It’s Monday! We have another fresh new week in which to create, let’s grab the bull by the horns and jump in! It’s the perfect time to ask yourself: will you create at your highest potential this week?
“In letting go, we cease trying to make something happen, and then the mind naturally opens. It is like watching a flower grow — free from effort, its petals naturally unfold to reveal its beauty.” – Andy Puddicombe
Just like this flower, we were all created to create! Might it be possible that just like this flower a part of you is ready to naturally unfold and bloom without needing to be motivated by threats and punishment and criticism and fear?
Fear is the only thing that stands in our way. We have only to overcome our fears in order for us to naturally create at our highest potential.
“Best advice ever received was from one of my meditation teachers at the monastery: ‘Be present, be patient, be gentle, be kind…everything else will take care of itself.’” – Andy Puddicombe
Of course we have to take responsibility and of course we have to be accountable, but does that have to mean the absence of being present and patient and gentle and kind with ourselves? It is precisely when we attack ourselves – in the misguided attempt at doing better – that we wake up our biggest fears and rob ourselves from creating at our highest potential. Can you trust that you don’t have to attack, judge and criticize yourself in order to do your best?
We are starting this week with an empowering mantra:
“I am a FEARLESS CREATOR.”
“I am DOING MY BEST.”
“I trust that I AM GUIDED.”
Repeat these when fear tries to take hold. Remember, just like the flower doesn’t force its bloom, trust the process. You are guided, you have the potential to create magic, and this week is your opportunity to unleash your inner bloom.
Have an awesome week!
