Launch Creatively into Spring

6 Ways to Launch Creatively into Spring from a Creativity Coach

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?)  Today,  I want to help you capitalize on the powerful impact nature and weather has on us and our creative process and how you can use that important “change energy.”

Counseling for Creative People and HSPs

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).  This is especially powerful because during a time of change our senses are more 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 this “change energy.”  And- the best, most mindful way to capitalize on this energy, is to get into it!

Creativity Coach Tip: Get into the Energy!

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, emotionally it is healthy and creatively it is regenerative. This is so powerful! ​

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

Counseling for Artists Advice 1: Go Outside!

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.

Therapy for Artists Tip 2: Meditate

 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.

Therapy for Creatives Idea 3: Move your Body

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.

Creativity Coaching Thought 4: Lots of Fresh Air

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. 

Coaching for Creative People Tool 5: Give your Body What it Needs

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. 

Counseling for Creative People Option 6: Give your Heart What it Needs

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. 

Creativity Counseling and Creativity Coaching for Creative People

In this article, I have tongue-in-cheek used Creativity Coaching and Creativity Counseling interchangeably.  Of course, they are completely different services.  What I do want to illustrate here, though, is that with both, you can make strides in building healthy creative practices for yourself, and getting to know your creative personality.  Making healthy life changes, like mindful use of creative energy to boost your creative practices, is one such example!
