What does being creative mean?

How do you define the word creative. When you look up the word creative ai comes up with it refers to the ability to use imagination or original ideas to create something. It often involves thinking outside the box and coming up with new and innovative solutions, expressions, or products. Being creative means using your unique perspective and talents to produce something original and valuable.

That pretty much sums up what most people think creative means when they say to someone who makes crafts or art that they are very creative. I have been told that myself many times. And yes that is true to some extent. But I tend to agree with some folks that I have recently seen write that being creative is so much more than that. I have been told by my doctor that I have to change or adjust my diet for health. So I have become more creative lately with making meals and what I am eating because of the changes. Thinking outside the box or the norm of what I am used to. It has not been easy but I would say that that is another form of being creative as well.

Some people might say that if you are creative in some form that it should be easy for you to be that way in other forms. Maybe but not necessarily. I have seen some of my friends who are creative in ways that I cannot imagine to be. Like one person who sees scraps of metal and turns them into wonderful sculptures or characters.

You can be creative in many forms. Creativity can also be a form of strength and courage. To stand up and express your beliefs and things you feel strongly about. Also can give you a sense of courage.

My creativity in my life lately has been a force of calm and positive energy for me at a time that has brought on a lot of stress and negative energy. I am learning to lean into my creative strength to bring the positive vibes back in my life that bring me joy.
