Self-Care mesSage

Self-judgment, harsh expectations, overscheduling tasks, not valuing your talent and your craft, a need for downtime, a hunger for soul food, a need to reconnect to your creative joy

There’s a money myth out there that healers are broke-ass hippies and that creatives are starving artists, and it doesn’t have to be this way! It actually isn’t this way at all. There are healers, creatives, and artists everywhere who are building abundant, prosperous lives with their craft. You too can use your passions and your creativity to fill your world with joy and abundance. Allow them to support and guide you on your journey, and diligently feed your inner artist trusting that it is a productive pursuit. Your “art ” may be a shot of daily yoga with a side of delightful conversation or maybe it’s expressive dance that clears your stress. Whatever it is, allow playful art to seep into your life. (The real, unpolished, uncontrived play that floats your soul. Do more of that!) Indulge your inner creator by diving into something you’ve been inspired to try, with no judgment and with no expectation except the expectation to experiment. Your self-expression will nourish the miraculous light you’ve got inside, and incredibly serendipitous opportunities will surface when you are out in the world enjoying your life as art.

• How often do you schedule in time for creative play? And how spontaneous are you about diving into something that looks like it will be fun?
• Are you leaving time for experimentation? How harshly do you judge your initial attempts?
• What type of artist are you? What is your “life as art”?
