nFor something many of us love and admire, creativity is a wildly misunderstood thing. n nOne big mistake is seeing creativity as something only a few of us are born with, while the rest of us just have to sit back and watch the special people have all the fun. n nBut thats not true at all. Creativity is in all of us. And just like with anything else were all capable of, like speaking with animals or levitating or controlling the weather, it comes more naturally to some of us than others. n nSome of us just need a little more practice. The more we practice, the better we get. And the better we get, the more energizing and encouraging it all becomes. n nWe can learn to let our minds stumble down new paths, discover the unexpected, and express what we find in words or imagery or emotions, abstract or concrete, big or small. n nAlong the way, we realize everything can be a creative act. Planning meals for the week or walking to work can be as expressive and fulfilling as writing a novel or painting a portrait. n nThe 365 challenges in this book are designed to help you find the many creative sides of yourself, whether you incorrectly think you arent creative or youre already a creativity world champion (not a real thing) who could use a challenge. Take on one brief a day. Or binge them all. Or roll the dice and let fate decide. n nThere is no right or wrong. n nThe worst thing that can happen? Youll discover new ways of being creative at work, at home, and everywhere else in your life.
