Good Idea: Create more and consume less!

https://www.omaritani.com/blog/create-more-consume-less

Scientific research suggests that engaging in creative activities can significantly reduce stress levels and contribute to overall well-being. Conversely, excessive consumption can lead to feelings of emptiness, loss of control, and a lack of productivity. The purpose of life is not merely to consume but to create and contribute positively to society. Engaging in creative activities can serve as a therapeutic tool, helping individuals explore self-expression and gain personal insight. To incorporate creativity into daily life, individuals can follow a three-step strategy emphasizing the importance of enjoying the process and being compassionate with oneself. Ultimately, prioritizing creation over consumption can lead to more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

The three-step strategy outlined in the text is as follows:

1. Choose something you enjoy: Select an activity that brings you intrinsic satisfaction and engages you fully.

2. Block time for it: Set aside dedicated time for creative pursuits, protect this time from distractions, and commit to a regular practice.

3. Leave your judgment at the door: Suspend self-criticism, embrace self-compassion, and recognize that growth takes time and effort.
