There are countless benefits to embracing your creative side! It can build self-confidence, reduce stress, and even bring joy to those around you.

The best part? Creativity isn’t just for artists. Everyone has it in their own way.

Here are 3 simple ways to spark your own creativity:

1️⃣ Keep a Journal - Writing regularly is one of the easiest ways to capture all of your ideas.

2️⃣ Ask “What If” Questions - By asking imaginative questions you can let curiosity lead the way.

3️⃣ Get Out in Nature - There is nothing like fresh air and new surroundings to clear your mind and stimulate creativity.

This summer, we want to try something new and we've picked...pickleball!

Trying something new can be intimidating, uncomfortable and a lot of effort 😰

So why should we push out of our comfort zone to try a new sport? There are a few reasons to try something different:

PERSONAL GROWTH - it challenges you to push boundaries and build your self-confidence.

BUILDING SKILLS - you get to learn something new and increase your problem-solving and mental resilience at the same time.

SELF-REFLECTION- it is a chance to see what you like and what you don't like 🤔

STRESS REDUCTION - trying something new can get you out of your own head and improve your mood.

So, what tips do you have for us as we try pickleball? And what activity are you considering trying for the first time?
