August: Part One

I'm grateful for the abundance of prosperity, joy, and love.

I'm a creator. I'm open to receiving all opportunities that are mine.

I will share my gifts with others and enhance the world through connection and authenticity.

Happy August! Leo Season!

Keep your eye open for the two full moons in August: the 1st and August 30th!  

It's essential to take some time this month to reflect on your foundation. What beliefs, experiences, and thoughts are shaping your identity and worldview? Understanding your foundation can be a helpful tool for personal growth and development. 

Your foundation comprises your values, beliefs, and experiences that shape your identity and worldview. Knowing your foundation can provide several benefits, including greater clarity on your goals and aspirations, strengths, and weaknesses. This clarity can help you make better decisions and take actions that align with your identity.

In addition, knowing your foundation can increase self-awareness, helping you better understand how you interact with others and navigate the world around you. This awareness can lead to personal growth and development, improved communication, and stronger relationships.

When you have a strong sense of your foundation, you are more resilient in the face of life's challenges. You know what you stand for and what's important to you, which can give you the strength to overcome adversity.

Understanding your foundation can help you live a more fulfilling and authentic life and contribute to your personal growth and development.

Shall we talk about uncovering and enhancing what you already possess or constructing upon it? Let's focus on creativity since art heals and allows new opportunities to come into our being. When you create something new and go through the cycles of the creative process, it can kindle the fire within you if you give it room to grow.

Engaging in creative activities is one way to explore your inner self and discover your hidden talents. Here's a simple daily creative activity that can help you unearth your treasure within:

  1. Take a few minutes each day to do some freewriting.

  2. To begin a creative session, set a timer for 10-15 minutes. Get a notebook and a pen, then start writing whatever comes to mind. Alternatively, you can use watercolors and let the creative energy guide your paintbrush.

  3. Don't worry about grammar, punctuation, or spelling; don't worry about how your picture turns out. Just let your thoughts flow onto the page.

Write or paint about anything that inspires you, whether it's a dream you had, a childhood memory, or a current event that caught your attention. You can also write about your emotions, goals, or fears. Freewriting or free painting aims to get your creative juices flowing and allow your subconscious mind to express itself freely. Doing this exercise regularly may uncover new ideas, insights, and perspectives that will help you discover your treasure within.

Remember, the goal is not to create a masterpiece every time you write or paint but to enjoy the process of self-discovery and creativity. So, give yourself permission to play, experiment, and have fun with your writing. Who knows, you may surprise yourself with what you uncover!
