We are all creative beings

Creativity is a gift from the "Creator" to us.  We have all been created by one universal, vital force that I personally call God.  Simultaneously we are creating our own lives.  It is like if God lets us co-create with him.   We have the the canvas, the oil paints, the brushes, and we are given the opportunity to create our own painting, our piece of art.  A piece of art we have to master.


This challenge, the challenge of living and creating our own lives can be very scary and overwhelming.  I know that I feel that way.  Very scared of living this challenge.  This is a lot of what this blog is about.  This journey, this challenge.


I have, though, learned some things about this personal journey.  I still have a long way to go.  One thing, though, is that I have to be creative about living my life.  That creativity is a great energy we receive and share with God.  This creativity manifests very often in art.  But art is everywhere, in all of us, not jus in the obvious, like music or painting.  It is in all the things we do every day.  I exists in little and big tasks.  We can be creative in what we do every day or we can simply be flat.


Sometimes our creativity gets blocked.  A lot of times it is because of fear.  Sometimes life seems to overwhelming to feel creative about it.  We have been taught to often to look at the great picture and get scared and blocked.


Staying in the present helps me start to get un blocked.   The truth is that creativity exists only in the present. Imagination can be very big, but creativity exists only in the present moment.  To keep it simple, we do not have to worry about my WHOLE life.  The present is a good place to start finding our creative selves.  From the present, being creative about our lives starts feeling less scary and more joyful.  When we start feeling this joy, we get more playful with our lives, happier. .. Then we start creating.  Co creating our day, co creating it accompanied by God!


I want to share some words on being blocked about our creativity from the book The Artist Way, Julia Cameron.:


"Creativity is God energy flowing through us, shaped by us, like light flowing through a crystal prism.
When we are clear about who we are and what we are doing, the energy flows freely and we experience no strain.  When r=we resist what that energy might show us or where it night take us, we often experience a shaky, out -of-control feeling.  We want to shut down the flow an regain our sense of control.  We slam on the psychic brakes.  Every creative person has myriad ways to block creativity.  The choice to block always works in the short run an fails in the long run."


Final note.
When I waked up this  morning I was feeling very flat, blocked, like if my creative energy for my day was not flowing at all.  I started doing small tasks, my every morning tasks, slow and fully present.  I recognized that fear and anxiety were waking up with me.  It was good writing this blog.  Writing in the morning is good for every one and enables the flow of vital creativity go through you.  I am ready for a beautiful creative day.  I do not know where it is going to take me.  For now I am going for a nice walk. I hope you are also ready for a beautiful, creative day!
