054: The 'Secret' To Getting Creative Work Done

Hello and welcome to episode 54 of The Couragemakers Podcast. This week I'm so excited to be sharing with you the very first solo episode of The Couragemakers Podcast! I'm looking forward to releasing them on a regular basis but rest assured - the Monday interviews aren't going anywhere! On that note, Couragemakers is taking a very short break next week and will be back on 17th with a beautiful episode I know you're going to love! This week I'm diving into one of my favourite topics: creative resistance. I'm going to be sharing what obsessing over successful creative's routines taught me (spoiler alert - not a lot!) and how you already have so much of what you need inside you! I hope you enjoy this solo episode of Couragemakers! I'd love to know what you think of this format and any questions/topics you'd like me to cover! Let me know on Twitter or via email: meg [at] thathummingbirdlife.com Have a wonderfully creative and inspiring week and see you soon!   Questions Asked During Today's Show What time of the day do you feel more inspired? What do you feel the urge to do? It doesn't have to make sense What motivates you? Why do you want to do the work/create what you want? Do you like typing or handwriting ideas? Do you work better with music? Does the environment make a difference to you? If so, what helps? What's one thing you can do this week to turn down the noise and do the work?   About Meg & That Hummingbird Life I'm Meg and I'm the host of Couragemakers and founder of That Hummingbird Life. I'm an INFJ creative and multipassionate who has a bit of a notebook and post-it note obsession, loves foot-stomping country music and likes her hot chocolate with way too much chocolate. I started Couragemakers because I wanted to create a platform for passionate and unconventional women to have honest conversations and to share their stories, struggles and dreams. The intention behind this podcast is to inspire and encourage creative and mission-driven women to live a wholehearted life and follow the beat of their drum. When I'm not recording episodes, writing bullshit-free, very vulnerable and encouraging Sunday emails to fellow couragemakers  or making new friends with the wonderful guests, you can find me working on all manners of magic over at That Hummingbird Life. THL is the online home for unconventional creatives and multipassionates who want to show up unapologetically and intentionally as who they are, and really own, live and share their many stories. It's made for couragemakers who have so much great shit to give the world and want to leave their mark but have too much self doubt standing in the way!
