There is advice everywhere and some of it is even good.
But the best advice is when you hear the right thing at the right time in a way that it really LANDS and even CHANGES YOU.
This is not necessarily "the best advice" strictly speaking. It's the thing that addresses exactly where you are and helps you with this exact next step. Like sometimes eating a brownie is exactly what you need but eating a brownie can't be your solution to everything.
Usually this EXACT RIGHT TIME RIGHT WAY advice needs to come from you, from your inner wisdom. We have genius parts of us who always knows exactly what we need, but we're not always tuned in to hear them.
During our monthly New Moon Intention Setting rituals that we do in the membership, we are NOT just tying to set our intentions and force them to happen the way we want. We are making space to listen to our deeper inner wisdom. We are TUNING IN.
And sometimes in that work we get next-level genius advice from ourselves that changes what kinds of intentions we want to set. You might come to the call thinking you want to set an intention to make more money and then during this process realize that what you need is more rest, and once you are more rested it's easier to make more money.
That’s what happened for me last month when my inner wisdom said… Girl! No!
Don't bother setting these intentions you came here with. What you need to set intentions about is to LUXURIATE in HOW you do the things you're going to do next.
Which felt like such a beautiful invitation.
And now that I have had three weeks to experiment with it I know it means to slow down, be more present and more appreciative instead of being focused on “making things happen”.
This is the thing we keep coming back to in our work in the Creative Dream Incubator Membership… “stop trying to make it all happen ASAP and instead focus on going deeper into the process because there is so much magic there for you. Then you can MAGIC it happen instead of MAKE it happen because who even has the energy to MAKE it happen these days?"
There is so much magic to be found by going deeper into the process, there is no magic in trying to the finish line as quickly as possible.
You miss a lot by being TOO goal oriented.
Of course you also miss out on your dreams by not being goal oriented at all.
Validating what you want and need in the moment AND making space to build your dreams AND listening to your deepest inner wisdom about where to focus now… means sometimes you do things that are very counter-cultural and maybe even counter-intuitive.
But the process of making a dream is NOT linear or logical. When you are HEALING all the way to a dream - the path is going to look weird!
So - my month of focusing on LUXURIATING actually turned out to be a very productive month.
I still have one more week with this intention but I am really surprised and thrilled with how productive I have been AND with how much I feel like I am meeting myself where I am, not pushing myself to be different, and really enjoying the little things about life these days.
Our next New Moon Intention Setting Ritual on Zoom is next Friday, November 6.
This is a 45 minute meditation + journaling process for reflecting on the last month, gathering up the lessons, sitting with what we want and need now, and listening to our deeper inner wisdom about what intentions to set next... then coming up with a plan for the outer work, inner work and dream work that will support us over the next month.
After the meditation and journaling we work together sharing what came up for us and how we're going to implement over the next month - if you can't be there live we can still do that in our private forum.
Membership members: Call details are here. and the replay will be on that page a few hours after the live. (Which is at 1 Central DAYLIGHT time, so the same as Eastern Standard time)
Everyone else: Join us here! We would love to dream with you!
