Awakening the Inner Creative Spirit

Reclaiming the voice you buried beneath expectations

There’s a part of you that never stopped creating—even when you silenced her. Even when you traded your paints for productivity, your poems for professionalism, your dreams for deadlines.

She never left. She just went quiet, waiting for an invitation to speak again.

Awakening your inner creative spirit isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you were before you were told to tone it down. Before the world convinced you that practicality should come before passion. Before you believed your wild ideas were “too much” or “not enough.”

To begin, create a small ritual. Light a candle. Play a song that once moved you. Open a blank page, and write: “What have I been longing to say, make, or feel?”

Don’t judge what comes. Just let her answer.

You may find a whisper at first. A flicker. But if you listen gently, she will grow louder. She’s still there—your brave muse. And she’s ready to lead you back to yourself.

Prompt:

What did you love to do as a child, before anyone told you how to do it “right”?
