Silently Drawn

"Let yourself be silently drawn

by the stronger pull

of what you really love."

Rumi

All of us have obligations and hold ourselves accountable to family, friends, and career; but, what about towards our personal space?  Do we intentionally make room for individual creative time and do we maintain it?  We are masters of shifting boundaries to accommodate others, but sadly, not so much with ourselves.

To carve out time for our passion, we must be intentional and follow through.  The attention we give to ourselves allows us to be a better parent, friend or employee.  If we do not respect the privacy and creativity we owe to ourselves, we will eventually become overloaded or depleted which leads to damage to our body, such as illness.

Physically, if we take care of our lovely self, we remain healthier.  Emotionally, if we acknowledge rather than repress or avoid what is bothering us, we are mentally stronger.  Spiritually, (whatever that means for you), we feel a connection throughout our days and remain aligned.  Body, mind and spirit, really so simple for the rewards they bring!
