Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation for all of earth. Not only the trees plants and nature but us as well. We feel the miracle of spiritual transformation even if we do nothing, the simple fact that it is spring gives our souls nourishment and renews us. We can help the process along by taking some simple actions.

Sometimes our fear of failure goes hand in hand with our own deep down fear of success. We are afraid to acknowledge our unique talents and gifts and what we could become. Acknowledging our magical abilities and qualities would suggest that we need to then take action, make choices, set goals and achieve results. Sometimes it is easier to just turn our backs on all these things and continue in our middling way. Afraid to fail at somethings on a certain level, but also afraid to succeed.

I think we could all write a thank you letter to our bodies. I know that I feel I ought to thank mine. A letter to thank it for all that it has endured, supported, and maintained me, for all that it does for me, through sometimes less than ideal conditions.

Often we wonder how we can engage in creative activities if we are not talented and we worry that we can’t draw/paint/etc. Creative activities such as visual arts do not need to be techniques based. It can be about exploring and just enjoying connecting with your creative soul again. 

If you hate the thought of saying an affirmation to yourself each day or just never thought it was something that you would do, you may want to give affirmations a chance and reap the benefits they can bring.  An affirmation, or a positive short phrase or sentence that we say to ourselves and then repeat throughout the day as needed, is reassuring. It provides reassurance to us that we have some control over our realities and that by repeating the affirmation, we can affect a very real outcome.
