Affirmation: “I prioritize my creative pleasure. I enjoy expressing my artistic side and receive the gifts of doing so.”
Creative inspiration is an enlivening and necessary ingredient to feeling bliss. You must ignite your soul with color and light and music to appreciate the diverse joy of this sensory world in which we live. Embrace your creativity with this book and jump into the endless colors of your bliss. You are creative!
When we are creative, we feel more alive. We notice colors and sounds and the rich tapestry of sensory experiences surrounding us. All of this positive sensory input has the power to make us feel good. Feeling good is one of the most crucial ingredients in a blissful existence.
How do you express your creativity? Every day you solve problems and map out the course of your day by resourcefully responding to external circumstances. You are actually already very creative. But what about creativity for the heart and the spirit? When you create something to express the colors and feelings within, you affirm the life within you. Some people do this through art, dance, music, poetry, cooking, mixing new drinks, making perfume, writing, gymnastics, choreography, animation, and even coding innovative websites.
Do you feel like you have placed emphasis on enjoying your creativity? Not just for your job, but for your own personal pleasure? If not, it’s time you start. You will find yourself feeling more present to life and centered in your heart. You see, creativity is an expression of the heart and soul and the divine within. Letting that out is how you amplify it. Creativity magnifies your spirit, and it feels good.
Exercise: Find Your Art
One way to really amplify your creative pleasure is to try lots of different kinds of art. Try to work new creative activities into your month, maybe even two or three times a week. This can amplify your fun and energy with blissful creativity. Here are some suggestions to try:
• Take a Zumba class.
• Make a collage out of old magazines showing your life’s dreams.
• Spend the day learning to play flag football in the park.
• Get some children’s modeling dough and make sculptures.
• Put on ambient music and free dance with deliberately fluid movement.
• Invite some friends to paint pottery at one of the many shops popping up.
• Take a painting workshop.
• Create a new recipe in the kitchen (you can use a cookbook to help).
• Pull out your colored pencils and draw.
• Get together with some karaoke enthusiasts and exercise your pipes.
• Look up a cool makeup tutorial on YouTube and try it out, whatever your gender.
• Make fancy, fruity sorbet in a bunch of flavors, like raspberry mint, cucumber lemon, and kiwi green tea.
Delight yourself with imagination and artistry
and be inspired by life’s beauty.
