"Be happy now. Enjoy the creative process—the process of creating your
life, yourself, and the project you're working on—today. Don't wait for those finishing moments to take pleasure in your work and your life. Find joy all along the way."

   —Melody Beattie

Creativity Exercise - Giving Thanks

Look back a year and see where you were and how you have grown—in your
life, in yourself, the projects you have finished and those you have started. What was your best inspiration? Can you use it again? What were the themes you explored? How did you grow?

Create a piece to thank the universe for this last year. If it has been a year of loss or
disappointment, create a piece full of hope for next year—what you want in
your life.

Affirmation

I let go of past emotional injuries and choose to remember the times of love and joy.
With thanksgiving for my past successes, I choose to build on them to reach
my goals.
