In my Brainz podcast, these words fell out of my mouth, and I realized that’s all it takes! This simple moment took me to living new vibrant creativity beyond my imagination at that time; with baby steps each day we change our lives to echo our inner calling but why do we often forget?
They don’t want you to know
We can create any excuse to stay away from the project that will elevate us simply because of what is in front of us, rain or shine, economy or window cleaner it doesn't matter, ego will make what IS more important than what you want which is why procrastination is a common denominator in our modern world. In truth, not having “it”, is simply not being aligned with what you want, with your desire, your cosmic flow and believing that you are stuck. It’s avoiding the truth, which is that you can bring through any idea and connect to it whenever you like! Our ancestors knew it, the genius’s of our time knew about it (and were asked to keep quiet!) so it is time to get on board with connecting to your imagination and live from your creative flow!
What do you want to create?
Do you allow yourself to dream? If not, this is your step 1. Recognise it, something, someone, somewhere put a sniffle in your energy field & you allowed it to stay. It's okay… it happens to everyone! Now, let those doubts go! And choose to allow yourself to dream of something you would love, and stay with it, feel it, imagine living it … don’t ignore it, push it away or doubt it, stay there for as long as you can … and keep counting! Keep counting …
How is your imagination station?
Imagine your mind like an engine; there are the essential parts, for example, where we remember to walk, to speak, to tie our shoelaces, all the rational to be able to live, and then there’s the creativity! If you close your eyes and ask what my creative mind looks like right now, what do you receive? Write down what you get and any of the following;
Was there colour?
What did it feel like?
How many rooms were there?
Was it inviting?
Was it dormant?
Were there other people?
Would you like to stay there longer?
Now I've found it, what do I do with it?
You use it! Just like riding a bike, we have to utilise our creativity to keep those wheels turning. So, pick one area of your life you would like to add your own creative spice to. Whether it's cooking, friendship, your home, or a gift. Just pick one and ask what my creativity desires now. Fall deep into your heart and notice where the rational mind takes over.
And choose to give yourself a chance! Choose every day to play with your creativity and its imaginative gorgeousness! Let this space become more inviting for you every single day; like a flower blossoming or a child getting used to walking we need to give ourselves encouragement so that we do not fall back into the fears and procrastination. Become your own cheerleader and choose one thing, one dedication to bring you out of your comfort zone and into the play zone, where life gets juicy!
Tip
Creative spaces are amazing! I love holding online courses where we are all transforming with one another and there's a tangible structure, but what if thats not available for you in this moment? Tip: tune into your creativity first thing, before life gets in the way – “Give yourself a chance” are my words from my Brainz podcast episode. Before life gets noisy, focus on the one aspect you have chosen today, revisit it, reimagine it, and get your engine room working so that life can show you! You will begin to become the energy you feel and become the instrument for creation. If morning is no good, dedicate a space in your diary every day for 7 days. If you are thinking it, believing it, focusing on it… it's a matter of noticing the blocks and throwing them in the bin until, finally, you see your creation has arrived! You will begin to enjoy the journey and your subtle nuances instead of getting it right or needing your creativity to be a certain way. You may experience a battlefield between the rational mind, “We should be doing the dishes,” and the creative inner child, “Let's go play for five more minutes,” soon, you will realise there is no battle to be won because the heart always reigns (and even dishes can become fun!)
I look forward to hearing all that is arriving for you! (You can drop me a dm on social media to share your creations!) Purchase “The Sacred Dance; Wisdom from Leaders Living a Soul-Led Life” or listen to the Brainz Episode. Whatever you do Make Magic!
