It is widely believed that only talented people can be creative and succeed in artistic projects. However, I believe that everyone has the potential to be creative and reap the benefits of it. Often, though, our creative side lies dormant, waiting to be awakened. Like anything else, creativity improves with practice.
Creativity isn’t limited to making art – we can apply it to every aspect of life, helping us succeed even in fields typically seen as practical or logic-driven. Developing our creative side can enhance whatever we do.
Engaging in creative projects is also known to benefit mental health, serving as a form of meditation and relaxation. That’s why giving her a gift to support her creative pursuits can help in three key ways:
- Boost or start a career in the creative sector.
- Increase productivity in her current job.
- Help her relax and unwind.
