S3E9: Aligning Creativity with Our Values

Back when I did not have a clear understanding of the values that I held most dear, it's no coincidence that I didn't feel like a creator.It turns out: one of my most deeply held values is Freedom. I was not giving myself permission to feel like a creator.How do your most deeply held values align with your self, and your view of yourself as a creator?Today I'm taking you into an exercise that's helpful in those times when you feel like you could use a compass to stay centered amidst the disruption. Best of all – you provide the compass! It's in you.In the today's newsletter I share an exercise in two parts/2 questions:1. What are your (3 to 5) most deeply held values? What's most important to you, when are you at your most joyful? If it's challenging articulating your values… They'll show up in your responses to those two questions.2. How does what you create align with your values?I'd love to hear!
