Creative Prompt Day 1 – I Dare You!

Hello All!

Today is the first day of the June prompts.  First let me say, that anyone can participate in this project.  You do not have to do every single day, we all get busy and I know how hard it can be – BUT – these do not have to be huge works of art, or time consuming projects!  The point of these prompts is to get the juices flowing.  For most of us, a ‘blank page’ is the most daunting thing we can possibly face.  When there are too many options, too much potential, we freeze up and don’t know which way to move.

These prompts serve as just the little bit of direction you may need to do something, anything really!  Because the point is to think about life creatively, to open ourselves up to our creative purpose.  I truly believe that creativity is at the core of self discovery.  What can we find in ourselves through simple acts of creativity?

So I dare you to give it a try.

I think this first one might be the most difficult prompt though.  And yet, really it is the simplest.  You can take it literally, paint the word dare, write a poem about doing something daring, tell a story about a time you did something stupid playing truth or dare.  Or DO ANYTHING.  Scribble colors on a page, write about how you hate inspirational Facebook groups, sing a song about your cat, take a picture of a flower.  Just, whatever you do, do it intentionally. Take that first step and begin the challenge, because that is what I am daring you (and myself!) to do.  The first step is the hardest, right?  So any step will do!
