Heartful: living a wildly creative life

In today's episode, we chat all about regression, plus the less rigid approach on daily habits. Top 6 Takeaways: 1) when you feel you've regressed, it might not be a regression at all but a recalibration to your truest values. 2) the more all-or-nothing thinking we have, the more likely it is we'll go to ‘nothing' - the surest way to kill any momentum. 3) believe your best creative work is yet to come! 4) we are not robots on an upward-only trajectory in the creative journey. 5) your practice is hugely beneficial to others, do it on stage where we can see you. 6) switch up the context in which you share or show up for your creative work, you'll get noticed more and be able to make a much larger impact than circling the drains of your own niche. As always, there are tons of resources to check out at www.brookebschultz.com, see you there!

Anyone who has a recognizable style is just really good at making decisions and zeroing in on what they like and want. The people who grow the fastest seem to like the least amount of stuff! A vision is a series of decisions--knowing what it IS is just as important as what it ISN'T.

WHY should you bother to make things? If it doesn't make any money, have an audience, or save the world, isn't it just a waste of time? "Unused creativity is not benign. It metastasizes. It turns into grief, rage, judgement, sorrow, shame.” “There's no such thing as creative people, and non-creative people. There are only people who use their creativity and people who don't. Unused creativity doesn't just disappear. It lives within us until it's expressed, neglected to death, or suffocated by resentment and fear.” We are MADE to create life, energy, change. “Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty.” -Dieter Uchtdorf What if you're not the “creative” type? Chances are if you're listening to this, you are, but you might have people in your life who claim that they're not creative but are actually LYING because creativity is a human skill, not just reserved for artist, makers, or musicians. This week we're bringing back episode ONE for a refresh for those times when you feel like giving up.

If you think making something from a tough problem or heavy experience is going to make that thing worse OR make it even more of a problem in your life, the opposite is true!

We are humans! We don't have to have it all figured out! I've gotten beautiful biz/creativity advice from those not far along in their journey at all. It's a gift to be a rookie and it's a gift to be an expert, the collision of the two is special, so when you have expertise in something, being a rookie at something else is fertile ground for good ideas.

Everything we have and enjoy was created in a human mind first. The tech we're connected thru. The phone. Your fave book that changed your life. The best award winning movies, your fave shirt. You're interacting with other people's creations all day every day and it makes our lives SO rich and meaningful. Today I am sharing some encouraging words to help get your creative juices flowing as well as a special poem, written by my late grandmother. Mentions: brookebschultz.com

Have you been a human being? Then you've probably experienced heartbreak, grief, and disappointment! this episode will help you bring more intentionality and soften those edges with not only your creative practice itself but with the meaning making and peace that can come from coloring these experiences w intention instead of just reaction. This episode is very personal and hitting close to home because I'm experiencing a heartbreak that feels super devastating to me, even if I feel like from the outside it shouldn't be as big a deal to me as it is. I had to end a friendship, partially because of my own mistakes. And so when we talk about living a wildly creative life, you know I include everything in that, and a huge part of this is intentionality. So if you have experienced grief or a big disappointment or failure or made a mistake that you regret, In these experiences it often feels like we don't have control (and yes control is an illusion ha!) but these ideas will help you feel a healthy sense of autonomy over your experience esp if you're a deep feeler who tends to get lost in an experience like heartbreak or disappointment.

Most meditations either focus on the “now” with contentment and presence, or the future, with visualization. This meditation does both and is the one I use most often in my own meditation practice, plus it has some rad science that shows how it increases creativity on a brain wave level! This meditation is a riff on Vishen Lakhiani's 6 phase meditation. I first learned about this from his book the code of the extraordinary mind, which I highly recommend, it's such a good read.

Thanks for your enthusiasm on the reboot, you all sent in your wins and I'm super excited to share and shout you out at the end of the episode! Let's talk about how to plug into the upward spiral of creativity! Bc lots of you right now think that creativity TAKES from your life–its one more thing to put on your self-care list that you're not doing, it's one more thing that requires time and energy from you. But when you are plugged into creativity you see how much of an upward spiral it is–that it gives you back soo much more than it takes. The more you use the more you have. The more you have the more you want to give away. The more you use the more you want to impact and be generous and contribute to your circles small and worldwide. The more you align w your gifts the more you feel jazzed to wake up every day and express them explore them and give them away. The more you create the easier it is to create, across mediums, and the benefits bleed into your life, you inhabit the world in a different way, you interact w your family in a different way, it's like you know a big secret that nobody else knows and you can walk through your day w this energy and zest and excitement and curiosity and purpose and contribution. What are we even doing if we think that's somehow not essential?? We spend our days buying things, trying things, trying to spend time w certain ppl who we think will give us these feelings. All we want is these feelings, right. So I'm here to tell you being creative is the thing that's gonna get you these feels in a long term sustainable way and not just when your thing is DONE and finished, but all along the beautiful way that's paved with people to meet and experiences to have and wow aha moments and divine downloads and inspiration. I have a friend who is super talented but isn't expressing her gifts bc she feels like she doesn't exactly know what she wants to do, she's also a busy mom, she's struggled w mental health, and I see the light in her dimming, and every time I interact w her I want to do a slightly screamy pep talk bc I see how much other ppl would be impacted by her particular flavor and blend of talents and I see so clearly that it really doesn't matter where she starts, what medium she uses, what business it is in the beginning, bc the starting is the most important part. So that's what we're gonna get into today, how to plug into this, bc it's here, it's available, creativity is waiting and BEGGING you to dance and play and collab w it, so how do we plug in, esp when there's so many other things on our plates? But first have you grabbed my six hacks for skyrocketing creativity–get on this list bc when I send out the coolest thing that I'm in the process of making which is free btw you will be the first to know via email and if you're anything like me, podcasts are the thing you do while you're driving, dishes, laundry, etc. so get on the email list and you'll be notified of these goodies when you're in a place to take action on them.

Quitting is generally viewed as a very negative thing in our culture, as though you've given up. In a lot of cases it's true that we don't persevere and ask enough of ourselves.
