When it comes to creative pursuits, this is something we usually get to once we've ticked off all the essential tasks first. But let me tell you, the winding trail of to-dos is a never-ending one. If we tell ourselves we need to do all the important things first, we'll probably never begin.

Creativity is something that fills the soul like no other activity. It’s a messy, beautiful and satisfying affair that has the ability to help us to unwind and reset our priorities. It’s a graceful reminder that setting our hearts to doing something slow and tactile is an important one. I encourage you to start today. Put aside all the mundane, boring tasks and start on a small yet lovely journey of unravelling yourself from it all.

Here, I share a list of 20 ideas to help you tap into your creativity and release something new into the world. I invite you to come home to yourself. Turn off your phone. Have an open mind and discover curiosity.

1 Take a different route to work.

2 Hop on a bus and visit a new part of your town that you haven’t explored before.

3 Journal an interesting experience.

4 Rearrange a room in your home.

5 Discover the meditative joy of colouring.
