We have our May New Moon Intention Setting call on Thursday (tomorrow!!)
(If you're not in the membership: you can get the New Moon Intention Setting Ritual Kit here and do this on your own!)
I was looking through my journaling from our April call and at the bottom I wrote a message I got in that meditation:
KNOW THAT YOU DESERVE JOY + ALIVENESS.
The stuff I am working on right now, the intentions I am setting, are kind of boring things around getting some parts of my business running more smoothly. Not my favourite part of this work, but I am grateful that I get to the work that is most meaningful to me, so do want to take care of these things, even if they are a bit tedious.
It felt interesting, as I am looking at planning, systems, habits routines, etc... to receive this message about joy and aliveness.
But now, on the other end of the month, it feels perfect.
OF COURSE joy and aliveness are the things I need to do these tasks, to make these plans.
And OF COURSE, if we keep showing up to do this work, if we keep listening to ourselves, as deeply as we can, about how to navigate our lives, we're going to get the message and support we need to live our most authentic and fulfilling lives - now and in the future.
Creative Dreaming is NOT about working hard and making sacrifices to get to a better future.
It's about accessing more of our CREATIVE POWER right here right now, and living intentionally, and moving towards a better future without sacrificing today.
And also without gaslighting yourself about how you feel or what you want.
So, the work of accessing your creative power right here and now can be really different from day to day.
Sometimes people seem sheepish when they tell me they've been using the Un-Sticking Station practice more than anything else in the membership because they just keep feeling stuck all the time. BUT THAT'S GREAT! Showing up and WORKING WITH the stuck is deep healing work which transforms the whole path ahead of you.
Staying present with our actual feelings and actual needs right here WHILE ALSO holding space for our dreams can feel like a juggling act some days.
Some days there just isn't time/space for everything.
THAT'S OK!!
It doesn't matter how smooth or rough your process is on any particular day, it matters that you keep coming back to it.
Monthly reflection and intention setting "greases the wheels" of your Creative Dream Machine.
Don't skip this!
This is where you map out the path that gets you to where you want to be - not just for Outer Work, but Dream Work and Inner Work too. Doing this consistently over time keeps you more GROUNDED both in your life today and in your dreams for the future. It steadies the path.
