Renunciation, an expression of creativity Part 2

As young children, we're all creative. We draw sing, build, and dream. Life is Easy. All we need are food or fuel, space and time to be and express ourselves. Yet somewhere along the way, we get lost and make life a little harder for ourselves because we think with our head and eyes rather than with our he-ART.

Have we forgotten the meaning of freedom, closing our eyes and sleeping in the middle of the afternoon with no feeling of guilt?
I do believe that creative confidence develops itself through renunciation of the high perception we have of ourselves in the eyes of others.

Dr Rob Watson interviewed me as part of Leicester Stories series #BuildBackBetter in July 2021.  Prior to the interview, he sent me few questions for me to prepare the interview and start thinking about what it means to Build Back Better post-pandemic. In the following post, I answer one of the questions augmented after reflecting upon the interview R: I’d like to know what conversations and discussions people living and working in Leicester had during the lockdown, especially when these conversations started to focus on the idea of Building Back Better? Through the lockdown, my discussion were upon the tools available to people to support their mental health and connections with others. In a trauma-informed programme, the first steps are stabilisation and regulation. In other words, if someone is in a state of shock, the first step is to ground them and help them manage their emotions.
