Do you have something that you do for yourself—a hobby that is just for you? That allows you to explore in new ways without pressure? If you don’t, what are you waiting for? We spend so much of our lives focused on work and family … and, often, our own creative endeavors fall by the wayside.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I’ve restarted an old hobby of mine, how The Artist’s Way is inspiring me to get creative, and why and how I’m prioritizing creativity as a hobby. Doodling and art is something I have always loved, and in this season of my life, I’m allowing myself to explore this artistic medium. Not only that, but I’m making time for it. We all have busy lives, and a creative outlet is something you have to actively prioritize.
