Within each of us is an artist, someone who can create and that is possible when we are balanced. Letting ourselves go into pure play and rejuvenation we are clear and open to the messages of the universe. Don’t think of it as a luxury, but rather a part of our destiny. Today we learn to cultivate our creativity through pure simple joy.
Day 18 – Creative Me
“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” ― Vincent Van Gogh
CENTERING THOUGHT
I play. I create. I succeed.
SANSKRIT MANTRA

Message of the Day
How often have you had the experience of struggling to remember a person’s name, only to have the name effortlessly revealed to you when you were engaged in something entirely different? The same thing happens when we wrestle with our minds for ideas or solutions. Once we let the challenge go and engage in something that frees our minds, the lightning bolt strikes!
This is the value of play. Play opens the pathways for creativity to flow freely. When we are engaged in play, we connect with the heart, rather than leading with the mind. As we access the essence of pure potentiality, transformative ideas and solutions come to us spontaneously, and we are boundlessly creative.
Reflect in Journal Questions:
- How do you like to play? What are the activities that are fun and exciting for you? How do they make you feel? Perhaps there is something fun and exciting that you have been longing to try. Consider scheduling that activity into your week.
- Write yourself a self-care plan for this week. What can you do to nurture your body, mind, and soul? What things can you plan to incorporate into your week that nourish and fuel you?
- What are you grateful for today?
- Reflect further on your experience today.
