Manage episode 275507514 series 2798126
Learn how to use the creative force lies within you that you can allow you to create your new story to overcome any limitations! I believe everyone came into the world with the desire to create. This may be one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. Do you feel there are conditions or circumstances that are holding you back from exploring and expressing your desires? Perhaps, in the midst of the demands of daily life, you may have put off, suppressed or even forgotten your dreams and desires. You may be thinking you're really not creative at all. In a variety of ways, through different and uniqie expressions, I knoweveryone has an expression along with the the ability to create. If you think about it, everything in life can be viewed as art. What you do, the way you dress, how you love, the way you decorate your home, your smile and personality, what you believe in and all of your dreams. Corine Garsten said, "Life itself is art."
This doesn't mean that life is always going to be perfect. Unforeseen things happen to us all. When life presents challenges, instead of getting discouraged, stay present and be intentional with your thoughts and your expression. How we manage our thoughts and how we use our mind can be for the better or for the worse. Jimmy Buffet said, "It takes no more time to see the good side of life than it does to see the bad." So bring your intention in. What is the new story, what is the new image, what direction do you take and how are you going to find it? If you think of life as an art form, it can open up your mind to new ways of thinking and seeing possibilities that you may not have been able to see or believe before.
Make space for the creative force within you to express itself. Take deep long breaths, smile as much as possible, become aware of your present moment and the choices you make, the things you think about and be aware of the impact your thoughts or beliefs are having on you. If it's not supporting you, just let it go. If those around you don't support you, create some space. Give yourself permission to be fully who you are. Release the artist's mind to create your new story and see how life itself is art! Albert Einstein said, "Creativity is intelligence having fun!"
