In this week’s Start Fresh Sunday, we focused on rediscovering the creative spark within us. Here’s what we discussed:
Key Points:
- Understanding Creativity: Creativity isn’t just about art or writing; it’s about finding innovative solutions, thinking outside the box, and expressing yourself in new ways.
- Overcoming Creative Blocks: We talked about common obstacles that hinder creativity, such as fear of failure, perfectionism, and lack of inspiration. Michaela shared practical tips on how to overcome these blocks and reconnect with your creative self.
- Daily Creative Practices: Incorporating small, daily creative practices like journaling, doodling, or exploring new hobbies can help keep your creativity flowing.
- Embracing Imperfection: Creativity thrives when we let go of the need for perfection and allow ourselves to experiment and make mistakes.
We encouraged viewers to take time each day to engage in creative activities, whether it’s as simple as doodling on a notepad or trying out a new recipe. Creativity is a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets!

On Tech Tuesday, we explored the exciting world of AI and how it can be a powerful tool for boosting creativity. Here’s what we covered:
Key Points:
- AI as a Creative Partner: AI isn’t just for productivity; it can also be a creative companion, helping you generate ideas, brainstorm, and push past creative blocks.
- Using AI Prompts: Michaela demonstrated how to use AI platforms like ChatGPT and Jasper to generate creative prompts for writing, art, and problem-solving. These prompts can serve as a starting point, sparking new ideas and helping you think in new directions.
- Enhancing Creative Projects: We explored how AI can assist in various creative projects, from writing stories to developing new marketing campaigns, by offering fresh perspectives and unique insights.
- Practical Applications: Whether you’re a writer looking for plot ideas, an artist seeking new concepts, or a business professional brainstorming campaign strategies, AI can provide the creative boost you need.
We emphasized that while AI is a powerful tool, it’s important to use it as a supplement to your creativity, not a replacement. AI can help you think outside the box and explore new possibilities, but your unique voice and perspective remain at the heart of your creative work.
