Finding the Magic: Creative Journaling Challenge

I came across this creative journaling challenge on the ABCcreativity blog. You can sign up on Andrea's blog for her free Creativity 101 e-course. It's fantastic. Here's the creative journaling page I created for Finding the Magic.

{creativity 101} lesson two: explore your creative genius

Your creative genius wants to be heard and has amazing things to say.

{creativity 101} lesson two has us learning about journaling and how it helps us to get into contact with our creative geniuses. We answer journaling prompts and just see where they take us. The bonus homework assignment is to take the inspiration which comes from our journaling and use it to create something new. Here's what I created, what came to be from my journaling.

Journaling reads: I want to live a creative and inspired life. I want to surround myself with people and things that inspire me. I want to be a photographer, an artist, and inspiration to others. I want to create everyday.

"Any time we see what we want, rather than blindly accepting what it is - we are dreaming." (Andrea Schroeder)

Here are some of my dreams:
- I would like to create a strong group of women for friendships, creative souls I can relate to
- I would like to join the gym, cut back on caffeine and stop smoking
- I would like to find a new apartment by spring, a place I can make into a home
- I would like to pay off some bills and start saving more
- I would like to feel comfortable leaving the house

"When you are focused on connecting with your creative genius and let it express - miracles will occur." (Andrea Schroeder)

When I repeat the words "I am a creative genius" in my head I know that I can do anything. It's up to me to live the creative life I have imagined for myself. I am a creative being and I need to trust in that. I need to believe it. I need to act upon it. For it is up to me what dreams I accomplish. It is up to me to shine.

I trust my creativity.

I am learning to trust in my creativity. I just need to believe it, to feel it, to breath it into my very being. Writing this affirmation down makes me feel powerful. Makes me feel as if I can do anything. I can make anything happen. The more I trust, the stronger I will be. The more I trust, the more I will accomplish. My creativity can take me anywhere I want to go. If I trust in that creativity I will move in positive directions.
