Clearing Out to Create

Las week I bit off more than I could chew. 

I had this big, detailed list of things I was going to

• Clear
• Create
• Learn
• Connect
• Read

I started on almost all the items on my list, but  didn’t manage to complete any tasks.

So much stuff!

I didn’t complete the clearing.

Or the creating.

Which leaves me feeling frustrated for not finishing.

Sadly, this isn’t new for me.

Some things we have to learn again and again.

I used to make my list too long back when I was teaching, back in my student days.

It can become a habit, not the good kind, to always overshoot and then focus on what you didn’t accomplish.

Clear before you create:

Clarity of thought, mind, air, and surroundings helps you to challenge assumptions and make space for the creativity to come through.

Focus:

Challenge yourself or your child to focus on that one next step to move forward.

Celebrate:

And be sure to pay attention to and celebrate small wins and pebbles of progress.

My small wins from the past week:

• I really had fun beginning to learn to use Adobe Spark and finding new trails of learning about design that interest me.
• Got the details for the anniversary party invite and the menu decided.

Over to you:

What were your small wins last week?

What old belief or assumption do you want to clear out?

What will you create this week?

Wishing you a wonderful week of learning all the time, enthusiastically!
