If You Can’t Hear Yourself Think, You Can’t Hear Yourself Create

What happens when you hold space for your creativity? Only amazing things. Try one of these techniques to hush the brain and create more.

There’s a reason your best ideas often show up in the shower, on a solo walk, or just before sleep: Your mind finally gets quiet enough to listen.

But what happens if your brain never gets quiet? 🧠

If every hour is filled with input, like the endless ding of notifications, scrolling content, being inundated in others’ opinions on social media, listicles, the news, and just the noise of everyday life, you start to lose touch with your own creative voice.

Not because it’s gone.

But because you can’t hear it anymore over the cacophony of everyday life.
