Bea Silly Muse - Lighten Up, Make it fun

How can you not smile when you see this? Actually I must admit there have been times when I have been tearful and that is ok too.

Um, I am struggling with this for some reason, lets not judge Liz and keep going and just noticing. Jill Badonsky suggests that we summon Bea Silly when; you need to re-learn how to play, lighten up, release rigid thinking, and remember how to make your creative expression fun.


You need to remember and re awake to the wonder of being a child and know the positive implications this had for your creativity. You are feeling resistant toward working creatively for one of these reasons; you just don't seem to want to do it.  You feel a childlike power struggle inside you. You want to do something creative, but you never actually do it.


Does any of this sound familiar or resonate with you? For so much of my life I have spent endless hours thinking about food, what I SHOULD eat, what I SHOULD not eat, how I SHOULD behave, what I SHOULD do, etc and etc ....... and certainly there has not been much room for creativity, fun or play - I do feel I have made up for that and more I have to add.

"The 'inner child' has been overly explored as it related to the wounded part of us. We also have an inner child filled with joy. We can choose to use either one for our creative benefit."

Living life from the inside out is all about connecting to who we really are and what better way to do this but by being creative and doing something fun, just because we can. I would really like to add just how much we do not prioritise this and yet how profound to our well being and life it absolutely is. When we don't connect to who we really are, just look around at the consequence of that and listen to what fills our head with absolute rubbish that we take on as a belief. So what do you have to loose, absolutely nothing but to give it ago, even for 5 mins.

How about trying to list 20 memories you have of being silly. Do not be concerned if you cannot think of all 20. Your subconscious loves questions and will work on it even when the list has been put away. These moments may then revisit you when you least expect it. If you were not silly, how could you have been silly?

"Be aware of wonder. Like a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some." - Robert Fulgham, author.
