The Creative Advantage of Lingering a While in Bed

Tap into it whenever you can!

Morning has come.

Don’t jump right of bed.

Instead, let your creativity seep through the borders of your subconscious as you slowly awaken.

Try to hang on for just a few moments to the messages and metaphors of your dreams.

Give in willingly for a few lingering moments before the world stakes its impatient claims on your time and attention.

Creative ideas sometimes step from the forest timorously, like a doe and her fawn stepping into the light. Be silent, breathe softly, and they will not run away.

When your creative muse appears, mere moments after you have opened your eyes, link arms with her.

Acknowledge her loving smile, and let her whisper to you of the poems, stories, songs, and ideas that only you were meant to write.
