The surprising benefit to being creative is how meditative it can be. You might think you can't meditate but if you are able to get out of your own way while being creative you will notice your breathing deepens, your pulse slows down, and your whole body relaxes.
Using creativity as a meditative practice on a daily basis can transform your life.
Creativity Ideas that are particularly relaxing
- Beading
- Crocheting
- Drawing
- Painting
Remember the key is to get out of your own way while you are creating and not worrying about it being perfect. It is meant to be fun and enjoyable. As long as you enjoy what you are creating it can be a transformational process.
The more you use this creativity as a means to relax the more you will notice your anxiety becoming less and less when you are doing other activities. The easier you will find it is to take risks that are necessary to reach your goals.
Create for you and discover the dance of life more fun!
Thank you Morgan, this is SO true for me! When I am in the flow of creative work I lose all sense of time and it is definitely a form of meditation. I not only receive insights and ideas for whatever project is in front of me, I also tend to receive other gifts as well. Best wishes, Linda
