Meditation Alternatives for the Over-Activated
- Details
- Written by Twila Rurka

Do you like to engage in creative activities?
There are many ways to meditate, and any creative activity where you set an intention will help you reconnect. If you are feeling too activated right now, rather than trying to calm your mind in stillness and quiet, try this approach:
Engage in Creative Activities
When you’re feeling too activated to sit still and meditate, turn to creative outlets such as drawing, singing, dancing, or any passion you enjoy. These activities can be incredibly meditative and grounding when approached with intention.
Choose Your Expression and Topic
Once you’ve chosen how you want to express yourself, pick a topic that resonates with what you need in your life right now, such as “peace and calm.”
Make a List of Words
Start by making a list of words that come to mind when you think about your topic. Don’t overthink it; just write whatever comes freely. Use your senses to feel and express these words. This step helps engage your heart over your mind, which can often be cluttered with daily stress and negative thoughts.
Cathartic Release
After you’ve created your list, use a cathartic exercise to rid yourself of any negativity or stress in your body. This could be tearing up the paper, safely burning it, or transforming the words into art that symbolizes letting go. The goal is to release these feelings and clear space for positive energy.
Set Your Intention
Set a clear intention for your creative activity. It may take about ten minutes to get into the flow, but stay focused on what you desire in your life right now. For example, if you seek peace and calm, let these themes guide your creative process. As you engage in your activity, allow it to connect you to your higher self.
Focus on Positive Words
Now, make a list of things that bring you peace and calm. As you create, envision these things and engage all of your senses. Feel how these positive words sit in your body and let them inspire your creative expression.
Co-create with Your Higher Self
Put your intention into your chosen activity and co-create with your higher self. This practice is about nurturing your spirit and finding a path back to your true self. It’s a gentle reminder that you have the power to shift your energy and perspective through creativity and intention.
Remember, this process is not about achieving perfection but about reconnecting with your inner peace and creativity. Allow yourself the space to explore and express freely.
Love, light, healing, and blessings,
