How to make room for making
An Impulses subscriber wrote to me with the question:
“My creative life has been on the back burner due to day job and health work, family stuff. In addition to the day job stuff, I have 3 personal areas to keep going…yet I know that my artist work is the soul work (music and performance writing). How to manage my creative side when the “work” side takes so much time?”
This is a great question and is one we all face – how to manage our time and energy and attention?
We all have our valuable and precious resources – our time and energy. We are extremely privileged to be able to make decisions about how we spend these resources.
Yes, a certain amount is allocated to survival, i.e. making money to pay our bills. And if for some reason you do not have to work to pay your bills, my guess is there are plenty of other things that take up your time and energy.
But beyond our working hours, we do have time and energy and we are responsible for making the kind of choices that foster our happiness.
My question is this: What are you choosing over your Soul work? How can you afford to not do your Soul work?
If we set our Soul aside, what’s left? What is the lived and felt experience on a daily basis of not devoting at least some of your time to Soul work?
Sometimes we have other obligations that will end. Caring for aging parents. Decluttering projects. Finishing up a degree.
During those times it gets harder to devote time to our Soul work. During those times, it may be just a 15-minute/week practice. Sometimes our creative agenda needs to be deferred or reduced.
But if you don’t have a massive commitment like that, and you are putting your Soul work out in the garage with the other unwanted ‘stuff’, I think you can do better.
I completely believe that making things – writing, making art, building a business – is our Soul work. We show up on the planet with this deep, deep desire to create, and it’s our human work to bring those creative urges into form.
We are called to align our energy, our attention and our time so that we can be makers and not just doers and consumers.
I am right alongside you in this challenge to juggle all the things I have to, get to and want to do. I’m not perfect. There are weeks when my seat at the art table is cold. On those weeks, I am cranky and ‘off’.
But when I can get in even a bit of play time, unfocused, non-agenda time in the art studio noodling around, I feel complete.
In all the years I have been coaching, I always work with clients and students on this issue. One of the biggest mistakes we make is thinking we need a big chunk of time to work. But dang it, sometimes life doesn’t hand us the uninterrupted weekend to blissfuly be in the making zone.
That is why I advise you to find small bits of time, even 15 minutes a week, to devote to your Soul work of creating. That time will nourish you and will grow. It will also inform all the other things you do, and will be well worth it.
If you cannot devote 15 minutes a week to your Soul work, you are robbing yourself and it’s likely deeper issues preventing you from taking time to play. These deeper issues are also ones many of us share: fear of not being good enough. Fear of being too good. Fear of being authentic. I get it! Our tender egos HATE looking like a fool or amateur.
You are the only one who can know if you are doing everything you can to get to your creative work or if you are avoiding it because of fear or distraction.
That’s okay! It’s okay to be afraid and distracted. But get clear on what this is costing you and how long you plan to let your creative drive remain in idle.
Take one small step this week. Just let your Soul lead your by the hand to the guitar, to the easel, to the blank page and start with one note, one mark, one doodle. Your Soul will pick things up from there.

Without this, creating will be a battle
February somehow became my month of anniversaries. This month I am celebrating:
• 22 years of dedicated writing
• 20 years of practicing yoga (holy moly! Immmmmm)
• 15 years completely self-employed at Original Impulse
• 15 years of publishing Impulses (Have you been on this list since February 2001? Contact me with your postal address and I will send you a treat in the mail!)
• 3 years of non-drinking (alcohol, that is. I still drink a lot of liquids!)
When I thought about writing to tell you about this, I asked myself, So what? What’s the point of sharing all this? How does trumpeting my anniversaries serve you?
This forced me to look at what fuels my consistency. These are some pretty long-term investments. These commitments completely govern my days.
Why am I able to sustain these practices and this business of serving creative people? Because I’m so disciplined? No. I hate the concept of discipline. The stern nuns at Catholic school only fueled my rebellious streak with their disciplinary tactics.
Because I’m from Ohio and we relish the value of good hard work? That’s true, but I also love loafing around reading and watching movies.
Finally, last week during a yoga class, it came to me. I am able to sustain these practices because my life purpose fuels me. My life purpose is this:
Love.
Love what I love.
Show that love.
Inspire you to love what you love.
I love these commitments. I love writing. I love how yoga makes me feel strong and open. I love being my own boss and serving your creative dreams. I love the clarity and energy I feel without alcohol in my life.
This love imbues the deepest essence of my work. While I know that a certain amount of discipline is necessary to make our creative work, I also know that we tend to respond more consistently to things we are devoted to.
Here’s how I experience it:
Discipline pushes us from behind to do the work.
Devotion pulls us from the heart to do what we love.
Without love, creating will be a battle you fight against yourself. In my classes – Free-Write Fling, Make Writing a Happy Habit, and Capture the WOW, I train people to look for their love. I ask questions like:
• What do you love about writing?
• What time of day feels like a natural flow for doing your creative projects?
• What do you love in the world and what materials help you show that love in your journal?
On our group call last week, I shared my theory about why we get creatively blocked:
Our ability to create is directly proportionate to our ability to love, respect and honor ourselves.
No amount of time management, classes or discipline will work if you don’t feel you are worthy of taking time to write, doodle or dance. I hate to say it, but without love, it’s going to be very, very hard to make your creative dreams real.
Take that in and see if it’s true for you. If you feel stuck, could it be that you could use a bit more self-honoring?
Listen. There is nothing wrong with you. Seeking solutions to ‘fix’ or ‘force’ you to do the work never last. Instead, look for love. Look at your creative impulses as an invitation to love yourself, to love your life and to let what you love lead you to creative expression.
join me for more love
We’re still enrolling students in my semester of writing and Capture the Paris Wow.
Join us to love writing every day in February in the Free-Write Fling.

Believe it to receive it
1) Know what you want.
2) Ask for it.
3) Believe you can have it.
(I would also add work my ass off but that’s another conversation.)
Like most practices and belief systems, my relationship to this manifesting approach needs regular upgrades. As we evolve, so we need to evolve our capacity.
I recently had a reading with a healer who, when faced with my current dissatisfactions, pointed me toward the beliefs and thoughts I hold that block my manifesting. ARGH! I wanted answers, not pointing toward more work I must do.
But that is the path of the life artist – it’s not a set and forget approach to manifesting what we want. Our beliefs and thoughts are a perennial garden that need tending. Weeds of fearful thoughts and outdated, toxic beliefs must be rooted out and removed.
Right now, my work is believing I am deserving of the things I want. That sounds easy, but it’s this third step that can be the most challenging. I need to see the beliefs that are blocking the love and replace them with new beliefs. There is a very primal and visceral belief around ‘deserving’ that I must deal with.
For me, my art is always a path to my spiritual growth and enlightenment. During the healing session, I wrote ‘Believe it to receive it.’ In order to receive what I want, I have to believe I can have it. And that I deserve it.
So I made this piece as a reminder for me. I share it as an invitation to open to believing you can have what you want, and to receiving it with joy and gratitude.
What do you notice about how your beliefs impact what you receive?

Follow Through and Finish: Lesson four: Make time for your projects
Week four! I hope you’ve found this month’s lessons to be useful in helping you wrangle your brilliance into form. Today’s lesson will be short.
I hope you can make our group call tonight at 4:00 pm PST, 5:00 pm MST, 6:00 pm CET, 7:00 pm EST. (Convert to your own time zone here.)
Step one: Get present
Look at your calendar for the next three months. Take into account your existing obligations. Then return to your map and look at the stars next to the projects you wanted to focus on for the next three months.
Highlight those things. You should have no more than three projects or areas of interest highlighted for the next three months. Even that is probably too much but I understand it’s hard to choose just one thing.
Looking at your calendar and project desires might force you to re-assess. I almost always have to postpone or punt something off the list at this part of the process.
Step two: Make choices for this quarter
In a separate document, list those 1-3 projects you’d like to work on in the next three months. Go back to your mind map and take the action item bubbles and mark dates next to them. You want to be able to look at things in the order of when you do them. You might not have all the information to know this but make the best estimates you can.
Give yourself more time than you think you need. Take into account all the other things you are doing. If you have any big personal or work projects like: moving, a wedding, children’s graduation or other big events, take that into account.
Step three: Brainstorm next steps
Free-write your answers to these questions:
• What do I need to work on this?
• What will I do this week to prepare your workspace/workflow?
From here, put your action items into your to-do list.
Voila! This should give you a sense of how to move from planning stage to action stage.
Right about now, things might have gotten a bit, er, less fun. When I teach this in person, I always say, “What’s that smell? Oh, it’s the rubber meeting the road.”
I joke but it isn’t always fun to take a sober assessment of your time, existing commitments and things you want to add in. We LOVE possibility. It’s easy peasy to live with the possibility of all our great ideas. And it’s good hard work to actually make them. We may unconsciously know that and want to avoid facing the reality of our limitations, so we stay in the dreaming phase, clinging to the ephemeral pleasure of Dreamland.
Why do I care that you write and make things and not just dream about them?
I don’t give these lessons to you to make you feel limited. My intention is to train you to develop a process that helps you take your ideas into action and into the world.
I believe that it’s much, much, much better to face the challenges inherent in writing or making things than to sit on the sidelines as a dreamer watching everyone else publish their books, essays, blogs and whatnot.
I believe that making things makes us. I am a MUCH better person as a result of the books I have published, the art I have made and the things I have built through Original Impulse.
That’s why I do the work of helping creative people focus, follow through and finish things that matter to them.
That’s it! Our class is complete. Feel free to share your experience on the Original Impulse blog or hit ‘reply’ to let me know personally how this has helped you.
Two reminders
Enrollment is still open for February’s Free-Write Fling, which starts on February 1st. This is such a great way to start working on these projects now. Join us to write every day in February.
Remember, I’m bundling two cycles of the Free-Write Fling with Make Writing a Happy Habit. MWHH helps put all the pieces in place in your life so your writing practice is sustainable, perfect for you and enjoyable. We are going to have a ton of fun getting things done this seasonand I do hope you join us. Reserve your seat here.

Follow Through and Finish: Lesson Three: Choosing a project
How did it go with the mind mapping last week? I’ve been teaching this powerful method for years. Most people love it, but some don’t. If it’s not your bag, don’t worry about it.
Hopefully you have a sense of all the projects you could work on and some actions they require. You might be wondering: Why did we go into project management mode instead of just leaping into one of the projects?
Because we love the beginning idea phase of projects so much, we often fail to get a livable sense of the scope of the project. We are prone to adding more projects onto our plate without realizing how much bandwidth is required.
I am SO guilty of this over-enthusiasm. But year by year, I get better at managing my time, focus and energy on things I can actually make happen. This step today has led me to so much greater satisfaction and I hope it does for you too. Let’s work our magic, shall we?
Step one: Get a lay of your Projectland.
Scan your mind map of your possible projects or your Projectland. You should see:
4-5 categories representing areas of interest for youseveral projects or ideas in each of those areas of interestaction steps for at least a few of those projectsStep two: Drill down
Now, here’s the part where we use our magic aka intuition. Let’s soften our focus and feel into it. All of these ideas represent your unfiltered enthusiasm for what you want to write and create. It’s good to get it all out and to savor your exuberance. We LOVE this sense of possibility. Let’s take steps toward bringing our brilliant ideas into reality.
Look for the categories or projects that feel most exciting to you now. Don’t over-think it. Just get a felt sense of what’s right for you NOW. Mark with stars, stickers or colored marker those items that feel most compelling now. Mark as many as you want.
Now, make an additional star next to the things you want to work on this year. You may not complete the project within a year but you can put some attention there.
Repeat this process with the question:
What do you want to focus on in the next six months?Then ask again and make stars for projects you want to get to in the next three months.Then one month.What do you notice? Which specific projects have the most stars? If you’d like, free-write about your experience with this process, taking note of any fears or concerns that may have arisen.
Next week, we will look at how to choose which projects to work on and how to make sure you have space in your life for them.
If you want to chime in on how this is going for you, leave a comment below.
Focus, Follow Through and Finish group meeting information
Don’t forget, we have a group video conferencing call next week where I will answer questions you have about this process.
You can call in from your phone or join via computer where you will be able to see me and your fellow participants.
Mark your calendar for Wednesday, January 27th at 4:00 pm PST, 5:00 pm MST, 6:00 pm CET, 7:00 pm EST. (Convert to your own time zone here.)
Here are the details about how to join the call. Save them so you’re ready next Wednesday.

Focus, Follow Through and Finish: Lesson Two: Sort Your Brilliance
This is part two of a four-part course to help you map your projects. View the first lesson here.
How was your free-writing week? What was it like to have all your creative wishes out on paper? I know the first time I did this, I strutted for a good day or two afterward.
There was something so innocent yet powerful about releasing to the page all the projects I wanted to work on. To see all the things I wanted to learn, and all the places I wanted to go with my art. Kind of like that juicy feeling of possibility when you’re in a bookstore or art supply shop.
Ah, the dreaming. So much fun! Better still is taking those dreams one step at a time toward the exuberance of the finish line. Let’s move to the next phase, shall we?
You might want a few supplies. You don’t need to buy anything for this. Just use what you have. It can be super simple – pencil scrawls on a paper or colorful visuals. You might enjoy using:
• pieces of paper, big or page-sized
• multi-colored post-it notes
• stickers, stars
• colored pens or markers.
I mean it when I say DO NOT BUY ANYTHING to do this. So often we mistake buying things with making things and they are not the same. As I like to say, consumerism is the weakest form of creativity. Sure, it’s creative but not as potent as making things. Okay, on to the lesson.
The purpose of this week is to start sorting things into categories and to get a sense of the scope of work for each project. We’re still at the high-level planning phase here but this week’s work will guide you toward focusing your efforts.
Step one: List it!
Re-read your free-write, underlining specific things you want to do.
Next, in a separate document, put all those things into a list of writer or artist wants. Name the list something fun if you want.
Here are the first ten things on my list of 39 things my artist wants I did a few years back when I was just beginning to claim my seat in the art studio:
1. Time to explore and play and not have it have to relate to my business.
2. Scheduled time in the studio.
3. Finish the hand-drawn alphabet.
4. Re-read The Creative License.
5. Start drawing on bigger paper.
6. List pithy things I’ve said and illustrate them.
7. Illustrate things I’ve written like 29 Ways to Take a Creative Leap.
8. Study Maira Kalman’s process.
9. Keep drawing every day.
10. Read Orla Kiely’s book Pattern – make notes.
You can see my desires are all over the place. Some big projects, some small. Some focusing on improving my craft. Some possible, some daunting. It doesn’t matter how many items you have. Or how reasonable they are. We are still in the dreaming phase, merging toward a bit of order.
Step two: Sort into categories
Now that you have a list, let’s look for patterns. Read over your items to identify major categories. They could include:
• genres to try
• specific ideas to write
• publications, books or podcasts to access
• places you want to publish
Step three: Make a dream map
Identify no more than 5 categories. Now, on a separate piece of paper (you might want a big one for this), make a mind map. Each category gets a major circle. Each idea has its own circle within that category.
Looking at my list, I saw a bunch of things related to hand lettering. So I made a bubble on the map for lettering as a major category or area of focus. From that bubble we have:
• Choose a consistent font for my handwritten signs.
• Finish hand-drawn alphabet.
• Make 3-4 fonts and name them.
• Brainstorm how to do an illustrated column.
Step four: Make an action map
Each of these mini projects will require a series of action steps. Next, make bubbles with one action step per bubble.
From each project, add bubbles with action steps. You can also use colored sticky notes instead of writing on paper. That way you can have different projects with different colors and can also move the items around.
This listing and mind-mapping process should give you plenty to work on this week. Keep drilling down. It’s very possible that you won’t get to a sense of completion with your mind maps. That’s okay.
You’re not going to get ALL of the ideas into project bubbles. Some of those things on your dream list will happen now, many more will happen later. Some might never happen. That’s okay! We always have more ideas than we can actually implement.
Also, don’t worry about doing the projects yet, just keep getting specific about action steps that each one might require.
Keep mind mapping until you don’t see anything else to write down. Be sure to put the date on your maps. And jot down your questions; we’re having our group call in two weeks and there will be time for Q&A.
Next week: We will use magic to choose which projects to focus on sooner rather than later.
Have fun with this! Feel free to share your experience in the comment section below.
Warmly,
Coach Cynthia
p.s. If you like this organic yet structured approach to productivity, you will love my class Make Writing a Happy Habit. I put everything I know about how to set up a solid writing practice into this class.
To uber-ize it, I’ve bundled it with two cycles of my popular Free-Write Fling class to make the Thrilled Writer program. We start February 1st; won’t you join us? Get your seat in our online writing workshop here.

Focus, Follow Through and Finish: Lesson One: Capture Your Dreams
Welcome to this short, sweet and potent email course! Each week, I’ll share a step that builds on last week’s step. Each lesson will take 30-60 minutes. You can do it all at once or dip into each week’s lesson over the course of the week. Feel free to hit ‘reply’ and send me any questions or comments about your experience with this class.
We kind of began last week with my coaching inquiry: What’s your creative edge?
It doesn’t take long to identify your creative edge. In case you missed last week’s Impulses, you can read the post about discovering your creative edge here.
Now that we have an overarching focus for your creative year, let’s get more specific on what you want for your writing or art making.
We’re going to use my favorite writing method, free-writing, for this first step. It’s simple and can be used for all and any types of writing. Books, essays, poetry, marketing writing, personal journaling…free-writing works for it ALL.
Here are a few important instructions for how to free-write.
1. Set a timer for 5, 10, or 15 minutes.
2. Use a prompt. I’ll give you the prompt for this lesson in a minute.
3. Don’t stop writing, not even once, during the session.
4. Write with the intention of exploration, not perfection.
5. Don’t judge your free-writes. Good or bad. They’re free – practice!
6. Go with what comes up. Even the scary, rude or unmentionable stuff.
7. Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, or grammar. Phew!
You can return to these guidelines any time you need a refresher on these simple ‘rules’.
This is a time to dream, to really relish all your great ideas and your love of possibility. Getting your many ideas out on paper can be cathartic, fun and useful. No censoring in this step!
Okay, now that you know what to do, get a notebook, paper or open up a digital document. Set a timer for 15 minutes and use the following prompt to free-write: My writer/artist wants…
Jot down all the things you want to make, see, do, experience as a writer or artist. Write it all down, every last desire. Don’t worry about making any of this happen – just dream it all out on paper. Feel free to go longer than 15 minutes. Write it ALL out.
Do this now. Go on, it’s only 15 minutes.
There! Wasn’t that fun?!
You can read it over right away if you like or wait. I prefer to put some distance between the writing and reading. You have a whole week to read your dream letter or to add more anytime you want.
Be sure to read your free-write before next Wednesday. Feel free to jot any impressions or thoughts that come up as you read your missive. We will build on this homework each week.
Bonus homework: Notice what feelings or thoughts rise up as a result of admitting what you want for your creative self. Use free-writing to riff on any surprises or insights. Be kind and patient with yourself as you witness your creative enthusiasm emerging.
Next week, we will begin sorting these ideas. Don’t worry – we’ll still be in the yummy dreaming phase!
Till next time, enjoy admitting what you want! It’s fun.
Yours,
Cynthia
p.s. Go ahead and play with more free-writing this week. Free-writing is my number one foundational practice that has allowed me to publish thousands of articles and a handful of books. I use it for dreaming like this but also for all of my work writing. I’ve written all my books this way and my students and clients love this method.
My popular Free-Write Fling class will take place every day in February, and if writing is on your wish list this year, you will love this class. Find out the details here.
Or, even more exciting is my new package of writing classes to make 2016 your writing year. Check out my new Thrilled Writer program here.
