December 11
It is the creative potential itself in human beings that is the image of God.

~Mary Daly

Within each of us is a creative person. Getting comfortable with our creativity often means letting go of tight, rigid thinking so our spontaneous, artistic side can emerge.

Whether or not we think of ourselves as artistic, we are. To be artistic is to create, an instinct we all possess. Each day in recovery we find the courage to create ourselves anew. One way to encourage our creativity is to find an outlet for it. It might be singing or playing an instrument. It might be writing, gardening, or refinishing furniture. Most anything that lets us create something outside ourselves can be good.

Working with our body, spirit, mind, and feelings is truly a joyful experience with an amazing reward at the end: we find we have created something, and in it, we can see ourselves.

I am letting go of the rigid ways of thinking that prevent my creativity from emerging. My creativity is more important to me than rigid ways of thinking.

Today's reading is from the book Answers in the Heart
