Hello my friends, I wanted to share one of my daily practices with you today, something very simple, that you can literally start doing at any moment, any time, anywhere and it can start to make you feel better, shift your mood, the atmosphere around you and change your entire outlook on life...and that very simple thing is asking yourself powerful questions. Dr. Edith Eger, holocaust survivor, psychologist and therapist writes that her experience in Auschwitz was hell on earth but that the worst prisons by far are the ones we build in our minds. She says the foundation of freedom is the power to choose and asking ourselves questions is one way we can start to open the door to freedom and choice.

Songwriter and producer, Lori Chaffer and I chat about success vs. failure, ambition vs. laziness, craft vs. inspiration, motherhood, relationships and the importance of balance in regards to the creative process. Lots of important life topics! Hope you enjoy. Follow Lori @lorichaffer or @waterdeep

So excited to share this interview today with Jonathan Goudefroy! We talk about curiosity and compassion in the creative process, juggling work-life balance, what others think, our own self-judgment and the importance of meaningful relationships in our creative processes. You can find more info about Jonny @goudefroy and www.goudefroy.de

In today's episode, I talk about the three main reasons why emotions tend to get stuck and aren't able to go through the stress cycle and eight different ways we can start to release harmful emotions, with a focus on my favorite way to process emotion - Somatic Singing. I'm offering a 2-day workshop this weekend and would love to have you join me! Sign up at jennyrebecca.com/courses.

Homework questions & checklist:

1. How does your new thought make you feel when you say it outloud?

2. Why? What is your brain coming up with? What are the conflicting thoughts?

3. Bring an alternate thought and action to each conflicting thought.

4. Write a note to yourself from your future self.
5. Scan for evidence to support your new thought.
6. Take Massive Action towards your new belief.

Believing new things - if you can establish mastery in this skill...you can create anything you want! Everything starts with a thought! Follow @artistsrisingco 

It's Valentines Weekend and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to share an exercise that we've been doing in my Mastermind for Creatives where we help ourselves as we practice believing new things and creating new thoughts by writing love letters to ourselves from our FUTURE selves. I do this as part of my daily morning routine and I model it for you here, teach you how to implement it as part of your own practice, and share an audible love letter TO YOU today...that will hopefully help you to really know how precious and valuable you are today. 

In this episode, my student and friend, Lisa Konstandin, interviews me about emotional health and my own journey of discovery and healing. Lisa is a JOY filled, beautiful soul and you can follow her @lisakonstandin!

Today I am sharing an interview with my husband, musician Andrew Ronning, who is a classical composer and songwriter, and we talk about a lot of things, including the different philosophies of creating, the importance of intention and how that can look different for different people in various stages of their artistic journeys, befriending the critical voice and how easily our identities can be intertwined to our art and the importance of having healthy relationships with ourselves and with our art, both as an extension of ourselves and separate from ourselves.

Journey to The Artist's Way

with Julia Cameron

Episode #21

Hailed by the New York Times as “The Queen of Change,” JULIA CAMERON is credited with starting a movement in 1992 that has brought creativity into the mainstream conversation— in the arts, in business, and in everyday life. She is the best-selling author of more than forty books, fiction and nonfiction; a poet, songwriter, filmmaker and playwright. Commonly referred to as “The Godmother” or “High Priestess” of creativity, her tools are based in practice, not theory, and she considers herself “the floor sample of her own toolkit.” The Artist’s Way has been translated into forty languages and sold over five million copies to date.

Time for a treat and success

What would happen if instead of waiting to complete something your doing before you congratulate yourself and treat yourself for the achievement you you did in in the middle as well? Counter intuitive? maybe but it works and it works for everyone in any context.

That's a BIG statement Cloughie

Not really cos it does. Don't just trust me 'The Artists way' confirms this too as well as many more example.

In my life it all started hearing about dolphins, I've mentioned this before but stay with me if you listened to that episode (and if you haven't then maybe you should and success will be your starting point) because adding this as a ritual to you goals/projects, everything is a goal/project by the way (think about it) :O)

So come with me down this little part of our warren and put this to the test. When you have let me know how good the results were and will continue to be. Here's the email address feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com

This is one of the most enjoyable processes you will do!!!!

Shine brightly

Is article writing or a newsletter really worth it? Will anyone really read it? I say yes! Writing is a great exercise-it gets your juices flowing. Looking back, some of my writing is just funny! Look up the Book: The Artists Way. The author says to write morning pages to let your creativity freely flow (write like you talk); Ask other people for prompts (questions); Think of yourself as a gardener, who takes care of ideas. This takes the pressure off always trying to be creative. When you write…the ideas come!

It's important to find a regular way to communicate with your audience. (besides podcasts, etc…) People want to hear your “voice.” Write TO your audience, but write what interests you too! Sometimes you just have to write! Don’t be afraid of the blank page! (scary!) Read for ideas. Jot them down-don’t lose them!

Walkaways: 1. Have the mindset of an exercise with writing. Don’t be so self-critical of your past writing 2. Just start writing-journaling. As a “gardener” you’re just cultivating, then grabbing what’s out there 3. Let your true voice be heard-write to your specific audience (your avatar) 4. Don’t be afraid of the blank page. It’s OK to repurpose material 5. Pick a platform and stick with it for a good length of time to get going. Then re-evaluate.
