Words for Wellness 6 - Unleash the creative soul within
Creativity is an avenue for fulfilling one’s individual potential and also a way of being of service to the world by sharing what we love and feel drawn to. ~ Donna Goddard, Dance
I am a creative as my words spill forth.
I am in flow as I create my one beautiful life.
I am magic and possibility, and all things wonderful
Every day I’m making friends with my inner creative self
I’m getting in touch with my creative nature, quietening my inner critic, and rekindling my joy in life.
Joy is my guide, and creativity is the method by which I journey forth.

Now more than ever is the time to tap into your inner creative self, to quieten your inner critic and find where the joy is in your life.
It’s time to make friends with your beautiful creative nature and seek the light within you which is seeking to shine brightly for others who need it most. And if that light simply means you feel into it and be at one with it, then let it warm your soul and strengthen your heart.
Do not fear the darkness which bubbles up, the doubts, the fears, the anxiety, or the striving for perfection it evokes. Without the darkness we can not truly appreciate the light.
Tap into your inner creative magic and…..
🌺 Give yourself permission to write
🌼 Allow yourself the freedom to paint
💐 Tap into your design magic and create something amazing
🌸 Release the words which need to be spoken
🌻 Uncover the magical beauty - in food, in gardens, in life
Or you may choose to do none of these and instead…
💜 You may care for someone who needs your support
💛 You may share a smile with another who has no smiles of their own
🧡 You may listen openly and with no judgement
❤️ You may speak from your heart
💚 You may be thankful for everything you have
And you may simply want to step into your shiny, bright self and that’s creativity in itself. Simply being you and letting all your fears, doubts and insecurities fall away.
However you embrace your creative nature is beautiful and right. You don’t have to physically create something to be creative. We are all creating our lives and what we individually bring to our world creates a difference to those around us.
The beauty of it is is that you get to choose the source (how you nourish your creative soul) and the output of your creativity (how you choose to share it with the world) … never let your thoughts be restrained by what you can’t control and instead seek to set free what you can control.
Sometimes our creativity has been restrained and caged within us for far too long, and often needs very little more than acknowledgement and awareness from you for it to bubble forth with sparkle and brilliance. Trust in that.
No one can take away the freedom of your mind, your inner creativity or how you choose to express it.
✏️ Journaling Practice
Pick a subject that inspires and motivates you. This will be a topic that you naturally gravitate to, you’ll know the right one because it makes you talk louder and faster, it energises and excites you; and let’s face it, you know a heck of a lot about it…. just start writing about it, how it makes you feel, why you love it.
📚 Let your words swirl and ebb around you, let them rise and fall
📚 Let your words wrap you in their embrace and keep you warm and safe
📚 Let your words challenge you and push your boundaries
📚 Let your words release the emotions you’ve been holding onto for far too long
But mostly let the words create a knowing in your heart which reveals your path forward and lights a fire within you, and makes your dreams burn brightly with possibility and hope. You are a creative soul and anything is possible.
The tears may fall, the joy may bubble up - the emotions will flow and either way the release from words previously unspoken will be powerful.
Do not seek to control your words or try to manipulate them, for harnessing the words and restricting their flow is death to the creative soul. Living and breathing energy and life force into your words will light up the hearts of those around you and bring joy and comfort to those who need them most.
Listen, write, breathe, repeat and the writer within you will realise the true power of those words. Those who need to read your words will find them where they need to find them and will feel them deeply in their hearts as will begin their own self journey of creative discovery.
💎 Wordweaver
She walks out into the moonlit back garden, the owls hoot softly in the distance making the night feel magical and everything seem possible.
Everything is covered in silver light, ethereal and magical.
She stands in the centre of the garden and raises her hands towards the moon, drinking in its energy and light and also that of the dark shadows cast around her
She spins around and around, filling her soul with the wonder and magic of the night.
She stops, dizzy, and then begins to spin her body the other way, unwinding the energy that she has raised within her.
She comes to a standstill; the world tilts this way and that before it settles before her. "It's all perspective," a voice whispers in her mind.
She laughs aloud her joy and falls down onto the soft grass, placing her hands upon the earth.
They shine silvery in the moonlight, and she follows the energy down, down, into the ground.
She can feel the energy of the moon, the moving and flowing, the waxing and waning.
She then lies back upon the ground and looks up into the starry expanse of the heavens.
She knows who she is and where her place is in this world, and she is free.

🔥 Your Call to Action
Listen to the whisper in your heart which can only be heard when you get quiet and still. What is it saying….What creative activity have you been avoiding, or waiting for a perfect time to start.
Begin it now - it doesn’t need to be perfect, it doesn’t need to be the right time - you simply need to begin.
Paint, draw, write, create, sing, dance - the possibilities are endless. You are the magic of possibility
Keep Smiling, Fi 🌻
