Creating with intention
After you’ve started a project — when you have some momentum going — you have the opportunity to edit. Mishaps and mistakes pave the way for adjustments and recalculations.
You can always revisit work to make changes and adjustments, but you must start to get there.
Remember: it doesn’t have to be great to build better.
This Women’s Day, #choosetochallenge:
Challenge a woman to tell her story.
Challenge yourself to listen.
Challenge a friend to find confidence.
Challenge yourself to set a new goal.
This is how change happens — slowly, collectively.
This is how we build a kinder, more just world.
What is a pivot and why is it important? How do you navigate change and make the most of shifts, both unexpected and anticipated?
Listen here for a conversation on change, adaptation, and growth.
What has worked in the past might not work now.
Start with your thoughts. Follow them. Make a list of your wishes and fears, doubts and insecurities, the things you want, and the conversations you’re having.
And challenge them.
Ask whether the thoughts you’re having are true.
Decide if your conversations are helpful.
Are your doubts and fears based in fact?
Change begins with awareness.
Who and what inspires you? Where do you go to find inspiration?
What keeps you pushing and moving forward? What sustains you through hard times?
What do you need to feel supported? How can you get even more?
What does commitment mean to you? What can you to commit to? For how long?
What do you need to feel appreciated and valued? How do you know what you’re doing is working?
Who do you look up to and from where do you receive advice?
What keeps you strong, both mind and body? Where will you learn and how will you grow?
“How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change. And how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin us are the very ones that can break us open and help us blossom into who we were meant to be.”
