Do you feel creative? Inspired? Motivated to make some changes for the betterment of your home environment?
Good for you!
Just a reminder that you, by your nature, are a creative genius!
Can you recognize the colors and styles that make your heart sing? Can you close your eyes and envision the way you want a room to look or to function? Or can you just imagine how you want it to feel? {That’s a great starting point!} Or do you just need to clear out some clutter that has built up around your already functioning rooms? Make a few decisions? Give a few things away?
If you’re starting at the beginning, you may not want gobs of color or flowers or coordinating file folders, or maybe you do! No matter! Whatever your style happens to be, dream about what you want, envision the feeling and style that will make you and your family feel most at home, and take baby steps to implement a plan to bring that vision into reality.
This is creativity.
You don’t necessarily need a glue gun. Or a paint brush. Or know how to use Photoshop. You just need to begin by tuning into your own likes and dislikes.
I hope you will use your creative powers to improve the function and organization and beauty of your spaces by: recognizing what you have; giving thanks for all the abundant blessings in your lifeand asking for help in creating more light and life by bringing the “matter” in your home into order.
Creating makes us feel most alive!
What little thing can be done today to move your plan into action? I wish you success and fun in the journey!
Love,
Jacque
I feel stuck just trying to not be sick and help our boys not be sick – like “Oh, yeah, I should do that too.” But I snuggled my boys a lot today and just drank it in. And made a healthy dinner. And we read scriptures together and wrote in our journals and I did yoga and went on an easy walk (still not feeling 100%) and we got homeschool done. I have so many noisy corners in my house that need to be cleaned/decluttered/organized and to do lists I long to attend to – and to have the mental space to attend to. But we were happy.
I hear you Heather! Even in your under par state, you are doing all the essentials. Wow, that is amazing! When you get yourself back to full speed, watch out! Which I hope will be very soon. Much love, xo Oh, and don’t you think that it is productive just to have looked at all the spots you want to address? It seems like when I have thought through what needs to happen, I can cut directly to the chase when I do tackle it…don’t have to figure it out first or make decisions about it because I already did that when I was looking and thinking…
