Find the Flow

Why do I make spelling mistakes when I write in cursive and none when I print?  I think it’s because when I write in cursive I flow better…I’m not always thinking about the spelling (perfectionism.)  I’m just trying to get the ideas across and even if the spelling is close…that’s OK…even though it was not perfect.  It’s the feelings of the text and the ideas that come up that count…the rest can be messy.  Cool.  So, intuitively this tells me that I have the internal flow…my purpose now is to get the ideas out, to share what I know with others even if the process seems “messy” or not put together in some “coherent/cohesive” way right now.  How do I do it?  Go for it…don’t worry about a finished product..write from the emotions…write what you fear…write for yourself…write for claification…write to free yourself from yourself…find that child inside yourself that is the essence of you…keep the vitality chakra open – let it shine and have fun with it.  Keep making new discoveries. 

Have you started writing yet?  Afraid of not doing it exactly right?  Afraid to get messy?  Afraid of not making mistakes?  Afraid of not being perfect?  What other mistakes have you made in the past?  When have you “gotten messy?”    Why not write about experiences like these.  You don’t need be  ashamed of them.  After all, they were just learning experiences.  What did you learn from them…that is the question.  Write about that.  Get your story out.  Get into the creative flow.  Ask the universe…Mother Mary…God…whoever or whatever inspires you for help and guidance.  Start writing.  You will find the flow of your life…where are you flowing next?  That is for you to discover.   

Looking Outward Looking Inward

Is there a proper way to face when you are writing?  I know that the Native Americans placed a great importance on the 4 compass directions.  Right now I feel as if I have to face outward...towards nature...that is looking out the back windows at the snow on the trees.  Why have I been putting off writing my first blog entry?  I know that by doing this, it is stifling me in the other areas of my life...making me more tense and even more coiled up inside...less creative...less of a good listener...less adventurous.

My 3 goals for 2008

• blog
• be a better listener
• have more adventures...be more adventurous

 It is when you're not doing what you are supposed to be doing in life that you feel stuck.  So that's it...I feel stuck.  I have a zillion ideas floating around in my brain for new projects at home and at work..I need to do what my Rob Brezsny Art Voice Horoscope (RealAstrology.com) says and

"Psyche yourself up for a major campaign to cut the crap so the essence can shine."

That's it...I want my essence to shine.

Yellow chakra.             

Hmm.  Maybe I need to work on that one.

What do you need/want to work on?  Health issures, relationship issues, career issues, anger issues, creativity issues, adventure issues?  If you start keeping a journal and just start writing many things will start to happen.  You will get the emotions out of your being and onto paper.  You will make discoveries about yourself that you might not have realized in any other way.  You will start finding out who you truly are.  Stop making excuses.  Make a list of your 3 goals for 2008.  Make a list of your issues, your desires, your hopes, your fears.  Then, as my horoscope says...cut the crap...stop doing what's not important...pick up a pen or sit at the the computer and see what is waiting to come to life!  Look inward...Look outward...Look around you...and begin.
