Find your Inner Artist

Find your inner artist with 3 essential Basics needed in a chaotic world. When life gets hard, we need to do art more than ever. Life’s Essentials are 1) Nature, immersion of all the senses in the body, 2) Connection in every safe way possible, and 3) the Art of Creativity, losing ourselves to find ourselves again.

First of all, we must bring ourselves into the present. We are the sum total of our past experiences, family, and teachers. Honor that. It kept us alive. But now it’s time to take a step back and be truly present. Let’s create our New Normal with Art as our guide.

Get into whatever Nature is around you. Immerse all your senses in the smells, colors, and sounds of the land. Feel the Sun on your face. Experience the power of rebirth in the trees. In addition, observe the movement of some body of water, even if just on the internet. Next, Breath in the pungent scents of new life. You are part of the cycle of life, too. Find your path.

To find your inner artist means you get your body moving. Look for a new beauty every day. Then, Photo it as a record of this moment in time. This is your now reality, your truth. Pause to drink it in. Begin there to find yourself.

Secondly, find safe ways to connect again. We need community. What can you say or do to uplift someone you know at this time? A call, an email, or a card can mean so much these days. Let’s expand our awareness to others and feel good again.

Third, follow your creative path. The world is the masculine energy of schedules, deadlines, and the power of control. Today, we need to balance that very old energy with the Feminine inner power of creation, intuition, and instincts.

The Feminine is doing art, seeking beauty, and losing ourselves in the process. This is how art heals. We each have both within us. Balance requires the big crowds, constant travel, and draining overstimulation, to shift to the magical essence of the inner artist. Create art space to open to the whispers calling your name.

Get all 3 of the Essentials and find your Inner Artist at Dragonfly’s Art of Creativity. Let’s use art to keep us connected and guide us in healing. The world, and each of us, needs this now. Make this our new normal.
