I hit a rough patch this week.

For so long now, "rough patches" were about things in my life and/or the world interfering with my ability to do the things I want to do. So it was kind of a relief to have a "rough patch" mean I actually hit a hard part in my dream that needed deeper inner work.

I created a new meditation for Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice. Technically it has all the same things in it, but they are drawn out, and more attention is given to each part which makes it easier to see what is happening.

And there are so many external and internal reasons why the way new people used to find my work have changed, and new people are not finding the Creative Dream Incubator at the speed that they used to. I know most self employed people who have been using the internet for marketing for some time are experiencing the same thing.

And in the meditation I saw what I need to do differently.

Which is so great.

AND

It brought up so much stuff. Like a sense that I have been doing it "wrong" and fear that I can't do it "right" and all of that.

All the exact stuff that the Un-Sticking Station is there to help with. So I spent a lot of time there. But I also had a lot of resistance to being there, and a lot of judging my feelings and judging my process and why isn't this easier and bleh.

And then I worked through it! And got started with the thing I am trying to do. And it felt SO GOOD. Being on the other side of our internal stucks FEELS SO GOOD!

What I am really learning is that I can trust myself.

The number of difficult things I have worked through in the last year and a half - and the way I take such better care of myself now as a result, are giving me SUCH a deeper trust in myself.

So this leads to my focus for next week which is: TRUST YOURSELF! Like, remember that you can trust yourself more than you think you can.

Which feels like a message to take forward all the time, not just for next week.

Co-Dreaming/Co-Working call is today!

We'll start with a short meditation for connecting with the soul of your dream (like the Dream Lab) and then have time for whatever you want to do - planning next week, working on your projects, sharing your updates, talking about something that is stuck with your dreams or just hanging out in the magic of the group.

Call details are here. Replay will be there a few hours after we're done today.
