My Message Is Love

Today is my 406th consecutive day of silent meditation.

I have had a habit of meditation for many years, but it had previously been on and off - dedicated for a while, no meditation for another while – you know how it goes!

With that kind of practice, though, it became really obvious to me how much better my life works with a practice of daily meditation than without.

It still took me years to actually commit to a non-negotiable daily practice. That begs another question: why do we resist or not do the things we know will benefit us?

And further… why is being still and silent in life considered strange in life, while being busy in like a badge of honour!?

Anyway, the practice of daily meditation has been a game changer in my life and I was delighted to have the opportunity to talk with Zack Shay as part of her Spirituality in Business series and tell her all about it!

We also talk about:

- How to stop hustling and lean into the feeling

- How to bring playfulness into your business and life to help it expand and grow

- The choice I made that allowed me to truly commit to daily meditation

Do you have a message that you want to share, but the only problem is that you don’t like being the center of attention?

Let me introduce you to Tara Rae Bradford!

Tara is a Publicity Strategist and she helps entrepreneurs get featured in the media, reach millions of people and move from feeling like an Imposter to being an influencer – even when they don’t like being the center of attention!

Tara left her job as a critical care nurse to pursue her coaching business and media company, Rae media and she has a message for you – that your message is bigger than you and that it’s time to make the global impact you are meant to make.

I know you are going to absolutely love this interview!

Meditation is a practical support to mind mastery, relaxation, mental health and creativity – including, of course, writing.

Meditation brings you into the present moment. It takes you out of the busy-ness of your mind and helps create stillness and in-the-moment awareness.

Know what happens then? You find out what is really important. You start to hear “the signal within the noise”. You get clear about things like how you really feel that you realize you felt. Basically, you open to guidance that you wouldn’t otherwise hear.

In this podcast, I will be explaining meditation in a way that is clear, gives a sense of how and why meditation might be important, and even life changing, for you and last of all I’ll give you a no-nonsense guide to how to give it a try.

It’s a dream for all of us creatives, right? To be earning a living through what is our passion, through what we love to do and create…

Why? So we can more easily and enjoy our lives! That, to me, is what Creative Entrepreneurship is all about.

So what is a Creative Entrepreneur?

A Creative Entrepreneur is someone who creates a business - and a living - through doing the things they love creatively.

Today, I have something special for you! I am interviewing Tracy Durrant, Business and Lifestyle Coach. Tracy is launching her first book next week, “Plan It Now! Quit The Burnout Business And Become A Creative Entrepreneur.”

In this interview, Tracy she shares so much great guidance about Creative Entrepreneurship, but she also shares about her own experience of writing this, her first book.

 Please note: The audio on my side of this recording isn’t great, and my apologies for that. Tracy’s, however, is great, and she is the one sharing all the wisdom! It’s well worth a listen!

Check out the episode notes to find out how to order Tracy’s book!

Have you got a beautifully bionic creative brain – bursting with new ideas all the time, full of creativity and compelling you to go in multiple directions at once?

There are so many interesting and cool things to potentially spend time on in life, but the problem therein is if you go off following every idea you have, here’s what happens: not much.

You can’t make proper progress with anything, that leads to you feeling unfulfilled and that so often leads to losing faith in yourself, feeling overwhelmed, getting demoralized…

So how do you make sure you are productive and made progress while respecting your multi-passionate, hypercreative nature?

Listen to today’s podcast, my kindred friend…

Lately, I keep hearing people around me talking about their lives with dissatisfaction, saying things like:

· I thought I’d be further along by now.

· I’ve been working so hard but it doesn’t seem like I’m making any progress.

· I can’t seem to create the changes I want in my life – nothing works.

· I’m lost. I don’t know what my next step is.

· I thought it would be different.

So how do go do it? If you feel like you are made for more than the life you are living… how do you go about creating the change you’re wanting?

Find out in today’s podcast where I talk all about why resistance to the present moment is futile, about the power of surrendering and I offer 8 steps to create the changes you are wanting in your life and step into the "more" you are desiring.

Writing a book is not a small endeavor.

It's more than just the research or the writing of words or the doing the work or the putting yourself ‘out there’. 

Writing a book is potentially life-changing.

Why?

It is because writing a book demands that you look deeply into yourself and it calls for you to share your message and your creativity fully and energetically and unapologetically.

It calls for you to overcome any fears or resistance - anything that has stopped you before now. It leads you to up-level and to go all-in.

It’s normal to need a little help - and this is where book coaching comes in.
