Hello! :)
I was wondering today...how do we feed our soul?
I think there are a lot of different ways, but one of them is a r t ! :)
Have you been occupied with something artistic lately? For instance, you could draw a painting, write a song, take some photos, decorate your room...
For me, art is to do something in a different way than everybody else does.. to give a different meaning to objects & actions that seem ordinary to other people... For instance, you could tidy your clothes in your closet in such a creative way, that you feel there's a touch of art there! :)
Instead of doing repeated, everyday movements for ordinary habits, you may want to put some colour in your life! In this way, life does not go by thoughtlessly, but you feel everyday you have done something different for you! Of course, at work or at other responsibilities, a big percentage of us are 'obliged' to do something different or extraordinary.. but what about our personal life? What about the time when we are just with ourselves?
Do you spend time with yourself? Doing something you really enjoy and not only 'survival' movements, such as showering, brushing your teeth and eating breakfast?!
Sometimes, when I forget to feed my soul... routine makes me feel 'un-human', a robot!
The best remedy is to do something 'artistic' everyday. Even cooking could be art, if you don't see it only as a 'survival' action! : )
If you are afraid/shy and don't know how to start, why don't you get yourselves inspired? Read books, listen to the music, go to art galleries.... this time, though, the aim will not be to fill your spare time but to find your muse, to get inspired!
Apart from the above, I find inspiration in 'real' persons and in 'real' feelings...have you ever thought to draw the feeling of anxiety you have before a very important meeting? It could be so nice, that you may even like to frame it! :) Have you ever thought to create a dish that will express your feelings for another person? I bet the result will be amazing and even the greatest chefs will be jealous!
So, go ahead and try! : ) Feed your soul today with some art!
