Every once in a while, I feel called to clear my calendar, shut the computer off and have a creative Heidi day.

Everything I do on Heidi days is guided by my intuition.

I may paint, or I may plan my next home decor project, but one thing is for sure, I’m not forcing myself to do anything.

My brain used to fight me on this.

“You can’t take time off, you’ve got too much to do!”

But too much doing, and not enough living, puts a damper on my expansion.

When I take the time for a Heidi day, usually I find myself enjoying life more.

I may do some gardening in my front yard, or painting in my studio. Sometimes I go shopping (yay for my inner fashionista).

Or... I may spend some time in meditation, envisioning what I want at this time in my life.

I do whatever makes me feel really, really happy.

This creative white space has given me so much. It’s like a succulent peach; it’s so delicious.

It allows me to see how far I’ve come and feeds me inspiration for future endeavors.

When I clear my brain of “to-do’s” I am able to FEEL life and see who I’m truly becoming.

And from this, I always get inspiration. The downloads always come.

What could happen for you if you created a (First name) day?

Email me and let me know.

Until then, here are my top ten ideas for a creative (first name) day, aka Creative Funsies!

Creative Funsy Ideas:

1. Paint for 30 minutes in abstract forms, focusing on letting your emotions out
2. Take a walk in your neighborhood and savor all the trees and butterflies
3. Sit outside and meditate for 10 minutes, constantly letting any stressful thoughts drop, like a feather floating to the floor
4. Go shopping at your favorite stores with no goal in mind except to follow your passion, and buy things that inspire you
5. Go through your house until you find the home project you really want to focus on, and sketch out your fun plans
6. Find some leaves in your yard and make crayon (or pencil) etchings of them in your journal
7. Bake your favorite dessert or better yet, go to your fave bakery and buy your fave dessert!
8. Call someone you love and spend 30 minutes laughing as much as you can
9. Curate a beautiful outfit to wear the next time you go out
10. Take a super long bath with epsom salts and candles, then spend time in front of the mirror adoring yourself

When you are your own best friend, there’s no limit to what you can create!

Much love,
