Creating Space for Creativity
I have yet to meet a person who does not like to create. We do not all do this in the same way. Some of us paint, some write, some cook or bake, some read and imagine, some make blueprints, some create with legos or lincoln logs. The point is this, we all create. We create our realities by existing and making choices; to get out of bed in the morning, or not to, to eat, or not to, to go to a job the fulfills us or to just go to get a pay check. These are all actions that allow us to create our lives. It is time for us to take our power back and create consciously. To do this we have to get out of our normal “boxes”. I am sure there are days you look at your life and say how the heck do I have time to do that? Well, although we may be tired you will find that when you give yourself time you end up having more energy because your cup gets filed.
So I send this challenge to you, spend 30 minutes a day creating. You can create anything, I give you permission (I have found sometime I need permission). Here are a few ideas that can assist you on your creative path:
- Vision Board - these serve us in so many ways. What is it that you dream about? Here is your chance to see it on paper. The next step is in your reality!
- Start Journaling! I know, I know, people look at me like..seriously, you want me to write. Yes! I want you to write. Until we start writing we are not able to see patterns that are no longer serving us. So write baby write.
- Listen to music and dance! There is nothing better than allowing your body to feel a higher vibration. When we listen to music we allow many of our senses to come alive again.
- Create a new meal that you have never tried. We all need to be nourished, be creative with your nourishment and then you get the benefits almost immediately.
- Color! If all else fails get a coloring book, a mandala off the internet or just a scrap piece of paper and color. It is easy, non intimidating and always a good time.
