Everyone has a natural CREATIVE RHYTHM. And once you nail it down, your genius just ROLLS.

 
I’m a long-stride short-burst immersion junkie. I like to cover major ground in preposterously short amounts of time (case in point). It’s how my brain likes to play. It’s how my adrenaline likes to flow. It’s how I get my very best work done. And frankly, I’m not interested in working any other way. Whoa. Just said that out loud.

Once I discovered my creative rhythm, and started to design my life & business in accordance with it — instead of against it — my entire world upleveled. My income tripled, in the span of a year — and my whole ‘tude about affluence shifted. My client docket filled to max capacity. My instincts grew sharper. I even slept better at night — no more insomnia, loose-end anxiety or squicky stomach squirming. Swear to Buddha, even my skin looks better.
 

Syncing up with my creative rhythm was the difference between fighting the current in a battered canoe . . . and cruising downstream in a luxury liferaft.

 
Want to discover YOUR creative rhythm — and start making art to the tickity-tock of your inner clock? Read on . . .
 

1 :: Track your I-can’t-believe-I-get-paid-for-this moments.

 
Pay attention to when & where you hit The Zone — that laser-lucid space where work feels like play, ideas flow without effort, and you’re actively in Love with your work. Is it happening during quick-burst, rapid-fire conversations? During leisurely, loose-deadline alone-time? First thing in the morning? At sunset? At midnight? During spontaneous sabbaticals? Or pre-booked, set-in-stone office hours?

Moments of ease, fluidity & sensational productivity are major clues to your creative rhythm. Take note.
 

2 :: Be attentive to resentment.

 
When you scan your calendar for the week, which of your activities, commitments & appointments trigger a visceral sense of resentment? Phone calls? Email blocks? In-person dates? Check-ins & follow-ups? Guuuueeess what? Whatever they are, they’re (almost certainly) in direct opposition with your creative rhythm — either the timing is wrong, the medium is awry, or the item is Lame-O, from the get-go.

Aim for a resentment-free schedule, and you’ll be ten strides closer to your ideal creative rhythm.
 

3 :: Nose around through your praise.

 
Do people consistently praise you for your holy-wow efficiency & lightning-fast turnaround time? Or do they praise your patience, presence & even-keeled THEREness, over the long, looooong haul? Maybe folks are astonished by your spookily serendipitous, just-in-the-nick-of-time insights. Or maybe they appreciate how you show up like the Queen’s Guard — on time, suited up, without fail.

Testimonials, feedback & casual, off-the-cuff praise hold even more clues about your natural creative rhythm. Listen in. And be curious.
 

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it:

 
Pay close attention to the times that you SHINE, without breaking a sweat. Pick up on the timing — and tender, tiny details.

Above all, keep it real. When it comes right down to it . . .
 

How do YOU want to move through the world?

And now, a brief word from our sponSOAR . . .
