Be Bold Begin

Many of us are experiencing varying levels of fear and overwhelm during this time of uncertainty regarding the Corona Virus, which is of course normal feelings to have in a time like this. Fear can pop up when we don’t feel in control of a situation and in this case there are a lot of unknowns not only about the virus itself but how our lives will be affected, the lives of our loved ones, people we know, people we don’t know and just our day to day.  The other factor to acknowledge here is the rapid rate of change that is occurring. Each day seems that things are different than the last and lots of change also brings on lots of fear. How we make ourselves feel safe and grounded is being very challenged right now.  In this episode I’m talking with the amazing Julia Fried who is a mindfulness & meditation teacher as well as a hypnotherapist and a new mom. She has some great tools and tips for us we can apply to our day-to-day to help us through this time. According to the Oxford Dictionary : “Mindfulness is

We've all experienced feelings of resentment, pain, guilt, rumination, and all the other low vibe stuff that comes from situations we feel should have occurred differently. The only person you're hurting when deciding to hold onto this stuff is you. Whether you want to admit it or not, it's a choice to keep those feelings around. However, those feelings are extremely valid, normal and completely okay for you to feel but I share a tip with how to limit your experience with the low-vibe stuff. I'm also announcing that we are going on a little break and will be back with more tools for your creative tool belt in future fall episodes.

As creators and makers there is a stage at the beginning of the process when we are super excited about our new idea and creation. We want to share it. We want to talk about it and we want others to be excited with us. That can be tough sometimes when we are received with criticism. There are also many other scenarios where artists can get some judgement and push back for their unique or different way of thinking. As we discuss this possibility we offer a few different tools you can apply to these kinds of situations.  Join me here:  Intuitive Creators Academy & Collective WATCH Be Bold Begin Interviews on Youtube @cbarsi1 Instagram: @intuitivecreators  @thebarsi BE BOLD & KEEP CREATING!

“Taking quality care of yourself can awaken your higher self”. - Jill Badonsky  Nurturing ourselves is another form of self-kindness and care. For creatives and artists it is a way to open ourselves even more to our process. While we deeply connect with ourselves we devise a deeper connection with our purpose and therefore our expression. Adding boundaries to our process is a wonderful way to check in with what is serving us and what is not and how we can manage our energy and time by creating them.  To order the book referenced in this episode, click below: The Nine Modern Day Muses (And a Bodyguard) by Jill Badonsky Join me here:  Intuitive Creators Academy & Collective WATCH Be Bold Begin Interviews on Youtube @cbarsi1 Instagram: @intuitivecreators  @thebarsi BE BOLD & KEEP CREATING!      Intro music by bensound.com  

The truth is we all know what we need and what we desire in this life. Its in there. Somewhere. Some have to dig deeper to unearth it and others have their most honest path easily accessible to them. The fact is, fear gets in the way and shining a bright light on all the things that look scary inside of us does not sound like a fun process.  Though, turning to a place of light can really illuminate those things that we need to work through, to clear away from blocking our true selves. Making it easier to just be. But we can practice that feeling now. What would it feel like to trust yourself to just be a little more than you normally would? Just for a sec longer.  Book Reference:Creating Money: Attracting Abundance by Sanaya Roman & Duane Packer  Join me here:  Intuitive Creators Academy & Collective WATCH Be Bold Begin Interviews on Youtube @cbarsi1 Instagram: @intuitivecreators  @thebarsi BE BOLD & KEEP CREATING!      Intro music by bensound.com

In this episode we explore self-kindness through a relaxing guided meditation designed to lead your mind towards your own truth, your own core and generate easy and light realizations of your own power that exists within your heart.  Through understanding and becoming aware of our ability to make choices, to create and to always have access to our own source of peace, joy and truth is a loving way to acknowledge ourselves. By practicing compassion, gratitude and kindness with ourselves gives us space to lean into our true being, our true purpose and in turn design the lives we want to experience. It only benefits all of those around us when we source our actions from this inspired and honest place of light.

I don’t know about you but I’ve definitely been there. I’ve felt immensely overwhelmed. Once I learned that I was totally normal and that it actually occurs during a certain part of my creative process was alone so helpful.  But really understanding how to heal your overwhelm with small steps was the game changer for me. Using Kaizen methods of creating very very small steps that are designed to be as small as I need them to be to stay in motion creates a method that gets you past it. Past the overwhelm, past the fear, past the blocks. Try it! It could change your life!

We’ve all been at the beginning stages of something before, but as we get older we enjoy that part of the process less and less. As a child we were used to not knowing stuff. We didn’t fall under the spell of comparison as much because we understood the learning process more easily and life felt like this epically long thing that would never ever end, so we could take our time.  Here’s the truth: comparing yourselves with experts or people that have been doing the thing you’re new at is unreasonable. You are still part of an epic journey. In this episode we talk about how to be a beginner with joy again and I create a silly exercise to think differently. Enjoy!

In this episode I ask a few small creative questions that are meant to evoke observation, particularly of our own thoughts. Because lets face it, inside our own heads is where the change needs to start. Just noticing how we think and the things we say to ourselves can shine light on what kind of beliefs and stories we tell ourselves to be true. You can then make choices about that creating internal change, which naturally creates external change and inspired action.  Join me here:  Intuitive Creators Academy & Collective WATCH Be Bold Begin Interviews on Youtube @cbarsi1 Instagram: @intuitivecreators  @thebarsi BE BOLD & KEEP CREATING!   *Music by:bensound.com

As artists we are a little more inclined to break the rules than the next guy. Though sometimes there are rules playing out in the background that we don’t even notice are there. Giving yourself permission to ask why can be a really empowering experience. It creates the freedom to let go of the rules that aren’t serving you and make your own set. Ones that are designed to serve you and your creativity.  Join me here:  Intuitive Creators Academy & Collective WATCH Be Bold Begin Interviews on Youtube @cbarsi1 Instagram: @intuitivecreators  @thebarsi BE BOLD & KEEP CREATING!     *Music by:bensound.com

What would it feel like to give yourself permission to rest? Does just the thought of it evoke stress or does it inspire a restful feeling? Knowing how to rest can be a skill and learning what rest means to you is an important asset to incorporate into your process to stay inspired and to avoid burnout, creative blocks and even quitting. I have a few ideas of how to discover what’s best for you.  Join me here:  Intuitive Creators Academy & Collective WATCH Be Bold Begin Interviews on Youtube @cbarsi1 Instagram: @intuitivecreators  @thebarsi BE BOLD & KEEP CREATING!     *Music by:bensound.com

Gratitude is powerful when we learn how to enlist it in our daily lives and see the things around us that we have. It can bring us into abundance. But what if we not only looked around us but also inside of us? What can we be grateful for about ourselves? This can elevate your thoughts from negative to positive, have an impact on your self-worth and raise awareness around what feeling abundant really means. It creates power within the self…because inner gratitude is powerful.  Join me here:  Intuitive Creators Academy & Collective WATCH Be Bold Begin Interviews on Youtube @cbarsi1 Instagram: @intuitivecreators  @thebarsi BE BOLD & KEEP CREATING!     *Music by:bensound.com

What we surround ourselves with can have a heavy influence on the energy we feel and that can then influence how we feel about what we're creating and the process we're engaging in. Today's tip is, once again about how to make this all...a little easier!

Breaking your own rules can feel counter productive but when the creative muse inside decides it's time to try something new, whether it's a new technique, adding a new color, trying a different style, writing for a different audience, anything at all that seems off brand from the work you've already done, we can lean into exploring that without having to let go of everything we've already created.  And BONUS! We also don't need to beat ourselves up over having new ideas when we're deep in the process.  I share with you an exercise you can try to satisfy and explore these new creative thoughts without any sacrifice and a few positive self-talk techniques to combat all that nasty stuff that sometimes comes up.
