Living With a Creative Mind

Living With a Creative Mind

Just imagine; You are in bed and you can’t sleep, what do you do? You think about life, you think about how your day went, what you will be doing the following day and coming weekend, right? Now Just imagine you just passed this beautiful 3 story glass house now what is your mind thinking? My creative mind state the obvious, I can’t afford it yet, but then it starts thinking of ways to utilize the glass house, if you make it into a Bed and Breakfast, a SPA, a saloon or it could be turned into an art program a place where people go for creative artistic therapy and so on. Now continue closing your eyes and Imagine that you walked through a neighborhood where there are tents on the sidewalk but you're single or married and you start to think of ways you can help people instead of looking at the faults you look at different angles and views on how you can help them. Now you just got back from this wonderful vacation and you saw this undeveloped land that had become neglected and you start to imagine to yourself what if you had access to all resources to develop anything you want, what would you create, what would you develop? Could you combine other ideas you have or you come up with an idea that’s unique in itself? And lastly you meet a group of people and imagine how can you help them become better individuals, because face it, we all have bad habits or some type of behavior we wish we didn’t have, and you can tell yourself that you don’t have any but just like the word perfection the actual meaning of that word doesn’t exist so we all have things we need to work on in our life and it is so important to be honest with yourself. Anyhow, what do you do when you live with a mind that is constantly active and creative? Some people may utilize their skills by writing books, some others start their own business, some people may be using their creative mind proactively but just imagine if you had the same skills as these people and you could do the same things but a part of you stops you from proceeding and stops you from taking action. Again this is not just one night that you can’t sleep this is every single night and day that your mind keeps creating something out of nothing, and some nights your mind get so creative it makes you happy and smile and laugh at your ideas middle of the night now you become wide awake because you created a masterpiece, the sad part of the all your not able to share your masterpiece with others because it’s all stuck in your mind. The days your mind is hunting a visual project, at night it comes to life and sometimes the visual project may take weeks to get all puzzle pieces together and a lot of sleepless nights. Now this is a life some of us are living with or who knows maybe I’m one in a billion with this highly active creative mind. Oftentimes to calm the mind, I noticed listening to meditation music can feel very relaxing but no. Turn meditation music on and ask yourself what do you hear? What do you see? You hear a flute you see running water, and imagine a forest with a sunrise or sunset in your mind and suddenly you have a painting in front of you, it’s still going your creative mind so no matter what we do in life and no matter what we tell ourselves, what we think is being creative and for some people it can be exhausting but it is so much fun so if you have the creative mind and have the ability, start document your ideas and the sooner you start doing it in life the better for you as you have an outlet of your creative ideas, and as you grow older you can make them into a reality. Don’t be like me, being me with my creative mind, it is exhausting. Good luck on your creative endeavors in life. Written by Carolyna the Rambler
