Good morning!
Today’s email focuses on week One from Cultivating Creativity: Creativity of Soul. During this week we will focus on our soul, who we are, what we dream, desire, wish for in our cores. What makes us want to create, what forces drive us, what holds us back from creating.
I believe that in order to live a creative life we first need to be in tune with our souls and our desires. Anyone who has felt the pull of creating something has first felt it as a small itch inside of us. The writer knows the feeling of the words inside pushing against the walls, begging to be written into a notebook or typed onto a screen. The painter or photographer knows the feeling of needing to capture the sunrise or the flower or the mist. The mother knows the feeling of needing to nourish a loving home for her family.
In order to use these feelings, these desires, we first need to be in tune with ourselves, so that we are able to recognize these calls to create.
Today I invite you to try to sit in silence for a few minutes. What silence may mean for you: the tv on in the background, kids running around, or actual silence with a warm cup of tea. Just try to take a few moments to yourself to close your eyes and daydream. Go back to what you thought about yesterday and what creativity means to you. Now think about what type of life you want to create or what type of life you ARE creating. How do you want to feel as you move throughout your days, how does that differ from how you ACTUALLY feel as you move throughout your days.
Take some time today to find an area in your life where you would like creativity to flow better. In simple ways: if you long for more beauty, bring in a bud from a flower and place it on the table. Create a small nature table in the kitchen. Pick up a book of poetry. Go outside and look up at the clouds for a few minutes.
Today is all about recognizing that pull of creativity in whatever aspect of life it is in. If you want to act on that pull today, awesome! If today you want to simply recognize it and sit with it, awesome!
If you feel called to share, I look forward to seeing where you felt called to bring more creativity to life and how you manifested that today.
