Cultivating Creative Capital

Cultivating Creative Capital

What if you measured your wealth based on how creative you are, not how much money you make?

This month, we’ll be focusing on acknowledging, expressing, and cultivating our “creative capital” – the intrinsic assets you have to dream, design, and develop new ideas!

Here are four of our favorite strategies as you start exploring and enhancing your creative capital!

Becoming a Life Explorer

Becoming a Life Explorer

Sometimes, we simply need to create more space to explore where we already are instead of going somewhere new. This is the true test of exploration – to be where you are and still find the adventure!

This summer, instead of experiencing travel FOMO and thinking of all the places you’re not, let’s embrace our reality and explore where we are right now.

Recharging Your Connections

Recharging Your Connections

In moments where everything is working, we rarely stop to consider the power of connection and what it allows us to access. Then life happens where you get unplugged or forget to recharge, and you must respond, recalibrate, and plug back in.

Every day, you’re presented with powerful moments to connect, disconnect, or reconnect.

What do you regularly plug into?

Keep Going Strong

Keep Going Strong

As we enter a busy time of year where we’re juggling deadlines, holidays, traveling, and more, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and want to quit before we’re done.

Instead, let’s take a moment to consider how we want to feel at the end of this year and what we need to fuel our lives.

Join us this month as we focus on the value of perseverance and how to keep going.

Gratitude For What Hasn't Happened (Yet)

Gratitude For What Hasn't Happened (Yet)

Missed opportunities. Delayed responses. “Bad” timing. Failures. Waiting…

For all the times we’ve wondered why, and then discovered the blessing or opportunity on the other side...

This month, we’re looking at gratitude through the lens of lack – not gain – as we acknowledge how the things that haven’t happened yet are often as powerful as those things we already have experienced and achieved.

Your Word is Your…

Your Word is Your…

When you follow through, people know that they can trust you. While it often feels impossible to juggle all the demands of life, being true to our word isn’t conditional.

Rather, it’s a core condition of living with integrity.

This month, we’re exploring the value of accountability and how we are known by our commitments.

 

Showing Up To Serve

Showing Up To Serve

This is the great equalizer and common denominator, no matter who you are, where you live, or what circumstances you find yourself in: You have the powerful choice to decide your mindset and take action (or stay in inaction) accordingly.

We were made to show up and serve. 

Service starts with the desire and the willingness to be a change agent and advocate, whether that’s at home with your family or on a larger community or global landscape. This month, we’re highlighting the intention of service and how you can make a difference

Plan the Event, Not the Outcome

Plan the Event, Not the Outcome

Flexibility is much easier than it sounds and harder than you think. It requires a release of expectations, a willingness to be in the moment, and an acknowledgement that you cannot (and should not) control everything.

As the last few weeks of summer melt into fall and the hustle continues, let’s take this month to consider how to approach living with more flexibility, starting with how we relate to what happens…and what doesn’t!

Celebrating Freedom

Celebrating Freedom

Do you remember when you did something really hard on your own for the first time?

Choosing autonomy challenges and stretches us.

It also creates capacity for the next time we’re faced with something really hard that we decide to take on.

But what gets in the way or trying something new? Learn the three of the most common “autonomy blockers” that we experience at all stages of our lives and what we can do about them!

Teaching Trust

Teaching Trust

On the surface, trust appears simple: You either trust someone or you don’t.

But what really makes trust work in our relationships?

And more fundamentally, how do we learn to truly trust ourselves? This month, we’re examining how to build and maintain trust in our lives.
