Creativity

Creativity is the ability to create, produce, invent new things and express yourself in different ways, promoting new ideas that help to satisfactorily solve the challenges of life in any area.
We are all born creative, however, depending on how we are raised, the problems, traumas and fears we face, we can block our ability to create. The development of creativity enables a change of perspective, unveiling a new vision, promoting greater ease and flexibility to deal with daily situations and problems in our lives.
