What better way to gift yourself than to spend some quality time creatively expressing your inner feelings?
“The Dreamers Night Sky” by Cherie Roe Dirksen
I have only recently allowed myself to truly ‘let go’ and I found my form of expression which is more abstract than traditional (see above). It has been a liberating experience to finally have the freedom to do this and no-one was stopping me but me.“My first step was awareness of the deep need for my true expression to come through.”
When I discovered this, it was my call to action. My first step was awareness of the deep need for my true expression to come through. I then took responsibility for blocking myself and learnt the lesson behind why I was doing that. The final step I took was action — to bring about a new timeline or creative direction for myself.
A Call to Action
Free up some space this weekend or in the evening to tap into the inner child that just wants to finger paint and get mucky, cut out colourful pictures and make a collage or just do some ‘mindless’ doodling.
Why is this important?
When we give ourselves time out to practice creativity we are:
- Honouring ourselves by allowing time for ‘play’
- Tapping into the right hemisphere of the brain and our source of creativity
- Setting a scene of tranquility and ‘time-out’ from the noise of our left brain
- Allowing ourselves freedom of expression
Expressing your creative flare is priceless but here are some key factors for why allowing yourself time and space for artistic endeavour is good for you:
- De-stressing
- Calming
- Personal Fulfillment
- Integral Time for Inner Reflection
- Inner Balance
