Welcome to Day 19 of the IN AWE 21-Day Challenge! Today we spark inspiration, meaning and joy by choosing CREATIVITY.

CHALLENGE: Creativity, like gratitude, is a discipline. Embrace the choice to be creative like you embrace doing other difficult things.

INSPIRATION: My friend performance graffiti artist + author Erik Wahl once said to me, “Everyone is creative, but our creativity is hidden in uncertainties + the quietness of life; a space we don't often enter.”

Well, my friends, we have entered that space! There are few words better than “quiet” + “uncertain” to describe quarantine! Need more inspiration? Listen to my entire conversation with Erik + learn how to see art as an exploration of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable here on Live Inspired Podcast Ep. 80.

ACTION: Ask yourself “Why me?… Why am I so lucky to have this day in front of me?” Then honor that gratitude and sense of abundance by filling your day with meaningful activities that help you grow. Learn a new language, how to play the guitar, get back to natToday, create for the sake of creating, not the finished product. Pull out your kids crayons and some paper or your magazines and some scissors… or whatever project you got the pieces for but never began.

Today, it doesn’t matter if you finish. Just start. Allow yourself the time and space to enjoy being creative.

Share what it felt like! In the comments on Challenge Day 20 Page or on social, tagging me + using #InAwe. Everyday until publication (5/5), I'll pick one person who does to win a copy of IN AWE to gift to a neighbor, favorite barista or as a random act of kindness (because you've already preordered copies for yourself, friends + family, right? :).

My friends, today is your day! Live IN AWE.
