The Power of Engagement Part 2 – 5 Steps to Congruent Creativity
You can energize the creating power of your thoughts by deeply feeling what you’re also thinking. Don’t just think “I am a mighty creating being” feel it as well, and you will turbocharge your thoughts. In fact the more you feel it the more you will create it.
One of our greatest gifts if not the greatest gift we are all given as we arrive here on Earth is the gift of creating. It is, in fact, a gift that comes in three packages for we all have three different ways to create. Perhaps you feel that you aren’t a creative person. Well, guess what? You created that perception of yourself and you could, if you chose, create a different perspective-one that would be far more empowering to your life.
We all have the ability to create in these three ways:
• with our thoughts,
• our words, and
• our actions.
Congruent Creativity is the process of aligning these three ways of creating with each other — where our thoughts are creating the same thing as our words and our actions. If you are one of those people who do not feel they are creative you probably have a wealth of evidence for that belief; a long list of examples where you weren’t able to create what you desired.
Consider that it’s not that you aren’t creative but that your three spheres of creativity are out of alignment with each other. After all, when things are congruent they are matching or in agreement with something else. In other words, you may be creating one thing with your thoughts, while at the same time creating something else with your words, and you may also be creating something entirely different from your actions. So your thoughts, words, and actions are canceling each other out. The end result is nothing much gets created and thus your notion of “not being a creative person” becomes true.
You can probably see how knowing your Divinely Inspired Life Purpose and staying aware of your Inherited Purpose can play important roles in Congruent Creativity. If you want to live a life that is consistent with your life purpose, then become very attentive to the degree to which your thoughts, words, and actions are aligned or not aligned with your life purpose.
So, if you want to experience an amazing level of creativity in your life, begin practicing Congruent Creativity. How? Here are 5 steps you can take to create Congruent Creativity in your life.
Release Your Belief: The first step is to release any notion you may have about your ability to create since that belief is inconsistent with anything you’re out to manifest in your life. Sure you have evidence that you’re not creative, but that evidence is itself proof that you really are able to create. You created that evidence. Paradoxical but true.
Create a New Belief: Next, bring your thought sphere of creativity into alignment by designing a new belief that you are gifted with creative ability. You have been creating all your life and I mean that in two ways. You’ve been creating ever since you were born and what you’ve been creating all that time is ‘all your life.’ Perhaps you’ve misused or underutilized this powerful gift but that’s now in your past.
Think it and Feel it: Closely akin to the ability to create with your thoughts is your feelings. You can energize the creating power of your thoughts by deeply feeling what you’re also thinking. Don’t just think “I am a mighty creating being” feel it as well, and you will turbocharge your thoughts. In fact, the more you feel it the more you will create it. So, whenever you work with your thought sphere of creativity, remember it’s really your thoughts and feelings creating together.
Speak it and it is so: Next add in the next sphere of creating — your words, and be sure your words are consistent with your thoughts and feelings. Now, you’re adding real energy to the equation because your thoughts/feelings and your words have synergistic energy when they are congruent with each other. Your creative abilities are becoming more focused. Just like focus, aligned light becomes a powerful laser beam, so will your creative powers.
Add in Action: Now add in the power of action and your congruent creativity is switched into “overdrive” IF your actions are consistent with your thoughts/feelings and your words. If not, one will cancel out the other, leaving you back to square one. But once these three spheres of creativity are congruent with each other, your ability to create is likely to escalate beyond anything you’ve ever experienced, particularly if you once thought, “I’m not a creative person.”
Let’s pause right here and insert an example. About a year ago as of this writing, towards the end of the year, I began pondering upon what my next year of a life on purpose would be like. (Yes, I do endeavor to practice what I preach.) As I was meditating and journaling on the various possibilities, one thing that kept coming up was to focus more on my writing and to really step into the possibility of being a visionary writer of fiction and non-fiction.
It was about this time that Ann had been reading a series of fantasy books by a particular author who she greatly admired. She even went to the author’s web site and read about how she’d become a full-time writer. It was about this time that Ann mentioned to me about what she’d read about the writer and wondered if I shouldn’t focus more of my energies in the coming year on my writing. This was completely independent of what I’d been thinking, for I’d not yet mentioned my own thoughts on the subject. Needless to say, it was a powerful confirmation that I was on to something, for I’ve learned long ago to listen to my wife. I’ve also learned that when we’re aligned, watch out Universe, which leads to my next point.
