Happy Creativity Thursday!
I believe we are all filled with the energy of creativity. It is such a powerful force that allows us to share amazing gifts. Click here to listen to today’s podcast that features a recording of my poem, “Creativity” (published in my book, That Which Awakens Me: A Creative Woman’s Poetic Memoir of Self-Discovery – available on Amazon).
Sometimes my creativity is blocked by fears. When I allow my fears to suffocate my creative courage, my creative heart closes. In 2011, I allowed my fears to close my creative heart. During the first week of 2012, I made a commitment to re-open my heart. My commitment turned into a full-fledge creative heart journey that began with a series of breathing and journaling exercises (it continues today).
I think opening your creative heart is a journey worth taking in 2014. It begins with an intention to come into the present moment. When you breathe intentionally and deeply, you invite yourself into the present moment. You also create space to discover and witness what’s happening in your creative heart. So let’s get started.
Breathing and Journaling Exercises:
Join me in taking 10 deep breaths. Get ready to inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Feel free to make sounds like “hah” as you exhale. You can get loud too!
- Take a deep breath and inhale self-love. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you experiencing it.
- Inhale self-care. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you experiencing it.
- Inhale self-expression. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you experiencing it.
- Inhale self-discovery. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you experiencing it.
- Inhale vulnerability. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you tapping into it.
- Inhale intuition. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you tapping into it.
- Inhale imagination. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you tapping into it.
- Inhale inspiration. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you tapping into it.
- Inhale creativity. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you tapping into it.
- Inhale gratitude. Exhale anything that gets in the way of you expressing it.
In this sacred place, find a pen, a piece of paper, or a journal to write your responses to the questions below. If you prefer your digital devices, use your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer to answer the questions.
- What does your creative heart look like?
