Creative Blocks and Comparison

Hey friends:

I’m back with a topic for my fellow creators and creatives out there who may be feeling blocked or weighed down from the pressure to create.

Recently I experienced a lot of internal pressure to write, to make videos etc. for the sake of consistency, and fueled by comparison. There are people online who I follow and admire that constantly create and it’s so easy to feel like I’m falling short sometimes when I compare myself. My body and mind truly needed rest after working so much, and I was having trouble admitting that some days are better than others when it comes to creativity and productivity and that I have my own process and journey to go through when it comes to creating that can’t be compared.

If you can relate and struggle with some of the same things, I made a video yesterday that covers how we can move through feeling stuck in our creative blocks, embrace the process and honor our own individual methods and ways of creating.

You can check it out here:

I’m happy to report that I’m more inspired and in flow now because I gave myself the time to feel, to introspect and to share the lessons learned without overthinking it.

Hope it’s helpful, I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic!

Love,

Gabriela

Let the new chapter begin.

Happy Monday, everyone! Mondays are sort of strange for me these days, I’m actually excited for them! After taking it easy on the weekend and spending quality time with my partner and foster doggy, I know it’s time for me to get back to my work.

This Monday is special because I am launching an updated website, that feels more like me. I believe my current mission to is to see how my coaching business can positively impact others and change my life. There’s a fire in my belly, urging me to get this work out, and see what type of feedback I receive from the world.

Throughout this journey, I’ve stumbled with my own self confidence. I’ve thought: who am I to be doing this–to be coaching? Or, how can I just decide to start my own business and dictate my own life and schedule? Sometimes I felt like I was living in my own fantasy, waiting for the bubble to burst.

For months now, I have been experimenting and learning. I hired a business coach and took several courses, worked thoroughly on my own self-development and came to the conclusion that now it is time for my own inner-guidance to take the lead. From this point on, I am trusting myself to know best & to take forward only the information and lessons that resonate with me.

The truth is, after listening and experimenting with so many other opinions on how to grow this business, I’ve been waiting to give birth to my mission in a way that feels authentic to me.

The re-vamp of my website represents this new chapter. It was created to express what feels true in my heart: I want to help others connect to their inner-guidance and live joyous lives, and I am bringing forth the confidence that I am prepared to do it.

Love,

Gabriela

An Invitation to My Journey

Sharing, I’ve come to realize is one of the things I’m always certain to be excited about no matter how much I grow and change throughout the years.

Since I was little, I’ve often fantasized about having an audience to share with. Whether it be a song, a dance, a poem or a spiritual lesson, bringing my unique take to the world has always been important.

I assume it’s a natural desire to have a space to share your ideas, and the chance to inspire and be understood.

I believe that our dreams and desires are guides. They are places on a map, if you will, that you are called to try and get to. I can’t imagine how heartbroken and confined I’d feel if I I let those dreams just sit there and rot. If I pushed them to the side, over and over again to try and be “realistic.”

It’s a blessing and a curse, to be stubborn against all the world’s notions of “reality” and fight for your right to dream large, to stumble, and to build yourself up, over and over again.

If I know anything about myself, it’s that I’m a dream chaser. One of my longings includes to write, and to inspire, so here I am–treading along this vast journey of mine.

I invite you to join me on this ride of gaining clarity and precision on exactly what I want, on finding and exploring the tools to get there, and creating a freedom-based lifestyle, where I have the time (and funds!) to make this a joyous, authentic life.

Sounds doable, right? 🙂 That’s what I keep telling myself.
