It’s easy to get caught up in our jobs, family responsibilities and
volunteer work. Soon you feel physically exhausted and emotionally drained. You can recharge and renew your spirit by devoting time to activities that are personally
meaningful to you. I like to write and paint. These creative acts recharge my
spirit and make me feel happy (and stress disappears). As a human being on Planet Earth for a limited number of days, I encourage you to reactivate your Creative License and do what gives your life meaning. Doing what matters to you really
matters!
Meaningful activities can be
identified by:
1. A
realization that what you are doing really matters to you
2. A
sense of purpose and order in your life
3. A
lack of awareness of the passage of time (also called “flow”)
4. An
enlarging knowledge of one’s self
5. A
sense of self-actualization or “becoming”
6. Feeling
unique in the world
7. A
connection to something “bigger” than yourself
8. A
feeling of deep contentment when you engage in the activity
