Can procrastination be good for you?

Have you ever been prone to procrastination?

I know that I’ve been guilty of it many times.

But I’ve come to realise that procrastination isn’t always bad. In fact, I’ve come to see it as an opportunity, rather than something to beat myself up about.
Let me explain…

Mandala Inspiration – You are a Treasure.

Welcome to this week’s Inspiration Mandala titled “You are a Treasure”.

It’s a little different to my usual approach. This week I have two new mandalas to share!

They are both based on the same colouring page template that I created for the Christmas inspired mandala. The main difference is the colour palette. And it is amazing to see the different feelings that they evoke.

Harnessing Your Characteristics for Creativity

A little while ago, I wrote a blog called Discover the Magic Formula to Creativity about finding a key to filter which creative tips and tools are right for you.

 

It all boils down to one thing: YOU.

For example:
  • Are you a morning person or a night owl?
  • Do you like to work in big blocks of time or in short bursts?
  • Do you like to get ‘hands on’ when you’re thinking?
  • Or do you need to see things written up first?
The more you understand yourself, your nature, work patterns, priorities, and habits, the easier it is to harness these qualities to bring more creativity into your work and life.

We’re also more likely to be creative when we’re relaxed and being ourselves. 

Great! You might say. I understand that I’m a morning person who likes to get hands on in my projects and prefer to work in short bursts of activity. How’s that going to help me be more creative?

Mandala Inspiration – A safety buoy in a sea of change

This week’s Inspiration Mandala is titled “A Safety Buoy in a Sea of Change”.

This week’s mandala was inspired by a friend’s request for some support during the upcoming planetary upheaval over the coming months. She was aware that there will be a lot of ‘mutable’ planets this year, which means that there will be a lot of shifting rather than things being fixed. She wanted support to be able to move with the changes rather than being fearful and clinging to what was. Her preferred attitude was “We’re on a bumpy journey and it’s a bit scary, but there’s something exciting and inspiring ahead.” She used the metaphor of having a safety buoy in a sea of change. 

I am not an astrology expert by any means. A lot of it goes over my head. So I just sat down with the intent of creating a ‘a safety buoy in a sea of change’.

This is the mandala that emerged from following my intuition.
