Power to be Creative – Part 3…
Hi everyone,
Happy Spring to you all. After spending a fantastic weekend away at Magnetic Island, to share some quality time with my son who was fortunate enough to escape the coldness of the Southern states – we are once again back in Townsville 🙂
As I sit and contemplate our August Power (to be Creative), my attention is drawn to those who find August a month of retreat rather than creativity…. It’s good to be reminded of the fortune of being in warm climate, where winter is more conducive to be creative than summer – summer in the tropics becomes too hot… A.K.A ‘going troppo’ as opposed to the ‘winter blues’ in the Southern states, it’s something to be aware of and to prepare for. It’s important to always keep our individual Powers near no matter what time of year, as they are ours and will only work under our command. Otherwise they will lay dormant and won’t empower anyone.
I understand of course in winter it’s very hard to be motivated, just as it is up here in the heat of summer, but remember to simply keep going – keep taking those tiny little baby steps – in order to not lose sight altogether. Or else we find ourselves back to square one, each time making that journey to self discovery and self empowerment that little bit more difficult. Certainly ‘withdraw’ when you need to though not to disengage, but rather to become the observer. Observing what’s going on in our own mind will help us see what energy we each put out into the Universe – never to beat ourselves up, but to gain perspective in order to move forward again :)… Because when we are truly honest with ourselves, we must admit it’s never to do with the weather, or with others, or with different situations. But everything to do with my perspective – my view of any situation… So remember to be gentle yet firm with yourself 🙂
Here are the few contributions – thank you again for taking the time and making the effort – I know it can be challenging… I really DO!…
Some find August a challenging month as it’s the end of Winter……………….. (Great recognition, now simply keep going 🙂
Some find August their ‘down’ time and find as soon as Spring comes they feel enthusiasm return………… (Fantastic but as above, simply keep going regardless 🙂
Some used other Powers to practice instead ie Tolerance, Patience, Withdraw, Pack Up and Face……………… (Wonderful, this is what it means to simply keep going because there are always other Powers to practice, THANK YOU, your ability to apply your learning is inspiring 🙂
See you in a few days, lets see what wonderful Power Spring will bring us to practice for the month of September.
Lots of love Annemarie
