Harness the Creativity Within to Regain Control of Your Life

A friend of mine recently shared this quote by inspirational author Roy T. Bennett and my immediate response was full understanding with every molecule in my being. Navigating circumstances outside our control can be a huge energy and inspiration drainer. Many of us around the globe have been impacted in some measure by the Covid pandemic. Social isolation. Financial strain and economic uncertainty. Illness and loss. Shifting priorities or increased responsibilities. All of these factors impact our health and well-being whether there is a pandemic or not. My personal experience, as well as professional experience in the mental health realm, has proven that exercising creativity releases tension, provides healthy distraction, brings clarity of purpose and vision for direction. What you create occurs not only with paint to canvas or other artistic outlets but also through fostering opportunities and connections – knocking on every conceivable door! This month let’s focus our energy on what we can create and not on what is beyond our control! It is Springtime after all and an awesome time for rebirth and rejuvenation! Perhaps a little creative inspiration, too.
