Reclaim Your Powerful You! – Day 22

Divine Inspiration

by Veronica Lee

Do you ever feel inspired to do something creative?  Perhaps you feel the urge to create something, dance, sing, or melt into an art project.  Creative expressions can be extremely joyful and powerful – they can relax our bodies, soothe our minds and help us feel more connected to our spiritual selves, as well as to the Divine.

To be “inspired” is to be in-Spirited!

Inspirations not only move us to do creative things, they can produce amazing results. Our inspirations can be powerful expressions of our true selves.  Artists, authors and athletes often talk about being in the “zone” or “flow” when their activity becomes nearly effortless and they do their best work.  Regardless of how or why this happens, it feels so good it actually feels like Divine inspiration!

Sometimes, after merging with this “zone” we try to figure out how it happened, so we can re-create it at will. Other times, however, we approach a “creative project” with an agenda, time limit, self-doubt and perhaps a load of other baggage (like an obsession to re-create that “zone”).  In these cases, the creative endeavor feels task-oriented, empty or even frustrating.  Likely, the results aren’t so desirable either.

Some of us may have turned our artistry into our profession.  The pressure of making money from our creative work can instantly squeeze the joy right out of it.  Yet, when it works – when time, space, and creative inspiration all come together with great results – the monetary rewards become an added bonus as we get paid to do that which we love.
