The Act of Creation Zen Habits Podcast

Many of us approach creativity with preconceived notions, assuming that the act of creating is a straightforward process of bringing an existing idea into reality. Yet, true creativity often emerges from venturing into the unknown, challenging our expectations of what it means to create.
In this episode, we dive into creativity as an act of discovery, where the unknown plays a central role in shaping our creations. We examine the interplay between intention and spontaneity, the importance of playfulness, the role of ego, and the transformative power of embracing outcomes, regardless of their success.
Join me as we explore an often overlooked aspect of creativity – that it is as much about discovering ourselves as it is about creating something new.
