Process: Listening to What Your Creations and Writing Have to Say

If you don’t know me, I’m a big believer in the magic of the creative process.

I want to share a really important message that is coming up for me in my process right now, and for the people I work with.

Everything you want to create is already created-

the heart’s desires calling out to you that you feel angst around or maybe some fear, or you are stuck on the next step or challenge–it’s already DONE.

In fact, not only is it done, but it wants to tell you how to make yourself see it done the way it sees itself done.

What I mean is that we can and should enter a dialogue with our creations rather than try to jam our way of thinking on it.

Imagine how it feels when someone tries to put you in a box–it doesn’t feel good does it?

No, it really doesn’t. No one likes that, least of all the beautiful glorious thing that is your creation.

It HATES it being put into a box. So stop putting it there.

Remember it is really its own creation. 

No one really owns creations, we can try and own them but if we don’t get moving then they are taken over by someone else.

Do any of us really OWN inspiration, either?

It’s a part of that magic of the universe connected to the great spirit in all things.

It’s pure magic, and magic is a part of all of us, owned by none, free.

Capture ideas but they will be gone if you don’t use them responsibly.

 

What I feel really needs to be said today is what I need to remind myself often:

Stop trying to tell your creations what to do, or how to be.

 

Stop telling your book it needs to be done now,

your business that it needs to produce now,

your way or the highway,

and LISTEN to what it has to say to you.

Maybe it wants things done in a different way than you want it.

 

Your Ego Hates Change and Working with your Creations Makes Change Happen.

 

The truth is that when you get super specific on the way the process is “supposed” to work to please you and make YOU feel good, that’s your ego getting in the way of change.

It doesn’t like change and when you start listening to your creations, you start making a change rather quickly and that freaks the EGO the hell out!!

 

So please take a moment today and tune in–what does your writing want from you?

What do you want from it?

Where’s the disconnect?

 

If you are a business owner, do the same

what do you want from your business?

and what does it want from you?

Where have you been resisting what it has to say?

 

Do you have trouble hearing the difference? Are you stuck?

Contact me to talk to me about it,

I would love to help you feel more connected.

 

That’s what I do– translate and meditate the relationship between creater and creation,

so you can make faster progress and really be understood.
