Morning Motivation — Where’s your favorite spot to get away?
Where’s your favorite spot to get away? Wherever your favorite spot to get away from everything and everyone and rest is—a chair, a tree, a corner, a yard, a park, a dark movie theatre—get there! It’s time for a break, a rest, a recovery, a cup of tea, a quiet moment, time to reflect. It’s time to get away, however brief, and fill your creative well. Slip away to your favorite spot. Your creativity will thank you. Find your spot. Create a getaway. Create rest, rejuvenation and peace of mind. What are you going to create?...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — How can you help?
How can you help? Sometimes just what you need to help yourself is to help someone else. It can be a breath of fresh perspective to take the focus off of your wants, needs, desires, and projects long enough to look around at your family, friends, neighbors, community, state, country or the world. What’s going on? Who is in crisis? How can you help? Can you volunteer your time? Can you donate food, clothing, blankets? Can you choose to skip Starbucks two mornings in a row and contribute $10 to those in need? Do it. Expect nothing in return. Receive an amazing feeling. Help others. Help yourself. Create from what you have…the ability to help out in your...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — What footprint are you leaving?
What footprint are you leaving? Wherever you walk, whatever you say, however you behave it’s leaving a mark, an imprint, an impression. What footprint are you creating? How you eat leaves its mark on your body. How you speak affects those around you. How you act impacts what you accomplish. Every little thing—a thought, a word, an action—leaves a footprint in the world. Consciously create what you are putting out in order to leave a positive trail behind you. Make a positive choice. Leave a positive mark. Create a positive footprint. What are you going to create?...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Are you thinking outside the lines?
Are you thinking outside the lines? Instead of following the predictable path—complaining, comparing, competing, being afraid, wanting more of what you don’t have, behaving the way you always have—choose to think outside the lines of the usual, choose to think differently, choose to act differently. What if you react to everything and everyone with only smiles? See what happens. What if you choose to respond in a new way? If anger is the predictable reaction, choose to sing your response instead. Why not? See what happens. Choose to view what’s in front of you with a fresh perspective, a kind attitude, a creative lens. See what happens! Everything you...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of? Whatever you are afraid of choose to create from it instead of being paralyzed by it. Don’t let your fear stop you. Embrace it, explore it, process it, release it so you can keep creating! Whatever you’re afraid of—water, cranes, snakes, airplanes, failure, success, death—how can you create from that fear? What can you create from that fear? A website about water safety? A support group for others with an irrational fear of cranes? A book about the dangers of snake bites? A video blog about why flying on airplanes is bad? An appointment with a therapist? A documentary on failure and success? A visit to a cancer ward? A novel...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — It’s a new day! What are you going to create from it?
What are you going to create from today? Today is a new day. Forget about yesterday. Forget about last week. Forget about five years ago. Keep the lessons but forgive the mistakes and start fresh with this sunrise! Create the best day possible—a day full of smiles, kindness, peace, love and laughter—no matter where you are or what you have to create from, you have that control within your power. Choose to create something positive from this new day. Create from what you have…a new day. What are you going to create?...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — Are you frozen?
Are you frozen? Do you need to step back? Do you need to stop? Do you need to work on a different project for a while? When you are feeling frozen, stuck, lost, confused or unsure of what you are creating, how you are creating it or why you are creating it, instead of panicking you’ll never get it done, you’ll never figure it out, you’ll never find your rhythm again—create from your frozen state by stepping back. Stopping. Doing whatever you have to do to find your way to a pliable, free state of mind. Whether that’s a full stop, walking away, thinking about something else, doing something else, allowing yourself to completely disengage, freeing your mind,...

Where is your peace? Find your peace. Create from it. What are you going to create?...
Read MoreMorning Motivation—When will you take off?
When will you take off? You’re primed, pumped and almost ready to go. When will you actually take off? You’ve talked about “it” for weeks, months, maybe even years but yet you do nothing—action is missing from the equation. Snap out of it and get started! Whether your “it” is a diet, an exercise regimen, a business, an idea for your boss, a plan of attack on your debt, a strategy to strengthen your relationship, a program to ease your pain, a concept to change your world or to change the world at large—whatever “it” is—you have to increase the throttle, give “it” some fuel and let “it” take off. No more talk. No more waiting. No more sitting on the...
Read MoreMorning Motivation — How do you free your mind?
How do you free your mind? How do you free your mind—meditation, exercise, a hot bath, being in nature, hiking, spending time with friends, reading a book? Take the time to do it. If you’re feeling stuck in reality, trapped by your circumstances, held prisoner by your beliefs choose to free your mind—if only for a brief moment—and allow yourself to dream. Give yourself permission to envision what you have to create from forming, morphing and growing into creative combinations that will expand you, your family, your financial security and your life! Free your mind and dream. Create your dreams from what you have. What are you going to create?...
