Do you live creatively, or do you play it safe? The path to enlightenment is one that not many will take, because it requires courage, faith, creativity, inspiration. You might look foolish. You will most likely have to do things differently than your neighbor. You will be required to use intuition and free will in harmony with each other.

 

But the payoff is awe-inspiring. You will know who you truly are, deep down, at your core. You will experience things that few others have managed. Your understanding and experience of beauty and love and Spirit will know no bounds.

Try living creatively for a day. Listen to your heart and ignore your negative ego when it tells you that you can’t or gives you messages of fear. Take some risks, do something new, or do an old thing in a new way. Stretch a little. Do things as if no one were watching you. Speak your Truth. Make decisions that are interesting but generally out of character with how you usually are, just to see what that feels like.

Pay attention to how you feel at the end of the day.

The Best Way to Independent Living: 12 Simple Steps

If you want to live an independently active life, it’s important to understand the basics. That’s why we’re providing 12 simple steps that will help you achieve your goals. From setting boundaries and setting priorities to living a healthy lifestyle and finding ways to supplement your income, these steps can help you take control of your life.

How to Start Independent Living

Independent living in Canada is a way of life in which people self-relocate. It can refer to a lifestyle where people are free to live their own lives and make their own choices, or it could refer to the act of independence itself.

The term “independent living” can be used for different reasons, but all of its benefits boil down to one thing: freedom.

How Do You Start Independent Living?

There are many ways you can start independent living, but the most common approach is to choose an apartment or house on your own. This will give you total control over your environment and allow you to create the life that YOU want and deserve. There are also many ways to join a community and start building your network of friends, whether this is through online communities or in-person interactions.

The Benefits of Independent Living

Some of the benefits of independent living include: getting more done without being overwhelmed; having complete control over your life; feeling like you're in charge; making better choices for yourself; developing stronger relationships; improving mental health; and freeing up time for what truly matters in life- family, friends, personal growth, etc. Overall, independent living can be a very fulfilling way to live. It can help you achieve your goals and feel more in control of your life.

How to Do It

1. Start by getting organized: Make a list of your goals, and then come up with a plan to achieve them. This includes setting deadlines and working towards specific milestones.

2. Find a place to live: Choose the right place for you based on your lifestyle, budget, and needs.

3. Learn about independent living: When you’re ready, learn more about how to live on your own, free from judgment or interference from others.

4. Start Living Alone: Once you’ve learned about independent living, it’s time to start living on your own! Make sure you have all the necessary resources and know how to take care of yourself so you can relax and enjoy life fully.

Checklist for Successful Independent Living

Creating a plan is key to success in independent living. Make sure you are aware of your goals and what actions you will need to take to achieve them. This way, you can create a roadmap for your life that works for you and your budget. Keep a behavior journal to track your progress in managing your life. This can help plan future steps and develop goals for yourself. Keeping an accurate record of what you do, say, and think will help you stay on track and feel like you are making progress.

Make progress

Make sure you make progress to improve your lifestyle and maintain independence. Doing things like exploring new hobbies or learning new skills can help you become more self-reliant. And while it may feel hard at first, continual growth will eventually lead to improved living conditions and a greater sense of satisfaction with life. There are many ways to make progress in life, and it won't be easy. But with consistent effort, you can achieve better living conditions and a greater sense of satisfaction with life.

Enjoy life

Enjoying life is key to maintaining independence and enjoying the experiences of each day. This means taking time for yourself, doing things that make you happy, and enjoying the company of those who care about you. By following these simple steps, you’ll be on your way to achieving successful Independent Living!

Conclusion

Starting independent living can be a great way to live a fulfilling and unique life. There are many different ways to start Independent Living, so it's important to find the right one for you. By making a plan and working together with other members of your community, you can make progress in achieving your goals. If you're ready to take the plunge, make sure to check out our independent Living Checklist for Successful Independent Living.

Lately I’ve just been savoring the time at hand. The slow living of summer with my family that I so love has been nourishing for me. Tending my gardens and just spending time being in them is such an inspiration that I’ll draw from later in my paintings. However, time has now shifted once again as school has started back up this week. I’m not ready to let go. . #slowliving_create #gardeningismysuperpower #lazyorangecat #fillingmycreativewell #gettinginspired #livingcreatively #takingtime #jaimehaneyartstudio #studiogardens (at Posey County, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSfE0o0pJe8/?utm_medium=tumblr

On ambition and beating it.

Since starting my family, I’ve had a conflicted and torturous relationship with ambition. It pains me to want more more more outside of myself and those closest to me. It hurts to feel deficient. I have to consistently fight to remind myself that the more recognition I seek, the more I long to be noticed in a professional capacity, does not a happy human make.

As a mother, whose children are reaching and stretching out of babyhood, I have to push back against the desire to be seen more and more and more. Because the truth is, I don’t ever want to be one of those people who works herself ragged, outside of the home, and then rationalizes the damage I’m doing to my family and my body with how much I’m contributing financially. We have to provide for our families, but that can mean so many different things. Providing is complex, it’s nuanced. It’s food, water, shelter. It’s opportunity. It’s safety and trust and kept promises. It’s presence of mind and dignity. It’s emotional. It’s all the things we do between waking up and tucking in.

And the truth is, if it were all to burn down tomorrow—this beautiful life, the hope and promise for the future that I’m so grateful to find waiting for me every single day (even when I can’t see it or choose not to), this family of mine—I’d only want to remember what I did for them, how present and healthy I was, every one of those simple, quiet moments of contentedness. I’d only care to remember being together.

All of that being said, early this past spring, I became an absolute manic person with a big idea. When I say BIG IDEA, I mean it. I won’t get into what it started out as and its many evolutions since, but I will say that it taught me a lot about my limitations, my triggers, my strengths, and my mental health. When I finally took a month off, I was left with a shell of what was once bursting with life and beauty, but I eased into feeling balanced again. Decompressing from this massive endeavor actually felt pretty great. I reigned myself in and became present again. I stopped drinking coffee and started listening to my body. I carefully considered crucial things like blood sugar and my endocrine system. I don’t think it’s any coincidence that my chaotic resurgence coincided with both re-starting my cycle after 2+ years postpartum, and the thawing of winter, but it was a perfect storm of DO MORE, DO IT ALL, CREATE, MAKE, BE SOMEBODY, and it broke me.

Fast forward to now, on the other side of my “hiatus,” and I’m inching my way back into my project in a capacity that I think I can handle. I refuse to let it break my heart again. On the back burner (as per usual), I have a novel I’ve been working on for several years that I’m now adapting into a play. I’ve even been trying to write here again. But, most importantly, my eyes and hands and mind are back on my family. Bit of summer back story: we’d been barely scraping by this summer (no stipend) when Adam unexpectedly lost the part-time job he’d been working to make ends meet because the Professor he was working for had somehow miscalculated his funding (wtf), so needless to say, it’s nothing like sudden, serious broke-as-a-joke-ness to set a person straight.

What I mean to say with all of this, and what I want to remember from this time, is to always keep my head in the game and out of the clouds. I have a lot of different interests, I think most of us do. I’m not particularly skilled at anything, but I like to do what I do as well as I can. I want a lot out of this life since, you know, I’ve only got one short shot of it. I don’t ever want to let having no money keep me from happiness because that’s preposterous with all of my privileges. I want to remember that I’ve chosen to stay home with my children, despite how difficult it makes just about everything for us financially, because it’s what feels right, and above all other gut feelings, this one I trust with all I’ve got. I want to remember that as long as I’m present, making good choices, caring for my mind and body, and the minds and bodies of my children, that I AM ENOUGH. Dreaming is special and important, ambition shapes the world, but the day to day is, frankly, everything.
