Making Fun A Habit Series

30 days to add fun into your creative practice. I will be going through Mike Brennan's Make Fun A Habit workbook and help you make fun a habit. I had the pleasure of interviewing Mike on my other podcast Find A Podcast About and talking about his podcast Creative Chats. This workbook leads you through steps to rekindle the fun in your life and get you in a space where you are your most creative. This is a 30 day book and I will be tackling each day as if it were a week and providing you insights on how you can use his ideas in your creative practice. Each chapter is broken up with a short story, questions to ponder, action items and tips.

I Like to Move It Move It

Dance as if no one was watching. We have heard that phrase over the years. But what if you really danced as if no one was watching? Would that help you overcome embarrassment of your skills or lack thereof? Movement in our physical body is healthy, we all need to move, but sometimes we have aches and pains that interfere with our movement, so why not try a movement class like tai chi or yoga and move your body, feel all the joints working together and then translate that into a piece you are working on, noticing how the movement in your body feels.

Question to ponder

  • When was the last time you danced? What was that like?
  • What would make dance or movement more fun?
  • Who can you dance or move together with?

Action item: incorporate dance into your daily routine. Dance while doing household chores or on your way to the office copying machine.

Tips:

  • dance flash mobs
  • dance challenges
  • dance workshops or classes
  • dance based fundraisers

Timothy Kimo Brien believes the impulse to make things is fundamental, yet so often gets buried under daily life and self-doubt. In Create Art Podcast, he draws from three decades of work across various artistic disciplines to gently dismantle those barriers. This isn't about lofty theory or inaccessible talent; it's a practical, companionable space for anyone who feels that quiet urge to build, paint, write, or perform but isn't sure where to begin or how to continue. You'll hear genuine conversations with creators about their processes and struggles, alongside Timothy's own commentary and ideas for projects designed to spark action. The core idea is simple but profound: to shift the balance from passively consuming to actively creating. Each episode serves as a reminder that the potential artist isn't a distant ideal, but a present reality waiting for permission to work. By focusing on the doing-the small, consistent acts of making-this podcast provides both the tools and the encouragement to move past creative blocks. It’s for hobbyists, aspiring professionals, and anyone in between who wants their leisure time to feel more purposeful and expressive. Tune in for a blend of thoughtful discussion and actionable advice that meets you exactly where you are in your creative journey.
