Are you reinventing?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   Are you stuck?  Does it all look the same?  Is your vision blurring?  STOP whatever you’re doing and reinvent it all!  Close your eyes.  Visualize the situation, the problem, the creation in another color, as if it wasn’t your problem, if the situation were under another set of circumstances.  Try something else.  Turn it upside down.  Take a piece away from it.  Walk away for five minutes.  Do whatever it takes to think, see, feel, act, and respond differently and reinvent how you’re thinking and reinvent what you have to create from!  Free up your mind to put odd things together to make it look fresh, new, weird.  Talk it out in another...

Rattlesnake Syndrome

Rattlesnake Syndrome

I’ve lived in the same town and in the same house my entire life.  Most of the people I graduated high school with I have known since I was four.  I know my home town like the back of my hand.   My grandma calls that Rattlesnake Syndrome.  Rattlesnakes can only live a few miles away from where they are born—they have very specific habitat requirements.  My decision to move over 700 miles away for college definitely meant I did not have Rattlesnake Syndrome!  Change was not something I was accustomed to which is why I think I was so eager for it. I went to school in a foreign place called Colorado, two states away from my family in Missouri.  I felt so special going so...

How high can you soar?

Posted by

Morning Motivation Do you ever find yourself on a roll, in the flow, feeling magical only to suddenly stop it, your self, the creation when fear, doubt, panic, jealousy, anger, comparing, competing or the need for validation swoop in and crush your creative flight?  It’s time to let go of any restrictions!  It’s time to give you permission.  It’s time to fly without a ceiling.  Let yourself soar.  See how high you can go.  Find out what you can create at such heights. Let go of your fear. Forget your doubt. Release your anxiety. Give yourself permission to soar. Create from what you have—an infinite stratosphere. What are you going to create?  ...

What is feeding you?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   You control what feeds you, literally as well as figuratively—food, drink, friends, family, news, books, entertainment, communication, community.  Instead of mindlessly accepting whatever comes your way to feed your mind, body and spirit, consciously choose what feeds you.  What are you choosing to eat?  What are you choosing to drink?  Who are you choosing to spend your time with?  Who are you surrounding yourself with?  What are you looking at?  What are you letting in your brain?  Where are you living?  How are you living?  Create the mind, body and spirit you aspire to have by carefully selecting what feeds you.  Feed yourself well. Feed...

How are you decorating your life?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   Instead of thinking you shouldn’t or you can’t or it’s not appropriate to get creative in your life, decide there are absolutely no limits!  Your life is your tree to decorate however and with whatever that brings you the most joy, brings out the best in you and shares your uniqueness with the world.  Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks.  Don’t worry about matching.  Don’t worry about fitting in.  If the combinations you see in your imagination don’t exist, create them.  Be audacious in your decorating!  It’s your life.  Decorate it. Be audacious. Create your life’s decorations. What are you going to create?    ...

What are you creating?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   Every moment of every minute of every day through every thought, intention, word, and action we are creating our lives.  What are you creating?  Is it what you dream of?  Is it what you hope for?  Is it what you aspire to be?  Don’t just think.  Don’t just set intention.  Don’t just talk.  Don’t just dream.  Don’t just imagine.  Don’t just hope.  Do them all while channeling them into concrete and focused actions!  Take one small step forward towards what you want to create every day, whatever it is that you want to create, and you’ll be that much closer to it.  There is no easy, magical, imaginary path.  You must create the life you want...

Are you reaching for a new peak?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   No matter where you are in life—how high or how low—you have three choices:  go higher, go lower, or stay in the same place.  Choose higher!  Look up!  Look forward!  Keep reaching!  Instead of sliding backwards, instead of stopping, instead of giving up, choose to keep going.  Choose to keep moving forward.  Choose to keep reaching.  Keep creating to reach a new peak.  Keep creating to find a new peak.  Keep creating beyond what you think your peak is.  Create from wherever you are with whatever you have right now and keep reaching for a new peak. Keep going up. Keep going forward. Keep going for a new peak. Create from wherever you are....

Is the grass really greener?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   The grass only looks greener on the other side of the fence because you aren’t paying attention to your own side!  Instead of putting your focus on other people’s success, relationships and lives put your focus on your success, your relationships, and your dreams!  Stop competing.  Stop comparing.  Start seeing the potential of your life.  Get busy creating from what you have—your own green grass to make greener. Don’t compete. Don’t compare. Look at what you have. See the potential. Create from it. What are you going to create?    ...
