Today I am CRANKY and sharing how cranky journaling can help turn a cranky day around, or at least find the treasure in the cranky, or make it a little easier to be in the cranky.

Crankiness can be a natural result of setting a clear, beautiful intention – it’s often a part of the process of bringing a dream to life because a clear, beautiful intention wakes up the parts of us who are afraid of change.

When this happens, dealing with the parts of you that get cranky is the next step on the path to your dream.

More Creative Genius Planning! AKA Planning from the sweet spot where all things are possible: where the outer work of dream-building is informed, inspired + activated by the magic of your inner world.

This is the stuff that dreams are built on.? In today’s video I’m talking about the flow + magic that come from being in a regular practice of deliberate dream growing work and the importance of understanding and honouring your creative capacity.? Less work is sometimes often more effective.

Change is the only thing that is constant about life, and navigating it doesn’t seem to get any easier.? Your journal can totally help!? In today’s video I’m sharing my process for journaling through change, and dealing with the resistance to change that comes up in times of lots of change.

Creative Dream Success DEMANDS change, so the better you get at navigating change, the easier it gets to bring your dreams to life.

Manifesting Dreams into Reality: This is what it’s all about, right?

Today I sat down with my journal and promptly stumbled into a really common pitfall when it comes to using an art journal as a tool for manifesting dreams into reality… so I immediately stopped to record this video.

VIDEO:

One thing I forgot to add to this is that I didn’t mean to say to NEVER write about what’s happening right now in your journal… stream of consciousness journaling practices like Julia Cameron’s morning pages can be super helpful!

What I did mean is that it is helpful to have a separate journal as your creative dream journal, where you can keep your attention focused on holding the vision.

Holding the vision for long enough to bring the dream to life is not easy.

Having a journal where this is ALL you do can really help build up that energy.

Living your dreams is about living your truth.

So learning how to HEAR your inner voice and learning to navigate by your internal compass is a huge part of bringing a dream to life.? That’s what I’m talking about today!

Intuitive journaling is about listening.

It may feel frustrating or like nothing is happening, but usually you have to get into the practice of listening before you start to hear anything.

Your intuitive voice is there – I promise.? It’s just that if you haven’t spent a lot of time listening to it, it takes some time to start to be able to hear it.

Too many ideas?

Creative people get a LOT of ideas!

And it’s too easy to jump on the inspiration train and invest (your heart, your time, your energy, your attention, your money) in an idea BEFORE you even know for sure if it’s going to bring you closer to where you want to be.

Processing your ideas, getting to know them, being clear on where they came from, what qualities and experiences they can bring into your life and if they’re going to help you get to where you want to be is a valuable process.

Finding clarity about all of this is PURE MAGIC.

It saves time and energy and potential heartbreak.? It helps you shift through too many ideas to find those absolute gems – the best ideas for you to pursue right now.

That’s what I was doing in my art journal today.
