Time for Creativity

It has been a calm week without much happening. I am still looking for work so my time has been taken up with that. There aren't many jobs to apply for and online applications can take a great deal of time. I persevere onto a better life.

How has this impacted my creative life? I haven't been able to get into my studio all week. My brain is totally fried from being on the computer job hunting. Maybe my brain is fried because I haven't been in my studio. A creative outlet is so necessary for our well-being. Being creative releases stress and tension. It allows our mind to rest from concrete thoughts and just "be." That feeling that whatever I do will be right. There are no rules, no expectations, no set of directions that I must follow. It is just my muse - whatever I create is without judgement. Certainly someone else may look at what I have created and feel that it is wrong but that doesn't diminish my creativity. It is just one person's opinion of one piece of art. They do not know where I am coming from and I do not know where they are coming from.

My goal for the week is to be creative everyday - even if it is only for five minutes. I bought a blank journal last week. I think I will make it my Creativity Journal for my studio. A place where I can document my creative endeavors just as I do with my journal where I write my thoughts nearly every day.

What is your creative goal? For the day? For the week? For the month? For the year? For your life? It may seem like a big endeavor that requires lots of planning and expectations. It is your creative goal, it feeds your spirit, it is a piece of who you are. Live your creativity and your being will be better for it.

Enjoy!
