Allow Creative Mystery To Enchant You
August 28, 2017 By Leave a Comment
When was the last time you felt enchanted or drawn by a sense of creative mystery, free of boundaries or rules? No plan, no specific path, just open opportunity led by curiosity? Can you recall when you last tuned into the creative mystery within yourself; to a connection that is felt and envisioned rather than drawn out on paper into a clear outline and process? Or, do you focus on the “practical” side of creating without inviting in the mystery of what’s … [Read more...]
The Power In Taking Little Steps Forward
August 14, 2017 By 1 Comment
There’s always power in taking little steps forward. Little steps allow you to feel into something slowly, build clarity bit by bit, and ignite sparks of courage that prompt you to leap outside of your comfort zone. Small, consistent efforts also create forward movement, guiding energy towards growth and awareness by how things feel in the heart, instead of how the mind thinks they should be or flow. As you tune into more heart-centered choices … [Read more...]
Do You Embrace or Suppress the Creative Storm Brewing Within?
July 31, 2017 By 1 Comment
There’s a creative storm brewing within you right now. Yes, you. It might not feel like much of a storm. Perhaps it seems more like a collection of thoughts, desires, emotions, and experiences circling about, building momentum. Churning. Brushing up against each other, causing a little friction and fire as they dance together. But that’s how the creative spark works. It’s not a mind thing, it’s an inspiration thing. A feeling thing that’s unique … [Read more...]
How We Unleash Natural Talents When We Get Clear On Our “No’s”
July 17, 2017 By 2 Comments
The word “no” looks small on paper, but it’s a powerful word to express when it really means saying "yes" to something much bigger - our natural talents. As little ones we learn about the word “no” pretty quickly. Sometimes we were doing something legitimately unsafe and needed to be redirected. Other times the word was expressed with annoyance because of the state of mind, mood, and ingrained personal fear patterns of our caregivers, making us a bit … [Read more...]
How Can You Create More Freedom In Your Life?
July 3, 2017 By Leave a Comment
Freedom is a powerful word. We often strive to create more of it, but don't realize how our routines are keeping us far from it. Responsibilities can make us feel disconnected from our sense of freedom, shaping a mindset of "someday" instead of finding it in the now. Then, there's the physical aspects of freedom; how we are connected or disconnected from our body, feel stuck in a relationship, or struggle with a power dynamic within the scope of … [Read more...]
How Good Are You At Owning, Then Releasing, Your Mistakes?
June 19, 2017 By 2 Comments
We all make mistakes. What we don’t always realize is how we hold onto the energy of them long after they’ve transpired, and what it does to our self-esteem and creativity. Our mind can get caught up in repainting our memory or retelling the story of our mistakes, too. The creative inspiration that could be saved for our projects can run amok, crafting new villains and building fresh plot lines, all while we sit with the emotions, letting them replay larger and deeper into … [Read more...]
Break Away From Assumptions and Open Up New Creative Opportunities
June 5, 2017 By 1 Comment
I think it’s pretty safe to say everyone makes assumptions time to time that limit our ability to notice creative opportunities. Our assumptions can be rooted in the things we’ve learned, love, or have been burned by, and have come to shape our vision and values. Family influence and personal relationships fortify those assumptions even further. As intuitive beings, we also rely on the way we feel as part of our decision making process. Even when our intuition … [Read more...]
Why It’s Essential to Blaze a Fresh Trail Between Playing it Safe and Taking Risks
May 22, 2017 By 1 Comment
We each have a unique way of playing it safe or taking risks with our life choices and self-expression. It’s influenced by our age, personal circumstances, levels of fear, and patterns we’ve learned while growing up. The hurt we have accumulated, and held onto, also plays a big role in how we blaze this trail for ourselves, and what we expect is possible for us. For example, risks within a relationship may seem so much scarier than the ones along our … [Read more...]
