36. Celebrate and embrace the gifts of creativity (with Natalia Walker)

The Quiet Warrior Podcast with Serena Low

My guest for this episode was Natalia Walker, founder of Inner Creative.

Here’s what I learned from our conversation:

• The truth: Every one of us is creative (not just children)!
• How to put less pressure on ourselves by changing our expectations of what being creative looks like.
• Natalia’s Creativity Mantra: “I’m open and willing to make mistakes. It doesn’t have to be perfect. I just have to show up and give it a go.”
• How to feel safe when putting your work out there: the importance of boundaries and containers.

Self-reflection prompts to guide your creative journey:

• What space am I creating from: to please myself or to please others?
• What identity labels am I putting on myself?
• What do I love doing?
• When does time slow down?
• What makes me feel energized?
• How creativity helps you tap into your intuition and boost self-acceptance.
• Creativity is a muscle: the more we practise, the better we get.
• Creativity builds self-trust and the ability to let go.
• How to overcome inertia and get into the flow state.
• Small actions consistently taken over time always win over doing something big but sporadically.
• When we take time out for ourselves to do things that bring us joy, we give others permission to do the same.
