Who holds the keys?
Morning Motivation Who holds the keys—the key to breaking the block, the key to shifting thoughts, the key to adjusting attitude, the key to happiness, the key to the heart, the key to peace, the key to creativity, the key to creating the life you want? You do! You hold all of the keys. It’s easy to forget that. The urge, even instinct, to give away our power—to others, to society, to our own fears, doubt and anxiety—is strong. You have to fight it. You have to hold on to your own personal power. Utilizing help or inspiration or...
read moreAre you choosing to be brave?
Morning Motivation Every day you wake up you have a choice—to be brave or to be afraid. Are you choosing to be brave—to live, to love, to dream, to create, to fail, to get back up, to keep going? Or, are you letting fear win? Fear wins when you don’t believe in yourself. Fear wins when you don’t give your dreams a shot. Fear wins when you don’t take that chance on love. Fear wins when you decide to shelve that unconventional idea. Fear wins when you think you’re too old, too young, too uneducated, too ugly, too weird, or too...

Morning Motivation If you feel you’re working hard but aren’t seeing the results you want then there’s a problem! Action always equals a reaction, a result. Are you working hard for your dreams or someone else’s? Are you being honest with yourself about what and how much you’re really doing? Is the action you’re taking focused on a specific goal? Do you know where you want to go? Do you have a plan how to get there? Do you need to revise your plan? Do you know what “fruit” you want to produce? If you want to create...
read moreAre you dreaming or are you fantasizing?
Morning Motivation A dream is different than a fantasy. A dream is attainable—I want to be a teacher. A fantasy is imaginary—I want to be a unicorn. Dreams can come in all sizes, shapes, forms and colors—big, small, life size, tiny. What are your dreams? You can have more than one! They all matter and you can create them all—over time—some each day, some in the years to come. Dreams that can be created daily: health, laughter, a creative practice. Dreams that need daily action over longer periods of time for them to...
read moreAre you perched?
Morning Motivation Everything is in place. Everything is available. Everything is in order. You’re perched and ready to go. Why aren’t you going then?! Nothing is in place. Nothing is available. Nothing is in order. You’re perched and scared to go. Why aren’t you going then?! It will never feel perfect. It will always feel risky. So regardless of how or where or why you are perched, you must jump off and go for it! If you never leave your perch you’ll never find out where you can fly. Just jump. Take flight. Create from...
read moreAre you reinventing?
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...
read moreCan you?
Morning Motivation Can you? Yes! Don’t think you can. Know you can. You can do it. You can get there. You can figure it out. You can overcome it. You can create it—whatever it is. Believe in yourself. Believe in your creation. What are you going to create? ...
read moreHow high can you soar?
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...
read moreWhat is feeding you?
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...
read moreHow are you decorating your life?
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...
