Dream, Imagine, Create

When you feel down, unfulfilled or defeated, try spending more time Dreaming, Imagining and Creating. Simply giving yourself the time to unwind, unravel and relax is an important step in Creating a life that want to wake up to – every day. 💪

You can’t solve problems in your mind, when you are too caught up in the mind. You have to let go of your mind ‘chatter’ and make some space in your life for a bit of playfulness. 😀

We can only do what we love from this place of playfulness, otherwise we are lost in the drama, lost in the seriousness and lost in the passion of why we love it in the first place!

Once you’ve got playful regularly and when you know what you want, you are eager to wake up in the morning, eager to do the things you want and eager to share it with others. When you are eager to share it with others, you see the value in what you do and can begin to create an income from it too 😍

That’s why I created my Online Video Course “How to Make a Living, Doing what you Love” – to help create that eagerness inside you, so that you can feel the eagerness more often, remember why you are doing what you love and give continued support in helping you to make a Living from doing what you Love, everyday!

The Course is 21 Online Videos, 27 pdf’s, 2 audios and access to private facebook group. You get lifetime access to the Course. At the end of the Course you’ll be equipped with all the methods and techniques you need to start living the life you always dreamed of! 💗

The Course has one more day left on discount, so go check it out and make that step to taking your passion one step further….you’ll be so pleased that you did! 💪

Everything worth doing, takes Time

It’s really hard trying to juggle all the commitments and responsibilities that we all have, so I wanted to offer you a moment here, to be with yourself and contemplate Time, Creativity and being the beautiful Human Being that you are.

I invite you to simply relax and breathe. Just be with yourself and your own thoughts for one moment. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in slowly and exhale slowly. Ahhhhh! 🙂

Everything worth doing, takes Time, don’t you think?

Think of something that you hold importance to in your life. I am sure that whatever it is, its taken time to grow, nurture and develop. You hold it of value because its taken Time for you to cultivate. All our relationships, whether our partners, children, friends or family all take Time to nurture. In our work and personal lives, Successes, Failures, Emotional Blocks, Losses and Triumphs have all taken Time to grow or to heal. Thats why ALL of it is valuable.

From what I’ve seen with all the people I have taught over the years, is that one of the most important and worthy things you can do with your Time is: CREATE. The only difference is that some have trained their creative ‘muscle’ and some haven’t. Some have seen the importance of Creativity and some simply haven’t. Some have realised that to Create anything in life

(a baby, a job, a relationship, a piece of art…) takes TIME.

I believe that because Time is in the very essence of Creativity, it holds immense value to us, now more than ever. In our fast paced, always-something-to-DO modes, we forget that we are human BE-ings (not human do-ings!). When we simply ‘just be’ and then Create from that place, truly beautiful things happen. We re-connect to who we truly are, we see magic in the everyday and we start trusting our unique point of view. We gain in confidence, we speak our truth and we become less afraid of shining our personal light. These values underpin the very reasons why I love teaching Creativity.

How do you feel that Creativity positively effects your life? What does it mean to you and how do you connect with it?
I’d love to know. If you can, take the Time today to have some peace with yourself. You never know what you might Create from those thoughts. All Creation simply begins with a thought 🙂

In the decade that I have been teaching, I have come to realise that not everyone can attend Classes or Events that I host, due to other commitments. So, I’m currently working on a series of Online Courses that will help you connect to your Creativity – in your own Time. You’ll learn various ways to express and cultivate your Creativity, from the emotional side of things to the practical skills, that will help in both your Personal and Business lives.

With Warm Wishes,

Creatives in their early stages often struggle with Money VS Time. You have to pay the bills now, but you also want to do what you love and that takes TIME.

3 tips on Making a Creative Product

Hi Empowered Artists!

This week the video is all about making a creative product.

Its about the process of making a product, not the selling of a product (stay tuned – that will be in another video).

Having made a wide variety of products and sold them over the years, I have some key points to remember.

As always, if you need some one-to-one help with your project or product, I am available for sessions on Skype. Please visit the Coaching Page for full information.

Enjoy and see you next week!

With Warm Wishes,
