Weave wellness into your creative workflow
Creativity and self-expression can provide support when we need it the most — being creative helps us relax, be in the moment, handle emotional burdens, express and share our stories and bring likeminded people together.
According to a recent Adobe study on the future of creativity, creating content on a consistent cadence is just as much of a driver for happiness as making money. And for 47 percent of creators, using or creating social content is even ranked as a top necessity for their mental health. Creators who post most frequently and spend the most time creating content are also the most positive.

It’s also been well documented that wellness fosters creativity, so we’ve partnered with Headspace to help weave wellness into the creative workflow. Creative Cloud members can access 12 months of everything Headspace has to offer, from short, guided meditations to focused creativity boosts and so much more.
Here are three ways to make mindfulness part of your creative routine right now:
Set small intentions
The idea here is simply to attain what you set out to accomplish — and be specific. For example:
- Sketch out two ideas for a project you’re working on, without expectation or judgment by 10:30 AM.
- Step away from your computer and stretch for thirty seconds.
And, hey, you may even shake loose a new idea.
Meditate — in bite-sized chunks
Headspace makes it easy to find snackable guided meditations, creativity-boosting practices and so much more — all at paces that work within your schedule.
Access everything Headspace has to offer, including the full Headspace Library, 40+ courses of themed meditations, and Focus Mode with audio and visuals.
Remember to rest
Yes, you can count rest as an activity in your work and/or creative schedule. After all, fresh ideas come to those who are prepared to receive them and taking a few minutes each day to cool down can open the window for inspiration.
