How Blogging Enhances Creativity and Well-Being

I have noticed, when I am creative in the morning, my mental health gets an incredible boost and the day flows magnificently!

Within an 8 week course I have been doing, she has challenged us to do something creative, that we haven’t done before that will also stretch us. I of course gravitated to photography, thats my wheelhouse, my home, my comfort, but that’s not enough. I then grabbed my sketch book and thought ok Ive had the odd urge to get back to this. No, its not this.

This morning, after I posted my Lens-Artists Photo Challenge blog for this week, I felt that flow and I knew what my creative project would be.

Start my day blogging, whether its just writing, images or whatever. Allow my creativity to flow. Truthfully, I am hoping this will also help dissipate some deep anger and frustration – creativity and artistic abilities is much more free flowing than the resistance and roughness of anger and frustration. Here is the reality, no amount of bitching or complaining about the current “free” system will change anything. Making the choice to step into an even more empowered stance, that yes will have an energetic and monetary exchange for this to happen, feels much more aligned with my soul.

I began writing this blog a couple days ago, at lunch on Wednesday as I was sitting in my back yard with my dog, we were both in our own little world for a bit and things shifted in such a big way. Blogging has helped me immensely, it takes me back to when my passion for photography really blossomed, my true authentic soul feel. I began writing, in a form I hadn’t in awhile. I even could feel my ego beginning to step in, I had to say stop outloud, when I re-read what I wrote yesterday at lunch, after work, the words hit my soul. A true connection that also wrapped around and immersed within our creative challenge to share next week. This was just the beginning. I have one more step before I complete it. What I do know is when you choose to step into your full truth, everything around you IS forced to either shift with you, or away. Especially choosing to step into it, with confidence regardless of who else is involved and regardless of their status. Never be afraid to speak up, even with someone who appears to have a higher education.
