Creative Workload Bonanza
I can’t tell you how excited and how proud I am of myself today. I created 36 pages of a goal setting workbook guide. Wait all of it. I am literally 2 pages away from finishing it. Well at least the first draft of what I plan to use with my life coaching clients. I spent the last 7+ hours now working on it. I took a 30 minute break here and there but I felt so much joy creating this and so excited that I couldn’t put it down! So what got me in the rhythm to write a 36 page workbook today? Meditation.
Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is put my headphones in and get right into my guided meditation. Today I did the third day and boy did it open me up in a great way. I was able to take my fear find out what emotion is attached beneath it and release both the fear, then the emotion. And not only this I took the memory attached to it and played it in my head. When I was releasing the emotions I thought to myself what the memories could possibly be, but it wasn’t until I let go of the emotions and fear that I was able to see the memories. THEY WERE NOT WHAT I THOUGHT. As these memories played in my head I felt nothing towards them, I watched it happen and thought to myself wow this is great. Because I no longer let them hold power over me, or spiral me out. I got to just watch them like a movie and be done with it and not engage. How awesome is that?
After that I felt so great. I wrote a newsletter for my business, then played with my dog and ran into some people I knew. It was great seeing them and being able to talk. After grabbing my coffee off I went and started my writing. It started with just a one page idea of what I wanted to create which led me down a rabbit hole of oh my god I can do a whole workbook. I have not felt so motivated or as creative as I have as I did today. Releasing that stuff through my meditation opened me up. Talking to others yesterday and brainstorming helped me get my ass on track. The things we talked about were helpful and some of it though great advice was not my path.
Another thing that helped me to get my ass in gear was opening myself up to talking with others about ideas! That for me is so helpful. I love talking, love words of affirmation, love logic, love philosophy, love going into unknown territory. It’s my favorite to ask what lies beyond this. I always ask what is deeper and when I finally hit bedrock, I go even deeper into it. I love getting right into the nitty gritty right away. When you surround yourself with people to help motivate you, that are successful in their own way, that make you question what you know, it helps you rise.
Do you have things you want to accomplish? Then find support, ask for help. I know how hard it is to ask for help, but there is more strength in asking for help then holding the weight of the world on your shoulders and doing it yourself. Join a club, join a gym, take a class, find a forum online, there is a place for everyone. Even if you think you are the outsider, the black sheep, the weirdo, I promise there is a place for you too, because I felt the same way. Even still feel that way. I just am chasing to show up instead of hiding. All hiding will do is keep you down, keep you insecure, and keep you stuck.
If anyone is interested in being a support group I can also create a Facebook group that will allow us to check in with one another, share ideas, hold events, and find a place where we belong. I know support group sounds like a weird thing or may have a negative air to them, but it’s just a group of people who are a bunch of badasses helping each other rise and find our highest selves. So if you are interested in this let me know! I hope you had a wonderful day my friend!
