Moving Forward Through Change

Moving Forward Through Change

Moving forward through change with emotional cycles of deep sadness combined with new opportunities, is the fact that I’m creating a new chapter in my life. As the World reshapes itself hour by hour, I engage with curiosity and continue to rediscover my Self moment to moment.

First of all, I find I really love Light. To catch first light sunrise on the trees, to sit out on the sunny deck, and to paint light especially on stormy days, fills me with a calm inner peace. That’s also the reaction I’ve been hearing lately from people who see my art. I love doing it, but I’m so glad to know others can feel the same thing.

Secondly, even though I don’t have to, moving forward through change helps by sticking to a schedule. I rise early, wear all my favorite clothes and jewelry ( because why not?!), exercise daily, eat healthy meals, and get to bed at a decent hour. I feel refreshed, work on my art and website during the ‘work’ creative day, and have an order to my life.

Thirdly, you want to employ all the senses to immerse yourself deeply in the Now. This moment in time is all that matters. Playing great music, moving your body, lighting scented candles and incense, surrounding yourself with favorite colors, lifts your mood easily. Live with all your favorite things: art, toys, beauty, and plants, anything that is a part of your sweetest moments. All things are just ours for a time, but they are given to be enjoyed completely. That’s part of the human experience.

Next, create something new every day. You become the Alchemist of your Life when you explore and find something that surprises you. Every creation is an experiment in discovering Your Self: what you love, what you can learn or master.

Plus, doing something once, doesn’t make you good at it. This isn’t the bucket list of life. Find a new technique and play with it. Try it with new subject matter, colors, or tools. Create not knowing how it will end up. Allow curiosity and imagination to take over.

Lastly, connect with past friends, catch up with family, and share the good things in life with those you love in anyway possible. Be thankful for virtual parties, visits, and coffee times. Life has always been change, the key is to flow with the times. There’s good to be found.
