It’s time to get up. Get up and take that first step out of the door with your camera in hand.
There will always be moments in life when things feel slightly off. You are distracted, irritated, restless. It is easy to sit with that feeling and let it grow. But something remarkable happens when you decide to make something instead.
The act of creating pulls you out of yourself. Whether it is walking into the hills with a camera, experimenting with light in your kitchen, starting a small project at your desk, or simply taking the first frame of the day, the shift is tangible. Focus narrows, the noise fades and we are left with a creative signal driving us. It is healing us.
Not every attempt results in a masterpiece. Sometimes the conditions are wrong. Sometimes the idea does not quite work, but that is not the point. The value lies in showing up, getting to work and choosing to engage with the world rather than retreat from it. It is healing us. It builds resilience. It strengthens perspective. It reminds you that you are capable of shaping something, however small.
When you make things consistently, you build momentum. Time and time again it proves true that one opportunity leads to another. Be a “do’er,” not a “gonna.” I “did” this [insert interesting thing] will always make a better story than, “I’m gonna do [insert thing you’ll NEVER do] one day”
So get out there and make things. Not because it will always be easy, and not because it will always be brilliant, but because it will move you forward. It will reconnect you with what matters and provide fulfilment. It heals us.
And with that, we reach the end of 30 Tips in 30 Days. Thank you for taking the journey. I hope it has sparked ideas, strengthened your resolve and reminded you that creativity is always available to you. The next banger is just around the corner.
