Feeling stressed in quarantine? Create. Bored? Create. 

And I don’t just mean making your own face mask, though I have seen some amazing creations for those. You don’t have to be a talented painter, poet, sculptor, or musician. . . each of us has a natural, curious, creative spirit that many of us have squashed since we were kids. What better time than now to let those fun talents and urges arise?

Here are some of my favorite examples of how people are using their creative energy and skills during COVID quarantine:

So if you haven’t yet unleashed your inner Rembrandt, budding Shakespeare, wanna-be Iron Chef, or other Master Creator in whatever form it takes, what are you waiting for? If you live with others, you have a captive audience (literally) to appreciate your gifts. If you live alone, and your masterpieces fail, so what? Only you’re there to laugh and learn.

I’d love to hear what you all are creating! Please post on my website comments below if you feel like sharing.

In creativity and health,

Laurie

  1. Yep. All of those things sound pretty familiar (except walking the baby). I’ve been producing lots of artwork, designing better work spaces for 2 at-home businesses and trying different ways to exercise without the gym equipment.

    1. Always the Renaissance man! ; ) Love your photography! Yeah, I’ve been using champagne bottles as weights as I work out from home…soup cans for the shoulder lifts, LOL…

  2. I want to unleash my inner Marie Kondo …

    … right after I call one more friend, check my texts, email, and the latest outbreak news.

    Thanks for the encouragement!

  3. I would LOVE to see a selfie of you using kitchen drawer “Etc. Items” (we all have THAT drawer somewhere in our homes) of you becoming the ‘Joe the Plumber’ of the Bay Area.
