🌱 Your Creative Starter Pack

Set a timer for 10 minutes. Your only goal: try something. That’s it.

Choose one:

• Doodle the shape of your thoughts
• Take a photo of something ordinary at an unusual angle
• Hum a tune you’ve never heard before
• Make a collage using a magazine or junk mail
• Invent a name for a fictional plant
• Write a letter to your future self
• Describe today’s mood as a color, smell, or weather pattern
   

 Check off what you find:
☐ A texture that feels nice
☐ Something I’ve never noticed in my home
☐ A shadow doing something strange
☐ Something accidentally beautiful
☐ A color that makes me feel calm or curious
☐ A moment that felt quiet in a good way 

 Draw a star next to any that speak to you:

 ☐ Make something that no one sees
☐ Make something just to throw it away
☐ Be inconsistent
☐ Be silly
☐ Be sad and still create
☐ Make something boring and call it done
☐ Start over, gently
☐ Call myself creative, even if it’s new

 Quick creative ideas with everyday things:

• Receipts, junk mail, scrap paper → collage, blackout poetry
• Notebook margins → tiny doodles or invented alphabets
• Your phone → take 5 photos in your house that tell a “story”
• A kitchen timer → creative sprint! 3 minutes, go!
   

 Cut this out, tape it to your mirror, or whisper it when you need courage:

               🌿 “I do not need to be brilliant. I only need to begin.”
