Episode 1751:

Leo Babauta explores how creativity flourishes when we embrace uncertainty, face discomfort, and allow ourselves space to explore without pressure. His reflections encourage a gentler, more playful approach to creative work, helping listeners reconnect with joy, courage, and trust in the process.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://zenhabits.net/creativity/

Quotes to ponder:

"Creativity requires uncertainty, play, and messiness."

"The mistake is that we think we need to know what we’re doing before we start."

"When we can create without needing it to be anything, we allow ourselves the space to explore."
