Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

This week, I found myself staring at a blank screen for way too long. Not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because I felt the weight of needing it to be good, perfect even.

I’d been so focused on “getting it right” that I completely lost touch with what I actually wanted to express. So I closed the laptop, grabbed my coffee, and sat outside with my journal. I wrote one messy sentence, then another - nothing ground breaking, but I felt something shift.

✨✨ The tension started to melt, and I remembered: this is what creativity really is. Not polished, not always productive, REAL!

We all have these moments, especially as soulful creatives building lives and businesses around our purpose. And when you do, it’s not a sign to push harder, it’s a sign to come back home to yourself.​
​
People often connect creativity to output, perfection, or external validation. Waiting for the right idea, the right mood, the right space. But your creativity was never meant to be boxed in by conditions.

​

​

The Takeaway

You were born with a creative pulse and rhythm that isn’t measured in productivity but in presence. And that rhythm flows best when you stop trying to 'get it right' and start allowing yourself to simply express.

✨✨ When you feel blocked, it’s rarely because the creativity is gone. It’s usually because the pressure to perform has replaced your permission to play.

This is your reminder to return to why you create in the first place, not to be liked, shared, or applauded - but to feel alive, connected, and truthful.

Something to Try

Set a timer for 10 minutes today. Create something with no goal, no editing, no polishing, no performing, just expression.
Let it be messy and honest, but more importantly, let it be you.

​

I always love hearing from you.

Stay connected.

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx

Little Reminders:

Hydrate and Pause Most blocks are made worse by dehydration and nervous system overload. Sip water, close your eyes, and take 3 deep breaths before diving in.

Affirm This “I don’t have to earn my creativity, I already am creative.” Speak this out loud before you start and see what shifts.

Make Space to Make Block out 30 minutes this week to create something just for yourself. This protects your joy from the pressures of monetizing everything.
