Did you think it would take longer to get to 2025, too?
I mean, wasn’t it just yesterday that we were yelling “New Year, New Me” for 2020? (BTW: it was definitely NEW - and unsettling - energy for everyone that year, but I digress.)
This morning, I realised that I’ve been with Justin - my amazing, supportive and cute AF partner - for nearly FIVE YEARS. What?! Time is zooming and I’m stepping into this shiny new year with a heart full of gratitude and a head full of dreams.
But let’s not just talk about time flying....let’s talk about what we’re going to DO with this year, starting now.
The Anxiety-Busting Superpower You’ve Been Sleeping On
Okay, real talk. Creativity is the magical, mind-blowing antidote to anxiety that most of us have been seriously underestimating. It's your secret weapon for success.
And I get it.
When someone says 'be creative', your mind might flash to a scene of spilled paint, an empty canvas or a Pinterest board filled with crafts you’ll “do someday.” But stay with me here because creativity is so much bigger - and simpler - than that.
Martha Beck, sociologist, life coach and overall genius, just dropped a truth bomb in her latest book:
“Anxiety and creativity cannot exist in the same brain at the same time.”
Mind. Blown.
This means that when you engage in creative activities - whether that’s doodling in a sketchbook, experimenting with a new recipe or brainstorming how to pivot your side hustle - you’re giving anxiety the boot and inviting peace, clarity and a little fun into your day.
Creativity: More Than Just Art - Your Secret Weapon for Success
Here’s the thing: creativity isn’t just about painting a masterpiece or joining my online Self Care Art Class (though I’d love to see you there).
It’s a mindset.
✨ It’s problem-solving.
✨ It’s thinking outside the box.
✨ It’s trusting yourself to make bold choices that move you forward.
For me, creativity has been my saving grace: time and time again.
A Peek Into My Creative Chaos
You might already know this, but I’m not just a spiritual life coach, I’m also a writer and painter. And let me tell you, these creative outlets have been my go-to superpowers.
Whenever I hit a wall (whether it’s a personal struggle, business block or even just one of those *blah* days) I grab a paintbrush or my journal and let it all out.
It’s not always pretty...
(My poetry can attest to that).
But the magic isn’t in the result: it’s in the process. Creativity shifts my energy, clears my head and helps me reconnect with my purpose.
And that, my friends, is the real power of creativity.
Your Creative Genius Is Your Secret Weapon
This year, let’s rethink success. It’s not about flawless plans or perfectly curated goals. (Seriously, who has time for that?)
Success is about showing up for yourself...again and again.
It’s about finding small, everyday ways to move closer to your dreams.
That’s where the magic of creativity comes in.
The Three Elements of Creative Success
In my Life Reset Program, I teach a powerful trifecta for success:
1. Conscious:
Know what you want.
Tune in often.
Make intentional choices that align with your vision.
2. Creative:
Think outside the box.
See challenges as opportunities.
(When life hands you lemons, blend them into a margarita.)
3. Compassionate: Be kind to yourself, even when your masterpiece looks more like finger painting.
When you bring these three energies, conscious, creative and compassionate, into your life, that’s when the magic happens.
And guess what? You don’t need a fancy art studio or a Pinterest-perfect life to get started.
Practical Creativity for Everyday Life
Here are a few simple ways to flex your creative muscles this week:
✅ Morning Magic:
Add something new to your routine.
Try a gratitude journal, stir your coffee with intention or dance while brushing your teeth.
I actually do this with my coffee - 3 stirs with the last dedicated to Hecate.
✅ Curious Cooking: Raid your pantry and invent a new recipe. Who cares if it’s weird? You’re experimenting!
Seeing as I forget to buy ingredients all the time - this is both creative and necessary :P
✅ Mini Masterpieces: Doodle, collage or colour. The goal isn’t perfection - it’s play.
Even when it doesn't feel 'big enough' a small sketch is powerful.
✅ Big Picture Vision: Grab a journal or open a doc on your computer. Write down your dreams. Get messy. Dream big. Keep it fun.
Every single one of these small acts of creativity tells anxiety to take a hike and lets your imagination, and potential, run wild.
