You create your life in each passing moment. The question is, are you creating with conscious intention or creating by default? Creativity is our true magic. To be alive is to be in a state of constant co-creation with the universe, and the ability to convert our thoughts into reality is a defining characteristic of being human.

Opportunities for creative play . Setting intentions . Cultivating intuition. Addressing emotion and your inner critic. Developing your own style. Creating with consistency.
