Trusting your Creativity…

Jul 20

What a crazy time we're living in… Everything feels hard.

I remember growing up an aspiring hippie and being jealous that I didn't get to live through the 60's.... Well careful what you wish for...

For all of those times I wondered:

What side of things would I have been on?

What actions would I have taken?

What kind of life would I have carved out for myself?

Here it is...

I get to choose

I get to "be the change I want to see in the world"

It's up to us to "create" what our future is going to look like

For us

For those around us

For those that come after us

so no pressure....

I think that's why my creativity feels blocked right now. Creativity always has it's ups and downs but there is soooo much pressure right now to "do the right thing".

We're so cautions of the impact our actions have on society that for me it results in some serious creative blocks.

Everyone has their own methods for tapping into that creative space. My go to is hitting the mat - whether it's for yoga, a quick meditation or just a few breath's and a pause just to clear my head.

I'm also reading a lot because I feel like if I'm not being personally creative at least I'm absorbing other people's creativity.

Sometimes I'll pick up my guitar and say - I'm just going to play 1 song.... no pressure"

and see where that takes me...

Less often [because I hate both the journaling and the songwriting process] I'll pick up a pen and notebook and say - I'm just going to sit here and write whatever the F*&^ for like 5 minutes....

and see where that takes me....

How do you tap into your creativity?

Do you push through it when you feel blocked or do you sit still and trust that it will eventually return to you?

Happy Monday Friends!!!!
