Whether it's dancing, eating, exercising, writing, singing, sports, gym, reading, or simply just going for long adventurous walks in the bush or on top of a mountain make sure you do it regularly.
They say self-care is essential and I have to tell you after all these years it's the most important thing. It brings a sense of calm that nothing else will and without it, I am not sure my journey would be where it is today.
Aside from my faith, prayers, and reading my bible, my writing has become the centre of my being. It keeps my mind and heart healthy because I am able to relieve myself in ways that music, food, and adventures can't.
I am almost certain it's the same for everyone. Each of us has something that we plug into - leaving us whole, grounded, and repaired. I write until I feel better and I don't mean within my body but my heart and mind. Until I get tired, really.
It's a beautiful thing to feel and I can guarantee it's an incredible thing to observe too. I have my earphones on and at times I find myself dancing or swaying the rhythm the music provides and before I know it my body is lighter and my mind tired but calmer.
Meditation - it could be I guess but I do this regularly too.
You have to know that the words I write don't always make sense because the moments leading up to my writing are generally an emotionally overwhelming state of urgency. A very, very powerful force!
It's also best for me to write not speak not only will it all come out wrong I find the person on the receiving end becomes incredibly overwhelmed if not highly confused. Unless they can truly understand and appreciate who I am. but even that is a stretch at times because of my energy.
I guess I found over the years some things are just better left unsaid and while I realised writing the words I couldn't say down was the only way I would ever be free I just started writing and couldn't stop.
It's funny you know! If I don't write I hear myself over and over again saying the poetry to myself. Crazy? Probably but the best kind of artists are! Even now writing I find myself giggling and smiling at the conversations I have here with myself! Lol...
I don't think there was ever a sane artist, musician, dancer, or writer ever born. We are either incredibly heartbroken, happy, emotionally strung out on love, grieving, or on the greatest discovery of our life!!
That's where the magic comes from... A creator's mind on the end of whatever puts them close enough to the madness that it's created from it. It truly is magic the way it touches people without ever laying a finger on them!
The way it uplifts you or leaves you feeling whole is absolute magic!! Such a beautiful way to share everything the heart, mind, and soul feel through the art of expression.
Magic Vibes...
