Talk about a loving b*tch slap (or two).
It’s the old adage — sometimes you’ve just got to get tired enough of your own sh*t to make the change.
To say I’ve been coaching my own arse off lately is an understatement. With the online space feeling like an overstimulating (and boring) festival of ‘meh’, my motivation and the energetic desire to show up has been near non existent.
Maybe you feel it too? Bored of the ads. The homogenisation. Of “trying” to keep up with all-the-changes and what to even say when the world feels like it’s combusting on itself. Yikes!
‘How can I even think about making art and give a rats when getting through daily life feels like a mission in and of itself?’ It’s exhausting!
Turns out though, it’s not *just* been that.
I’ve also been clock blocking myself AND my creativity by inadvertently getting sucked back into the algorithmic vortex of — ‘I have to do xyz to be seen, matter…blah, blah…fill in your own jaded story [here]’.
It’s no wonder showing up’s been difficult.
Because when you subconsciously give your power away to these dictated (and perpetually shifting) metrics it’s not only hugely suffocating to your creativity, it’s distracting AF, [and] it pulls you out of rhythm with your OWN vision of success, energetic flow + alignment.
AND
It happens to the best of us.
We all want to be seen.
We all want to matter.
We want our art to matter.
Our words and work — to make a difference.
It’s not you.
AND it’s up to you to change it.
To sever your gaze from the lure of perfection and remember what really matters…
Your authentic self expression and unique way of showing up in the world — YOU in full neon colour with zero apology and your deliciously squishy heart on your sleeve.
Because what’s it all for if your days are spent creatively constipated, energetically drained and wondering ‘if this is what it takes, do I even want it anymore?’…
May we raise our morning cups of coffee to showing up in our truth — messy, raw, real and ALIVE.
Together.
