Eric Maisel
One of the best ways to help yourself create every day is to craft a starting ritual that you begin to use regularly and routinely. When your ritual becomes habitual you will find yourself moving effortlessly from not creating to creating.
Ira Verant
Doodling, which involves sketching seemingly random patterns or shapes, is a form of spontaneous and subconscious creative expression. Contrary to the conventional belief that it hinders productivity, research indicates that doodling can enhance concentration and memory retention.

Art is more than an act of creation — it is a journey of becoming. Every brushstroke, every color, and every moment of self-expression is a step toward uncovering the unseen truths within ourselves and the world around us.

Humor is an exceptionally powerful tool in communication. When we make someone laugh, chemicals are released in their brain that cause them to like us, think of us as intelligent, trust us more, feel better about the world, feel better about the moment they are experiencing, and enjoy improved cognition.

Invoking the Muses
The Athenian muses were the nine sister goddesses of imagination, inspiration, and the arts in ancient Greek mythology. Melpomene is a guide for the lost; a dark-haired woman, clad in widow's weed who tells us to make a record of our experiences, to create new works of art to help ourselves express loss so we may be healed
Danielle Dulsky
To be human is to be tasked to create. We are born with the capacity to feel deeply for a reason, with the instinct to make something new out of the old and birth some great majesty from the union between body and imagination. To place restrictions on a woman's sensuality is also to restrain her creativity.
