Back when I worked as a High School
drama teacher, I had a term that I used to describe
really good work happening in my dramaroom: creative chaos.
What was so special about these creatively chaotic
moments was that to anyone just walking by it would have
looked like mayhem, but instead it was students so engaged
in creating that they didn’t notice they were working right
on top of another group of students, that it was so loud, or
that they were, well, working. They would actually beg me
for more time to work (yes, you read that right) and would
create more quality in 15 minutes than they ever thought
possible.
Wouldn’t it be great to feel that way in your business?
That you could just be in action, really quickly, creating
high-quality marketing materials, attracting ideal clients,
producing new products and programs and not even notice
anything else around you (all your other “To-Dos”, or
various projects or housework that needs to get done …)
instead of feeling overwhelmed, like you’re torn in a
million different directions or don’t know where to focus
your attention and energy first so you just give up and
answer email instead or get a snack …
The thing is, you can.
Creative chaos is the second energy point in action, my
friend, and you have the ability to
tap into it – all the time, anytime – in your business
or any other part of your life, for that matter.
First, a bit about the second energy point: it’s located
throughout the hip area of the body, and it’s no mistake
that’s where our creation organs live as well (hmm-mmm, you
know what I mean). The golden key that will have this
energy point going to work for you and your business is in
shifting your thinking. What’s so exciting is that when
you shift your thinking about what you’re actually capable
of creating, nothing can limit the explosion of energy that
will naturally come bursting forth. It’s the Universal
Energetic Principle of Creation.
But, for that to happen, you must be willing.
Let me go back to my drama students to show you what I mean.
To kick-off creative chaos I would usually count the
students off and put them into groups. (Some of them hated
this. This meant they weren’t with all of their friends; you
know, the people they were most comfortable with...) Next,
I would give them the task of what they needed to create and
then I would give them, say, 10 or 15 minutes in which to do
it. At that point there was always 1 or 2 from each
group that would freak out: “What? Are you kidding? How are
we supposed to do THAT with ONLY this?” My answer, “You have
8 more minutes.”
These kids weren’t wrong, and I wasn’t mean. They were
simply playing the role of resistance, and I was playing the
role of persistence. We all have both inside us, and
they live in our second energy point.
The question then becomes, when it comes to creating what
you want in your business: which one do you choose to
activate – resistance or persistence?
Whenever you are faced with wanting something to come into
your business – more clients, new programs, products, more
money, whatever it might be -- you ignite the energy of your
second point, and you call up either resistance or
persistence – depending on which one you’re more familiar
with. If you aren’t sure which it is for you, take a
look at what’s around you. There’s your answer.
Ok, so if you don’t like what you see how do you change? How
do you get this second energy point really working for you?
You must create who you want to be. Shed the old;
create the new. Sounds simple. So why haven’t you done it?
We're all bound together by the common tension that lies in
the second energy point between the belief in your
potential to be your highest and most successful self
(persistence) and the fear that, for a reason most likely
you can’t actually prove, it just won’t happen (resistance).
What I really want to point out here is that persistence
isn’t about struggle, strife and ugh. That’s just resistance
pretending to be persistence. Tricky little energy, huh?
Your EnergyRICH® Call To Action:
Use your energy to say
YES to your creative abilities rather than engaging your
energy to come up with all the reasons of why you can’t.
Take a moment to ponder which one will better serve
your business …
Use time frames. This serves well for activating the
power of creative chaos.
Find someone to keep you accountable. (My drama
students wouldn’t have done it without my constant countdown
reminder and the knowing that they would be asked to present
SOMETHING when the time was up – No Matter What.)
Remember: You are an incredible, powerful person. You
get to create what you want.
Oh, and my drama-students?
Well, wherever we performed I would hear, “I can’t
believe you got these kids to do this.” I still hear from a
lot of my students today – you can see many of them on my
FaceBook Page. The experience has stayed with them and,
well, that’s the power of the second point, right?
