Creator-based® Challenges


Ahhhhh, the big holiday rush is over.  It’s quiet.  Time for a lovely cup of tea and time to sit down, rest and ponder.  But wait!  My busy brain steps in….The New Year is right around the corner, and there are decisions to be made! What will 2022 be like for me? What do I want to accomplish, be or do?

Sometimes I wish I had a telescope that could gaze into the future.  This is usually the case when I am challenged by a situation and trying to make a decision. (Like resolutions…)  I don’t want the discomfort and perceived risk of not knowing. 

Has that ever happened to you?

Decision-making can be fraught with challenges, not the least of which is brain freeze and overload.  But friend, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Let’s talk about a Creator-based® approach to challenges.

In a Creator-based® world a challenge is a gift, an opportunity if you will.  As a creator, every challenge presents an opportunity for learning and growth. The ‘challenge’ for you then, is will you approach the opportunity as a victim or as a creator?

So often I can get overloaded and fall into feeling like a victim of circumstance.  But that simply is not true.  I create my circumstances and my life.  We all do.  In every moment I have the opportunity to choose how I will respond to the world around me.  My ability to choose is a fundamental and infinitely valuable gift from my Creator.

Let’s talk about the discomfort of not knowing and also staying in a creator mindset as you encounter challenges.  A few ideas to play with as you begin the transition to 2022…

1.  Nourish your soul with the same amazing care you give to nourishing your body. (more on exercise later) I know we’re coming out of the season of treats.  Have you given your soul a treat this season as well?  Have you fed her with deep nourishment from your soul-filling reading, watching or relationship connections?  She needs that just like your physical body needs good food daily.  Take time to nourish your soul every day.  It will help you come from a place of Creator-based® power when challenges arise.

2. Make a plan and let it go, or simply don’t hold onto it too tightly. We all love to feel like we are in control, but ultimately the only thing we have control of is our response in the present moment.  So, make your plans.  They’re important.  But when your plans change, choose your response in a loving, creative way.  Trust.  It will all work out.

3. Humor is always a good idea! When all else fails, choose to laugh.  Laughter releases calming healing hormones and really does make everything better. Go ahead- have a good giggle.
So make your plans.

See your challenges as the gift that they are.

Create your world one plan and one alternative response at a time.

You’ve got this friend!

Creator-based® Consiousness

  Monday Morning Inspiration June 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00230 This made me giggle- we have so many choices and options that sometimes I forget that behaving “becomingly” is an option…. I hope you become what you want to be today. Do you sometimes feel like a 'woman without"? You may be familiar with the Bible story told of a poor widow bringing her offering to the temple.  It was such a small amount, a mite. It was not even enough to buy her bread and cheese for a single meal.  Would it really make any difference? Yet she was commended because “She of her want cast in all she hath.” Her society had defined her as a ‘woman without.’  She was a woman without a husband, a woman without means, a woman without a fancy house, but was she truly a woman without anything?    Do you sometimes define yourself as a ‘woman without’?   'Women without' = women without a job, women without children, women without the coolest phone, women without a great friend gro...

Creator-based® Coaching is born!

  Monday Morning Inspiration April 22 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00229 Hey friend, Let’s talk  Creation .  Paul taught the Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”  That’s a bold declaration of the faith that Paul had in his omnipotent Creator.  Faith is the power that creates and moves  all things.  Now, don’t abandon ship here- this is not a Sunday School lesson.  Faith is what you used to turn on your lights this morning, remember?  Faith is what you used to start your car too.  You believed the light would turn on if you flicked the switch you wouldn’t have taken the action to do it.  I know you have faith. You’ve got this.     Let’s go back to the first step of that formula for creating your one, amazing life.  If you could feel something you really wanted to feel, what would that feeling be? I wanted to feel happy.  I thought I had put together my one, perfect, happy life....
