Creativity moves in seasons — and sometimes the season we find ourselves in are slow and tender. It’s these slow seasons where my mind is often the harshest — rattled with criticism on why I’m not moving faster, producing more, or showing up in a particular way. In this video, we contemplate how to honor these slower creative seasons, tune in to the medicine our body needs, and find some magic along the way. https://www.aaliyahmadadi.com YouTube Substack Mailing list Instagram Subscribe for future videos!

In the pursuit of creating a fulfilling and creatively expressed life, nothing is more paramount than your ability to remain focused and committed to your desires. In this episode, we explore the energetics behind staying devoted and committed to your intentions, goals, and dreams. We discuss why discipline is generally not the most aligned way to go after your goals and how the pathway of devotion opens us to even deeper commitment, alignment, and success.  This is about learning to trust the wildness of your heart rather than the limitations of your mind. It's about relinquishing control and surrendering into the creative current of life that is always with you, behind the scenes, supporting you in rising to your full potential. It's about deeply knowing that your desires are calling you, not just for YOU -- but because when you are living a fully expressed and authentic life, it also inspires others to go after their dreams too (aka. creating more beauty, light, love, peace, unity and more on the planet). I hope this episode inspires you to go ALL IN ❤️  In your corner, Aaliyah WORK WITH ME: https://www.aaliyahmadadi.com/ Watch on YouTube Sign Up for my Newsletter: https://tinyurl.com/2ecxmpf9 Instagram: https://instagram.com/aaliyahmadadi Substack: https://aaliyahmadadi.substack.com
