So, today's page is an art therapy exercise for me. I typed up a sequence of words, starting with the word creativity. What do I need to be able to be creative? First of all, I need to be happy. If I try to create while sad, I can do it, but it feels like I am in a rut and can't think of the next step. When I am happy, I can be more lively and productive. Then it went on from there--well, what do I need to have happiness? Harmony--in my family, in my body, in my life. What do I need to feel harmony? Strength--in my thoughts, and in my actions. What makes me feel strong? Confidence--in what I think and what I do. What gives me confidence in those things? Having GRATITUDE for them. I am able to think the way I do. I am able to do what I want to do--whether it's run or lift something or create something. In the end, Gratitude is the underlying thing that I need to focus on in order to be able to be creative. It is my foundation, and something I will strive to recognize daily.
