3 things to chew on, take with you, & activate your creative energy
Space
Question: How can you create a sacred, creative space in your home?
Reflection: Whether you’re living with roommates, partners, parents, pets … I’ve been thinking lately about the power of space and where our energy travels.
Action: Clear your space with light or deep cleaning, lighting candles/incense, and cultivating a space that feels good for you this week. Notice the expansion of power that happens here.
Explore
Question: What’s the difference between exploring vs. conquering something new?
Reflection: For me, I think of control and playfulness. A simple shift in wording and mindset can be all the difference.
Action: Move into a place/mindset of exploration when you begin something.
Rituals
Question: Do you ever pair rituals together?
Reflection: During our session last night, we talked about an art/yoga/meditation space and how one can make that same physical space feel different. I suggested pairing it with a ritual … perhaps it’s rolling the yoga mat up before/after each use, mediating in only candlelight … using different lighting, intentions, and practices when you begin using your space for specific purposes.
Action: Try it! Think/journal for a few minutes of what rituals/acts you can pair together before doing something with more intention.
next week ~ join us for another locals meet-up in Columbus, Ohio!
QUOTES HEARD:
during slow making session + Artist Way support group
My joy - I’m proud of myself for doing what I said I would do and showing up tonight
Take yourself seriously with a sense of ease ~ aim for flow, not for control
I’m so brain dead, so I’m going to make a list!
Music puts your brain in a different place
Friends with more creatives
Intentional: cultivating play
I never celebrate myself! I need to take my time to slow down and do this more
The Artist Way Support Group (AWSG) gave me a sense of self assurance that I needed
During the AWSG I felt like there was constantly new rocks that I was turning over .. new things I was learning… about myself and my creativity
I feel like I really needed this tonight!!!! So happy I logged on
