How to Break out of a Creative Slump when you Need to Write NOW

The cold weather + mercury retrograde has played around with my brain waves. Well I don’t know if that’s happening scientifically, but it sure does feel that way when experiencing a creative slump 🙂

You know those times where you struggle to think of the most commonly used words? When stringing a sentence together feels like a mighty feat.

Write that blog post you tell yourself.

Create your free giveaway.

Finish/start on your salespage

Craft your FB ad.

The list just keeps getting longer, while you sink deeper into your black hole of nothing, wondering how other people are ‘switched on’ all the time. It’s not really as complicated as it seems.

Here’s 5 things you need to do when you’re not in a creative flow.

Intention
The first thing I write down when I’m creating a new message, is what I want the reader to take away. For example the intention for this email you’re reading right now is to help clear away brain fuzz.

If you get stumped along the way, just refer back to your intention to get in flow again.

You may tell a different story than what you initially started out with – that’s ok. The main thing is to stay focused and keep it simple.

Just keep writing
Ever had one of those days where you just had nothing to say? It happens to the best of us. This very post you’re reading came to me because I was in the same position and this is what I did to get me fired up again.

I was actually writing about something entirely different altogether.

Write even if it feels like gibberish because you’ll pick out a few gold nuggets that can be used now or in the future.

Get over yourself
Stop being a Prissy Perfection Princess. Sh!t happens, but it doesn’t give you the right to roll over and emotionally cease to exist. Stop looking at your imperfections and just serve your peeps. Nuff said.

Keep it real
Keep it honest and from the heart – write about what you’re going through.

Sharing your truth allows you to help others going through the same thing. It’s also a great way to step outside yourself, gain further clarity, and also a deeper understanding of your clients pain which you can use when you’re writing any type of copy.

Musical Dreams

Music has a strong life force of it’s own that can take me on a magical journey at any time.

Life without music is colourless, tasteless & just plain boring. There’s a song for every flavour ie mood.

When I want to write about things close to my heart, I listen to music that slows me down and makes me reflect.

Think:
London Grammar – Strong
Lean On – Major Lazer
Do You Remember – Jarryd James

My inner Hustler hustles to fast upbeat rap, dance or pop music. I love listening to this type of music when I’m on a rant or feel strongly about something I want to share.

Think:
Work Bitch – Britney Spears
All I Do Is Win – DJ Khaled
I’m Me – Lil Wayne

The type of music you choose truly comes out in your writing – choose wisely.

Bonus Point:
Oh and most importantly, don’t forget to shake yo booty to get your blood AND creativity flowing.

How do YOU get back in the groove? Share your tips below.

Stay on track and in flow with this proven reliable and consistent system.

Peace Out!

Is It Spiritual To Fight?

You’re the best around.
Nothings gonna ever keep you down.
Fight till you drop.
Never stop.
Can’t give up, until you reach the top.
You’re the best in town (FIGHT)
Listen to that sound (FIGHT)
A little bit of all you got, can never bring you down.
You’re The Best – Karate Kid Movie Soundtrack

I’ve been obsessed with this classic 80’s song for the last couple of weeks.

It’s right up there with Eye Of The Tiger to get me in the fighter mindset.

As someone who lives in both spirit AND hustle world, this song got me thinking about how ‘making’ stuff happen ties in with flow and being spiritual.

Is It Spiritual To Fight For What You Want Or Should It Flow Naturally To You?

What many people get wrong is that it goes against all spiritual principles if you DON’T take action. It’s the type of energy you put into it that makes the difference.

So you can wait for the answer to fall down from the sky, or you can STILL keep moving forward while you’re waiting to hear it.
You’ve heard the old adage, start before you’re ready.
Same kinda principle here.
Take the action even if you don’t feel like it.
The level of intensity will vary, but you will ALWAYS be hustling.
You may have developed a negative view about being a fighter, BUT it’s simply a choice between ‘fighting to make it happen’ or having a Fighter Spirit.

So IS it spiritual to fight for what you want?

It’s super spiritual to honour your purpose, and that means making it happen even when you don’t feel like it/don’t see how it will work/don’t know what to do etc.
Being a fighter doesn’t mean you want to fight the world, be aggressive or that life is a battle to be fought .
It means you’re willing to stand up for what you believe to be true deep in your core about yourself, the world and others.
Fighting for what you want doesn’t mean physical, mental or emotional torture. It just means that come hell or high water you’re going to shake shizz up yo.

Put Your Back Into It.

Remember; we’re spiritual beings having a human experience, which means there are universal laws that apply. As much as I’d like to live in Airy Fairy World as Hippie Chick, I realize that my inner Sik Bitch needs to come out and play.

One cannot exist without the other for me.

I need to be still to hear the message from above, but then I need to get my hustle on to make it happen.

Don’t get me wrong, some people are happy being ‘in flow’ ALL the time. That just doesn’t work for me.

My soul actually craves being in BOTH worlds.

Both worlds have so much to offer, and it’s up to you to ensure you maintain the pureness and integrity for both sides.

How do you integrate the two?

When an idea pops up, you have two choices.

You wait until it’s the right time to create and then share it.

Because you know, you have to write that blog post, or finish off your ebook before you can even think about it. Then you need to bathe the kids and make dinner (and the list goes on). Catch my drift?

OR

You can just start now.

Simple, right?

Starting NOW means your fighting the urge to do what’s comfortable for you.

Fighting through your blocks and self-imposed limitations.

And THAT my friend is what makes you a fighter.

A Bona fide Spiritual Gangsta.

You no longer have to choose between being a lover or fighter anymore, because you’re a Loving Fighter.

It IS spiritual to fight – Booyah!

I hereby give you full permission to sucker punch your own limitations, laziness, inconsistency and whining.

You got this.

“Fight til you drop. Never Stop!”

What song gets YOU pumped? I’d REALLY love to know – I’m serious!! 🙂 Share it below, and tell me so I can add it to my playlist of songs to get me pumped 🙂

Peace Out!

What Does It Take To Go From Flat To Focused + Driven?
6 weeks ago I was in the darkest place I’ve ever been in my life.
I was super unhealthy & unfit.

I had zero passion or drive for biz (or life for that matter).

I had no energy or focus.

I was disconnected from spirit and those I loved.

I just couldn’t get my sh*t together at home (my house was nowhere near tidy).

I had no structure or routine to my day aside from when my Daughter had to be dropped off/picked up from school (and even then I was late probably 80% of the time).

Everywhere I turned doors were closing in on me, and don’t even get me started on how dull and boring life had become.

It’s been a long and bumpy journey to ‘the slump’ – the sneaky thing just creeps up on you.

Of course the best solution is prevention.

You stop doing one seemingly little thing that makes your daily wheels turn, and then one day you wake up and realize you’re struggling to keep up.

I was beyond scattered, I was brain-dead and emotionless.

The good news is that I’ve turned it all around to look and feel the best I have felt in quite literally years.

We’re in February, and all the new year bravado has probably worn off and you’re left scratching your head thinking, is this all?

I mean 2015 is a brilliant year, but are you tapping into the energy? or better yet do you know how to?

Using a bunch of strategies and tools, I’m now:

Focused

Fit

Healthy

Productive

Connected

Present

Organized

If you want to experience this life changing transformation then we need to talk asap.

I’m super pumped to share this with you, that I haven’t even put a sales page together.

One thing you’ll learn about me, is that I am soooo big on taking action (the hustling).

Ya gotta balance the ‘zen’ with the ‘hustle’.

Too much Zen and nothing happens.

Too much Hustle and you’re all scattered – just busy being busy.

I’m only taking 10 women on this journey with me.

This program runs for 40 days, because it’s been proven to take that many days for changes to stick.

NB: This is NOT an online program, this is you and me 1:1 for 40 days, live and interactive.

I’m going to be there every step of the way with:

A daily telephone checkin to set the tone/schedule for your day, and keep you accountable for the previous day.

Weekly 1:1 30 min session where we’ll delve into your weekly action plan and focus.

Email support

Lifeline calls when you’re stuck or unsure.

Private FB group.

Training modules as required.

I had to work my way through this dark lonely maze alone, and I’m holding the space, knowledge and first hand experience to help you though this.

As I mentioned this is the first round, and as the Beta group I’m offering a substantial saving, the only catch is that this offer is only available until 11.59pm Monday 2nd March AEDST (Sydney Australia Time).

Some peeps say this shouldn’t be offered for less than $3k, and some even say $6k.

My super super super special earlybird rate is only $997. Remember this MUST be paid in full by 11:59 pm Monday March 2nd 2015.

I can ONLY take 10 women through each round, as it’s quite intensive. So be sure you get in quickly so you don’t miss out.

I so badly want this for you.

You’ve got this Gorgeous!

Peace out!
P.S This program is based on four key areas Business, Life, Spirit, Body because if one is out of whack the other stack of cards just topple. Remember, I can only work with 10 Women, so if any of this resonates be sure to lock in your spot now. If you feel you need to know more, just hit reply with your phone number and we’ll arrange to have a no obligation chat. I’m uber excited to help you!

3 Tips To Get Out Of Your Head, Into Your Heart + Making Money

I’ve always been very articulate when it comes to arbitrary topics. The deep emotional stuff however, was another story.

My business has suffered massively because I couldn’t talk about the deep stuff that REALLY mattered. My brain shuts down, my jaw literally won’t open and I feel so choked and alone.

It’s taken so much time and effort to get to this point, and whilst I will always be a work-in-progress, I want to share three things with you that have really helped me breakthrough.

1. It’s None Of My Business What Others Think About Me.

Pretty self explanatory I know, but the reality is that we’re always worried about what others say about us – even when we ‘supposedly’ don’t care.

Do you know how much energy is wasted on living up to self-created public images or others expectations? It’s tiring and de-motivating – do you really believe you have the energy to maintain this facade gorgeous? I think not.

Which brings me to my next point.

2. Make A Plan And Then Surrender.

Whilst it may feel great to be a go-getting action taker, it’s just as important (if not more so) that you have a clear vision of how you’re going to get there.

In the past I have actually tried to map EVERYTHING out. Blog posts, monthly themes, FB posts, newsletter articles and the list goes on.

I can tell you from personal experience – this does NOT work.

Once you’re up and running, it makes sense to get some order and forward plan. Now if you try to do this when you’re already panicked about getting started, it’s pretty much guaranteed to propel you into overwhelm.

Get clear on your vision, your big fat WHY, how you’re going to communicate your message to your peeps and what mediums you will use to deliver.

Then allow the rest to unfold. Now is the time to trust, yourself and especially your gut feeling sugar pie.

3. Stop Thinking + Start Doing.

Think about all the ‘successful’ entrepreneurs you know. The only thing standing between you and them, is that they took consistent action. They didn’t ‘plan’ to take action – they just did it!

They knew what they wanted, focused and maintained consistency. They didn’t put off writing that blog post or making that call because they had to see 10 steps in advance.

Follow your intuition and it won’t lead you astray.

Nike said it best – Just Do It.

Don’t let another year pass you by.

2015 has an amazing manifesting energy – take it in, use it and pay it forward by helping others grow too.

Namaste Bitches 🙂

Stay on track and in flow with this proven reliable and consistent system.

Be A Good Person, But Stop Trying To Prove It.

Stop trying to prove your worth.

Those who matter don’t require convincing.

The truth always reveals itself, so let it go and enjoy each precious moment.
