How are kindness and creativity connected? (BKI 21)

Being kind is a beautiful human quality. Did you know being kind also encourages your creativity?

Grow your creativity with this small act of kindness today.

Hi, this is Diana. And Bright Knowledge instants give you one thing you can do today to move your creativity ahead. Today I'd like to talk about kindness. By inhabiting a space of kindness, we get to inhabit heart energy. We feel good about ourselves, we feel good about the world. When we do a random act of kindness, this helps us feel the world is a safe place and we want to feel safe in order to create.

It's actually very hard to create if we feel shaken to our core, if we feel insecure. On Maslow's hierarchy of needs, for example, having safety, physical safety is such a crucial thing to build all the other pillars of life, all the other layers of life, without having this sense of safety, then it's very hard to reach those higher levels. So by cultivating acts of kindness, you create an environment of safety.

And what I'd like to offer you today is a very simple exercise. Hug someone today. Just hug them gently. It could be your pet, it could be a person in your house, it could be a friend. Offer a hug and see if that warmth gives a little bit of a sense of kindness, a little bit of a sense of that flow of energy, of love, of safety. Try it out and see how this transforms your relationships both to yourself and to others.

And of course, to your art today. Bye.
