Habit 84: Express Creativity to Thrive with Lindsey Holcomb

Send us a text

Creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s for everyone, including you. Today, I’m talking with Lindsey Holcomb, an artist and advocate who has used creativity as a way to process her autoimmune diagnosis. We’re getting into what creativity really is, how it shows up in everyday life, and why it’s worth making a habit. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not a creative person,” or if you’re just looking for a different way to approach challenges, this conversation will give you something to think about. Lindsey also shares how she turned her first MRI into a piece of art and how that practice has resonated with others navigating their own diagnoses.

Key Takeaways

• Creativity isn’t just about making art—it’s about curiosity, problem-solving, and finding new ways to do things.
• It’s a powerful tool for processing emotions, especially when facing something overwhelming.
• You don’t need fancy supplies—creativity can start with whatever’s around you.
• Research shows that creative expression improves mental health, self-acceptance, and overall well-being.
• It’s easy to assume you’re “not creative,” but if you look at how you adapt and navigate daily life, you probably already are…plus my own examples of this.
• Learning to feel your accomplishments is just as important as achieving them.
• Boundaries and rest aren’t optional, especially for introverts or those managing chronic illness.
• A good question to ask: How can I approach this differently?
• Your DO of the DAY
