I’m really lacking a creative outlet in life. I spend all my time studying and analyzing things. I do meditate, do yoga and take walks, but my life feels like it’s so rigid and uninspired. Once upon a time I had a bunch of free spirited, creative friends and lived in California, where people kind of tend to that type of living. I would say that it really took me into a new sphere of living. Maybe it was just because I was in my mid-20’s and discovering new things, but I used to grow things, knit, crochet, have artsy drawing parties, play games. Things I really do love because I do have a youthful spirit. And I love how it opens up your mind to see your life in new way.

Now I have no creative friends (that I know of) who live around me. I feel a strong urge to make something – music, art, whatever, but I don’t know where to start. Can someone recommend exercises or a book or website or anything that might help me to do this, or to at least get on a path to living with more free-spiritedness?

FYI: I’m very detail oriented, sometimes on the border of OCD, so I think this would really help me. Also, I’m kind of ADD and pick up lots of projects at once but have a hard time seeing them through to completion. 🙂

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
