You’ve heard the saying, “Curiosity killed the cat.” The phrase has been around in some form or another for hundreds of years. It is meant to be a warning to those who would investigate a matter too closely.

Perhaps we take it a little too far. When have you ever heard of someone being harmed because they were curious? There has been far more damage done to writers and artists by a lack of curiosity than by curiosity itself.

If you are feeling lost or uninspired, curiosity won’t hurt you. In fact, it is the very thing you need for a creative resurrection.

Here are a few ways to stay curious:

• See a play
• Watch a movie
• Take a drive
• Call an old friend
• Visit the library
• Do some journaling
• Go for a walk
• Read a book
• Visit someplace new

Do something, anything, to get out of that rut. Curiosity will bring you back to life.
