My name is Charissa and I am an addict.
A course/workshop addict, an information addict.
I have always been a nerd. I love to learn, I love to study, I love reading, I love figuring things out and I love taking classes. I have a thirsty brain!
But my heart is crying for attention and for integration. More living from the heart and less working from the brain.
I had a major aha moment a few weeks ago. All this learning stems from a belief in me that I am not good enough, not wise enough, not skilled enough. But I really feel now that I am. All this outside knowledge is blocking my inner wisdom coming through. I see so clearly now. I have come a long way and I am ready. The energy has shifted, ready to go out and be seen.
Multi-passionate
The thing is that I am multi passionate. I just like a lot of things and I am lousy at choosing (Libra – yes blame it all on the Libra 😉 ). I love spirituality, tarot, yoga, art, doing healings, readings, food/nutrition, “conspiracy theories” and seeking truth, green living and writing. And there is numerology, astrology, palmistry, travelling, fashion, film, interior design (I am still a 3D Libra and love pretty and comfy things) and books. And there are only 7 days in a week and it seems like less and less hours in a day.
Do you also suffer from Next Shiny Object Syndrome?
For this lifelong student, a big lesson is ‘just in time’ learning instead of getting distracted by ‘just in case’ learning. I have so many courses, workshops, books, podcasts, etc. just gathering dust. My head is filled with knowledge I never get to use. Enough of this now. My backpack is so full. I am ready to be of service. I need to do and not get so distracted. Are you like this as well? Or do you have tricks to share how to ‘just say no’?
Focus
To be productive it is best to focus and pick 3 to 5 things to work with for the next three to five years. So this means saying no to everything else. Saying no to distractions. But as creative people we so often have great ideas we don’t want to decline, but they don’t fit in with the focuses at this moment. What to do? Well it is best to save these ideas for later. Write them down so they are out of your head. Be it in a notebook, a computer file, in Evernote. Just don’t play with it now. Focus. Keep all the great ideas and use them when the time is right or when you need inspiration. And focus on ‘just in time’ learning, what you need right now to implement the current focus of your life or business. Narrow in on what you actually spend time and money consuming.
Idea hopping
After coming out of hibernation now, there is so much I want to share this year, so much I want to do just for the sake of doing it because it fuels my passions. My word for this year is ‘live’, but thinking about it, perhaps ‘focus’ or ‘becoming clear’ would be a much better word. Because with all the distractions not much living is done, but more hopping from one idea to the next. Yes I want to live, live fully, but focused. Show up. In a clear way not scattered all over the place.
Our sovereign power
My intention for 2017 is to become clear. Clear of who I am and who Joy in Creation (my biz) serves. To focus and build my brand so I can find my tribe and best be of support to them. I want to live my purpose which is to help you step into your sovereign power and shine bright by fully loving yourself and integrating your shadow.
Focus on coaching
My focal point will be coaching as I don’t feel like putting my energy in one off healings anymore. I am also thinking about only offering readings in combination with coaching, otherwise it just becomes spiritual entertainment, bandages on a wound, but as long as the underlying beliefs and patterns of the problem aren’t addressed, it will return. In order to heal we need to go to the core and be held accountable to take the action steps needed. This is where a coach is needed.
Coaching – Readings – Business Yoga
So this year I will be focusing on developing my coaching offer and I will focus on yoga teaching and doing readings. These are my three main focus points. In the coaching I will help you know who you really are and help you stand in your greatness. You do not have struggle through life all alone.
Self Love & Focus
The focus of Joy in Creation is self love, this is the key and my main focus. Me loving myself fully and taking good care of me and me helping you feel you are love and loved and teach you how to take good care of yourself, make you feel you are so worth it. This is so important for the collective. When we are clear, we project our truth and this shapes our reality. For us to shine is for the collective good. As our combined reality is made of everyone’s projection. So if we want to help humanity, it is important that we be clear of what we project out. In becoming clear we will see the truth reflect back at us. So if we are looking for the truth, all we need to do is see it mirrored back at us. When we face this truth without fear, we heal our collective shadow.
I am not a clear vessel at this moment. There is too much disturbance so the light cannot shine through me.
I am now choosing and focusing. Let the light come through.
I am here to shine my light and to be of service to you so we can shine together.
Release our shadow selves. So we can be clear. Clear about who we are and clear to let the light shine through.
And so it is.
Much love and blessings, Charissa xxx
