A Symbol of Your Creative Desire

As I was reading this morning, I came across a fairly simple and wonderful idea:

Buy something inexpensive as a symbol for your need to create, (new pen, a tea cup, journal). Use it everyday.

Often times I've felt the need to have something material and solid - something to touch, feel, or look at - that would inspire me to create. It's like that one gift on Christmas morning that gives you butterflies because you're so excited by its presence. Somehow, through its mere being, this object infuses you with elation, joy, energy. It's a type of trigger for your emotions &, of all things, your imagination.

Well, my friend, we all need these triggers. So your task, along with finding time for yourself, is to find that object that will get you excited about creating. You'll know it when you find it, because you'll feel the excitement butterflies in your stomach.

Challenge: Buy something inexpensive as a symbol for your need to create

• This can be anything! A book, a journal, a tea cup, a pen, a notecard with an image you really like on it, a toy, a spatula... anything, as long as it infuses you with that same joy & energy you felt as a child.
  
  
• Use it Everyday!
