Ep 083: Stop talking about it, and JUST. DO. IT. Like I try to in this episode....

<p>Artist Claire Macdonald (last week's episode - 82)'s work has really inspired me. She talks about how art is a gateway, for all of us, for understanding, empathy, connection, joy, play, meaning- so many benefits!</p> <p>I want to experience these benefits so, inspired by Claire, I decide in this episode to create an art installation (even though I don't really have a scoobie how to do this) in the woods.</p> <p>She advises me on how to go about doing this, believing that art installations, and art in general, are definitely not just for people that call themselves artists.</p> <p>She also advises: drop the perfectionism and just do it, don't obsess about the outcome because the experience of creating IS the art, and where you reap all these benefits.</p> <p>I thought after a year talking so much about creativity and pushing yourself out your creative comfort zone, I should put my money where my mouth is. This is the start of it. An art installation will be created soon to mark a year of the Big Juicy Creative podcast!</p> <p>Over to you - what are you going to create, so you too can reap all these big juicy benefits of being creative?</p> <p>To follow Big Juicy Creative for loads of inspiration on living creatively, see:</p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bigjuicycreativeliving/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bigjuicycreativeliving</a></p> <p>Facebook <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/bigjuicycreativeliving" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@bigjuicycreativeliving</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzybashfordbigjuicycreative/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">@suzybashford</a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/suzybashford">@suzybashford</a> </p> <p>contact Suzy: <a href="mailto:suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk</a></p>
