What Is A Creative Life And Why Do You Want One?
Although I'm fairly certain there are as many ways to define a "creative life" as there are nail polish names (approximately infinity) ~ I do like Elizabeth Gilbert's definition found in the first chapter of her new book, Big Magic.It sums up nicely why I myself practice living a creative life and why it's been my passion for the past eight years to coach and encourage others to do the same.If you happen to agree with me and Liz, then perhaps the reason you crave a creative life is because you want an amplified, bigger, happier, expanded and more interesting existence.That's exactly why I created my new Big Magic Better-Than-A-Book-Club Coaching Group ~ to combine the inspiring wit and wisdom of Gilbert with the support and guidance of personalized coaching group to help you move forward on your personal creative journey with joy and ease.I invite you to take two minutes right now (a delightfully doable amount of time) to consider how your life will look and feel if it's amplified, made bigger, happier, expanded and more interesting by saying yes to the creative life you dream of.You can write your thoughts in a journal, use the pretty printable dream sheet I created for you below or simply daydream on it a moment or two.(Though I must say, there's something extra empowering and enlightening about writing down your dreams. It helps you grab them from the place they swirl around and around in your mind, put them down on paper and get a good look at them!)Click here to download your "My Creative Life" dream sheet.Awareness is one of the most important first small steps you can take when bringing change to your life. (In fact, it's nearly impossible to make a change if you don't know what you want!)Why not set a time for two-minutes right now and use these Big Magic-inspired prompts to inspire yourself?If you'd like to share what you dream up in the comments below I'd love to hear it!And, if you want to take the next small steps from awareness toward truly living the creative life you dream of I invite you to join me for my Big Magic Better-Than-A-Book-Club Coaching Group.(FYI ~ As of this writing there are only 7 spots left and only 2 of those are VIP which include 3rd row center tickets to see Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic Lecture and Q & A in Dallas, Texas on May 10, 2016.)Until next time, all the best from my Creative Oasis to yours,Jill
