Creative wellbeing journal - In. This. Moment.

I’ve been feeling pretty down the last couple of days. 
I’m now homeschooling my son, being mindful of keeping up with my art therapy studies at uni, I’ve closed all my in-person classes (my main source of income), and I’m feeling the pull of social distancing big time, and what that means for my sense of connection as a solo Mama. 
Then this morning I woke up, and there was a little bit of space inside me. I went for a walk and amongst the trees and sunshine, a new puzzle piece a slot into place. 

In this moment, I always have the power to choose my awareness. 

I can either perceive my experience through a lens of fear and uncertainty, or I can let all those shackles go and perceive from a space of love.  And I don’t mean airy-fairy love. I mean, I can choose to perceive my social distancing, my homeschooling, my creativity, my choices, as an ACT OF LOVE for myself and others. 

Oh, how much pressure has lifted from my shoulders when I choose to perceive through acts of love. This way, I can keep my heart open and serve. Serve my heart and body and mind. Serve my family. Serve my community. Serve my planet. 
A new perspective. 

Even through constraints, we can hold awareness of what we are letting into our bubble and choose moments of standing in the sun on this beautiful planet and for as many moments as we like, serve love with our thoughts and actions. 
Feels like a nice space to practice and revisit when I feel off-kilter. 

Love to you all ❤️
