4 . Be Creative .
Creativity is deeply nurturing but we often stop ourselves from being creative thinking we need a block of time to do anything meaningful . Expressing ourselves creatively can inspire and energize us and connect us to a playful energy that transforms the heaviness of our busy lives .
Giving yourself the gift of 5 minutes of creativity can open your heart and mind and allow you to navigate your life with more ease and grace .
To begin this self-nurturing practice , put on a timer for 5 minutes and doodle , draw , color , arrange flowers , declutter a space , write a poem or haiku , watch the clouds and see what images you see in them , write a love note to someone you care about , sing a song , do an interpretive dance to a song you love , make a collage , photograph something outside your window , garden , or do anything else that inspires your creative imagination or spirit !
Reflect on how you feel after the 5 minutes and experiment with different creative modalities .
