ARCHIVED- 6 ways to creatively launch into spring!

10/1/2016

Hello, Creatives!  Finally, some warm weather with the promise of Spring in Maryland.  I hope you are getting outside and feeling inspired (remember the “Getting Inspired with Mindfulness” post? Worth a re-read).  This week,  I want to help you capitalize on the powerful impact nature and weather has on us and our creative process.


Remember, Creative, you are sensitive, and you are sensory.  You have strong emotional reactions to many things, and are very impacted by information coming in to your sensory system (sights, sounds, textures, smells, tastes).  Change is very powerful because during a time of change our senses are very heightened to absorption (think jumping in a cold pool on a hot day- those first few seconds are potent!)  All totaled, you have a powerful stream of energy to tap into during a seasonal change.  And- the best, most mindful way to capitalize on this energy, is to go get in it- get outside!


I want you to physically put yourself into this energy stream and take what nature is offering you- like the plants stretching and unrolling their leaves into the warm sunlight after a long winter- absorb the energy and refill your stores. Biologically it is needed and healthy, emotionally it is restorative and creatively it is regenerative. This is so powerful! 


Here are some ideas that might help you in your efforts: 


  1. GO OUTSIDE!  Have you ever tried plein air painting/drawing/sketching/sculpting/dancing/writing/photographing/playing music? Go. Try. It.  Take your stuff and go outside.
  2. Meditate.  Open a window, take a walk, sit on a porch.  Sit and meditate to get yourself into a mindful state of being and absorb the sensations around you.  Let them fill you and inspire.
  3. Go exercise.  Do some outdoor cardio.  Breathing is the first thing you do when you are born and the last thing you do when you die.  It is biologically basic, instinctual and very grounding.  When you are in a good, healthy cardiovascular exercise (per doctor’s orders for your health always) your brain shuts up and energy goes to your breath and the rhythm of your movement.  It is So. Grounding.  So good for you.
  4. Get that fresh air.  I don’t care what your day has in store for you- get some fresh air- as much fresh air as you can.  Open windows.  Take walks.  Take breaks.  Tap into the magnificent renewal energy that is all around you during the change in seasons. 
  5. Meet your organismic needs.  Drink enough water.  Eat 3 healthy meals.  Eat healthier ingredients.  Sleep for 7 hours.  Practice good hygiene.  This combined with the increased natural flow of energy will launch you forward. 
  6. Meet your emotional needs.  What are you feeling?  Do you need to feel it and de-rubble, do you need to “treat” it and feel better? Be honest, be open and meet. Your. Needs. 


And finally, of course, come to counseling! Let me support you moving forward and creating your best life.  You are worth it.  The life you will live when you do the work is worth it.  Natural periods of potent energy like this are an ideal time to start working changes in your life, and I’m here to help!
