If you done work with me before you've heard me talk about the whole right/brain left brain issue. We spent most of our time living out of our left brain/analytic side and ignore our right/creative side. When we do this we often feel stuck, unable to make decisions, or create action steps we can actually follow through on.

When we begin to exercise our right brain our questions are answered more quickly and we see the path we need to take illuminated. But we need to train ourselves to do this - to access our intuitive creative side. This weekend my friend, Dianna, put it so simply..."We need to ask the question we have about our life in our right brain, switch to our right brain to answer it, and switch back to our life to execute."

So if you want to learn a different way of thinking here are some resources:
1. Attend one of my Creative Visioning Retreats (a few openings left in the Saturday one but you have to let me know by tonight).
2. Check out Dianna Amorde's book.
3. Sign-up for this free call with another colleague of mine Celeste Hamman, you will not be disappointed!
 
 

Feeling overtired and anxious about leaving late and how the kids would do in the car with 1400+ miles to go, I found myself wondering about the commitment I made to myself…to slow down, pause and reflect daily on gratitude, self-care, or whatever inspiration came to me for the next 30 days. Ugh…this was going to take practice. In fact, I briefly considered holding off until we actually arrived at our final destination but that seemed a little like cheating.

An eternity later we arrived at our friends in Chicago and had a wonderful time…watching the excitement as the kids experienced the Choo Choo resturant in Des Plaines (where the food arrives by train), the wild abandonment of 5 kids under 4 flinging themselves off a air mattress onto another, and reconnecting with old friends. Friends I met in graduate school. I am deeply thankful that time and distance hasn’t changed our friendship but recognize how important it is to nurture the relationships that feed us.

Is there a person in your life you want to reconnect with? A relationship you want to nurture? What is stopping you? Work through it and reconnect.
