There’s something incredibly freeing about creating for the sake of it. Just words, images, and movement flowing without the weight of being shared, posted, or monetised.
As lovers of all things creative, here at Vessel, we’ve put together a list of creative prompts to help get those uninhibited juices flowing. And for a little extra magic, we like to spritz some Euphoria in the air, or rub a little onto our temples, before we begin.
Euphoria is a bright, uplifting blend created to invite joy and play. With sweet citrus and herb notes, and a touch of warm black pepper, it brings a summery, radiant energy that invites movement, expression, and lightness into your space.
And while some of these ideas might feel a little silly, that’s often where the joy lives. In letting go and not taking yourself too seriously. In the tiny, surprising ways creativity finds its spark.
Creative Prompts to Try:
- Draw with your non-dominant hand - Set a timer for 5 minutes and give your inner critic the day off.
- Make a collage using whatever you can find at home - Old receipts, food packaging, newspaper clippings, cuttings from the garden…go wild.
- Style an outfit using the most outrageous pieces in your wardrobe - Think: clashy colours, textures, accessories. See what happens!
- Write a letter to yourself from an animal or insect - What would the family dog, a fly on the wall, or that daddy-long-legs in the corner want to share if they could speak?
- Invent a dance to your favourite song - No one ever has to see it. Just press play and let your body take the lead.
These prompts are perfect for a slow Sunday, a solo reset, or even a playful date night. Whether you’re craving connection, expression, or just a break from routine, let creativity be your guide.
