Hey Friend!

I hope you had a great weekend 😊

So lately I’ve been reflecting on 3 things:

• Creativity
• Being an artist
• And boring tasks

When it comes to the things we enjoy, there will always be something we have to do that’s not so enjoyable.

For me, I love doing studio photoshoots. But editing is my not-so-enjoyable thing in my passion for photography. BUT I know I can think of a creative way to enjoy the editing process.

For example, I got creative with this photo from a recent session and added a moon in the background. It's a small thing but it made me enjoy editing!

Creativity is a muscle that needs to be “worked out” to get stronger.

You can be creative with anything and everything you do.

Whether you work at a school, or as an accountant, or even at a Dunkin Donuts.

So with that being said, I invite you to view yourself as an artist.

Because if you’re creative, and the best way to get better at being creative is by creating (or working out that muscle), then it makes PERFECT sense to look at yourself as an artist! 😃

Ok so now that you’re an artist, there are 3 things all artists do that I want you to consider doing in your boring everyday tasks.

1. Observe
2. Seek Inspiration

Observe

Artists have a keen eye for detail. They observe the world around them, taking in colors, shapes, emotions, etc.

So in your boring tasks, whether it's filing reports or making a latte, take a moment to observe the details of your work. And ponder on what the heck makes it so boring! Lol

Notice the nuances, the patterns, and the interactions between people. Take note of your senses. For instance, ask yourself questions like:

• Is it too noisy?
• Does your work environment stink?
• Are you cold?
• Are the people unpleasant?
• Are there too many distractions?
• Does the office make you tired?

I bet there are a million and 1 things you can complain about, but that’s not what I want you to focus on.

Once you’ve done some observing, get inspired!

Seek Inspiration

Get your creative juices flowing by finding new ways to complete boring tasks.

Remember: Look at your work from the perspective of an artist.

Get inspired by researching how other people do that task. Take note of how they make it easier and more enjoyable.

Then get creative with it! Sometimes the solution can be to:

• Play some music or listen to a podcast. (I love to listen to Diary Of A CEO)

• Take a break or go for a walk outside.
• Talk on the phone with a friend. This is always good when doing “mindless” work.
• Change your environment to a place that makes you more productive and your work more enjoyable (if you can). Sometimes I prefer to work at home, other times I NEED to work in the studio.

My intention is to help you make money from your passion.

And when you start using your creativity, things become more enjoyable.

And when you enjoy your work, you do more work, you do better work, and ultimately you make more money!

That's all for this week!

Talk soon,

Kyra
