Affirmation Stones and Creativity


Over the past few weeks I've been starting to re-explore my creativity. Recently I read a post on The Wholehearted Life about painting affirmations on stones for your home and garden.  It's a simple and cute idea to surround yourself with love and inspiration. Since we've recently moved to Brighton we are surrounded by a beach full of interesting stones and I thought what a better time and place to give this a try. This combines my need for creativity with a connection to our new home.

Painting has never been my strong suit but I found this process to be both calming and inspiring. Also I'm learning again about colors and textures which is not something I've done since school. I love feeling the connection with my new home by searching for stones from the beach and having them around us as little reminders. The process is so important because it forces me to really think about my life,how it is, and how I want it to be. I've really enjoyed how it feels to be creative again and combining this with living mindfully and positively has been a great perk!


A few of what I've completed so far!

I'm still just starting to get back into drawing and playing around with painting but am loving it so far. It's easy to forget how much creativity and inspiration can brighten your life. I hope to have more to share later!
