20 Creative Ways to Boost Your Creativity

It's Time to get Creative about Creativity

Albert Einstein once referred to creativity as “intelligence having fun”. I don’t know about you, but I like being intelligent and I especially like it if it’s fun.

However; despite my desire to live a creative life, the truth of the matter is that I’ve never really considered myself to be a particularly creative person. Oh sure—I like to create; I knit, crochet, craft, and write, however, the things that I create are usually from a pattern that someone else has created and I am simply replicating. Heck, even my writing, though original, typically falls in the non-fiction, self-help genre rather than among more creative fictional works.

Vibe Up to Level Up

Raise your vibration to raise your experience of life

Could it be possible that the Beach Boys of 1966 had a deeper understanding of Universal laws than most of us do in 2018? I mean, clearly their hit song Good Vibrations was about a girl–but that girl definitely knew how to put out some good vibes and attract the guys.

I have no idea how well versed the Beach Boys were in subjects like quantum physics or magnetic frequency, however, it’s clear that they knew a little something about the effects that good vibrations have on attraction and (in their words) “excitations”. In fact, whether they knew it or not–the Universal Law of Vibration is one of the most powerful laws impacting our lives in every single moment of our existence.

In simple terms, the Universal Law of Vibration states that every particle in the universe is in constant motion and carries energy within it. This law applies to everything from giant planets, stars and moons to the pencil on your desk and the chair under your butt. This isn’t just a bunch of new age woo-woo, this is actual science as there are high-powered microscopes that are able to see the vibrational energy of even solid objects. What’s more–not only do all objects vibrate, they vibrate at different frequencies and, thanks to the Law of Attraction (for an overview of all 12 Universal Laws, click here), objects with a high vibrational frequency are attracted to other items with high frequencies (the same is true for objects with low vibrational frequencies–they attract other low vibe objects/experiences). High vibe objects, experiences and emotions are those that elevate our lives to higher levels of joy, contentment, love and compassion, while low vibes will make us feel tired, stuck, lethargic and unenthused. If you’re curious as to how you’re vibing, here is a checklist to guide you…

Dipping My Toe into the World of Woo

and my Favorite Beginners Resources for those who are Ready to explore the Possibilities

First a disclaimer…

I am not crazy. In fact, I am sometimes entirely too rational for my own good. I don’t jump onto bandwagons and I don’t readily accept things to be true just because someone says that they are. I like to research, quantify and form my own rational opinions about things.

That being the case, I have always considered the “new age” movement to be a bit too wackadoo and “woo woo” for my logical sensibilities.

Something inside of me is shifting though. It started subtly…intuitive hunches that turned out to be correct, synchronistic happenings that were just a little too coincidental to be explained, etc. Then, those experiences grew into something more.

Rev that Metabolism

This isn't about body hate--it's about loving your body enough to keep it healthy

I always feel a tinge of trepidation when I start to write a fitness post–especially one that happens to be scheduled for the very beginning of swimsuit season. I mean, I am all for loving your body no matter what shape/size/color it is, and I truly believe that we ALL have bikini bodies if we simply find a bikini and put it on our body. So, please, please know that this post is not here to shame anyone into feelings of insecurity when it comes to body image. Instead, I write this post in an effort to help each one of us to feel better physically, because there is plenty of science to show that feeling physically strong and healthy carries over into our emotional well-being as well.

Weaving Mindfulness Throughout Your Day

Mini Mindfulness Moments that can Transform Your Outlook on Life

Mindfulness is such a popular buzzword these days, but what exactly does it mean, and more importantly–how do we obtain it?

I’ll be the first to confess-the whole concept of mindfulness, is one that intimidated me for a long time. In my mind, I equated mindfulness with hours spent on a meditation pillow, doing nothing but breathing; and frankly, that sounded really, really boring to me. Thankfully, after studying the topic a bit more, I’ve come to a much clearer understanding of what mindfulness really is and how to incorporate it into my life in small, intentional doses throughout the day. These simple tweaks have allowed me to seamlessly integrate mindful moments into my schedule and reap the benefits of a clearer, more aligned, mind, body and spirit.

If you, (like me), have a non-stop life, but still long for a more mindful existence, try incorporating a few of these simple techniques into your day.
