I’ve been challenged in a very negative way in my full-time employment that has lead me to really think about what I want to do. I’ve read a pile of ‘living your dream’ and ‘find your ideal job’ books. There’s a lot of good stuff out there. Search Amazon or your favourite online booksellers for some titles that might be for you. Among the pile of books I discovered a gem of a book The Creative License by Danny Gregory (http://www.dannygregory.com/). It’s about creativity (obviously) and drawing and journalling and feeling good about yourself. It’s inspirational and has helped me recharge my commitment to myself and my creative journey, putting me back on my chosen path and accepting that it’s my path and it might not be to anyone else’s taste. That’s the risk that you take when you commit to your own creative future.
I’ve also been on a personal coaching weekend which was run by the Coaching Academy (http://www.the-coaching-academy.com/) which has also help me clarify and prioritise what I need to do to be where I want to be. I would reccommend life coaching to everyone. It really helps you to clarify what you want and how to get there. You can do it on you own if you can be disiplined. Again, look at Amazon etc.
So I’ve reaffirmed my commitment to writing and I am drafting an action plan as I type (poetic license).
Write to you soon.
