Want to feel more creative? There is no need to overhaul your life. Just 5-10 minutes a day can develop a creative habit that builds confidence, joy, and a deeper connection with yourself.
In this post, we’ll explore how to develop a creative routine that sticks and why doodling daily can reshape how you see yourself, not just as someone who draws, but as someone who creates.
For example, here are a couple of my first doodles when I started this journey.
I kept it simple by only using black pens. When I compare this to things that I create today, I notice how much my technique has improved. The lines are more smooth, I can add more details, and color!
Here are a could of my doodles from the weekend!
5 to 10 minutes a day!
Creativity often feels random or uncontrollable. But also… creativity loves structure. When you show up regularly, even for just a few minutes, you train your brain to shift into creative mode more easily!
A daily doodle practice:
-
Trains your brain to explore ideas without judgment
-
Reduces decision fatigue
-
Builds momentum and confidence through small wins
-
Makes creativity a habit
You can try… A doodle diary! Much like a sketchbook and journey combined. I have done this with my daily doodle creations and I can’t wait to show you everything i have created! (Look out for a video later this week!)
A doodle diary can help you to track your progress over time, keep track of all the new techniques you have tried, and its always fun to look back and see how far you’ve come! This will also help to build your confidence, looking to see how many times your have created something or how much better it looks. Talk about serotonin boost!
Recap:
-
Celebrate progress, not perfection.
-
Keep your early work.
- Practice, Practice, Practice… and keep creating!
Get more creativity and doodle inspo!
