This post is for Day 6 of my 7-day special series about ways to tap into the subconscious mind.
The subconscious is extremely complex and often not very direct.
This means that tapping into it—and the power it holds—often requires approaching it from the rear or side.
One of the best ways to do this is to access your creativity.
Every human being is creative.
It is part of our nature.
You do not have to be an exceptional artist to be creative or enjoy creating.
The subconscious mind is the source of all our creativity, which means that engaging in creative pursuits inevitably taps into the subconscious.
Doing this gives you benefits that can go far beyond making art.
It can help you solve problems, figure things out, come up with ideas, and more.
That is all just from tapping into your subconscious mind.
Creating has other benefits too, including stress reduction and relaxation.
It is also fun, something that is important even when you are an adult.
Most hobbies count as creative hobbies.
The traditional artistic pursuits -painting, sculpting, pottery, and so forth -are all creative, of course, but there are many more.
Did you know that woodworking is a creative hobby?
So is glassblowing.
All of the fiber arts, from knitting to spinning, count as creative hobbies.
Even adult coloring books are creative.
Any hobby in which you make or modify something is a creative hobby, whether it is painting pre-built figures from a hobby store, creating an oil painting from scratch, or crocheting a scarf.
You can find a creative hobby to suit you no matter what your budget is or what your interests are.
Look around and try different ones until you find something that catches your interest and creates that “spark” of creativity in you.
It doesn’t matter what you choose, as long as you choose one or more that you like.
Do pick a hobby that is different from your day job, however.
If you do a lot of writing at your job, pick something not related to words.
If you paint for a living, pick something that has nothing to do with paint.
You should engage regularly in whatever hobby you choose to get the most benefit from it.
Consistency is the key to this method as with so many others.
Try to set aside some time at least twice a week just for working on your hobby.
Half an hour is enough to give you the benefits and help you tap into your subconscious.
