šŸ”„Itā€™s not Failureā€¦ itā€™s FeedbackšŸ”„

49555771_2191368144248998_7565893360750166016_o.jpg

You get to choose how to see it & how to move forward from here.
Dismiss yourself as a failure? Or Accept the gift of lessons from that feedback?

āš”ļøItā€™s not a Freak outā€¦ itā€™s the wrong Focusāš”ļø
Focus on the flow & what you want to receive or connect to.

šŸ’–Focus on the resources you DO haveā€¦
it may not be dressed the way you like & youā€™ve labeled it ā€˜not good enoughā€™
Itā€™s probably always been available to you while you got distracted with the fancy stuff.

šŸ’–Focus on the Funā€¦not the Fear
Yes! You do get to choose!

Focus on YOU & YOUR SOUL calling.

A simple way to Start? To keep going? To move Forward? 
To finally Finish that creative work, that project or that masterpiece?

Think of these three:
āœØCONFIDENCEāœØ
āœØCONNECTIONāœØ
āœØCOMMUNICATEāœØ

Your next steps will be towards one of these (probably all three but one of these will be the priority & will lead to the others)

>> SIDENOTE:
Here is where you get to practice tapping to your soul calling, practice recognising & discerning which voice is which.
Which is soul? Which is a ā€˜shouldā€™? 
Which is soul? Which is a ā€˜society says everyone does it this wayā€™?
Which is soul? Which is the scheming shrill of shame, guilt & fear?

ā€”

OK..back to these three

āœØDo you need to find your CONFIDENCE?āœØ
To feel like youā€™re capable, to get that quick win to boost your morale to keep going?

To get that boost of ā€˜hey Iā€™m ok! I can totally do this!ā€™
That boost of confidence leads to Trust & trust in yourself will lead to feeling the Connection to your creativity, your vision & values, your next steps
AND that confidence will lead to you clearly Communicating that vision, next step & express your art.

šŸ”„If itā€™s Confidence you need, Ask yourself:
> What can I do, to feel capable & confident to take the next step?
(HINT: sometimes itā€™s a small step forward, a quick win, or something completely unrelated like doing a quick clean of the house, plotting out the big picture vision, clearing your wardrobe! Ask yourself/soul what you need to do next)

ā€”

āœØDo you need to find your CONNECTION?āœØ
To feel inspired, to feel the call, to understand the vision & big picture from the Muse?

To get that boost of ā€˜OF COURSE! It works like this! It looks like that! AND it plays out like this!ā€™

For all the clean studios or tidy house or getting all your ducks in a rowā€¦sometimes they are just distractions & totally unsatisfying because you havenā€™t CONNECTED to your Muse. 
To the heart & soul of your work.

To that divine inspiration most people mistakenly think is randomly bestowed on a lucky select few. (As a Muse Mama, you KNOW that it is blessed to those who make it an intentional habit & mindful connection with their work EVEN WHEN they donā€™t ā€˜feelā€™ inspired)

This is when, cleaning the house, buying the perfect art supplies, researching for the perfect appā€¦ are all distractions from just sitting your butt on the chair, standing in front of that easel, staring at that blank screen & COMMIT to connect within and allow whatever come out.

This commitment to the CONNECTION will lead to Communicating your craft. It also leads to consistently showing up regardless of ā€˜feelingsā€™ and that leads to Confidence in your connection & it becomes a virtuous cycle.

šŸ”„If itā€™s CONNECTION you need, Ask yourself:
> What can I do to feel connected to my Self / Spirit / Soul?
(HINT: It may be a ritual of lighting a candle & saying a prayer OR as simple as taking a moment to mindfully pause & ask for the next step)

ā€”

āœØDo you need to COMMUNICATE?āœØ
To feel the flow & be ā€˜in the zoneā€™? Youā€™ve got the ideas & itā€™s getting pent up but youā€™re ā€˜too busyā€™

Maybe whatever youā€™re working on isnā€™t quite working. Feeling distracted & frustrated?

What Iā€™ve learnt as a professional artist AND as a mama creative -- my connection to my creativity is SO part of my life I rarely feel uncreative. 
Confidence is usually something I can find if I put on my big girl pants and cross off things on my list & do whatever I need to bring out the warrior mama.

BUTā€¦ if Iā€™m feeling frustrated & distracted? If flow isnā€™tā€¦flowing?

itā€™s usually because Iā€™m not creating & allowing the art to COMMUNICATE.

Itā€™s usually because Iā€™m not writing or allowing the message to FLOW

Itā€™s usually because Iā€™m not communicating my own needs or desires.

šŸ”„If you need to COMMUNICATE, Ask yourself:
> What am I trying to say? (Or replay ā€˜Iā€™ with ā€˜the artā€™)
> What am I trying NOT to say?
> What do I NEED to say?
> How can I communicate that NOW, HERE & WITH WHAT I HAVE?
(HINT: Communication can be in words, spoken or typed, in colour, in song, in movement or even in meditation & soul connection -- use your creativity to find the channel you need to allow flow!)

Which of the three do you need?
Which of the three is your weak spot?

Remember, there is no 'wrong' way or answer...there is just feedback for your next steps. 
You are more creative & amazing than you're allowing yourself to acknowledge.

Comment below your next inspired steps!
