4. Create a Sacred Space
Creating a sacred space is not about furniture shopping or purchasing new artwork. Pick a corner in your home or a small space outdoors and make it your own. Use this space for reading, journaling, meditating or praying. You will be amazed at how moving a small item or two from one space to another space in your home will change the look completely. Candles, lamps, rugs and pillows moved to new spaces is a great start for creating your own “Sacred Space” and finding a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration.
Inspiration always begins on the inside and moves outward. Without making space for new we tend to stay right where we are and only find ourselves repeating the same behaviors and wondering why we don’t move forward. I recall the first painting I did of a sunflower in my mid-40’s without any formal training. My heart was racing, my palms were sweaty, and I waited for the kids to leave to school to be alone. When the kids returned in the afternoon, they were shocked and just as surprised to discover that their mother was an artist!
I never knew this hidden love and talent within me and may not have discovered had I not opened myself to the possibilities. So open yourself up, “Lean In” to the possibilities and Jump Start Your Inspiration!
