What layers are you ready to let go?
Each
day, a quote, an image, several questions and a writing prompt are
offered to you
to use for Your Writing & Creative Inspiration in order to
increase your creative thinking as well as your personal and soulful
development.
The most helpful strategy is to read the quote, questions, prompt and list and not to "take them on" all at once, but to allow them to simmer in the back of your mind throughout the day. Sure, you may "write" one immediately, but don't call it "done" until you have allowed your powerful subconscious mind to bring up some unexpected responses for your conscious mind to create within.
Quote:
"People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them."
-- Veronica Roth
Questions:
Is there a secret you are holding for someone else? What does that feel like for you?
Do you hold a secret within yourself? What would happen if it was "found out?"
If a person you trusted started to unlayer your layers, your secrets and more layers, what would they find there? How would you change from being that vulnerable?
List:
Once your list is complete, choose one or two items for an additional writing prompt. Keep adding to your list as you go along for the next few days, even if you go over 10 or over 5.
Write a list of 10 Lessons Secrets have taught you.
Write a list of 5 people you would trust with a secret. Why them?
Writing/Blogging/Creativity Prompt
If I told you my secret, you would....
If you told me your secret, I would.....
The secrets other people kept from me have.....
Field Work
There are two ways to handle this one:
1. Create a work of art on the theme of "My Secrets"
2. Seek out conversations with people you can be vulnerable with and vice versa. Initiate open hearted talks about secrets: yours, theirs and others and how secrets have impacted your life. Later, write about it or create more art around it... or whatever suits you and your work.
Be open to wherever creativity takes you.
