While working on a new project, Nicola Cairncross felt something was wrong so she stopped to think and regroup. Taking a couple of days off proved to be the right thing, as when she meditated and journaled, two MUCH better ideas came to her on two consecutive days. It literally felt as if some Creative Force was coming through her. Now she can deliver immense value while achieving her own marketing and business goals, but in a way that suits her much better.

What are you pushing to get done? Consider stopping and allowing Creative Force to come through instead. It's much more fun and certainly much easier!

Well, hi everyone, it's Nicola here, and I am coming to you from the top of Bar 360 in Stoupa in Greece, which is one of my favourite locations.

We were filming a series of tips for the ideal future customer or client for ClicksAndLeadsAcademy.com and where better to do that? It's quite hot though, I have to say.

It's been party central in Stoupa this week. We've actually been to a couple of parties and it's been quite exhausting, let me tell you. But the good news is that we don't have to get up too early because the 2 hour time difference makes it very easy for us to look like we're getting up early, when actually we're not so much.

So let's crack on with the show, shall we? So, I don't know if I've told you, I've been working through Michael Neill's Creating The Impossible book, and before you do each exercise every morning, you're supposed to Take Five, which, in my case, has actually developed into Take Fifteen, because I've moved onto Vishen Lakhiani's meditation, guided meditation, 6 Steps. And it takes you through compassion and gratitude, right through to your goals and dreams, and then, I find the 15 minutes really flies past.

And what I realised this morning was that I completely forgot about Michael Neills' book. I'd gone off to England, I'd been back to my speaking gig at the International Coach Federation, and I'd come back to Stoupa and Sarah had come with me and I got completely distracted from working through the book.

It's a 90-day exercise and I only got up to day 54. So today I resolved to do my 15-minute meditation and then to carry on with the exercises in the book. I am determined to finish this because I am not very good at finishing things. I'm a great starter. But I have to pass it off to other people, usually, any task, to get it completed. This is a bit of a monster mission for me, 90 days, but I am determined to see it through.

And lo and behold, day 54 was something I really needed to get my head around again. Which was, How would it be if you stopped pushing and let creative force that's in the universe come through? And it actually said the word "rely" - How would it be if you relied on the creative force of the universe?

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not very keen on relying on anybody except myself. How would it be if I made space to allow the creative force of the universe to come through?

So I'm determined to clear out my diary a little bit, clear out my to-do list a little bit, and just to leave some empty spaces to see what ideas the creative force, wherever it comes from, brings up in me. And then I'll put those ideas into action,
