My 2023 Word of the Year + Reflecting on 2022

I still love the practice of choosing a theme word for the year, to help guide new year intentions and goals. It can be a wonderful filter for what feels intuitively right to do and create, whether in place of or along with more structured planning and goal setting. In this episode I share about my intentions for my 2022 word PLAY, how it turned out in practice, why I’m excited about my new word for 2023, and some tips for choosing your own word of the year. Did you pick a word for 2023, or previous years? What’s been your experience with it?

[REPLAY] Feeding Your Creativity in the Winter Season

We don’t have to expect ourselves to constantly be actively producing creative work - creative projects have seasonal cycles, too. But even in the dormancy of winter (literal or metaphorical), you can still feed your creativity, and this phase is just as important as the others. In this episode I share many ways that you can consume, digest, and “fertilize the soil” to pave the way for your next project. What’s feeding your creativity right now? What’s inspiring you?

[REPLAY] Embrace Doing Less During the Darker Season

For many of us, the winter (and holiday) season comes with lower energy but higher expectations, and the dissonance of that can be really challenging. In this episode I invite you to question your assumptions about how much you have to get done, how many priorities you need to have, and how you treat yourself around that. Listen in to learn some tangible ways to do less that don’t involve throwing everything out, and are easy to try! What does doing less look like for you in this season? What’s nourishing you?

Embracing Slowness Instead of Urgency

The idea of slowness can be hard to embrace when there are so many outside factors encouraging us to act more urgently, at odds with the creative process and your ability to connect with your own intuition and inner guidance. In this episode I explain why this happens, share some of my experiences and struggles with slowing down, and provide tips and ideas for embracing a slower pace, if that’s what you’re craving. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ 🎨🎤📓🌟JOIN US IN COMPASSIONATE CREATIVITY COWORKING CLUB [https://www.coachingforcreativewellness.com/creative-coworking]! 🎨🎤📓🌟 A membership with weekly coworking sessions where you can get a ton done, with the camaraderie of like-minded creative people!
