Creativity often seems like a mystical force we chase, but it’s closer than we think—often found in the quiet lessons of nature, the blank pages of possibility & most likely in our willingness to find it!
Does nature journaling mean we sit in nature & do creative things on paper or does it mean we need to discover & draw natural things? In any event, the act of nature journaling in nature is truly inspired! Nature is resilient & I just love how plants, flowers & all of life is striving in some way to express itself as it pushes forth to bloom.
There are many ways to explore creativity but today we will look at the powerful ways to unearth your creative energy by stepping out of the room you were isolated in & into nature to connect to all your senses.
Stepping Out Into the Light is one way to connect to life. As all things in nature, including you expresses itself so much better in creativity by noticing the smallest little things in all their beauty thanks to their exposure to light. Seek out these moments to take a quick stroll or walk in nature, and make sure you breathe in enough fresh air. Find a spot for quiet reflection where you can engage your senses to smell, hear, touch & become part of it all.
Much like Flowers don’t bloom instantly, we too need to develop ourselves petal by petal; and your creative journey also grows with intention when you place your attention into the small moments between life's busy things...
I love going outside, taking my shoes off & letting the energy flow naturally as i tune into the bird songs. What do you like to do when you go outside?
Rooting Ourselves Through Barefoot Grounding is a sure way to dig for deeper inner-understanding as insights to our creativity often lies beneath the surface, waiting for us to find it within ourselves. Just as a plant’s roots search for nutrients, we, too, need to go inward for stability & push ourselves outward for nourishment. Sharing your experiences, your passions & your emotions through journaling is a mindful practices that brings you in alignment with your inner creative light. This is where self-reflection provides you with a sturdy foundation so that your ideas can blossom into being.
The Balance Between Effort & Releasing the Struggle might just be the answer you are looking for today. Letting go isn't always easy but if we take our lessons from the Flowers, we'll se how they grow through both effort in the beginning to push through the dirt, but later surrender their petals to the sunlight...
It would be wise if we could also find the balance between effort & releasing the struggle to open up to our creativity. Blending the initial focus with moments of release to pass through the first few stages of a project. Then when it's time, to step back in reflection to allow in the inspiration that flows so naturally in nature. Al you need to do is notice when you need to take yourself out of the situation & into the fresh air where your authentic ideas can come to life!
You Will Thrive in the Right Environment where you can shine next to other flowers, not only to be seen, but to be appreciated. There's much to learn when it comes to finding the right environment for you, but you'll know how to spot the positive, supportive ones where you'll have room to grow, space to succeed & are surrounded by the people & experiences that also love you for who you are. Sharing inspirations, connecting together & ultimately finding your creative voice amongst a blossoming community where no single flower is trying to outwit or overshadow your glorious splendour.
Creating that environment with Essential Oils will help you so much! And in this video from last week we take a look at creating a blend we call "Romantic Destinations" Have you seen it yet?
Watch it below!
Time in nature teaches us so much about nurturing, choosing the right environment & finding the inspirational fuel that ignites creativity!
Mindfulness, creativity & greatness starts in nature. It is there where we find the evidence of beauty as it fills us with the wisdom, resilience & observation skills to spark a renewed perspective on life's cycles & where we are at that moment.
It won't matter if you are writing, drawing, painting, colouring in or simply taking a deep breath outside to kick start a brainwave idea... looking from the inside outward is like being part of nature where you can notice your own patterns.
This inner journey is one like that of a flower, as you struggle through the dirt, open up your petals, reach for the sun & allow life to unfold, so too will you bloom into what you are meant to be. Continue showing up, reminding yourself of your creative potential & the beauty you have inside as your creative rhythm taps you into greater growth.
Remember to let every petal unfold as your journey reveals itself naturally & with all its glory for all to see.
Much Love
