Wednesday's Walk - Paying Attention

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.

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.
