Making space in my diary for creativity matters to me. There will always be lists, so I choose to just do it.β€οΈβπ₯
Last weekend I spent some time making candles π―οΈ I always look forward to creating space every few months to slow down and make something. I love being creative. Knitting, poetry, art, music, dance πΆπ§Άπ¨ Anything that helps me move out of my head and into the present moment, which creativity always does.πͺ
There is something especially grounding about candle making. Choosing clean soya wax, picking the fragrance, and using recycled jars I have been collecting for months so they can have a second life πΏ
Making things slowly helps me drop out of my head and back into my body. It settles my nervous system in a way few things do π
I love creating π
I love giving π
If they turn out well, they will become Christmas gifts π
If not, I will light them for myself and let my evenings glow a little brighter β¨
Either way, I get to receive from my own creativity.π
And that feels like a gift in itself π―οΈπ±
If you feel the urge to be creative, just do it.β€οΈβπ₯
