Hello,
This is Sydney welcoming you to Sharing Your Creative Work.
It's the final session of the 10-part series,
Unlock Your Creative Potential.
In the past nine sessions,
We've talked about gaining creative confidence,
Worked on developing ways to trust the creative process,
And actually get the work done.
Now it's time to share the work.
This of course can be scary.
It's important to remember that sharing can also be a manageable process.
You don't have to try to get your first article into Time Magazine.
Keep in mind that the past sessions,
Like celebrating you,
Giving yourself permission to be creative and clearing fear become very important as you begin to share your work.
They will keep you confident and productive during this stage of the creative journey.
It's time to sit back,
Lay down,
Or do whatever you normally do to get comfortable as we go into the space of meditation.
We're going to get started with our three belly deep breaths.
In and out.
Ready?
Breathe in and out.
Breathe in and out.
This time in and out.
Let's go deeper into our meditative space with our body scan,
Starting at the tops of our head.
Feel that creative energy moving down from your skull,
Down to your face and your ears and the back of your head.
Feel that beautiful creative energy in your neck and shoulders.
Let's pull that energy into our arms,
Back and front to our elbows.
From our elbows,
Let's move the energy down our arms to our wrists.
Draw that energy into your hands and fingers.
Feel the creative energy in your chest and breasts and belly.
Feel the energy move around your sides to your entire back.
The energy is moving down your bottom and your pelvis.
And now feel the energy in your thighs,
Front and back.
The energy is swirling around your knees.
Place your attention on your calves and shins.
Next,
Feel the energy in your feet and toes.
Now for the meditation,
I'd like you to contemplate being enough.
You are enough.
You are perfect just the way you are.
Your work is valuable and the world needs to see your vision.
The world needs to hear your voice.
Everything you do is an exercise in divinity.
Every breath you take is as important as the seed that grows a mighty tree.
You are enough.
You are a human being,
Not a human doing,
And your work reflects the essence of the universe.
You are enough.
Your creativity is boundless and your heart is strong.
Every day you put forth beauty and there is no doubt that right now,
Right as you are,
You are enough.
For today's exercise,
Knowing that you are enough and knowing that you don't have to rush out into the world and share your work on the biggest stage possible,
Take a moment to make a list in your mind or on paper of ways that you could share your art.
Simple ways,
Easy ways.
Are there friends that you trust?
Are there online platforms for beginning artists or even seasoned artists that are safe and gentle with their feedback?
Sometimes if you take a class and you pay the money,
You'll be more dedicated to the process and happy that you're there together to help each other get better.
Take a moment,
Think of some easy,
Gentle ways to share your art and then I'll bring you back gently.
Wow can you believe it?
You have finished the entire series.
Congratulations and give yourself a big pat on the back.
You can revisit any of these lessons at any time at your own pace to keep the creative journey going.
But for now,
To come out of the meditative space,
We're going to take our last big breath together.
Make it a good one.
Ready?
Breathe in and out.
And please remember the words of our affirmation.
You can say it out loud or say it to yourself.
I am bold,
Brave and kind.
Happy,
Healthy and wealthy.
Beautiful and brilliant.
And I am loved.
This is Sydney at the end of the 10-part series,
Unlock Your Creative Potential.
I'm wishing you days full of wonder and light and remember to keep creating.
