Whenever I reread (or relisten to) the book, Creative Calling by Chase Jarvis, a different concept sticks with me. As I went through it for the 4th time, Chase mentions that creativity is necessary, and using it is essential for our health; that part stuck out. So accurate for me currently and historically over the past two decades, going back to my early teens. When I’m not exercising my creativity, and all my ideas are backing up inside with no escape, I’m not my best self. It’s like being hangry–you get restless, irritable, and grumpy. For lack of a catchy term, call it creative-hanger, or more lightheartedly, call it creative constipation.
