Bliss?!

[cathy]

Day thirty-something. I haven't posted for a while. I've been in a royal black hole. Funnily enough, I think it is a result of starting and doing the challenge. I was really in a groove before my vacation which was amazing but really put some things on hold for me that were going really well prior to it. Art, jewellery making, feeling good and feeling positive. Well, I came home and have been really out of it since. Not inspired, feeling the big "why bother?" that I often struggle with, and losing the momentum for my posts and the challenge in general. Well, thanks to my amazing partner, (who lucky for me happens to be a therapist/spiritual guide/guru type guy) talked me through some of my blocks, and virtually forced me to spend the last two days creating...
So I did....and I finally got back into a flow, worked in my art journal mostly, did lots of collage, and through this came to the realization that there is life before the challenge and life during the challenge and once you start, you really begin to look at life differently. My last journal page centered around the idea of following your bliss. "How things are on the outside of you always depends on how things are on the inside of you." I know I need to work on my insides for the world to look good and things to flow. And following my bliss is what gets me there, my bliss is creating and I have to know that it's okay to create just for the simple sake of creating and feeling well.

I feel your pain with the "why bother" and momentum. Does your partner have a cute sister? :)
