Original Prompts for HSP Creatives
Let's Make Magic -- and Money! 🪄
Hello, Dear Readers.
A quick thank you to those of you who have completed the recent subscribers’ survey. Your responses are invaluable and will allow me to hone in on what readers of this publication really want. 💞 Haven’t had time to complete it? Your voice is needed — click on the button below to respond.
Now, onto today’s topic which was born via your survey responses — Prompts for Sensitive Creatives.
My research indicates that HSP’s are more imaginative, artistic, and thoughtful than the average bear. Dreaming up a poem, capturing a beautiful image, writing song lyrics, or painting an original scene is second nature for us. 💫
At the same time, we are human beings living real lives, and our muses don't necessarily appear out of thin air — especially if we’re tired, stressed, or overthinking.
To activate creative our senses for the purposes of both work and pleasure, HSPs, like others, may turn to artistic prompts.
Here are some of my favourites:
Immersion into Nature — Being in the wild is second nature (see what I did there? 😉) for Highly Sensitive People. Whether we’re admiring a spectacular Golden Hour, losing ourselves in a bird’s pretty morning call, or wandering down a quiet path, HSP + nature = full alignment. Our creativity is activated when we are in natural surroundings. In the section below, paid subscribers can access a “how-to” regarding our relationship with nature and how it promotes creativity.
Photographic Evidence — Seeing and capturing a striking image, and then studying the photo can activate the imaginative part of our brains. Our love of detail, whether it's the curve of a model's face or the mismatched brickwork on a shop wall, allows us to hone in on specific aspects & nuances, cultivating artistic sensibilities.
Inspired by Works of Art — By viewing and/or discussing high quality or creative works of art, films, books, and design, we automatically trigger our creativity by channeling what we’ve encountered into our own lives, worlds, and projects. For instance, The White Lotus is a phenomenon right now. I feel that the writing, cinematography, acting, storyline, etc. is out of this world, and always feel inspired after watching an epsiode (not to mention its very famous theme song - and related artistic debate!)
Activations In Full
Does the idea around tapping into our creativity resonate with you? And, do the prompts above align with your sensibilities? I find that, sometimes I get blocked or stuck in flight or fight and cannot move forward without going on a walk, closing my eyes and meditating or dancing around the house to an old 80’s hit. Encouraging myself to take my mind and body to another dimension really helps.
To boost this experience futher, paid subscribers can unlock three original prompts after the “paid” line below. These step-by-step activations have been designed by me and are based on the summaries above, specifically for Highly Sensitive Creatives. If your muse isn't available, employ one or more of these prompts to light that internal fire. ✨️
You’ll also find links to several currated articles — sourced through a number of publications — focused on the parallels between creativity, artistry, sensitivity, entrepreneurship, and success.
Feel free to upgrade to paid if you desire. Here’s a screenshot on how to upgrade from a free to a paid subscription.

Until next time, HSP Creative — Stay real.
