Warrior of a Peaceful Heart - Amongst Women Artists

This new year I ask a question. What is your life’s quest? Is it to move mountains, start a business, write those words that have been spinning around in your head, or maybe travel more.
While life often leads us on a road of wanting and waiting for the right moment my quest is that of a peaceful heart. Like many I feel everything with such magnitude that peace has become like liquid gold. Our attention is always diverted away from what settles us in search of the next dopamine hit. But what puts your heart at peace?
The obvious answer is those whom we love and our pets. What I’d like to propose is that pushing your boundaries in creativity and self worth can achieve the same feeling of contentment and bliss. Being peaceful can be difficult and not that achievable by many in this modern society, the thought of meditation and sitting with your own thoughts can literally drive some people mad. Creativity allows for a gap in the noise and a chance to listen to your intuition, this space is where you’ll find peace and faith a break from the noise and the opportunity to be in a state of flow.
The video in this post is of a painting I created last year, of the powerful force that we can become when we focus our mind. I wasn’t aiming for perfection here, in fact I had no idea what I was going to paint, but the very act of losing oneself was cathartic. It has lead me on a path of deep contemplation, giving me the strength to achieve some bigger projects this year. A journey of a thousand miles beings with one step.
My new year is not about going to the gym or losing weight, although lengthy walks in the woods with the dogs is on the menu, it’s about becoming creatively strong in order to produce the best work I can. Being among Women Artists everywhere.
2019 is set to be a year of pushing personal boundaries, learning how to breathe fully to experience the depth of my heart through creativity, and becoming a Warrior Of A Peaceful Heart.
