  • 2.08 - What are you making time for?
    Apr 15 2024

    So… at this point into season two, you’ve made time to reflect on your “why”, you’ve been honest with yourself about the spaces that no longer align with you, and you understand what cleansing the creative palette means to you. Now what?

    In today’s episode, get ready for some mindset shifts as we explore the role of accountability in our creative lives. Much of this is related to bringing awareness to your energy levels.

    At Breathing Space Creative, we are always encouraging folks to consider their energy before taking action with their projects. This looks like:

    • Assessing their priorities

    • Observing limiting beliefs that set you back

    • And being honest with how you can meet your needs right now.

    Open your mind to the idea that it’s not about needing more time, but learning how to better manage your energy.

    If you’re interested in learning more about protecting your energy and the things you want to focus on this season, join our free Say No With Love workshop on April 27th, 2024.
