Our lives are busy. Between keeping ourselves; keeping our homes; keeping our families; keeping our friends; keeping our employment; keeping our interests, we are busy.
So, when do we create?
Multiple times throughout every day, seven days a week.
Think about it. We are creating our look when we are getting ready for the day. We are creating our sanctuary whenever we’re making our beds or tidying our homes. We are creating meals that feed our families. We are helping create our children’s minds when we’re reading, helping with homework, repeatedly telling them to pick up or do this or that. Yes, this is creating.
Sure, it isn’t the master painting or best-selling novel or knitted sweater or quilted blanket; however, it is creating.
Creating isn’t something for special days or when we have time or for that spare moment. Creating is a part of who we are…every moment we are awake. Heck, we even create in our dreams. It is all in our perspective.
Let’s take making the bed. Why that blanket? Why those sheets and those pillows? Simple answer…they were on sale. Okay, but why that colour or pattern?
Now for the bathroom…why that style shower curtain? Towels? Again, why those colours?
Living room…couch, chair, colour and style, layout of room?
You created your living space and no matter what the functional reason is, you still created it for you. Why? Because it is home and home comforts us.
All our normal mundane routines prepare us to handle our waking hours. Allow these normal mundane routines to pump up our creative spirit.
Lucille Ball has been quoted as saying “If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.” Guess what, if you take every moment as a creative moment, you create more.
What’s your normal mundane creative?
