Your creativity has a ripple effect

So share your beautiful work 🙏 If you're stuck, here is some support from me...

🎧 Press play to join me amongst the trees, to listen to the rain, and hear me sing what I felt in the moment.

How far might your ripple of creativity travel?

I stopped to watch the rain fall in muddy puddles, whilst on a walk recently. The baby was sleeping peacefully so I could finally have a moment to myself.

I stared at this puddle while I recorded the voice memo above. I love how watching the shapes and movement of nature feeds the mind so richly.

ripple effect: a situation in which one thing causes a series of other things to happen

These ripples made me feel so connected to my dream of championing people and their creative work. Of building a community that encapsulates everything it means to dare to live with creativity as your focus point.

The ecstatic highs of being in the moment with your creative practice. The inevitable fear and challenges of sharing your work so vulnerably.

My ripples…

I know from past experience that I get so much from mindfully walking in nature. I began to notice the seasons shift during daily lockdown walks. I was building my coaching practice at that time and through osmosis, wonderful ideas rippled their way into what I offer now. From seasonal vision board events and blueprinting retreats, to guided meditations and walk with me coaching sessions.

Positive ripple effect…

I believe that putting your creativity out into the world can only be a positive thing. Yes, you might experience fear around doing this and experience a vulnerability hangover [watch Brené Brown talk about this] but there is SO much to gain.

1. Finishing something, and drawing it to a close by sharing it, is hugely satisfying.

2. Overcoming any fear you did have by admitting you are a creative, and owning that title, is a fantastic leap towards your growth 🌷

3. AND the possible ripple effect reaching those who get to experience your work - they might feel joy and inspiration, might connect emotionally and feel understood, or may be led to pursue their next creative idea.

If you’re feeling stuck…

I’d like to offer you some prompts to consider here:

• If you choose to pursue your creative idea, might that create a ripple effect?

• If it does ripple, how will it effect others in the world right now?

• What ripples do you experience from other people’s creative work?

I’d love to hear your answers to the above prompts. Share in the comments or reply to the email.
