From Tsunami of Self-Doubt to Empowering Mantra

Last Monday morning, as I walked by the beautiful White Rock Lake, I was overcome by an awful feeling ~ a tsunami of self-doubt.I’m not sure what triggered it, but it felt as real as a 10-foot wave crashing down on me.Once I was able to name the main negative feeling ~ “DOUBT” ~ I was able to come up with the positive opposite ~ which for me was - “BELIEF.”That’s how I decided on my Creative Oasis Mantra for this week ~ BREATHE and BELIEVE!I added the reminder to BREATHE because I kept catching myself holding my breath and wanted to replace that horrible, suffocating feeling with deep, calming breaths.Each Monday the women in my Creative Oasis Collective come up with a mantra that will support their small step intentions for the week ahead. (The Collective is my private online coaching membership for a small group of wonderful women from around the world who provide each other with support, gentle accountability and camaraderie.)It’s a wonderful way to start the week off with an empowered state of mind!Wishing you deep breaths and delightfully doable steps that lead to magical Creative Oasis Moments wherever your creative journey may take you this week!I believe in you!xoxo ~ JillP.S. ~ If the idea of living a life filled with more creative awareness, joy and satisfaction sounds good to you, I invite you to join me for one of my fall Creative Oasis classes or workshops here in Dallas!
