I used to feel so much shame in not being on the latest social platform or app, so I’d join out of peer pressure. There were feelings of missing out. There were feelings of guilt. There were feelings of this new thing solving the very human problems of loneliness & depression. None of these new …
Creativity can be seen in every area of our lives – in work, or in play, or in the mundane. Wherever you can find a way of doing things a bit better than what has been done before, you are being creative. Perhaps one of the biggest interruptions to your creativity is worrying about being …
