What if we just… stop?

Before I get into it:
If you are experiencing a block in your artistic creativity then living cyclically could revolutionise your composing in the way it has revolutionised mine.
When we live in cycles, we learn that what ebbs will flow again.
The first step to diminishing creative block is to notice your cycles (any cycle). Trust in it. How do you feel in different stages and does that relate to your creativity?
In up to 3x 60-minute sessions a month, we can work towards leaning into the trust that what once was will be again.
The first 3 sessions are pay-what-you-can (£50 per hour minimum) and £80 thereafter.
I have a particular cycle that I doesn't link up with any of my (known) cycles. That is my marketing cycle.
When I'm in my marketing summer, I am teeming with ideas. I'll post on Instagram, I'll email this newsletter out weekly, I'll feel excited and motivated.
And then, gradually, I'll start to get tired. My focus wanes and something happens (summer holidays this time!) and I skip a week. Or two. Or three...
Any good marketing coach worth their salt will say: 'use that summer energy to plan all your content, so that you can rest when the wilt takes over, but no one else will know'.
Hands up, how many of us have tried and felt like an utter failure?
*puts hand up*
Now I embrace it.
I'm not a robot. We are not robots. And pretending to exist and live like one helps nobody - not me, not my family, my clients or general followers.
I get tired under the limelight. I dislike feeling visible. I'm not the only one. Some people thrive, some people don't.
There is a reason that I am a 'behind-the-scenes' COMPOSER!
So yes, I make the conscious choice to disappoint the algorithms and to drop out when I need to. To be quiet online, to enjoy myself for myself and not put every element of my life out for people to consume and judge.
Would marketing gurus roll their eyes at me?
Yes.
But we are human-beings and our lives are more important than business.
And when we're not forcing ourselves to do things that don't work for us, creativity blossoms.
Would you like to work with me in order to embrace creating cyclically for yourself?
