Creativity
"The creation of something new is
not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting
from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it
loves." Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
Creativity is an important and necessary part of your
life. Unfulfilled creativity can lead to dis-ease, depression, illness
and addictions. Creative expression needs a balance of play and
intellect. Play brings to birth and intellect builds the structure
to hold and form what has been created.
You can live fully and passionately by discovering what you are
passionate about and giving yourself permission to follow it, whatever
it is. This means cutting through the confusion of other people's
ambitions and expectations and finding what is right for you. It
may mean letting go of the false pride you have used to protect
your authentic self. This helps you to find your true self and express
your authenticity.
When you are living creatively, passionately and authentically,
you will be happy with yourself. When you are happy with yourself,
your relationships
will be healthy and functional.
