Wednesday's Walk - Paying Attention

1/2/2013

As I got out of the car to go into the grocery story, I saw the most incredible sky. I was the only one taking a picture as I went into the store. When I came out, everyone was looking up and taking pictures.
     "If I have made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than any other talent."
                                                                                                                     Isaac Newton

Each Wednesday I want to share something that I have learned as a Creative Living Coach.  I feel that awareness is an important key to moving forward with our life, our dreams, and our creative plans.  Knowing what inspires us, what motivates us, and what makes us happy are all keys to creating the life we have always wanted to live.  I have started taking the time each day to reflect upon what made me peaceful that day, what gave me energy, or what motivated me to paint or write or just dream about what I want to do next.  Awareness -  knowing who you are, knowing what you love, knowing who motivates, or supports you are all very important components of living a creative life. 

This week pay attention to how you feel. Notice what makes you smile.  Notice what makes you feel energized.  Notice what makes you feel peaceful.  Write those things down in your Reminder Journal.  As I said last week, "It is easy to forget but so important to remember."  Awareness is the first step to building the life you want to live.  I hope you will begin today by taking a small step towards becoming more aware of you who are now and what makes you happy each day.

Wonderful words of wisdom. I like the idea of writing it down...."so easy to forget".

You just gave me a good new year's resolution. I used to keep a "thankful" journal and I think I'll start a new one, but add your suggestions about being "aware." It's so easy to let a day pass by without noticing how I change and what brings about that change.

I also loved the picture. It's really gloomy where I'm at right now -- lots of rain...hmmm...there's a challenge. What does rain make me aware of?

I hope you and your family had a nice holiday and I wish you a very happy and successful new year (with your new career).

Ginny this pink orange sky is a dream. When I see such skies I can't help but stop and be in awe, they usually come at dusk when there is such a Magic in the air, the in between time, the magical time! Thanks for sharing with us and for your soulful words of advice.
