Ahh… I feel like I can exhale.
I’ve been facing mad resistance as I build the enoughness curriculum. Not because I don’t know what I want to teach, but because there’s so. much. of. it… and I find myself overwhelmed.
⠀
Of course, y’all know I see overwhelm as a luxury label for staying stuck when the work of looking at what the *actual* block is seems treacherous.
So, I’m regularly holding my feet to the fire knowing the work at times is really about confronting my own enoughness as I expand beyond my comfy showbiz niche.
⠀
Wait. Showbiz got comfy? Whoa. That’s an accomplishment. I need to honor that the industry has delivered some amazing opportunities for me to help a generation of creatives heal their relationships with themselves so they find more joy in their journey.
That’s not nothin’.
⠀
So, today was filled with chances to uncover some of the blocks I’ve been carrying around. Hell, all days have those opportunities. Whether I take ’em is another story.
⠀
Today, a brilliant convo in the What Works network led me to an a-ha moment that hearkened back to my PhD studies in designing educational interactive games (y’all… I was the BEST project manager — shocker).
Holy crap, let’s gamify this ish!
⠀
Create early wins knowing there are entire worlds to uncover, the deeper they go. Ahh… all the mazes and jewels to collect… it’s not a PROBLEM; it’s a *life* of treasure-collecting!
⠀
So! Excited! Now!
⠀
I keep trying to worry about how actors will react to the shift in my work. All the woo-woo, all the work on Upper-Limit Problems, all the
money mindset
and health and wellness… so much GROWTH!
⠀
I received this in an email from the UC Irvine folks who have me in a few times a year to teach Self-Management for Actors… and what were those lovely creatives talking about at graduation?
⠀
Not their brand. Not their targets. Not their tools. THEIR ENOUGHNESS. Something I peppered into my last visit. It landed.
⠀
Grrrrl, you’ve got this.
Quit checking for signs. They’re everywhere… and you don’t need them.
It’s time to build the thing.
⠀
Ahh… GAME ON!
