INTRODUCTION TO DAY 10

On Day 10 of our soul-fasting journey, we turn our attention to the joy and freedom found in creativity. Concurrently, we strive to let go of pessimism, an outlook that can often cloud our ability to see potential and beauty in our creative endeavours.

MEDITATION FOCUS FOR GRATITUDE: CREATIVITY

Today, let’s celebrate our creative spirit. Whether it’s art, music, writing, problem-solving, or innovative thinking in daily tasks, recognize and appreciate your unique creative abilities. Reflect on how creativity enriches your life, brings joy, and allows for self-expression and problem-solving in unique and fulfilling ways.

MEDITATION FOCUS FOR FASTING: PESSIMISM

As we embrace our creativity, let’s also work on shedding pessimism. This negative outlook can limit our vision and hinder our capacity to engage in creative thinking. Whenever you notice pessimistic thoughts, pause and challenge them. Replace doubts and negative predictions with hopeful outcomes and positive possibilities.

PRACTICE FOR THE DAY

Engage in a creative activity that you enjoy or try something new that sparks your interest. It could be as simple as sketching, crafting, experimenting with a recipe, or brainstorming ideas for a project. Throughout the day, be vigilant about pessimistic thoughts. Consciously replace them with optimism and faith in your creative potential.

Day 10 is about unlocking the full spectrum of our creativity and turning away from the shadows of pessimism. It’s a day to recognize our creative talents as a source of joy and an avenue for positive and imaginative exploration. Let’s allow ourselves to dream and create freely, looking towards the future with optimism and excitement.
