When was the last time you just played, painted or just did something because you wanted to?
Not because it was on your list of things to do or you had to or that it was for some bigger reason/outcome. As adults we can spend so much time doing; planning, organising, working towards getting the end result we want, we can miss the true gift of being present.
Reading and working through the book the Artists Way by Julia Cameron really helped me with this. It is so nourishing and healing to take time out to just be, to create just because, like a child would. Yes, I know there can be lots to get done and it is easy to say 'Well once I have done this I will then take time for me', but I know from experience that often it doesn't happen. If any of this rings true with you, then I say, book out a day, a morning, even a few hours of YOU time to nourish your inner self and heart. Could you set aside time each week for yourself, to be in the moment and do whatever you feel like doing!?
Write it in pen in your diary, make a date with yourself!
You deserve it...You will love it!
I would love to hear how you get on! :)
