Next Simple Step

What would you create if you were not afraid? It's time to let go of our ego and create the things that we are inspired to create. Let go of worrying about the outcome, or worse, whether we'll get the approval of others.

In today's episode we discuss how to stop comparing yourself to others. It's very self-defeating to wake up every day comparing yourself to everyone else. Comparison truly is the thief of all joy. You are creative. You are worthy. You are human. You're free to be yourself and not worry about what everybody else thinks. There's no one like you and someone needs to hear what you have to say or what you have to create. Simone Biles said it best, "we're not just entertainment, we're humans."

Topics discussed include:

• The thinking concept: Be, Do, Have
• The importance of "just being"
• How to handle discouragement from others

Are you thriving? Not just surviving, but truly thriving. On today's show, we pick up on the last conversation with a functional medicine doctor, Dr. Tim Caraher. We discussed what it means to have wellness in order to be more creative. Now, let's talk about what it means to go beyond basic wellness and to thrive. At some point in everyone's life, we ask ourselves, is this it? You may reach a point in which you feel you're not thriving, but just existing. This blah feeling is called languishing - The neglected middle child of mental health can dull your motivation and focus. In a TedTalk from Dr. Corey Keyes, he mentions the antidote for the feeling of languish is to flourish.

Let's talk about how we critically think, as well as how to use the power of observation to analyze our own thinking to get clear on what we really want.

We are so quick to judge others but how often do we stop and think about our own motivation for our behaviors? As Marcus Aurelius said, "Whenever you're about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question...What fault of mine most resembles the one I am about to criticize?"

Many times we make decisions based on poor assumptions provided by misinformation. It's important to critically think about why we believe what we believe and why we are making the current choice. Don't let someone else set the agenda for your creative goals.

Hear why Elon Musk is on my bad side and how the end of the AM/FM car radio is actually a good thing. Also, get insight for getting started on your own creative project.

Plus, get a preview of something exciting that I am currently working on. It's a new media platform, on an app, called ETHOS.

For years, I had an idea of creating a positive Top 40 pop station that would be inspirational. An encouraging place to help people become the best version of themselves. From this idea comes ETHOS, which will feature music and podcasts that promote mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.

If you have any suggestions for a podcast host, app developer, or anything else that would help with ETHOS, text me on the Creative Coach Hotline: (559) 574-3210

Are you experiencing career FOMO? The truth is, we all will experience moments in our career where regret or disappointment take over.

In this episode, we discuss 3 ways to persevere through the mid-career crisis.

• Grow where you are planted

• Get a creative hobby

• Give back

Life is too short to work at a job you hate. Turn your career FOMO into JOMO (joy of missing out). Find joy in things that actually matter to you; whether it's taking ownership of your current position, finding an activity that brings you joy and inspiration, or ultimately taking the focus off yourself and giving back to others in need.
