Yesterday I shared my big scary trip to the Un-Sticking Station to work with this part of me who was trying to pressure me to do my project perfectly which was making it impossible for me to do it at all.
And, things didn't feel resolved at the end, but I felt a huge shift in my mental outlook.
And I came out of it with this new dream to hold - I WANT TO FEEL CREATIVELY UNENCUMBERED.
Phrasing it as "I want to feel creatively free" might make more sense but UNENCUMBERED is how it FEELS. It does give a nod to all the different ways I do feel encumbered, which are real and I don't need to "positive think" and pretend they don't exist.
So, holding the new dream and in that mindset shift that happened from spending 35 minutes in the Un-Sticking Station meditation....
I went to work on my project, and I saw it differently.
All that stuff in my meditation about how I can't HANG ALL MY HOPES on this one thing, how that creates pressure and is hurting the process...
Well I saw that actually that was accurate.
I am trying to accomplish too much with this one thing.
And there is such a simple answer... add another thing. Like, I don't need to give up on ALL MY HOPES I just need to build more structure to hold them all.
I don't want to get into all the details of my project - but in this case adding another thing is actually SO MUCH EASIER than trying to get the original thing to fulfil the whole purpose of the project.
And it's like that PRESSURE TO GET IT RIGHT was a ballon that popped and ever so gently let out its air.
No more pressure.
I actually feel creatively unencumbered to keep working on this.
Yesterday I did make a bunch of progress... like that easy kind of "I am in the creative flow and loving it" kind of progress which felt so good.
Today, I am starting with the Dream Lab, to meet with the dream of finishing this project.
Yes, I did just identity FEELING CREATIVELY UNENCUMBERED as my real dream right now but that feeling really rests on this completed project. Like it creates a foundation for my work and creative life to feel more solid.
We can use the Dream Lab to meet with any dream or aspect of a dream. I do like to use it meet with THE SOUL OF THE PROJECT with any project I am working on, to help me understand the project better.
I can't stress enough how helpful it is to do Creative Dream Alchemy meditations often.
You really do develop a relationship with the FIELD OF CREATIVE DREAM ALCHEMY that way - this is a supportive and deeply wildly creatively transformative space were things can change in service to you and your dream. This really does make it easier over time to get in touch with that part of you who believes in you, believes in your dream, and knows what to do next.
I had a lovely time in the Dream Lab!
My project came to me as two projects were are very closely connected. I felt how their energies are distinct but work together and just... feel aligned with it and sure of my next steps, so I am off to do them.
