We sometimes find ourselves asking, Who am I? when we feel lost in challenging relationships, health issues, or stressful life and work situations. It’s during these moments of uncertainty that we yearn to reconnect with our true selves and rediscover the passions that bring us joy. Today, I want to share my personal journey of self-discovery and rekindling my creative spirit.
I have had the privilege of embarking on a transformative journey with Eva Vecchio. She has not only been my client but also my friend and now my coach as I navigate the path towards rediscovering my creative self. Together, we have explored new possibilities and unlocked hidden talents that were waiting to be unleashed.
For the longest time, I believed that spreadsheets were my only outlet for creativity. My early manager and long time mentor trained me well in the art of organizing data. However, over time, I realized that there was so much more to explore beyond the confines of formulas and cells. I began to evolve and expand into creative business processes, teaching, and coaching. But deep down, I knew there was still a part of me yearning to be set free.
It is with great joy that I share with you that I have reconnected with my own creative self – through paints, pencils, writing, and photography. This creative being has always resided within me, patiently waiting on a shelf for far too long. And now, it is exhilarating to bring her back into the world where she belongs.
This year, my word is blossoming. What exactly does that mean? Well, honestly, I’m not entirely sure yet – but therein lies the beauty of it all. My tree of life is beginning to burst with new blossoms and opportunities that bridge both my personal and professional life. I have learned that by remaining open and receptive, I am attracting gifts and experiences that align with my true essence.
One of the ways I have embraced this newfound creativity is through watercolors and photography. These artistic mediums have become more than just hobbies; they are now self-care strategies that enrich my life, relationships, and career. They tap into the depths of my true essence, allowing me to express myself authentically.
Now, I want to ask you: What does creativity look like in your life? What is ready to blossom and burst into life if you allow it? Take a moment to reflect on the passions that may have been set aside or forgotten. It’s never too late to reconnect with your inner artist, writer, musician, or whatever form of expression resonates with you.
In conclusion, as I continue on this path of self-discovery and empowerment, I encourage you to embark on your own journey towards embracing creativity. Give yourself permission to explore new avenues of self-expression and unlock the hidden talents within. Remember, it is through the act of creation that we find fulfillment and connect with our true selves.
Let us nurture our creative spirits and watch as they blossom into something extraordinary. Embrace the imperfections, take risks, and allow yourself to be perfectly imperfect in your pursuit of self-discovery.
