The dark nights are here. It takes more work for those of us on the wintry side of the globe to manage our thoughts and not fall victim to the harsher conditions. Pulled from the 'Anatomy of Creativity' coaching framework and my experiences/the wisdom of others, here are 8 suggestions to help you maintain optimal creativity and good mental health while we're under Gotham skies.

Supported as ever by founding sponsor Illustration X: https://illustrationx.com

The list:

1. Get offline
2. Get out more
3. Read Not the End of the World  by Hannah Ritchie
4. Practice 'whole body mental health'
5. Play, be silly, get out of 'the maturity trap'
6. Get to know your deathbed self
7. Conduct an emotional creativity health check and make unconditionally
8. Take care of your relationship with money
