How Creativity and Wellness Overlap: Interview With Rebecca Hass
Rebecca is a fellow multi-passionate podcaster and creative wellness coach. She helps people have a balance of wellness and creativity to fight burnout. Because there is too much culture out there where we brag about how busy we are and how little sleep we get. And we need to change that.
For most people, creativity is not the first thing they think of when they think about self-care. But it can be one of your creative hobbies that give you the time and space to rest, and allow the space to work things out. And some of your wellness can be taking away the things that do not bring you joy and can be taken away to give space for other things that are important.
Putting your creativity and wellness together
Wellness is more than physical, it’s mental as well as spiritual. We need wellness in order to have creativity, but our creativity is how we express our soul. They both connect and feed off each other.
And there are times to figure out if what you love to do creativity can be used to make money. Sometimes having other people dictate it in any way (what’s popular, commissions, etc) can kill it for you. But also if others can kill the joy in it for you. If you get someone who rips into what you make and you lose all joy from it then maybe it needs to stay a hobby. But if you can take it as a critique (even if they are rude about it) and can look to see what you can learn from it then you can try it for a business or side hustle.
