How to navigate doubt within your creative expression.
Are you a conscious creative and ready to dive deeper into sharing your creative offering with the world but struggling with seeds of doubt?
Whether you are just dipping your toes into serving your local community or looking to expand your horizons into the space of digital ether, lets reflect a few nuggets of wisdom to kickstart your confidence, clarity, and joy for starting the journey.
So, lets dive in.
Mindset is Everything.
You are your thoughts. We know this, we’ve heard it a million times yet nobody goes further to expand upon how we can create a healthy relationship to expressing the extents of our wild and whacky minds while still imbuing our deepest sense of consciousness into all that we do.
For most of us, its not always as easy as saying to ourselves, “ I am Abundance.”
This absolutely is an amazing place to start, but often the second we begin to think the contrary we do one of two things.
Firstly, we either choose to identify with the doubt that we welcomed into our mind and continue to feed these thoughts until they overpower your abundance mantra.
Or secondly, you feel the urge to repress the doubt and begin to focus more on the act of repressing that which you don’t want to welcome instead of expanding upon what you wish to welcome.
If you’ve been a space where you resonate with these ideas, you certainly are not alone and you certainly are not less strong or less confident of a human than anybody else.
Truthfully, anyone who says that they haven’t ever felt this way, or do not feel this way or likely lying to themselves and preventing the true honoring of the ebbing wave of frequency that disciplines our mind.
Doubt is only observed when you believe it.
Doubt without belief or resonance is merely a thought that does not dwell within you, but rather is simply passing through your mindscape.
Your identification of such things is the invitation for that thought to take dwelling within you.
All things and all energies are ever present in our energetic atmosphere. Likely, we are all learning to redefine our boundaries with certain energies and ideas and until we begin to understand our boundaries we might still belief in these concepts such as doubt and fear.
If you spend your energy on diving deeper into the notion of doubt while you are trying to cultivate abundance, you are more likely to see less of what you want and more of what you don’t want. The same is true for repression.
If you are in a space where you a looking for any ounce of doubt to repress, catch in a bag and bury, you are likely going to narrow down your field towards only seeing doubt. No amount of doubt hunting will ever complete this journey.
Your goal is not to eliminate doubt or harm doubt; it is to welcome its way out of your energetic field and therefore your mind space as well.
Your mind is a little party and you need to remember that you have in some way or another welcomed every guest. Your job is not to shame a guest to leave nor to cause a traumatic scene that might discourage other guests from staying, but rather, it is to warmly walk them to the exit and wish them well.
You want to create the space with the guests who are most supporting, inspiring, and encouraging to your expansive path.
This is an analogy of creating a healthy relationship with the guests who occupy your mind space. You are the humble host of the event of mentality, and to you have full reigns to steward the event in the direction you wish.
Any guest that you feel has control over you is simply a limiting belief that you can let go of at any moment. This does not mean there might not be a mess to clean up but it then just becomes a part of the event.
As the main speaker of your mentality, you can begin to direct the conversation any direction you wish. You can choose to focus on your concept of an abundance mindset, for example, and you will begin to notice all of the ideas that possess the polarity of abundance.
In other words, you will notice both the positive and negatives ideas behind the, “one,” that is abundance. In this light, often we might see the densest ideas first, such as doubt.
Observing these first I would argue is actually a healthy practice. It shows you the weight of what is occurring inside of you at any moment, and this does not mean that those dense feelings overshadow the more light feelings and ideas.
How do I deal with doubt when I observe it in my mind?
The densities of your polarity are revealing themselves for you to purify the ever flowing cup of water that is your mind.
Think of it like a cup that that has water and oil among other things mixed inside of it. You might be able to remove solid objects somewhat efficiently; however, if the whole cup is agitated you will have difficulty separating the oil from the water because every component is simultaneously charged and activated.
In order for you to achieve the mindset you desire, you need to let your mind settle. This includes settling even with the awareness that there are less-wanted elements present.
The only way you can remove the oil from the water without damaging your cup is to observe the natural separation of the two within your mind occur by quieting the whole container.
It is very difficult to quiet one part of your mind while allowing another part to shout, so instead learn the slow discipline of letting the whole cup settle so you can visualize your higher self gently scooping the oil from the water inside your cup with honor and releasing it from your cup.
There is little room for you to focus your mindset on abundance if your conscious or subconscious energy is dedicated to the opposite.
To reiterate, the key is to honor all thoughts and feelings in your mind so they can all settle in their respective places of density.
Please, remember to give yourself grace because you cannot expect to clear the whole house in one sitting. This work is ongoing, but will immediately impact your relationship and perception with your mind as a vessel for your highest creation, creativity, and health.
You are the honorable caretaker of your mind, overseeing all the comings and goings of thoughts and densities.
You cannot prevent anyone from joining the space, however, you can create an environment so radiant with your highest purpose that naturally less and less of the unwanted densities will take refuge within that space.
You shall become the joyful steward of the land, taking care to prune branches that no longer serve your highest purpose and being sure to say thank you for each one no matter what amount of pain you might find to do so.
This is the path to creating the mindset you know you need to unlock your full potential.
