This is the mantra I got in this week’s Dream Book journaling + alchemy kit: Nothing can stop me.
Put your hands on your heart and take five deep slow breaths and repeat to yourself:
Nothing can stop me.
Notice where this lands in your body, what thoughts and feelings get sparked.
There is no right or wrong way to react. But your actual thoughts and feelings can tell you something about what you need right now.
At first, I think about all the things that CAN stop me.
This mantra feels objectively untrue.
But then I remember that this morning when I was looking through things I noticed that I self published The Creative Dream Playbook at the end of October 2023.
One month after my husband very suddenly left me. Two weeks after my step-son went into the hospital and the doctors were saying we would likely not make it. (Though now, seven months later, he's out of the hospital and doing well!)
I didn't write and do the artwork for the whole journal in October! But I did self publish it, as in ALL BY MYSELF which is a really big deal. It was a lot of steps to take, most of them VERY annoying, and even with all of that stress and grief, I got them all done.
So now I'm like... maybe nothing can stop me?
If NOTHING CAN STOP ME feels good and encouraging, hold it with you today.
If it brings up some discomfort - that’s your stuff to work on today.
To do that work, in the creative dream incubator coaching membership we’ve got the un-sticking station and the library of inner work practices. If you’re not sure what practice to use, you can email me, or post in our forum, let me know what’s going on and I will make some suggestions for tools you can use.
