The first step is to embrace “I AM a life artist.” I am the artist of my life. Say it like
a mantra until it rolls off your tongue. The next two steps will help you to more
fully integrate this artist energy as well.
2nd STEP: Go CREATE change.
Where can you create change in your life right now? It could be organizing that
corner in your kitchen or office, like I mention in the video, or writing a note to a
friend (shocking, in Know! Snail mail!), weeding a patch of your garden, tickling
your kids—create some laughter, or bake cookies.
The key is to recognize that what you are in fact doing is CREATING change. You
can choose to create “this” kind of change or “that.” Right now, after you read
this you get to CREATE your next step. What will the ripple effects of that step
be?
Don Miguel Ruiz goes on to say, “But there are two kinds of artists: the ones who
create their story without awareness, and the ones who recover awareness and
create their story with truth and with love.”
What you are doing right now is creating awareness around how you create
your “story” every second, every minute of your day. This is the same as being
mindful, not mindless.
Think right now, look around your space, what change are you going to CREATE
next? Got it?
3rd STEP: Choose to CREATE positive energy.
This is where you get to simply open up to receiving a situation in your day that
involves another person where you get to choose what you create.
It could be a phone or email conversation. It could be a string of comments on
Facebook. But create an awareness around what THEY are creating and
around your ability to CHOOSE your creative response.
I love how I read about our CREATOR energy everywhere! This is from the classic
book, The Law of Attraction by Abraham-Hicks,

You are here to create the world around you that
you choose, while you allow the world—as others
