Have you ever had a great idea, but you stopped before you even started?
You wanted to start your own business, write your book or get on stage and reach a larger audience? Or play bigger?
Maybe you thought you weren’t good enough, or that it was never going to work out, or that you didn’t have the means to do it, or you feared that everybody would think you were crazy?
Or is not your time YET? (This is ultimately the worst excuse )
Or you wished you were braver?
If you as a mother feel you were put on this earth for a real purpose and to succeed in your calling I want to call you out. Step forward now.
Your Soul is calling you…
And the problem is that if you procrastinate, ignore, or don’t listen long enough, eventually your creativity dries up.
Your Soul stops’ calling you…
Last week a client told me that she feared she’d loose her talent to create art. She said: “I keep waiting and wonder about the right timing but somehow it never happens, and maybe it never will…”
Her honesty was admirable, and we all recognize ourselves in her. We allow our minds to talk us out of taking action, and we stifle our playful self with all kinds of reasons before we allow our inspiration to flow.
The first step to tap into your creative juices is to take action, and then you’ll get in the mood, not the other way around.
It’s like Leonardo da Vinci said:
“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.”
True self-confidence doesn’t come from a serious ego but from the Soul, who is playful and connected to your true source of genius. Your Soul has no fear.
So let’s play!
Here’s a playful approach to let go off your excuses by connecting you to your Soulful Self.
Take a moment, write the answers down, and have fun. It really takes the seriousness away.
