Explore with a piece of paper…it will change your life

Posted on by philipdodson

If we want to free ourselves to open up, let go and allow ourselves to flourish from our soul then grab a large piece of paper and whatever pens, pencils, crayons, paints, or other stuff like that lying around and just start to make a mark on the paper.

Do not think it, feel it. Do not think about an outcome, do not worry about what it looks like. We instinctively know what to put on the paper when we align with our feelings and not with our thoughts.

When we have got going then go to what we enjoy and like on the paper and explore more of that. There are no art police looking in, there is no one judging, only ourselves if we go into our thoughts. Just let go and create what you feel.

Then we can apply this process to anything in life…music, writing, talking, exercise, work, cooking, and the choices we make.

We are the captain of our ship, we decide where it sails, we are the creator of our choices, we are the creativity of our lives…we hold back because of our fears and conditioning. When we just do what we feel in this moment and let go, who knows where our choices will take us?

Our opinion of ourselves

We will never rise above the opinion we hold of ourselves.

The only way is to change our opinion to the level our soul desires and not what our mind restricts us to.

It is a simple fact that what we believe we are capable of doing or what we believe we are, is what we can do and what we become.

To change it isn’t easy, it’s a challenge and something that I have struggled with for most of my life.

The journey to changing starts with small steps, like anything one at a time, to replace negative thoughts about ourselves, simply say ‘no don’t want that’ when they come and then at the same time say something positive about ourselves to replace the negative thought.

Gradually, we start to form a habit of positive thought and by not energising the negative, we create space for creativity and positive beliefs that turn into positive action.

The other thing to do is to be more grateful for what we have and to take more time to create more joy in our life. When we feel joyful we feel better about ourselves and become more creative and increase our level of opinion about ourselves.

Like any change it is not about feeling broken, as no one is, it is about wanting to become even better.
