Why Being Creative is Simply Being Human
Feeling stuck in the daily grind, running through the same tasks like a hamster on a treadmill? With AI and automation taking over routine work, you might wonder what makes you uniquely valuable. The answer lies closer than you think—in your creativity.
Creativity isn't reserved for artists with paint-splattered aprons or designers crafting campaigns. It's the human ability to solve problems, connect ideas, and find innovative solutions to everyday challenges. Every time you figure out dinner from whatever's in your fridge or find a better route to work, you're being creative.
Research from the University of California shows that creative activities reduce stress hormones and boost overall well-being (Stuckey & Nobel, 2010).
Imagine what could change if we treated creativity like a daily tool for better decision-making, better collaboration, and better living…🤔💭
