Casting My Vision For 2025 Part 4

One thing I need to do here is not criticise myself for only just coming back to this and feeling like it’s too late.

In reality, I have been working on this. I had some coaching from Maisie on the recent Spring Goal Workshop call where I figured out where I want my creativity to come from. And I have been working on the creativity: doing a drawing evening with friends, writing book reviews to post online, and randomly writing little blog style pieces on my phone when they spring to mind (even if I’m meant to be working because I know it’ll only take five mins or so).
I’ve put too much emphasis on finding time and the end result being this final, perfect creation and it can’t be that. My trouble with this goal is I’m approaching it with this idea my being creative and publishing my work will get me noticed and I’ll get a new job out of it. And while that could happen, I can’t rely on that happening.

I picked this Action line up from another call where somebody was feeling challenged by creativity – A: exploring without pressure. And I think that’s what I need to do here. I need to just write or draw or whatever it might be.

Another thing that is blocking me here is the thought: There’s no space for me, everyone is already doing what I want to do – and better!

The phrase “Open to flexibility” really resonated with me, thank you for giving me that. It feels perfect for this goal and I can use it in so many other ways at work too.

Answer:

Some thoughts we love: It’s never too late. I am right on time. It was always going to happen this way. My voice matters. There is no one else just like me. There is space for me. I don’t need to be the best, I just need to be me. My people will resonate with my work. What would you add?

Listen to that inner wisdom. Keep exploring.
