Hey there, fabulous friend!
Guess what? I've officially joined the cootie club! Yep, got my first cold in five years. But hey, I'm taking it in stride because it's a reminder that I'm still human, right? Plus, it gives my immune system a little workout. 💪
Today, I'm exploring a topic that's close to my heart: creativity and its magical connection to happiness and intuition. I used to think creativity was reserved for the artsy types, thank you societal conditioning, but it turns out it's for everyone, including you and me!
Creativity is a gateway to joy and self-discovery, whether it's needle felting (my obsession), cooking up a storm in the kitchen, or even rearranging your sock drawer. It's like a little gift we give ourselves whenever we let our imagination run wild.
But you know what's even cooler? Creativity isn't just good for the soul; it's good for the brain, too! Studies show that flexing our creative muscles can reduce stress, boost mood, and even enhance our problem-solving skills. Who knew doodling could be so powerful?
I reflect on my journey of challenging the notion of perfection and how it held me back from fully embracing my creative side. Spoiler alert: imperfection is where the magic happens! It’s almost a necessity in felting. That’s why I love it so much. Embrace the “what the heck is this going to be” process.
So, here's my challenge to you: take a moment today to do something just for the fun of it. Whether it's painting, gardening, or belting out your favorite song in the shower, let your creativity flow and see where it takes you.
And remember, it's not about perfection but the joy of creating something uniquely yours. So embrace your intuition, and let's raise the frequency of this world!
Until next time, pokey pokey. (Also what we call needle felting in this house.)
With love and creativity,
