The stereotype in our culture about artists—brooding and sensitive people dressed in black—is not applicable to all of us. While some do fit this mold, plenty of creatives are happy as can be. Misery doesn’t necessarily make someone a better artist, so why not choose happiness instead? In this post, we are sharing 15 things that creative people do to keep their moods lighter and days happier. We’ve also selected a few quotes from some of our favorite creatives on Instagram to inspire you to be your happiest self:
Artists value freedom from the working world, but setting some rules for your creative time and space will improve the quality of your work. Happy creatives set a regular schedule to work with little to no distraction. They kindly inform clients, friends and colleagues about the best way/time to reach them.
Blissful creatives support others. Whether it’s as big as funding a friend’s Kickstarter or simply saying that you like their work, encouragement goes far.
Creatives that prioritize their happiness seek out like-minded people in their area. Try to find events that interest you and mingle with the crowd. In 2015, we’re sponsoring Dribbble Meetups all around the world. You’re more than welcome to attend the next meetup near you.
Days can fill up fast with work, school and other life events. Happy creatives open up their schedule to pursue different passions. Carving out a special time to create might seem like a feat, but it will positively impact your work and life.
Spirituality is reflection, contemplation and meditation on the larger questions in life. Without a consistent spiritual practice, whatever that might look like for you, the routine can easily drain your energy. Happy creatives engage in some sort of soul-searching activity that adds meaning to everyday life.
Good health and personal care will make you feel and perform better. Go to the doctor for regular checkups, brush your teeth, eat healthy, and pamper yourself.
Happy creatives maintain a consistent sleep routine to recharge their minds. Even night owls can find a way to ensure that they get enough hours of sleep. When working, try to take a break every once in a while and feel free to do something mindless.
Toxic people fuel toxic work. Create a peaceful environment by keeping honest, hard-working allies close and saying goodbye to the rest.
Set real, concrete goals and stick to them. It’s easy to let time get away from you. While a deadline does come with inherent pressure, nothing feels better than meeting a goal, especially if that goal is also a long-held dream.
Failing is an inevitable result of creative experimentation, and happy creatives know it. It happens to the best of us. Instead of fretting about those failures, accept them as incremental steps in your progress and learn from them.
Have you ever heard the phrase “Jack of all trades, king of none”? Ambition and multitasking are great attributes, but they will drive you crazy unless you focus. Try to stick with your strengths, no matter how scattered your passions may be.
Empathy is beneficial to your happiness as well as your art. When you relate to another person by imagining yourself in their life, you gain invaluable insight.
Nothing can kill creativity and happiness faster than banality. Make sure that you’re trying out not only new creative techniques, but also novel activities outside the office. Go visit exotic restaurants, catch up on new TV shows and movies, and experience unfamiliar music. The best artists consume as much as possible.
Success is one of the most subjective elements of life–there will always be someone better than you and there will always be someone better than them. Stay focused on your own progress instead of how others are succeeding or failing. All flowers bloom in different cycles and patterns, which keeps life interesting and beautiful.
“Stop and smell the roses” is a time-honored adage for a reason. Learn to enjoy everything in your life, starting with the simplest joys. Appreciate your successes, no matter how small they seem.
True happiness doesn’t happen overnight. However, incorporating these 15 tips into your regular routine will set you on the path to bliss. Develop these good habits and enjoy a happy creative life.

Last week the Creative Market team and hundreds of members of the creative community in San Francisco gathered for Intermission, an event that aimed to bring creators together for an evening of art and conversation. Interested in learning more about Intermission and how Creative Market was involved? Read on!
Intermission was an evening designed to get our Creative Market community together with the local San Francisco creative community, outside of our workspaces. The main idea behind all of this was to experience art and share conversation with each other in a natural setting.
As a team, we both conceived the concept of Intermission and produced the event (major props to Tyler, Greg, and Zack who did most of the heavy lifting). We worked hard to curate a great group of artists and stay true to the vibe we were going for. We were lucky to be able to support all the costs on our own, rather than sell sponsorships to other brands. This really helped us keep the event focused on community, instead of on heavy handed brand hammers.
We really wanted people to walk away with a sense of excitement about the local San Fransisco creative community. For the most part, we feel like we accomplished that goal.

We definitely intend to produce another Intermission. We’ll be looking at ways to improve the experience and we’re also considering holding the event in other cities. We encourage you to let us know if you’d like to see Intermission come to a city near you. This was very much our way of giving back to the community and we hope to keep doing that!

Thank you to everyone who came out for this fantastic event! It was great to have an evening set aside just so we could relax and have a blast with so many of the creative people in our area!
We want to send a huge shout out to all of the awesome creatives who helped make Intermission happen! We had the chance to gather in an killer location (the Rickshaw Stop was really the perfect place for this event).
We also got to listen to some of the best music around: Cathedrals, Aaron Axelsen, and Wait What.
Of course, we enjoyed visual art from numerous talented artists: All of it Now, Nathan Perkel, Terry Barentsen, Patrick Beaudouin, Travis Jensen, WEREHAUS, and HYBYCOZO (their lanterns were definitely a favorite).
Everyone devoured delicious food from The Chairman Truck. And we all made movie magic in the Orange Photography slo-mo booth upstairs.

It really was a fantastic night, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun without all of you! Were you able to make it out to Intermission? If so, what did you think of the event? Are you interested in seeing Intermission come to a city near you? Let us know in the comment section below.
