Part Three: A Practice of Trusting Inspiration

What it actually comes down to, though, is practicing following inspiration on a day-to-day basis, sometimes minute-to-minute. Overtime, it is a practice that can be cultivated and cherished as you start feeling and seeing the benefits in real time!

Part Two: Do You Trust Your Inspiration?

There were many surface things going on that this client thought might be the problem such as finding time outside of her other job or having a place she really liked to work in. But we soon discovered that all tweaks in those areas fell flat. The issue was her lack of inspiration. It wasn’t fun anymore.

Do You Trust Your Inspiration?

“My challenge is being all over the place and trying to figure out what to focus on, instead of thinking about everything I need to do all at once.” This was the challenge identified by a coaching client this week. Sound familiar? Of course it does! Who hasn’t had this challenge…

The Thing That Lights You Up

There are so many ways to approach a New Year. Oftentimes, this can take the shape of creating more things to do and accomplish. I have decided to try a slightly different approach this year.

After some reflection, I identified a few things that really light me up that I am not giving much attention to. Some of these things were bigger concepts, but ultimately I selected one thing to focus more on this year that feels like a little thing for two reasons: 1. Because starting with something small feels less overwhelming. 2. I have a feeling that this little thing might be bigger than I think...

Although giving more attention to this little thing seems doable because it is little, the last thing I want to do is to add more things to my to-do list, no matter how little it seems. What I want is to simplify - to take little things that light me up and use them as an alignment tool - to get clear on what things are simply distractions from following my true self, my true vision, my true joy and let them go.

If this process seems a little vague, that’s because it is! I haven’t really approached a New Year in quite this way before and I’m super curious to see where it will lead. (By the way, my little thing has to do with art-making, so you will get to see where it is leading as I go,…)

What little thing lights you up that could use more attention? What are your New Year’s rituals?
