WALKING YOUR CREATIVE PATH
​

IF you could have your wish to realize your creative passion, how do you think you would feel?
Odds are that you would feel completely different than you feel right now! You may experience a deep satisfaction, an awakening, or simply a breakthrough.

Everyone has the ability to be creative. One of the ways of being human means you have a higher intelligence and an imagination.

We can create, dream, build, design, plan, and solve problems with our creative imaginations. And conversely, we also create our own problems, dismiss our dreams, plans, and designs.

Unfortunately, they never emerge and flourish because of the way we view ourselves.
I have always been a day dreamer and a visual learner. While in school I felt a sense of inferiority because of my problems with focusing on logical and linear learning modalities. School systems, workplace environments, and societal organizations value more logical and liner thinking and problem solving. For day dreamers and visual learners this is a problem when trying to fit in!

Certainly there's a place for day dreaming, and most people will day dream when doing non-focused type of activities such as sitting, walking, household chores, bathing, and relaxing. Day dreaming occupies a space within our imagination.

Imagination isn't the same as creativity. Creativity holds the space of doing something original that has value.

If you find yourself day dreaming about your creative ideas, projects, and big vision, don't stop! Your day dreaming is a fertile garden to step into. It's in this space you will nurture your wishes, hopes and dreams.


Allow your dreams, visions, big ideas, hopes, designs, and wishes to flourish and grow. Give it space and honor whatever comes to you.

When we work together, I will walk with you down your garden path. We will weed out toxic thoughts and beliefs while clearing room for new beneficial thoughts to germinate and grow.

Having an awareness and Noticing (self-talk) what you tell yourself is key to realigning your intentions, values and goals.

As the saying goes, "we are our own worst critic". This critical voice has no job description in our day dream. We will assign a new job for your critic! Listening to our inner critic builds limiting beliefs; such as, "I'm never going to be able to do this". Another common limiting belief is; "who do I think I'm fooling to try____"(fill in the blank). Comments like these only stifle our creative thoughts. We need to rid our thinking of limiting beliefs.


Other Ways to Clear Your Path

• Acknowledging and dialoging with your inner critic. The goal is to start transforming this critic.
• Facing the "5 blocks" that prevents you from starting your creative vision.
• Having an experience on the coaching call, your negative self talk is broken down into very small steps so you gain an awareness of where to start changing what you're telling yourself.

I invite you to join me as I share, guide, and help you transform your inner critic so that you experience a more peaceful, whole, and vibrant life

With peace and love,
Laura
