Teaching is about information and understanding.
Coaching, however, is for intuition and implementation.
Here’s a 2-minute video if you’re all about firing up creativity and implementing what feeds your life!
How much creativity could your life stand?
Ray Bradbury said, “I have never had a dry spell in my life, mainly because I feed myself well, to the point of bursting. I wake early and hear my morning voices leaping around in my head like jumping beans. I get out of bed to trap them before they escape.”
We have a tendency to see creativity as being in play for making art. And it is. But creative impulse that is stuffed away is not benign, but haunts us and gradually taints the rest of our life, however successful it seems.
That book. That instrument. That canvas. That garden.
But it is also how we cook, what we grow, how we parent, how we work, how we communicate, how we feed ourselves on every level. It’s not a measured dose that we were each ladled out at birth but an upwelling in play every minute of every day. Feel around in yourself for it.
You can feel it.
If you ask it it will be happy to tell you what it wants you to do. What would it be like to live with it as a firehose, to know how to turn it higher?
When was the last time you leapt out of your bed to trap the astonishing flow from inside?
Really, when?
What does it take? Creativity is resilience is creativity, is resilience. We prime that pump, or we throw that energy away, and that’s what we regret when we die. It comes to this.
This week you can sign up with me at a terrific introductory price for a 1:1 hour-long Ignite your Creativity private coaching session to dig out where you stopped listening to that voice, and then make your clear action plan for your spring life in full play. You’ll gain a better understanding of where you say no to yourself in the rest of your life, and you’ll know what to do next.
To be insanely effective and sustainable at work, you don’t have to be getting your creativity and joy there.
But you better be getting it from somewhere.
