Expression is closely connected with creation. It's our inner truth being externalized by our natural creative force.
There are a lot of forms in which we express ourselves. Writing poetry, having conversations, explaining concepts, talking about feelings, journaling, suggesting new ideas, dancing, humming melodies, painting, making videos, composing, etc.
Everyone has their preferred ways and maybe some that are more difficult because of blocks or fears. I notice that often speaking about ideas is more challenging for me than writing about them. Writing can even help with realizations, developing concepts, and understanding emotions.
So we could say, that which comes easy to us is where our strength is. That's what feels safer. It's within our comfort zone.
What if we're ready to grow and expand beyond what feels secure? Yes, there will be fear, but also excitement and happy determination. That's how we're able to recognize that it's coming from inspiration and that we're prepared for a challenge.
For a writer, it can be speaking. For someone always only keeping a privite journal, it can be sharing ideas publicly. For some it can simply start by recording your voice or making videos to yourself.
For me it's been evolving. I started with drawing for myself, later sharing with everyone, then writing poetry, recently it's been these blogs and I'm going to be making videos soon.
Expression is vital to our inner balance and wellbeing and it's how we connect to others. Unity is what we naturally are, therefore separating out of fear and keeping to ourselves is not a sustainable and healthy state of being for humans. Let's be brave and move forward towards connection! 💓
This is so true! A lot of times fear of failure has stopped me from exploring and venturing out of my comfort zone where I know I'm good at things, but that's when the real learning happens.
Looking forward to seeing your explorations!
Yes exactly, we always learn more by moving beyond what we're comfortable with... Thank you! 😊
It's imperative that we express ourselves and create. I resteemed this.
Thank you! Yess that's what we are here for.. :)
Expression is the ultimate joy we can experience, and when we are not expressing ourselves we tend to self destruct. Thank you for sharing this message
Yes, true. Thank you!
Thank you for writing the inspiring post. I too, find writing easier than expressing myself verbally. Perhaps, I'll find more courage in sharing my writings?
You're welcome 😊 Yes, definitely. I started with writing but I'm able to express myself better and better in conversations, and now I'm even starting with making videos. And all of that in English, which is not my native language. All it needs is some passion. :)
Hey, Alla!
I absolutely agree with you, and you managed to word it out so well.. Expression is a necessary part of our lives and development, and it surely is "our inner truth being externalized by our natural creative force" (love how you said it).
I think we've walked similar paths - I also started with sketches and artwork that I kept hidden away from everyone, but magic happened when I put my work out there. I used to be too critical of myself and dared not to share my writings and my drawings with the world, but it is so liberating to do that. To develop your skills, you also cannot do art in a vacuum. Positive feedback fuels you and keeps you going, and any recommendations are more than welcome, because they allow you to grow!
Cannot wait to see your art and definitely your videos! :)
Thank you so much! 😊 I looked at your website and your beautiful art :) Yess so liberating! And so encouraging to have a support of others. I made a new post with some examples of my art and you can also check out my website if you like :)
I made my first video today for a closed group but I'm thinking of starting to post on DTube soon :)
Thanks! Happy that you checked it out!
Wow, energy drawings and intuitive art, your work is amazing! 😊
Do it! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement! 💕
Steemit has helped me find my passion for expression again. Without algorithms to worry about, it feels like I'm free to be me again :)
Amazing! Yes, how encouraging! For me it's a new challenge and growth which is fun :)
If you have questions don't be shy! Or you can even make a post about any questions you have, and get paid to ask them lol
Thank you! Haha yes it might help others too :) It's all about connection, I love it :)

we.must.trascend.our(language);
Yes, language can be limiting. We need to read beyond the words...
As you said it in your article, expressing is sometimes difficult, words are 1 part of our Language, body lang,food lang,eyes lang, music lang, symbol lang, and now technology,it is the latest new form of our language for it is an extension of our minds.
I like your ideas and style of writing. Expression is so important and writing is so freeing for me too. Thank you for the post.
Thank you so much for reading and for your lovely words 😊 It made me happy :)
