Fast Focus: Creative Opposition

Opposition is an essential shaper of the creative process, closing off some choices and pointing in new, sometimes completely unfamiliar and unexplored directions. Think of it as putting banks on a river. Without those banks, a river’s flow loses force. Add banks and you focus and direct a powerful flow.

Where are you experiencing opposition today? If you accepted these limits, what new choices might open up for you? If you let go of your beliefs about why you are opposed, what new possibilities might you see? What else might you do with the energy you are using to resist the opposition?

Inquiry: What request would I make today if I were not afraid of hearing no?

Do-overs and No-cost Coaching
Have you ever started a project with great enthusiasm only to realize you’d jumped the gun? Or that you’d started the right thing in the wrong way?

It happens to all of us. And while we may feel we just have to suck it up, there’s usually an alternative:

A do-over.

Consider this a do-over with benefits
Last week you received an email about the Authentic Wealth Virtual Retreat. After I sent it I realized something was missing.

What was missing was a way for you to experience the retreat in advance, before making a decision about whether or not it is right for you.

So…

You’re invited to a FREE four-week exploration of money, wealth, and wellbeing beginning with an open coaching call on Tuesday, July 31.

It’s a no-cost mini retreat
This no-cost four-week exploration is like a mini-retreat. It includes teaching, coaching, and an opportunity to ask questions–just like an actual Authentic Wealth retreat.

Here’s the schedule.

Tuesday, July 31: Open coaching call
Tuesday, August 7: Money Myths, Boogie Monsters, and Practical Magic (ebook)
Wednesday, August 15: Open coaching call
Wednesday, August 22: End the Money Tug of War (workbook)

Open coaching
During the open coaching calls I’ll coach three volunteers on real issues from their lives. I’ll also break down the ins and outs of an Authentic Wealth Virtual Retreat. And there will be time for Q&A about the coaching and the retreat.

Do you want to be coached?
After you sign up you’ll receive an email inviting you to volunteer for coaching. I’ll choose three people for each call (plus one back-up) based on the topics I feel will be of most service to the group as a whole.

Co-create wellbeing in all dimensions
Did you know that wealth and wellbeing come from the same root word?

Underneath our concerns about money is a fundamental concern with wellbeing: our own, that of the people we love, and that of the planet as a whole.

Let’s explore that level of wellbeing together.

I do hope you’ll join me.

 

PS: Your relationship with wealth can be a source of inspiration and courage to be the change you want to see in the world.
