💫I AM - CREATE💫
So lately I have been spending time with my creative side.
The part of me that over the years has been quiet, soft but always there.
The part of me that shows up when I’m spending too much time in my head. Being serious, being ‘boring’. Feeling low, fearful, watching too much tv or doom scrolling on my phone.
It’s the part of me that’s patient. Waiting for a chance to shine.
Waiting like a 6 year old child, to remind me that the world is beautiful. That the world isn’t as bad as we are being led to believe.
Remembering that fear and despair feed this negative pattern; very cleverly making us sick and feeling lost.
Remember those years of division and fear? Not being able to hug our loved ones?
This morning, after the Full Moon, I woke up later than usual. I went to bed really early too. My body clearly needed to rest, restore and rebalance. The dreams were vivid and my sleep was heavy. Much needed after my birthday weekend of broken sleep and indulgent food and drink.
I’ve started working with The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron — a 12-week journey. Eeek! Commitment. Structure. Accountability. Uncomfortable moments.
My first reaction? ‘Brilliant! Bring it on!’ But today, day 3, the task in hand has already started to stir up some interesting feelings.
Writing daily morning pages. No excuses. Finding time just for me.
Taking myself out on a 2 hour date with myself - what? By myself without the dog? Without an agenda apart from going to do something for myself? How very odd! 😁
Somehow, that feels more selfish than building my business or following my dream. But if I cannot make time for myself, how on earth am I supposed to expect my clients to do the same?
So, this is my raw confession: I’m uncomfortable with the challenge ahead. But I’m also excited.
I’m looking forward to moving through this workshop week by week — warts and all. No excuses!
Learning to enjoy the journey, rather than rushing to the destination.
Much love
Julie 💕🙏💕
