Want to create? You have the ability to create more abundance, business, relationships, and more. What blocks you? If you are like me, you get in your own way.

I blocked myself from the energy of creation with deep insecurity and fears. Presence helped me unblock my creative spirit.

Hear what Coach Barb Patterson has to say about it:

“Let the mind do what the mind’s going to do.”

“Not more presence to the story, but just more willingness to live in the full range of the human experience, then what happens is we naturally create more . . .

I started creating more traction than I ever had through determination and push.”

Learn to create from presence with a conversation I have with guest Barb Patterson.

Could silence be your best friend?

I used to keep my mind and body busy to avoid moments of silence. I was uncomfortable being with myself. Constant busyness, distraction, and restlessness left me exhausted at the end of the day.

We can be afraid of slowing down. We run from ourselves. In order to avoid feelings, we disassociate and check out. But what if we’ve got it all wrong? Is peace found in the opposite direction, through exploring silence?

If you are restless, discover the way of silence with my guest Dr. Amy Johnson. You can become more present, connected, and creative.

Amy Johnson, PhD is a psychologist, coach, author, and speaker who shares a groundbreaking new approach that helps people find lasting freedom from unwanted habits, anxiety, and self-doubt via insight rather than willpower.

She is the author of Being Human, The Little Book of Big Change: The No-Willpower Approach to Breaking Any Habit, and Just a Thought: A No-Willpower Approach to End Self-Doubt and Make Peace with Your Mind. In 2017 she opened The Little School of Big Change, an online school that has helped thousands of people find freedom from anxiety and habits and live a more peaceful life.

Her most recent course, Resting in Restlessness, explores silence in a way that Adyashanti calls “True Meditation.” Discover what feeling your way through life could do for you. Find inner freedom.

I highly recommend her monthly community. Find more details here: https://dramyjohnson.com/about-dr-amy/
