Propagating Creativity

I was told once that "weeds" simply need attention too, not the "I'm going to rip you out of the Earth if it's the last thing I do" kind of attention, simply being present with it and acknowledging it's being and gently relocating it.

Often times in life we undergo a wide variety of stresses. Sometimes negative emotions are considered the "weeds" in the garden and are either ignored or roughly dealt with. These emotions simply are asking that we tend to ourselves.

At first it may seem like there is not time or energy to take a break, get a massage, journal, exercise, allow the inner kid to play on a swing, or have a gathering of friends. These activities actually will help a person stay balanced and allow for more time and energy.

Weather happens. What can you do with it? Where are the open doors? Can you build your own? What can be grown with the compost of a day you recently had?

When was the last time you made chocolate cupcakes, listened to your favorite song and danced in the mirror, or hiked a new trail?

Love your life, propagate it :-)
