Post # 14 - The 15-Minute Creative Practice That Keeps Me Inspired

Posted under: Creativity, Joy, or Expression | The Full Life Edit

For a long time, I thought creativity had to mean big projects — novels, paintings, elaborate DIYs. But big projects require big time… and I didn’t have much of that.

So I started a 15-minute creative ritual:

I write without editing. No deleting. No perfect grammar. Just thoughts on a page.

🧠 

Why It Works

• No pressure = more freedom
• Small time commitment = easy to start
• I surprise myself with ideas I didn’t know were there

Some days what I write is beautiful.

Some days it’s nonsense.

But every day, it’s mine.

Creativity isn’t about the outcome. It’s about giving yourself permission to play.

💬 Your turn — what’s one creative thing you could do for 15 minutes today? Let me know — I might try it too.
