Abandon yourself to your inventive nature.
Surrender yourself to your inventive nature.

Do they mean the same thing in this context?

Thanks

I would use the second example, abandoning gives the impression of leaving alone whereas surrendering gives the impression of letting go.

Could you be more clear about the difference? The difference seems interesting.
