A 9-Week Focus Boost....
for Creative Types
(e.g. painters, dancers, sculptors, writers, performers, designers, inventors, event creators, composers, poets, film makers, musicians....)
Are you longing to bring forth your creative expression, but are feeling stalled and can't seem to get yourself started?
When you have a creative urge that is aching to come to life, it can be so frustrating (and confusing) to watch yourself do everything except what you need to help it grow.
And when the dream is really juicy, precious, or important to you, it can be heartbreaking to see how you're not giving it (and yourself) a chance to sprout, develop roots, send up leaves, bloom, and bear fruit. You lose energy and become a little dead inside when you ignore your urge to create... and can feel like life is slipping you by.
The good news is that you can learn to work with your fears, doubts, and avoidance habits so that you can enjoy the energy and sense of empowerment that comes with being in the flow of your creative work.
So what's makes it possible to sustain creative inspiration and action so that you can do your work and actually complete it?
The secret is in developing a creativity fulfillment strategy that is just right for YOU and fits your temperament, ideal creativity conditions, lifestyle, and preferences, and also addresses the unique ways in which you tend to get blocked.
Birthing your dream doesn't have to be an exercise in futility and frustration.
Somehow, in spite of your initial excitement, sense of possibility, and hopes for yourself, you're not creating the work you want - - the book remains unwritten, the paintings unpainted, the invention undeveloped, and the song unsung.
Maybe it's because you have too many ideas, and don't know how to choose.
Maybe you don't know how to commit or get started, even though you have chosen a great idea.
Or, perhaps you've started, but encountered some technical difficulties, or fears, doubts, or loss of inspiration, that have knocked the wind out of your sails.
And it could be that you've just lost momentum and don't know how to get back into the saddle again.
So, you might actually have some understanding of why you haven't brought your creative dream to life yet...
AND it can be different than this!
The power of a Focus Boost and having a Creativity Strategy....
John is a mystic, writer, and musician with a lot of deeply-lived wisdom to offer the world. For a couple years now he's known that he has a book inside of him that he wants to get out into the world. Several people whom he respects have encouraged him to write it and get it published.
Interestingly, John is a skilled writer, and had already developed most of the concepts and written quite a bit of the text some time ago (for his graduate thesis). All he really needed to do was to reorganize his material into a book format, flesh it out a bit, and edit it into a manuscript, ready for the eyes of a literary agent. But his daily life remained full and consuming, and he never made time to sit down and complete his dream.
So what was in the way?
I helped John get in touch again with the fire of writing the book, and facilitated an exercise that allowed John to deeply chose this particular dream and commit to it. Then he spent some time developing a strategy that supported his initial steps as well as the months of work ahead of him that it would take to finish the book. He also learned some powerful tools to address the specific blocks that he is prone to. As a result, John is now well on his way to achieving his dream and is experiencing the energy and sense of 'rightness' that comes with following his heart!
Wouldn't it be great to have some simple tools and a strategy to keep you moving forward in your creative flow so you can actually birth your vision?
Wouldn't it be even more great to really focus on your work for a chunk of time, and practice your tools and strategy so that you're actually using them to create ongoing habits of success?!
DreamTeamOLY! will give you what you need to develop your own creativity fulfillment strategy and express your creative genius: Tools, Support, and Accountability that is sustained for 9 whole weeks.
Tools that help you:
Support that allows you to:
Accountability so that you:
Yes, it can be scary to step forward and follow your heart - I know this from first-hand experience. I've found that the bigger and juicier my dream is, the more is at risk and more fear I feel. So of course there's trepidation. It's appropriate!
And it is a lie that in order to reach your dreams, you have to become a superhuman person and master, conquer, and eliminate fear, so you can "Just Go For It!." The truth is, it's not really possible to eradicate fear as long as you are a living human being. Instead, the opportunity we have is to actually become strong enough to feel our fear, and to learn and grow from it. This turns into an amazing alchemy that frees you to take bigger risks, and become more authentic and unique in your expression.
The good news is that you don't have to do this alone! You'll have support to deal with all the "shoulds, can'ts, musts, nevers, always, should not's, and I don't knows" that come up as you take steps forward. You'll have structure, tools and practices, as well as a coach and a small synergistic group of committed creators standing at your side along the way. At the end of the course, you'll be empowered to keep creating on your own.
“I was feeling a bit stymied in taking the steps required to make an important transition in my life, and wasn't getting from theory to actual movement. After working with Margit I feel reenergized and have some first steps in place. There's a timeframe with achievable goals, and I have a clear plan for what I need to do to accomplish my dream. It was very helpful to take the time to articulate what I wanted to achieve, and to make a map for myself. The drawing and writing portions of the workshop were amazing - it was a powerful experience to see and feel how my creativity just flowed. It gave me a supreme shot of confidence, and let me see what was possible if I just got out of my own way and let the work flow!"
