We are all creative in some way.
Some more than others, but just like a muscle in our body our creativity “muscle” must be worked for it to be able to grow and get strong. You are probably creative in ways that you never realized that you were using your creativity before. If you like to cook and present food in a manner that is appealing to you, the way you decorate your house, the pride you take in your work and how you dress. These can all be forms of creative expression. I’m going to share with you some of the things that I do daily to express my creativity so that you may be able to think how you do so as well or how to improve upon yours.
Exercise
This is a way that I love to express my creativity. From both my workouts and work ins I am able to cultivate creativity. I can play with the reps, sets, weight, exercise selection and order, rest period, environment, time of day and type of resistance used. That is a lot that can go into just doing a few simple movements that I really enjoy. I also love going for hikes with the dogs to the park where we climb across fallen logs, do some working in here and then of course stacking rocks. The stacking is a great way to be creative. There are the big heavy oddly shaped rocks that need to be balanced upon each other and at the end is a beautiful statue that sometimes stands for a while and sometimes not.
Writing
This is a classic way to express creativity and probably my favorite. I have come to the point that I LOVE TO WRITE. I am smiling to myself right now while putting this down. It allows me to express myself on so many levels and I have great satisfaction in doing so. Each thing that I put out I put some of myself into and always will make sure that I give it my best since that is what I want to give of myself.
The Creativity of My Body
All of the things that I do for my body from what I eat, how I exercise, how much I sleep, the water I drink and how I feel about myself all express themselves in a lovely work of art which is my physical body. This is something that I want to feel good about expressing to myself and others. Each and every one of you should see your body as a work of art and creatistic expression and take control of what it is saying about you.
It sounds simple and is. Go out and be creative. Find something that suits you well and run with it. You’ll be amazed at how great you feel and what you want to create next.
Have a Great Day!
