I know this was made for actually older people but I'm 19 and I found this extremely useful. I've had depression for 8 years and my mind used to be so wild in my younger days, and now it's so hard to even daydream. Thank you.

Ageism is a prejudice against your future self. Creativity is investment in your future self. Nicely shared talk. Count me in on the granny graffiti project!

Painted my first portrait at 55 years old ,never did any drawing before, here I am still going strong at 67 and happy as a clam!

schools crush creativity, getting you ready for life as a cog, in their system.

Honestly, I really needed to hear this. I'm a collage student, an English major. Something I realized is that I chose this field because I loved reading and writing but I also realized that the academic setting has cause me to almost despise both. When I was in high school, I was in a dark place but I was able to write so much and I didn't care about perfection. I only wanted to tell stories about different worlds. Now, I find it harder than ever to even write a short creative piece. I feel bound to perfection because of the multitude of essays I've written in the past couple of years. I can't write without questioning the format of my piece or the grammar. I forget that when I'm writing a novel, not everything needs to make perfect sense. I can create things that don't exist, use words that don't exist and like he said "make a messy". But I think I needed that reminder that I had the most fun when I didn't care about structure or format but I was just writing from the top of my head and went with the flow. Anyway, I really enjoyed this presentation and I truly think I benefited from hearing this!

I reclaimed my knitting. We need to appreciate ourselves and take the initiative!!

When you start learning rules creativity starts dying...

To reclaim our creativity it is very important for us to understand that we all are unique. We must not follow the crowd blindly. Our creativity shines when our uniqueness and individuality blossoms🙏

WOW, I needed this right now. I will take this to heart. I have an entire room of creative genius I can start with since my husband died.

What a soul.

Creativity keeps us motivating !!!

Thank you, this is amazing. Even though I went to Art School and studied fine art, I was continuously told I was not as good as the rest. I was not part of the art clique, I didn't fit. It knocked me down so much, I stopped creating because I believed in them. They ripped out my love for just creating something out of my heart. Thank you so much for saying these words.

Cool Red hot chili peppers tee... Best band! 🤟

Clicked on the video because of the t-shirt. Stayed for the talk. Well played

I've gotten to the point where he speaks about feeling inadequate for coloring outside the lines and I wasn't expecting this, but I've started weeping. I had no idea how much of an impact that made on me. I can tell this video is going to help me a lot and I'm so inspired already.

So much healing 💔🙏🏽❤️‍🩹 is here, thank you👏🏽🌍🕊🎨🖍

For anyone who is reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, overthinking, and doubt get out of your mind. May replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill in your life ❤️

Thank you so much. I love making a mess and having fun with the 1-5 year old children that I teach. My only problem is my attempts at organization.

Wow, Damon, thank you for the redirection! I continue to enjoy the quient voice from the Big Guy. I bet your grannies love you. Looking forward to that mural; oh, yeah!

I tried hypnosis 25 years ago for relaxation and what i learned in that one session, still works today. I’m 54 now, kids are done with college and out of the house. I feel like its time for me again. I work in IT, like what i do but i think its time to reinvent myself. Been thinking about this for a few months now. Going to try using hypnosis to reignite creativity.
