Whether an accountant or a writer, you are an artist whether you realize it or not. You create your life in each passing moment. The question is, are you creating with conscious intention or creating by default?
Creativity is our true magic. To be alive is to be in a state of constant co-creation with the universe, and the ability to convert our thoughts into reality is a defining characteristic of being human. But it also requires courage and commitment - especially in a culture that values conformity, trends, and marketability above authentic expression. For anyone who has hit a creative wall and wants to reignite their imagination and passion, author and poet James McCrae's The Art of You is a powerful resource to help you access your inner magic and spark your joy in creativity.
Presented in his signature creative style, The Art of You helps you dissolve blockages and jump-start your imagination. Awaken your sense of wonder, your childlike curiosity, and your ability to create something uniquely you out of nothing. Here you'll find a flexible set of tools, exercises, rituals, and insights to help you address the most common impediments to the creative process, including:
- Visual inspirations
- Opportunities for creative play
- Setting intentions
- Cultivating intuition
- Addressing emotion and your inner critic
- Developing your own style
- Creating with consistency
- Art as service to the world
