The two never fail steps to kick start your creative energy.

There is something about the energy of the new year that arises from collective rest. We find the natural emergence of new inspiration, the desire to engage more deeply with ourselves and the arrival of fresh ideas wanting to be explored and expressed.

It’s in this unique window of time where most of the world is still waking from its slumber, that we need to consider how we want to harness this fertile energy. Do you want to stay the same for another year? Or are you ready to create something more meaningful?
 

If we don’t act now to awaken our creative process and set the spark alight, then our fearful minds will lead us back to the familiar and mundane, guiding us away from our enlivened desires.
 

There are two things you can do to set in motion a wave of flow and inspiration to fuel your creative journey.
 

Vision + Energy transcends resistance and takes us to the next level.
 

VISION
Having a vision is about letting go of the preconceived ideas of your own capabilities, and invites you to embrace your limitless capacity and move into alignment with what you want, and how you want to be in the world. This is an opportunity to reimagine your work and life for this next season and shows you where to direct your precious energy and attention. 

Your vision is not a goal or somewhere you get to, it's something you become.It’s a link into your internal world of knowing and desire that guides your process. It’s about being radically honest about what really matters to you and sets you up to stay the course when you hit rough seas.

So how do we create a vision? Here are some prompts to contemplate to get you started…
You can write the story of your life so where do you want to take it? How do you want to feel on the ride? What kind of creative person do you want to be? What do you want to bring into being? What does a creative life mean for you? What legacy do you want to leave behind?

ENERGY
The next piece is to create capacity and summon the energy to move through resistance. When we generate more energy in our body, we make space for more clarity to arise in our minds and more possibility to be felt in our hearts. 

Energy is the creative’s best friend. Without it, we have no drive, momentum, life force or stamina. When we have energy, we transcend our limits, find our flow and allow for more insights to appear.

As you feel into what kind of supportive rituals you want to welcome into your days, consider how you want to illuminate your energy. The most potent means to generate more energy is through daily meditation and pranayama (breath work). Just 20 minutes of meditation, morning and evening and a short breath practice is a game changer to set you up to bring your best ideas and creative life to fruition.
 

If you haven’t yet learned Vedic meditation check out my upcoming courses HERE and if you’ve fallen off the wagon now is the time to reconnect to your practice.

A simple and powerful healing and balancing breath practice is Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing. Just 3-5mins of this slow, considered breath each day (ideally before you meditate) will fill your brain and blood with oxygen, grounding you into the body and open your channel to feeling the joy of creating, making and play. Here’s a link to the practice.

Later this month I will open the next intake of my 3 month Creative Mentoring Journey for 2023. A space for you to explore your unique artistry, to colour outside the lines and to amplify your creative voice.  To find out more or to book in a call with me to see if it's your vibe, check out this link below.

I hope this is your year to dance in authenticity and land in the clarity and assuredness to share more of your magic with the world that is waiting for you.
