Everyone is creative. Not one person is not creative. Yet how often do we shy away from allowing ourselves to be creative and accepting our self as a creator!
The sign Leo is all about creativity and allowing ourselves to be creative. In this way Leo rules creativity as well as children. As a child, whether we can understand it or not, we are an affirmation of the creativity of our parents. We are specially designed and created by their DNA, relationship, and time together. Perhaps this is why children often celebrate their creativity so naturally and uninhibited. They know themselves are the product of creativity and as infused as a creator in their own way.
Stoking the creative fire is not just for children though, it is for everyone. We are all creators and we are all a perfectly designed creation. We are all meant to be constantly creating – and it is up to us to decide what kind of way we shall create.
When is the last time you allowed your creativity to create just for the sake of it?
When is the last time you took out crayons and let your imagination run wild?
When is the last time you looked at all of your actions as an act of creativity?
Playfulness gives way to creativity. Sometimes we have to get out of the way of our daily to-do list, and allow ourselves to play. To play can mean to take a walk, to dance to your favority song, to arrange flowers…it’s to do something with the sheer intention of enjoyment. Not to take a walk so you can burn calories or dance to your favorite song because you think you are supposed to, but to enjoy each action and allow it to infuse you with joy and lightness.
It is through playing that we feed our creativity fire. Playing and joy allow us to see ourselves as creators, and remember that we are creating our life and happiness right NOW!
Play during this Leo New Moon. Make time for something that makes you smile. Be courageous to trust in yourself as the creator of your life. Be wild!
