:: LIFE :: June | CREATIVE ACTION

May has come and gone, and all too quickly if you ask me. While I personally would like to turn the clocks back to May for a number of reasons, I know that holding on to the past as a way to avoid the chaos of the present and the unknown of the future only prohibits our ability to grow. But it's through growth only that we reach out fullest potential. And I don't know about you, but I don't want to go through life wondering what happiness and fulfillment looks like. At least, not anymore...

I will be the first to admit that I don't always walk my talk, and this is generally due to some kind of fear holding me back. For you, it may be something like lack of focus. For others, something different still. In any case, the feeling of being stuck or blocked and, therefore, unable to reach your fullest potential is extremely common. Better yet, it's okay. If you've ever found yourself in this place, you know that it's incredibly easy to beat yourself up about it. You have every intent to be successful in your endeavor, but you end up feeling ashamed, embarrassed, pathetic, or unworthy of a particular success because you weren't able to un-stick yourself and press forward. But it's okay -- we're all human, and we've all been there. The important thing to know is that it's not the end of the world, and the only thing you've done in not achieving that particular success is learn what you need to do in order to achieve the next, or to give the last one the shot it (and you) deserve.

It's not enough to just have intent. In order to get results, to find success, and to reach our potential; in order to get unstuck, to move forward, and to grow, we need to have action: the part of the equation that we may have overlooked in the past. And in The Power Path's June forecast, Lena Stevens reminds us of that, taking it a step further even, siting CREATIVE ACTION as the key to your success this month.

While action is a vital piece of the equation for moving forward, CREATIVE ACTION implies that our old habits may die hard.  It may no longer be enough to turn to our usual ways, no matter how tried and true. We need to get creative this month, using our artisan energy to try things that we've never thought of before or may have previously shied away from. It may not be the clean and easy path that we've marched down before; it will likely be chaotic and intense. So proceed with clear intentions, don't over-think everything, and trust in the process even when it gets a little messy.

This is an emotional time as well. As we venture down paths that are intense and unfamiliar, we need to trust that our instincts will trump our intellect. This is a time to trust your emotional barometer and to not over-think or let the mind convince you of what it thinks it knows. It's a time to communicate through these emotions so that our thoughts are kept in check and cannot run away on us; a time for clear communication about what we want so that we can garner the right support that we'll need to stay grounded through this time.

Use Lena's helpful hints as you explore the CREATIVE ACTION this month, and remember who you are doing this all for...

Don’t get stuck in the despair of the mess and remember to trust your baby steps. Look beyond the chaos and keep your focus on the larger vision of the fabulous outcome that will greatly improve your life.
