Ever think about what you’re thinking? Well you should! For creating – or growing – the world around us, really does start with our thinking!
I've been helping others navigate change creatively for something like two decades or more - and having studied the creative process extensively throughout - I've learned a thing or two along the way... In fact, I'm writing a book to encapsulate the systems I've developed over all these years for navigating the process! One of the sweet little morsels I like to share, is that truth be known - creating or changing anything - really does start with “what we think!” With this in mind, I once was inspired with a fun and easy analogy and great teaching tool - for getting us back on track to "monitor" our thinking. Simply put, it goes like this...
Consider “your thoughts” are like water... your thoughts are the energy (like water) that grows the “garden” of your life - and world! Like in a garden, when seeds are fed lots of water, they grow! So consider “your thoughts” as the water that grows your “garden.” Digest the power of this simple little notion... and you realize you can become extra aware of what you are "watering" – where you give your thoughts and energy – to better ensure you are “watering” what you want to grow - not over indulging "too much water" to drown a new plant (idea or project) and "not" watering, that is, allowing “to go dry” that which no longer serves you (old stuff, relationships, anger, fear...etc.)!
So go out and prosper in the New Year... and watch what you're thinking! Pull out some weeds, don't over water, feed your new seeds... and grow a good garden this year - one that's like gold!
...Just the tip of the iceberg ~ with mountains more to share! See you on the next one...
