What’s been most surprising to me about my #creativesandbox doodle practice is how spiritually illuminating it is.
I learn so much about myself through this simple, “tiny and daily” practice of putting pen to paper!
When I follow my Creative Sandbox Guideposts and remember that there is no wrong (Guidepost #1), and just approach the marks with curiosity, asking “What if..?” (Guidepost #5), I am often surprised and delighted by what emerges.
It’s a “voice” I would not have recognized as my own if you could somehow go back in time and show it to me ten or twenty years ago.
The younger me might even think it weird or ugly!
But present time me is intrigued. Curious. And delighted.
THAT is the zone of the Creative Sandbox.
And when you give yourself the space to create in the Creative Sandbox regularly, even if it’s just for a few minutes, over the span of days and weeks and months something starts to shift.
Your relationship with your creativity, and with yourself as a creator, morphs back to something more primal. How it used to be.
The distance between you and your creative spirit becomes smaller, until you are one again, the way you were when you were born.
THAT is what we are all seeking after all, don’t you think?
THAT is the true definition of living a full-color creative life.
And the beautiful thing is that it’s within your grasp.
You don’t need expensive tools or fancy equipment. Just a tiny and daily practice and a small commitment.
It’s that simple.
Not always easy, for sure, but simple.
What do you think?
