    For fans of The Artist’s Way and The Creative Act, comes a ground-breaking new look at creativity, introducing “play” as the key to building trust and confidence in ourselves and fostering a greater sense of creative expression.   You are creative! Yes you! Despite what society, friends, family, and social media might tell you, you don’t need to be interested in or practice the “classic creative outlets” like art, music, or writing to find creative expression. And if you are interested in those outlets, you don’t need to pursue them as a career to live a fuller life.   The key to cultivating the kind of big, juicy life that sparks joy, connection and fulfillment isn’t by focusing on being “creative,” it’s by prioritizing play. In Prioritize Play, host of the Chaotic Creatives podcast and play expert, Rachael Renae, reveals that play is more important to our wellbeing than productivity or career titles and should be prioritized as readily as getting groceries, paying your rent, or getting your work done. When we’re connected to play, we become more curious, open-minded and patient with ourselves and others and are better equipped to find our perfect people and express our most authentic selves.  Within these pages are:  Mindset shifts you can use today to start seeing play in the everyday  Strategies to turn play into a regular practice  Guidance on releasing expectations on your creativity, and  Lessons in becoming your own hype pal.  Through some introspection and fun activities, you’ll see that play is the solution toward overcoming our creative blocks, caring less about what people think of us, and showing ourselves that we do deserve to prioritize our creative ideas…whatever they are. Even when they don’t make money. Even if we’re not “good” at them. Even if they’re not a “traditional” creative outlet. Even if they don’t serve a big purpose. Because we all deserve our version of our Big, Juicy Life!
