We are all devoted to something. And this devotion is often played out on a daily basis. Most of it on a subconscious level.
For those of us who are employed by a boss, we are devoted to going into work. For those of us with a family/kids, we are devoted to their well being – getting them fed and clothed and off to school/work or play.
Some of us may be more consciously devoted to and exercise regime, or a yoga/meditation practice or even a food choice – juicing for breakfast – or a vegan lifestyle.
Every commitment we make is a devotion – a dedication to some purpose.
What then if we aren’t consciously aware of our devotions?
Could this lead to confusion and an energy drain in our lives?
Most definitely.
I recently discovered that a lack of devotion had me feeling a bit off and a seriously lacking in motivation. It had been almost a week where I had not created anything – and although I had been stepping into my new shiny “artist” boots and standing clearly to be seen on my new path, I had not put paintbrush to paper – or crystal bead to wire for a number of days in a row. I had not tapped in to my soul’s needs – I had been nourishing her with colourful creating time – and then I stopped – and she began to suffer.
And when she suffers – so do I.
And yet as is the magical way of my ego – I couldn’t see it.
After listening to me complain about how I was feeling off and had little motivation, a wise friend simply said
“GO MAKE ART”
And I did – and life began to flow more smoothly and My Soul gave a little cheer as she began to breathe again.
What is it that your soul needs you to do?
Can you make a daily devotion to it?
Get still and listen
When you hear it – go do it/make it/be it/live it.
