Without the flow of creativity life is dry. Routines and structures kill creativity. We rely on structures and we get scared when they are threatened.
We are not rigid beings and we enjoy life when there is change and flow. We came to life to experience our creativity.
What’s gone wrong?
Something gets suppressed inside and our creativity is stifled in time. Giving our power of creativity away by believing what others are telling us will make us happy will and by focusing on external things.
How do we get to that?
A. Learn to step back and observe the mind. ‘What is the quality of my thinking? Is it helping me/taking me towards the truth?
1. Reduce the quantity of thinking.
2. Step back and re-engage with the awareness of who you are.
3. Do not depend on anything external. Take responsibility for creating your internal world. Allow time out in the day just to step back and think about the fact that you can change your life starting with your thinking. We need to have this realisation and experience it, not just understand it. Withdraw from external stimuli.
4. Step back and watch the game. Use visualisations, e.g. like getting off the train of your thoughts or seeing your thoughts to be like clouds passing by. Observing starts to slow down the train, because your attention is moving away from the external. The more you do this the more you get in touch with your self.
B. Drop the resistance and blame game and take the responsibility for wherever you are, because whatever situation you are in it is the creation of your own thoughts and actions. There is no point in resisting something that you have created. If you keep pushing against, it is going to be painful. Accept and decide what you want to feel. Have an aim and objective. Use positive affirmations over and over to affirm what is true for you. If you are not peaceful in that moment, don’t say ‘I am peaceful’ but say ‘I am peace’ which is true, we all have this positive quality in us. You don’t have to believe in truth. Try it and you will experience it. You are the master if your mind.
Putting good quality thoughts into your mind is like pouring pure water into a bucket of muddy water, the negativity will be automatically washed away. You don’t need to unravel the web of chaos/negativity.
