and tell a story with passion. Scribble if you like! Make it up as you go. Enjoy the process. And then do it all over again!
