Ask Yourself Anything

a creative practice for the height of summer

Try this.

Ask yourself questions, respond, and roll with it.

Whether you are looking to get started on a writing project or simply check in with your soul, this is a fun, simple, and light practice to get those creative energies flowing.

Start with the easiest question—

What do you want?

I want to paint.

Why do you want to paint?

I feel drawn to expressing my creativity not only in my writing, but in this more physical way. I want to imbue my paintings with my prayers as I create them. I want to enjoy the creative flow of painting and the result of having beautiful pieces to share.

Where will you start?

I feel drawn to paint flowers.

But, hasn’t it been a long time since you last painted?

Yes, it’s been ten years since I last painted, but I won’t let that time stop me. I was working on other projects, I still am, but I can find some time to paint if I want to.

What else do you want to create?

Books, stories, gardens, delicious meals, sweet events, music, and memories.

How do you prioritize your projects?

I follow my heart. My energy guides me to create at just the right timing.

How do you choose what to create?

I let the spirit of creativity move me. I seek out opportunities and I let the opportunities come to me.
