Dealing with creative blocks

Creative blocks are a part of our experience, we can fight with them or, we can  use them as motivators. I believe that with creative blocks we can learn about ouselves and our creative process. Understanding your creativity can greatly help you grow and expand your creative ability.  Fun thing is that there are millions of  was to overcome a creative block. I am here to give you my perspective on them, if you don't find this useful don't wory, there are hundreds of thousands of other ways to flame your creativity up. It is up to you to find the one that works for you. For me I just need to get inspired. Weather that is by reading an article on a killer subject  or watching a video on youtube.  I get realy inspired by cultural knowledge. I love experinecing new things and just learning. So anything that expands my knowledge, inspires me to create. I'm realy interested in self development and I try to practice it every day in my life. 
What  I have found is that expressing your blocks can actualy eluminate and remove them. I believe  that expressing (writing, saying, drawing, exc.) your blocks enables you to overcome and understand them. Practically this would mean taking some time and allowing yourself to express yout thoughts, emotions and experiences with this creatice block. This is how this peace of knowledge has come to be. Because I'm stuck I am writing on that stuckness. Because I hate it I am trying to understand it. There is a positive intention behind every negative experience. You just need to allow yourself to find and understand that intention for yourself.   If you find yourself stuck for a long time, allow yourself to change focus.  There is nothing bad in taking some time of from one point and focusing on something else, and them coming back with fresh perspective. Don't preasure yourself. Allow yourself to flow with your creativity. 
Much love xoxo

Commitment

To many people commitment is about doing only one thing at the time and completly focusing on it. This is true to a degree, you can do something and be focused on it, but that doesn't mean that you are totaly commited to it. To be totaly commited you need to be in the moment. You need to present with what you are doing.  
You need to be present with your heart, thought, and spirit. Also be sure that what you are commiting to is worth your time and energy.        If you are unhappy doing something, stop doing it. Why would you torture yourself ?Common thing we face with is fear of commitment. This fear works like defense mechanism to protect us from being hurt. Pain and hurt are the greatest motivators in life.       We will do anything to avoid them, so in order to avoid them we create cover up emotions and defense mechanisms.  Sometimes we start to believe in the cover ups and we forget about the real emotion behind them. This fear comes from being afraid of someome or something hurting us.  To realy understand our fears we need to face them. Let me tell you, fear is only an ilusion.  You need to go deep and find the root of the fear and face it. Why would you choose to live your life in fear when you can be happy. Alow yourself to enjoy this experience. Alow yourself to be in the moment.
 Much love...

 Some wisdom (serious talk)

Today I have decided that I need to tell you about some serious stuuf that alot of people is going trough but are afraid to talk about or are ashamed of it. The thing that I wanna talk to you doesnt ahve any particular name or at lest I don't know of any that would define it. But that's ok becouse we put labels on everything so for once this will be without label. Did you ever feel like there is nothing that will make you happy. Did you find yourself in the situation that seemd like the worst thing in life. Well I can tell you that I have found myself in that situation but I have to remid everytime that it isn't worth it. Foucus on the positive has been my mantra lately but I can tell you it doesnt always work. You can focus as much as you want but if you are the one who actualy manifests the situation or does it universe do for you just so you could face your shadow. I have drawn a card for this talk with you so here it is. Judegemnt. I have to tell you When I turned the card ower I loughed. One hour before i have just thought of how we perceive the world around us. And when I saw this card it has completly conected with what i was thinking before. To me as I have come to understand lately we perceive the universe by judgement. The universe is what we think of it basicly. I was thinkinhg of bad and good in sence of power and it has come to me every person has a different oppinion on what god or bad is so does that men that there is only one true answer? No. We live in universe that is contradictory and there is no right or wrong answer. I have also been on how people judge when someone is intersted in something that isn't good by their judgement. But how can you ever understand what one thing is without understanding it's opossite. So how can you now good without knowing bad.  I feel the same about witchcraf. Some itches say that they would never do black magic but how do they know what white magic is without knowing what black magic is. The basic thing that i hope will give some understanding of this and the thing that I have started with but then rambled  on to different stuff is, you will never be able to face the darkness without knowing the light, and you will never be able to face the light without knowing the darkness. At the end there is no Light or dark, bad or good, postive and negative there is only you and the way you perceive the world around you. Have that in mind and don't let anyone tell you how to feel or what to do becouse you have much more knowlidge about yourslef then anyone will ever have. You hold all the answers. You are perceiver. You are the judgement. And you are the creator.

Much love and have a good day.

                                                                  Yule
Known as Solstice Night, or the longest night of the year, the sun's "rebirth" was celebrated with much joy. On this night, our ancestors celebrated the rebirth of the Oak King, the Sun King, the Giver of Life that warmed the frozen Earth. From this day forward, the days would become longer.                                                              Bonfires were lit in the fields, and crops and trees were "wassailed" with toasts of spiced cider.  Children were escorted from house to house with gifts of clove spiked apples and oranges which were laid in baskets of evergreen boughs and wheat stalks dusted with flour.  The apples and oranges represented the sun.  The boughs were symbolic of immortality (evergreens were sacred to the Celts because they did not "die" thereby representing the eternal aspect of the Divine).  Holly and ivy not only decorated the outside, but also the inside of homes, in hopes Nature Sprites would come and join the celebration. A sprig of Holly was kept near the door all year long as a constant invitation for good fortune to visit tthe residents.   Mistletoe was also hung as decoration.                                                                                                                                                            It represented the seed of the Divine, and at Midwinter, the Druids would travel deep into the forest to harvest it.  The ceremonial Yule log was the highlight of the Solstice festival.    In accordance to tradition, the log must either have been harvested from the householder's land, or given as a gift... it must never have been bought.                  Once dragged into the house and placed in the fireplace it was decorated in seasonal greenery, doused with cider or ale, and dusted with flour before set ablaze by a piece of last years log, (held onto for just this purpose). The log would burn throughout the night, then smolder for 12 days after before being ceremonially put out. Ash is the traditional wood of the Yule log.  It is the sacred world tree of the Teutons, known as Yggdrasil. An herb of the Sun, Ash brings light into the hearth at the Solstice.  

Deities of Yule:  Sun Gods, Mother Goddesses, and Triple Goddesses. The best known would be the Dagda, and Brighid, the daughter of the Dagda. Brighid taught the smiths the arts of fire tending and the secrets of metal work. Brighid's flame, like the flame of the new light, pierces the darkness of the spirit and mind, while the Dagda's cauldron assures that Nature will always provide for all the children. 

Symbolism of Yule:  Rebirth of the Sun, The longest night of the year, The Winter Solstice, Introspect, Planning for the Future.

Symbols of Yule: Yule log, evergreen boughs or wreaths, holly, mistletoe hung in doorways, gold pillar candles, baskets of clove studded fruit, a simmering pot of wassail, poinsettias, christmas cactus.
