Interrogate any belief systems about creativity that have outlived their welcome. The best way to defang your inner perfectionist? Through playfulness. Anywhere your muse is feeling bored or stifled is a sign that you’re ready to mix it up. If you’ve been thinking about ditching your lifelong sketching practice for pottery classes, why not? Put attention into a new medium today — even if it’s doodling on your phone or changing your hairstyle. Claim your freedom to create in new ways.
