"Productivity is the art of getting more done in less time." With World Productivity Day just around the corner, I am bringing you a conversation about how you can use your journal to activate your most productive self. In this week's episode we explore: Productivity isn't about doing more stuff alone. It's about creating more spaciousness to do more of the things we want.  Productivity as a mechanism to take more control over your life. PURGE & PLAN journaling techniques to boost your productivity. How mental clutter drains our productivity -- and what to do to get more focused. Julia Cameron's 'Morning Pages' as a tool to access your flow & inner genius. "We can use our journal as a place to purge all the heaviness -- all the clutter, chaos, confusion -- freeing up your mind for clarity, creativity, & deeper concentration."  Purging as a technique that helps you take action quicker.  Planning to climb your equivalent of Mount Everest.  Use your journal as an external brain so you can free up bandwidth for creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. Taking ownership for the mindsets & behaviours that steal your productivity. Productivity does NOT have to be synonymous with hustle. We all have the same 1,440 minutes a day. It's not the amount of time that we have that matters -- but what we choose to do with the time we're given. Productivity is a powerful way to drive efficiency so you have more space and freedom to do the things you love. Get to writing! This week's journaling prompt.

"Let your journal activate the wisdom that lies within."There's so much potency & power in learning how to hear your true self. This is not a path for the faint-hearted! Many of us have experiences or memories of when our expression was shut down. As a result, we learned to doubt or mistrust the voice within. The good news is you can activate this inner knowing -- and your journal can guide you there. Learning to hear your inner authenticity is a potent way to reconnect with your desires, fears, hopes, and dreams. When you choose to express what you discover in your journal, you step into one of the most magical & transformative experiences there is... Because you choose to reclaim YOU. Here's an overview of what we explore in this week's episode: The flip side of information abundance.Activating your intuition & innovation. Remembering the power of your uniqueness. That incredible Martha Graham quote.  Knowing our inner insight is valuable.  "Your journal is a powerful connection point that can help you turn on and tune into the wise voice within." Finding the balance between consumption & creativity. How embodiment can help us hear our truth. Creating within an indistractible place. Journaling in partnership with your feelings. Cultivating curiosity to become braver with ourselves. And more...What would happen if you unblocked your unique expression? Who would you BE, what would you DO, what would you HAVE? I invite you to CHOOSE to hear yourself at a different level. Turn to your journal and use it to collect and capture the wisdom you have because of who you are. You've got this!! This week's journaling prompt.

"Everybody can write, we're born storytellers. Usually, it's just allowing and learning how to start trusting your instincts and your intuition... At the very core of it, it's letting go of, I'm not going to be good enough."This episode's special guest is Terrie Silverman, MFA -- a writer, solopreneur, and director. As writers, Terrie and I met in the most perfect way. We were both co-authors in the brilliant book Sacred Redesign. Terrie is also the founder of Creative Rites where she helps people play, excavate, gather, and assemble their creative gold so they can tame their inner critics, access their authentic voice, and discover their extraordinary stories. Together, we had the most incredible conversation about surfacing your truth, expanding your self-awareness, and discovering what it takes to become a powerful storyteller. Check it out!  In this episode, Terrie and I explore: What got Terrie interested in using writing as a method to tap into authenticity. The disconnect between the inner gold and our ability to express externally. Cultivating the courage & discipline to sit with yourself. Writing as a practice that expands your identity.Moving beyond the worries of being good enough. "I only get to hear the stories of those of us that have survived and that makes it an imperative for us to tell our stories." Terrie's technique for getting your magic out - even when you're stuck. Tips for crushing the editing process.   Unpacking the power of origin stories. Why we believe our own stories aren't that special.  The important difference between anecdotes and stories. And more...I loved this conversation with Terrie. It's always a joy to discover how different writers crack themselves open so they can access the gold within. If you're ready to discover your authentic voice and show the inner critic who's boss, this episode is for you.     This week's journaling prompt.       I remember...Well, the thing is, what I really want to say is...How to connect with Terrie.

I have a lot to say about this episode's topic because it's so close to my heart. Self-expression is a catalyst for more aligned opportunities. It's an invitation to know who you really are, and it's a tool for experiencing life in the most fulfilling of ways. Best of all, journaling is a tool and a practice that can elevate our self-expression - opening the doorway to all the gifts that show up when you can OWN your truth. "When we hold back, restrain, silence, and shrink, there are aspects of  us that go unexplored, unacknowledged and unseen -- sometimes those parts of us are THE most potent aspects of our being."Tune in now to hear us explore: How society stifles our self-expression. Understanding the courage it takes to be our fully expressed selves. Articulating the dangers that restrained expression protects us from. Why self-expression catalyses deep inner work. Allowing self-expression to guide you to your dreams. "When we express our full selves... we step into the space of more opportunities, like-minded people, intuition, and freedom."  How self-expression heightens your awareness of who you really are. Journaling as a tool for developing the skill of self-expression.  How childhood experiences can make us lose trust in our self-expression. My personal story of reclaiming fearless self-expression. The power of the edit. And more...Deep down we all have a deep need to be seen for our truth. We're drawn to authenticity because there's a part of us that wants to experience life without the social mask. We want to feel that feeling of being uncensored and untamed.  It can take huge courage to show your full self. And your journal is here to help open the floodgates to more experimentation, intentional risks, and more.  What does your authentically expressed self feel like? I invite you to find out... page by page. This week's journaling prompt.       What's burning inside?

"When we take to our journal to process a moment, we are SEEING ourselves and HEARING ourselves. We become the witness to our own experiences and we take back that place of empowerment."  Woohoo!

"Bravery is about moving through our expansion and growth pains to tap into what's on the other side." Often the thing in the way is our thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions about who we are and who we can be. We can use our journal to elevate our courage, confidence, and bravery by writing our way to brave. In turn, the impossible can feel just a bit more possible and our dreams can become a reality. In this episode we explore: What does it mean to be brave? The relationship between fear and the life we want. The difference between real and perceived fears. How our childhood experiences can keep us playing small. Exposing the multitude of things that hold us back. "Fear is a compass and an invitation to grow into life."Why stay with discomfort instead of going for our dreams. The potent power of elevating your noticing skills by becoming the witness.Why it's powerful to slow things down. Why our saboteurs are actually protecting us.And more...I’m my own worst enemy. I’m usually the one who’s most in the way! My relationship with fear is what I’m always working at… rooting out the things that hold me back and then transmuting them with journaling. I invite you to try this for yourself - and see if you can write yourself BRAVE.JOURNALING PROMPTS. If you could turn your braveness up by 50% what would change in your life? What would you suddenly have the courage to be or do? What would be the result of that? What if you turned up your braveness by 75% or even 100%... then what? Are you ready to turn that dial? If so, write down up to FIVE things that you could do over the next week to experience your BRAVE at a higher level. Also, check out the BestSelf Co. range of journaling tools:1.
