Creative Energy Is Nourishing Good Food
January 21, 2010
Creative energy is nourishing good food.
It is the vital rich substance of life not the icing on the cake. It’s not something that we should only have if we have time left over.
How awful is that! That we only consider creative energy useful and important if it makes us money, meets a goal or does something else tangible in our material world.
Now I understand that we need a strong sense of mission and purpose in the world, I’m not talking about losing that for sure.
But what I am saying is that creative inspirational energy is vital substance. We can’t and shouldn’t live without it and yet we pretend that it’s childs play or something that we do only when we have extra time.
It is not.
Creative energy helps our brain feel good, it keeps our minds stay at their sharpest and it enhances anything else that we do in life. How great is that! 
On this retreat I have been restored. I have purposefully accessed my creative, inspirational energy every day, day in and day out, even when I didn’t feel like it. You know how that goes?
Usually you have to be in the mood. Eek, if you waited for that to happen, given this modern busy world, you would almost never experience it.
Not good enough.
Part of the experiment of the retreat was for me to learn how to access this inspirational energy every day no matter what. It didn’t matter if I was foggy, sleepy or out of ideas. I showed up every day and did the same set of process that I had invented for the retreat and when I showed up, inspiration showed up with me, even if it was in tiny droplets at times.
That was my experiment. Can I get it to show up when and where I want to and not on it’s own whim?
No more waiting on the muses folks! They are too fickle for my tastes. I love the muses don’t get me wrong, but I also like to get things done!
I have ‘accomplished’ more on this retreat than in the past few years. And I did it with an effortless ease that made it enjoyable. That’s the trick – it’s like an invisible tightrope – when you access pure inspiration, there is almost no effort.
I have done more good writing, had more fun, more rest, more renewal and peace of mind and on top of all that, the icing on the cake is that I enjoyed the whole darned process.
Now how is that for the proof of the vital substance that creative energy is!
Only 8 days left on my Creative Retreat. I’ve already decided to do a second one to write a whole other book. Yay, yay, yay!
Today go for the gold – that vital vein of inspirational energy that lives right beneath the surface. You won’t be sorry.
Yours in the creative vital substance that makes life worth living,
Annie
