Dancing with Your Muse

Here's an outline to give you an idea of the angle I'll be taking in my coaching approach; see if it resonates with your journey and try out the sample tools:

Once Upon a Time—The story of your past is usually the one that holds you back the most, although it can also carry the hidden blossoms of your passion. We will explore both the obstacles and the possibilities in this part of your timeline. Discovery and letting go will lead us to the next phase. Try out this exercise based on The Hero Within to get connected to your original Orphan.
The Power of Now, Part I, the Focus—To steal a phrase from the new thought writer and speaker, Eckhart Tolle, we'll need to learn to not just let go of past stuff that doesn't serve us, but to practice staying in the present in daily life; not an easy task for most of us, including me. So, we'll initially look into some daily practices to stay in the now in order to create the discipline for creating the future. You would think that focusing on future goals would get you there quicker, but, not really. Anchoring in the present is an important foundation, as you will see.
Visions of Tomorrow Today—From your anchor position in the now, you can then visualize the who, what, where, when, and how of who you'll be in the next succession of present moments (that is, the future). This way, you can focus on present thoughts, feelings, and actions leading to a goal, rather than running ahead of yourself into just empty imagining that goes nowhere. We'll articulate specific goals related to what you've discovered about where your passion lies, but then we'll focus on what you can be and do right now to make those goals reveal themselves in your present reality. Try out these questions originally posed by Neale Donald Walsch and, go ahead, I dare you to write down your initial answers!
The Power of Now, Part II, the Action—Now is where all the action takes place, so we don't need to worry about the future. We only need to ask, what can I be and do right now that will get me a little closer to pulling that future into my present? And this phase will require some discipline. At first, at least, there won't seem to be any time to take these steps, and the steps, as my good friend Stuart Rosen as said, can be so big that they seem like walls. So, perhaps you'll want a partner to help push you up to the top of the big step, a passion-buddy to remind you and even provide time and inspiration support to take those daily steps. Everyone could use a muse, so we'll talk about resources you can access to find muse help in your journey.
Being Here—When you've gotten into the flow of your passion, in thought, feeling, and daily action, you will find that it's a lot more like being than busy doing, although you may also be doing a lot, too. And this isn't about talking before thousands or writing best-selling inspirational books necessarily. You may be working your passion on a smaller, but just as important (if not more so) scale of family, friends, neighborhood, church community, business, etc. It's your life, your passion, not someone else's, and there are infinite ways to express what you really love to be and do. We'll discover those together and take the steps to make them happen, now.
