Love What You Do in 2023

 

May you be in love for at least the next 7,000 days ...   and may you start with one small step in 2023.

2023 is on the Launch Pad   Hi ,   "Trajectory: the path followed by a projectile flying or an object moving under the action of given forces."   My trajectory is not linear. It weaves and bounces, shimmies and jitterbugs, soars and crashes, then dusts itself off and cartwheels through my dandelion garden. The cats are used to it.     The one thing that remains consistent is an unfettered commitment to taking small steps based on what blows my inner pinwheel into a passionate orbit of love - the given force that makes action enticing.   So when I plan a New Year path, each step is fueled by what I love, value, and am curious about - rather than some boring, high pressured goal or resolution that comes from the kingdom of shoulds where a band of screaming zealots reach goals that temporarily seem impressive but dull with the pressure of sustaining a precarious commitment.  Then the ego admonishes the lack of follow through, or a goal is reached, the ego keeps upping the bar and crankiness ensues.      Nothing is ever good enough when this approach is taken. I don't recommend it no matter how many articles you see that promote it.   The irony is, when we do what we love, value, and are fascinated by, perseverance is easier and perseverance makes dreams happen.      love + perseverance = mastery mastery + dailyish steps = confidence confidence begets courage which becomes freedom to take risks, move beyond the necessary mistakes to ever-new joy. My kind of mathematics.   This is what we teach in Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching along with demonstrating evidence that lowered expectations banish procrastination and avoidance, and again, ironically lead to quality results.      If you want to receive a guided visioning meditation, following by guided writing, guidance from the principles of Modern Day Muses, and more about this more effortless approach, please join me in this discounted 2023 Visioning Workshop coming Wednesday, December 28 - noon pacific/ 3 eastern... Discounted because we  we need the world to come alive with people doing what they love  - it's contagious.  Not free because the exchange of energy makes commitment easier.   $15 Click here to sign-up: A Zoom link will be your Paypal receipt You can also pay by Venmo   KMC3 members free - Please email me for the link     An Interview with Danny Gregory I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by Sketchbook Skool guru, Danny Gregory. on the Art for All podcast.   We talk about everything from how creative people hate to be told what to do to when it's appropriate to keep a creative idea a secret. I do a quick coaching session with Danny ... we all could use a little help. Listen to that here or watch it at Art for All on Youtube.  .    By the way, there are spots open for the Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching Certification Training in January 2023. I've gone from offering this twice a year, to once a year to work on my own creative passions. It's a sure what to take your own creativity deeper and if you desire, help others do the same.    Stay safe, Happy Holidays-Are-Almost-Over, Jill
