The title to this week’s video pretty much explains it all. We are anticipating and preparing for creative opportunity in what ever way that it would reveal itself to us in our lives. For some of us it might be some kind of artistic endeavor of the creation of art either on 2D surfaces or in 3D with some kind of sculpting, weaving, or other more tangible forms of art. For some it could be the creation of sound, music, dance, theater, or some performative art. Yet for others it could be a project at work that lights us up and gets the creative juices flowing. The creation might not even be a new thing; it could be something that had been put on the back burner or had snuck away into the farther reaches of our mental or physical storage closets that has suddenly sprung back to life and is now beginning to blossom.
This can be stimulating, evolutionary, and emotionally rich time, but there is the very real possibility that we may get so engrossed in the new or revived thing that we forget to do the things we call self-care. We forget to get enough sleep, or we aren’t allowing our brains down-time to refresh. Perhaps we forget to eat well or exercise as we are usually wont to do. Perhaps our boundaries dissolve in our immersion in the creativity we are reveling in, and then, we crash. We have depleted our energetic store house, our skin becomes hypersensitive, we get cranky and may even begin to lash out. We become the people we don’t want to be in the world.
Has this ever happened to you? This week’s spread gives us some pointers around receiving creative opportunities in a more healthful way. Come along for the ride.
