(7) Creativity - Little Acorn
From this tiny nut a mighty oak tree grows. Likewise, thinking and acting creatively is the emotionally healthy way to grow your life. This is especially so if you are dealing with any unresolved issues.
You can develop your creative skills by participating in imaginative ventures. As your creativity progresses, you experience a great sense of accomplishment, profound purpose and enormous emotional delight.
Every single person has the capability to be creative. Do you truly appreciate the huge value of thinking and acting creatively? New ideas and fresh insight serve to generate immense feelings of achievement as you solve problems or participate in inventive projects. The Rune of Creativity reminds you to explore the in-built creative side of your nature – mental and physical – as often as possible.
Witness the seeds of your own human ingenuity by watching children absorbed in creative play. You too can engage, or perhaps rediscover, your childhood appetite for imaginative recreation. Being creative is a prime factor for emotional well-being, so the ideal tonic is to invigorate yourself creatively every day.
There is a wealth of choice for being creative: designing, writing, drawing, painting, composing, singing, acting, theorising, debating, cooking, sewing, knitting, sculpting, reproducing, decorating, reconfiguring something old into something new or, in rare instances, producing an idea or product that is entirely new to the world. You can also use your creativity to find novel solutions to issues that conventional activity has so far failed to resolve.
Have a check for saboteur excuses – too little time, it takes too much effort, fear of not being ‘good enough’, indifference, no-one to do it with etc. Today, rather than creative time, leisure time is often spent on screen, while shopping for goods supplied by a third party is the norm, even for items you could easily be creating yourself or making with the help of your children and friends.
Compare the empowering sense of accomplishment you get from active creative participation to the lack lustre experience of handing over a plastic card for an instant purchase or staring at someone else making things onscreen.
Mind train yourself to think creatively, exploring new opportunities for using your skills and resources. Immerse yourself in imaginative thoughts and play around with them. Metaphorically plant your little acorns and guide their growth in a forest of creativity.
This Rune is a member of The Performance Set consisting of domains relating to the need for engagement in physical and mental activities and taking personal responsibility therefor.
"Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything." George Lois
