The Muse in me


Do you feel like the wind in your sail is gone?
You know you are in the doldrums when:
Your life and your work cease to be exciting or even interesting
You're spent, dried up and worn out
You seek distraction to feel better
You're tired but can't cut back or slow down
You need to be constantly busy to feel alive
Every creative project seems beyond your ability

Do you want wind in your sail again?
Look closely at what might be causing your energy deficit
Ask yourself
Is my muse well fed? What nourishes it?
Am I getting enough rest?
Is my creativity well appreciated and rewarded by others and me?
Am I working in a hospitable setting?
Is there enough variety in my work?

Too much? Are the demands and deadlines and workload daunting?
Am I working on at least one thing that energizes me?
Am I bored?
Is the rest of my life sapping my energy?
Have I taken on too many commitments?
Do frequent distractions derail my creative thoughts?
Do I plan for and insist upon time for myself?
Questions can help you determine if your creative life is in balance or seriously skewed.
Usually we are too busy putting out fires to worry about the water supply!!

Three things to remember
Conserve energy
Create energy
Focus energy

Today's life force resides in YOU
what will you do to fill your sails with wind

How creative can you be this weekend, Feed your spirit!

May the long time sun shine upon you, and the pure light within you guide you on your way
Bless this Earth with Peace
