Commitment Creates.

August 26, 2014 by Melissa Leave a Comment

meandkimosaAt the moment of commitment the Universe conspires to assist you.
Greetings Creative Ones!

Celebrating a rich, colorful   and transformative retreat in Costa Rica a few weeks ago.  Wow, it was my first international retreat and collaboration and it was full of diving into the unknown, trusting my gut, finding my voice honoring my self and many other rich lessons. 

I could not have done it without the support ofYogapainting others, or trusting my vision and my gut to just go for it even though we didn’t have all the details worked out entirely. I had to trust the creative process and go with the flow! Pura Vida!  No one has ever done a paint, surf and yoga retreat in Costa Rica.  What a fun, colorful, inspiring 5-days.

Do you know the one thing that you need to create the life and business of your dreams? 

COMMITMENT.  You need to be clear on your intentions, commit to seeing them through and to surrender to the creative process.  You gotta show up.  Face your fears.  There will be challenges.

 

It will bring up any doubt and purify your vision.  And you will be all the better lulupaintsosafor it.  Say no to distractions, toxic people, behaviors and patterns that test your commitment to your vision. What you focus on expands. That heat and pressure you feel? Don’t’ sweat it.  It is magic in the making.  Its the alchemical creative fire. It is what transforms, what was just an idea into a real tangible experience of your vision in action.


Where are you hiding out?

What can you commit to?

Where do you need to say no to other peoples expectations of you?

Where can you say yes to your heart?
Are you willing to take the journey to what you want?

There is still time to join me on Martha’s Vineyard next month!  Join me for seven days of painting, movement, opening up to live transitions with clarity, grace and ease while unlocking your creativity, authentic voice, freedom, power and potential.

from my fiery heart to yours,

“As soon as I put the first paint on the first piece of paper— I became clear that I was going to paint all the way to the edges. Meaning the edges of the page, not worrying myself with getting it on the wall or putting the brakes on. I used only 2 colors and then had the idea that I would start a second painting — this time with those same two colors and the addition of a third. On checking in with Melissa and telling her of my thoughts she responded ‘Ohhhhh, so you’re making a plan. Why don’t you just use another color now? What are you waiting for?’ and that ‘What are you waiting for’ broke something open for me. Lots of colors came in and the next day at work I realized I felt more grounded and confident in myself. It was the start. From there things have just continued to grow — in my own freedom, confidence and integration — and I love how the painting process continues to unfold. And once in a while I remember to ask myself — “What am I waiting for?”

“Seeking out the services of Melissa has been one of the best decisions I have made. Our work together has helped to facilitate more awareness throughout all aspects of my life, which has brought about more clarity and a greater sense of purpose. No longer will I fall prey to the patterns of old, as the techniques Melissa has so graciously shared, have empowered me to break free of that which is deemed to be less than serving.”

Valerie Guettler Software Engineer

“Thank you for all the support and guidance. My experiences have been invaluable!”
