Let’s Seize the Day

Dear Creatrix,

Have you ever been without electricity for a longer period of time?

Most of us were born in a time and space where and when being able to turn a light switch and light up a room is the most common thing in the world.

So much so, that few people born in the west ever lived any other way.

In a way, we were (seemingly) born with some kind of god power, that enables us to be the god_desses of night and day.

Since the invention of artificial light, we are no longer forced to rest when the sun goes down, but can freely choose our waking and active hours.

Our body, though, has evolved for a very long time and is designed perfectly to go with the natural rhythm of night and day.

We can count the few generations before us on one hand, which have grown up with electricity in their homes.

So while light and electricity have existed all our lives, and seem like the most common and natural thing to us, who have never lived without it, our body still works in tune with the natural rhythms, and if we turn our nights into days, we confuse our body and work against its natural rhythm.

Why am I saying this? Because it’s important to question the things that are common in our society, but not necessarily good.

I’m no fan of conspiracy theories, and I don’t think that there is an evil force that keeps us from making the right choices in our lives.

I do believe everybody is always doing their best at all times.

It’s just, that while celebrating our technological advances, we’ve neglected to look at their side effects.

But they do show. I’m not going to prove the negative effects of not sleeping regularly to you, if you like, you can google that yourself.

I’m simply asking you to tune into your body and listen to its needs, and I promise you it will guide you towards what the right decisions for yourself.

And we can always come back to the question of: What do we want?

Do we want to be healthy, happy and free in an almost effortless way? Or do we want to struggle through life, exhausted and stressed?

If you choose the former, then we don’t need to make it harder on ourselves, by going against our natural rhythm.

Now there are theories out there, that say that some people are night owls and can work better at night and so on, but I would really ask you to be honest with yourself here if you think that’s you.

I most definitely thought I was one of those people, a night owl.

But it turned out I wasn’t (like no one is, as we’re all natural beings, biologically primed to go with the natural rhythm of time).

When I’m honest, then what I really liked about the nighttime and why I could get so much done then, was the fact that there are just not that many distracting energies around when most people are sleeping – something I’m very sensitive to.

Plus, no one was calling or wanting anything from me at night, so I enjoyed that peace and quiet to do the things I loved.

But now I also have that when I get up early, plus by learning to set and protect my boundaries, I can also choose when I’m available to calls and distractions during the day.

I really learned to value my sensitivity.

But instead of letting it make social situations uncomfortable for me, I learned to shield and protect myself so that I can live a free life and choose what’s best for me and am not forced to act in certain ways to avoid others or situations I can’t handle because of it.

So, if you consider yourself to be a night owl, just see if this might be true for you as well and decide how you want to live.

You have everything it takes to set your boundaries and live a life that supports your needs – and you can learn how in the CREATRIX School.

If you choose a free life, centred around your needs – so that you can also contribute to this world in the best possible way, and explore and enjoy as much as you like of it – then we will start setting up a new sleep routine now, and I will share all the science and tips and tricks we can use for that with you.

Today, we will begin by seeing how and why it helps us to flow through life with the daily rhythms instead of working against them.

Community – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

Starting today, and for the next four weeks, we will think about how we can be at our best with others and how we can use our unique abilities, gifts and talents to contribute to the greater good of all.

As the first week of each chapter in the CREATRIX School is all about assessing where we are, so we can let go of what doesn’t serve us any more, and invite more of what we do want, we start this chapter by looking at our hopes for the future of our world as well as the experiences we’ve made in community so far.

Community – Week 1 – Pt. 2

What do we mean when we say communities, and why do we need them?

There are different ways for communities to be organized. Sometimes, all people are equal and come together to organize things as equals.

Sometimes, there’s an initiator, or someone who finances the project and other people who organize and implement it.

Sometimes, there are some people who are paid and other people who volunteer.

What are the different kinds of projects or communities you have been involved in, or would like to get involved in, in your life?

Community – Week 1 – Pt. 3

How do you envision our future?

It’s easy to think there are so many problems in this world – what am I supposed to do about it – I can’t do anything but make the best of it – and that’s true to some extent – but also not entirely.

Because we’re not just here to get by. We’re not just here to arrange ourselves with what is already here – we are life and a part of the great symphony of life that’s playing right now, in this moment, and we get to contribute to it.

Community – Week 2 – Pt. 1

How to learn to love triggers

In this lesson, we look at why it is so important to unite for a cause and not against someone or something – if we want to create lasting change – no matter how much we might disagree with them or something.

And we look at how love really is always the answer, even, or especially, when someone or something upsets us.

Community – Week 2 – Pt. 2

How can we create a real alternative to what we currently have?

In this lesson, we talk about how judgement can be a very useful tool on our journey to becoming our most authentic and best selves and create the communities we wish for, as long as we don’t use it to condemn other people or to establish superiority.

We also think about how every trigger is really here for us to grow, and not something to be afraid of or to avoid and how punishment, just like suppression, doesn’t lead to anything beautiful – and what we can do instead.

Community – Week 2 – Pt. 3

On Freedom, Responsibility and our Nature

In this lesson, we look at how freedom and responsibility are linked and what that has to do with consciousness.

And how with a raised consciousness also comes more freedom and thus, by raising our consciousness and finding more inner peace, we also obliterate the need for violence.

And we look at another essential thing, that will help us be more aware in our community interactions – our role as humans in nature, in this world.

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 1

What’s your unique superpower?

We start this lesson with a short review of what we’ve learned in the last few lessons to resolve the most common problems found in communities today.

And then we begin to look at our unique superpowers, so we can become more confident in the way we contribute to any community, group or project we choose to support.

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 2

What’s your favourite archetype?

In this lesson, we dive deeper into the roles we can inhabit in a group or community setting.

Are you better fit for a creative role or a leading role, or both, or something else?

Knowing what we are good at, and also thinking about what we would like to learn and grow into, can help us immensely to find our place in any community setting and to be able to contribute in the best possible way.

This is also a great resource if you’d ever like to start your own project or company and can help you make sure all vital roles will be covered so that the project can run in the best possible way.

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 3

What’s your (stress) archetype?

Of course, things don’t always go the way we want them too.

Sometimes we get stressed, overwhelmed, take on too much or don’t dare to step into our power.

But we can always change and learn and grow.

Looking at the Occasional Archetypes, like the thief, victim, fool, hero_ine, adventurer and so on can help us to recognize these archetypes in ourselves and others and help us to come back into balance, whenever we slip into them.
