Making decisions.

Making decisions can sometimes feel like torture, and it can be risky as well. Even after agonizing and going back and forth, we still wonder if we made the right decision.

Many times making the wrong decision gives us insight into what we want, and don’t want, and that moves us forward.

In this video, I give some ideas that have worked for me with sorting my thoughts out to find the courage to forge ahead. 

As always, thanks for watching. If you get a chance, let me know what you think of it 😊

Pisces ♓︎, The Zodiac Sign of Empathy and Unique Talent 💝🎨🎭

Pisces are the people to call when you are in need, as they are born to help and support others. Being compassionate with a generous nature, they will be there for you without expecting anything in return. With their generous hearts, Pisces can be idealistic, and look at the world through rose colored glasses. This can have them with feelings of disappointment, and they may feel disheartened and pessimistic. Although easygoing, they handle their feelings of being let down with pretty hefty doses of sarcasm. Like their symbol, ♓︎, which represents two fish going in separate directions, they often flow between fantasy and reality.

They are not known for saving huge bundles of money, as the more earthy, practical signs tend to (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn), or have lofty ambition, or concerned with rank (as signs Aries, Leo and Virgo often do), and that is mostly because they believe everything will work its way out on its own. They are at their best when they lean into their unique talents to serve the world. Pisces can be counted on to have a skill that is unique and well defined, as Albert Einstein had. 

Their sensitive nature can make them indecisive and easily hurt, so they need to steer clear of flowing into low spirits. On the zodiac wheel, Pisces is the last sign, meaning they collect the wisdom and energy from all the zodiac signs preceding them. For example, they enjoy the quickness of Gemini, along with the fun loving and sympathetic spirit of Cancer, and the love of pleasure of Libra. The blend of all the zodiac signs can lead to life of fulfillment, or it can be a difficult one to bear. 

Easygoing as they are, and with a wonderful imagination and keen observations skills, Pisces people have a wonderful sense of humor that will charm and delight their family, friends and associates. Pisceans are natural healers, and take care of the ill, but they also understand the heart of the vulnerable, all this without judgement. Once you step into their dreamy, supportive, and intuitive world, you may want keep them in YOUR world.

Creativity Is Good for Your Spiritual Well Being 🎨🎵🎭

She's one of my favorite artists 💗

There is a strong relationship between creativity and our spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health. There are studies also correlating creativity with longevity.

Observing cellist Pablo Casals shows how playing his cello alleviated his symptoms of arthritis and emphysema. A study of a group of senior citizens participating in art classes reported an amazing 96% felt more alive and fresh, 88% felt less lonely, and 94% felt more at peace with themselves. 

Aligning ourselves with the flow of an act that we feel passionate about gives us a sense of purpose. This makes our focus so intense that we lose our sense of time and space. We become one with our intention and craft.

The appreciation for creating, and also the creation, has a very positive affect on us. Aesthetics play a huge role in our happiness and appreciation. As Shahram Heshmat writes in Psychology Today, “Aesthetic emotions play a crucial role in the processing and enjoyment of art. In the presence of beautiful things, we feel a broad range of emotions, such as fascination, surprise, awe, feelings of transcendence, wonder, and admiration.” 

As you might guess, the one thing that inhibits creativity the most is the fear of judgment from others. If we could venture into uncharted waters and let go, and feel that we are living in our own Spiritual Sovereignty (click here for my blog post on this topic), we can then become part of a beautiful creation that we ourselves create. It takes courage to remove the critical voices in your head, whether they be yours or somebody else’s. We all have those voices.

Interestingly, the top wish of the dying, (as described in my blog post here), is “I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.” Creativity is an opportunity for self expression, learning a new skill, discovering an untapped talent, and using our imagination to create something beautiful.
