8 Things That Have Dramatically Raised The Bar In My Creative Life!

Creativity is all of life. Like breathing, eating, sleeping… all of these core things central to life are all creative. Everything is creative. Everything.

I share these things because we are all in this creative up-leveling together, rising up to more of our potential made manifest.

A few years ago, I had my ass kicked in a creative sense, my self-reflection hit a point of tempest and, then, suddenly… it was all an enormous breakthrough that felt very worth it.

First, my friend let me know that my work was devoid of all my brilliance.

Best. Thing. Ever.

There was nothing better than to hear very clearly and see very easily that she was 100% right.

Being so “busy” the robot writer stated to show up to write this blog instead of me.  I can write well in robot mode and maybe you can, too.  The thing is… there’s just no energy behind it that makes it fulfilling.

The data is great. The knowledge, sure, all good.

But that’s not why I do this. And that’s not why many of you are here.

Hitting a moment where I literally threw my hands up and said, “Why am I not in love with writing the blog any more…?”

I heard that response:

“It’s just not full of your brilliance. Your brilliance isn’t coming through in your work.”

What a moment. Turning fork moment.  A moment that made me say…

“I am dedicating myself to going all in.”

The next events that followed were nothing short of fire. Rooms cheering.  Tears. Hugs.  That insane magic flowing freely.

Listen to constructive (even brutal) criticism if it rings true.

The energy you do things with is way more important than what you do.

Yep. You can do less and succeed more of want you do is done with the force of lightning.

Life matters more than achievement.

If you look at your life and it’s resembling a hamster wheel, it is time for a change.  I know plenty of people who THRIVE in lots of work, but it’s a flow.  It’s not a struggle. Connect more to what you do and you won’t have that feeling of dread and force.  You can live more and feel less burdened by artificial achievement standards.  Your happy, fulfilled and awesome life is an achievement.

Medical Medium rocked my world.

I quit (for the most part) dairy, starting drinking celery juice and eating tons and tons of wild blueberries, among other things.

All these things–  easy and amazing– were prompted by the work of Anthony William.  They’ve have been incredible for my life in ways (emotional… mental… energetic) that I could not have anticipated.

Yes, his work is channeled by spirit in some intuitive way, a fact that prompts many people I know to let me know they think he’s crazy.

All creativity is channeled in some intuitive way, and because he’s talking about eating blueberries and herbs and not suggesting he knows all the mysteries of life, I was on board to see what happens.

Forgive yourself.

It is so freeing and important.

Speaking of alignment… it is so outstandingly important. 

From ergonomic charts to standing desks, stretching to long walks, checking my posture… this is all of primary importance to me now.

You are an intuitive. 

Yes you are.  Yes I am. Follow how you feel.

Do the stuff that moves your body into a state of thrill.

If I am not dramatically moved by a creative project, event, or anything else…

If there’s no core “pull” toward it…

I don’t bother.

It doesn’t work.  It becomes too much work.  It loses meaning.  It isn’t the goal or the path.

Where to focus and what to work towards isn’t intellectual. It is all a felt-sense. Every part of your body comes to life in the forward motion when you are enchanted by an idea.

You know, I have driven around the farthest points in Los Angeles collecting the ingredients for an exciting new recipe or getting the ideal vegan ice cream beachside, 10 miles from my house… but you can barely get me to put my shoes on to get any groceries al all when there’s nothing left but ice in the freezer.

Big difference, you know?

Cross it off your list if it isn’t inspiring you to action and add in something that does.

!!!

With so much love, let’s make it an unforgettable season ahead…!
