Creating from the Overflow
I used to always feel like I needed more. More clients, more followers, more signups on my offerings. Now, I am so filled up with my own enoughness that I am creating, sharing, and expressing myself from pure overflow rather than from a need for my creations to validate me, perform for me, or bring me anything in return.
The energy I’m creating from and sharing from now is just plain different. It’s bigger. It’s truer. It’s freer. It comes from my body. It comes from my truth. It’s more of ME and less of everyone else.
I used to share from “should.” I used to create because I wanted validation. I carefully counted views, likes and follows. I wanted people to see me and value what I had to say.
Now, I see myself. I value myself. Even if no one reads this. Even if no one signs up for my offerings.
Of course, when that happens (and it’s happened to me many times before) there is sadness and disappointment. I know how to create space to deeply feel those valid emotions and be with them so they can move through me organically.
But no longer am I making numbers, likes, or outward validation mean ANYTHING about me, my power, or my purpose here on this Earth. No longer am I using ANY of that as a barometer of my enoughness.
I know I am here to serve. I know I am here to hold powerful space for others to access more of theirSelves. And that begins with feeling safe, grounded, and regulated within myself and my inherent worth and value. Even when “nothing” appears to be happening on the surface. Even when there are no outward signs of validation or positive reinforcement. No matter how many likes, views, or signups there are or aren’t.
None of that matters. What truly matters to me is the joy of creating. The joy of sharing and being witnessed by others. The joy of speaking up for my truth and having hard conversations. The joy of being deeply uncomfortable. The joy of holding desires that have not yet manifested in the physical. The joy of truly embodied expression and the joy of sharing with others from the overflow.
