I recently worked with an actress preparing for a role as an artist, and our conversations kept circling back to an unexpected parallel—the deep connection between performance and visual art. Both require a willingness to play, to let go, and to step into a world of possibilities. But more often than not, we hesitate.
As children, we are fearless creators. We sing without shame, scribble without hesitation, and dance without wondering who’s watching. But as we grow, we start picking up unspoken rules. We become aware of judgment, expectations, and the invisible audience evaluating our every move. Bit by bit, we trade our boundless imagination for self-conscious restraint.
How to Reclaim Your Creativity and Overcome Self-Doubt
So how do we return to the kind of creative freedom we once knew? The answer lies in a simple phrase:
Imagine you’re four years old again. You’ve just discovered how to make basic shapes. Start there.
This one prompt is like a key, unlocking a part of ourselves that has been hidden away for years. It takes us back to a time when the world felt new when every scribble, brushstroke, and movement felt like an act of pure discovery. That’s the magic of uninhibited play—it reconnects us to our most authentic selves. And without that sense of wonder, what is the true purpose of our everyday life?
