I've been in a doing mood lately. Needing to constantly be doing something with my hands with any free time I may have.
I have created yarn wall hangings, painted and stained the railings in my home, and even ripped up the carpet to paint and stain my stairs.
For me, doing and creating is meditative. I'm able to process my emotions through physical activity. Creation allows my spirit to flourish while I work.
Sometimes I can get the same results from working out. I still have a block there though that pops up occasionally and makes me a cranky workout partner. Working out and getting sweaty is "hard" and "unfulfilling" for me most of the time.
There have been points in my life where I've created businesses, crafted jewelry, thrown pottery, crochet anything from scarves and mittens to blankets, sewn pillow cases and curtains, and painted.
Anything to work with spirit at times.
I also know that it is during these times that I am probably going through a lesson. There is usually an internal struggle, a mental tug of war, a new part of me working up to the surface.
This time around, I'm trying to ensure that I keep space in my life for looking internally, seeing what exactly I'm processing, and if I need to use my tools to keep things moving along.
