“If your house is on fire 🔥, the most urgent thing to do is to go back and try to put out the fire, not to run after the person you believe to be the arsonist.” ~ Thích Nhất Hạnh

Sometimes we waste so much energy chasing closure, payback, or apologies that we forget: we're the ones still burning. Before anything else: before confronting, explaining, or retaliating, tend to your wounds. Heal first. The rest can wait.

This wise reminder is brought to you by one of our lovely sponsors @healthyselflovetips. Follow them for more wise words to support your self-love journey.

Ready for a little brain training disguised as fun?

Every issue of Creativables comes with a puzzle pack (e.g. word search, maze, sudoku) to keep your mind sharp and spirits high!

This time, we’re shining the spotlight on the Word Search Game in Issue 14.

Find the hidden words and give your brain a mini workout while you’re at it.

Why bother?

Word searches activate brain regions linked to memory, language, and pattern recognition. Regularly solving puzzles has been shown to boost focus, sharpen thinking skills, and may even help slow age-related decline.

So go on! Take a break, grab the mag, and start searching. Your brain will love you for it. 💕

🌀 Caught in the scroll trap? Some get lost in endless consumption, unsure if their ideas are worth making. Others keep chasing inspiration, hoping one more post will unlock their next breakthrough. And some? They’re creating, but slowly bending their work to fit what gets the most applause, instead of what feels most true.

Wherever you are, here’s a gentle reminder: The spark isn’t out there. It’s already within you.

Swipe through for a perspective shift. And if it stirs something in you, keep the momentum going.

Creativables is here monthly to help you reconnect, reflect, and create in a way that feels true, not performative.

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free
