My Podcast, Episode 1: Live YOUR Dream, My Dears. For Real.

I’m excited to roll out my new Live Your Dream for Real podcast, episode 1. In fact, it represents me living my dream. :)

I don’t know where this is going

First, I believe coaching others is an inherently creative act. So I’m stepping into the unknown here, with this blank canvas. The truth is, I’m starting this new endeavor not knowing exactly where it’s going every step of the way from here! And more, I say this is relevant to coaching others to live their dreams. Relevant in the realm of meaning and satisfaction in adult life, work, and relationships. Including our relationship to self. Our relationship to life.

Creative Life, Meet the Chakras: How Creativity is Good for Your Health

Creativity is Good for Your Health - Life Coaching with Teresa Young

Why connect creativity and your health?

You may be thinking, what’s one got to do with the other? Well, the beautiful truth is, a lot.

Because we’re all born creative. We just express our creativity in different ways. Through the Arts, yes, but also in our own unique approach to whatever we enjoy doing.

That means anything and everything. Livelihood. Cooking. Parenting. Fashion! Are you a video game designer? An EMT? A teacher? Creativity shows itself in every profession. Continue reading “Creative Life, Meet the Chakras: How Creativity is Good for Your Health”

Who Will You Be in This Pregnant Moment? Just Choose.

Ah. Who will you be, indeed? Just choose, then choose. Then choose again.

I learned the evocative phrase pregnant moment from my former employer, musical collaborator and dear friend Ricardo Accorsi. Deeply creative, equal parts brilliant architect, artist, and musician, he’s gone now. But his way with language—and life—inspires me still.

Because these days I believe every moment is in fact chock full of new possibilities. And that at our best and most objective, we get to choose who we’ll be in each. Not that this is necessarily easy, but it can be a meaningful endeavor.

Every moment is chock full
of new possibilities.

With the magnificent capability of choosing our way as context, what energy, ideas, thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and intentions will we bring to the delicious potential of the present? Continue reading “Who Will You Be in This Pregnant Moment? Just Choose.”

Begin Again Daily, With Your Life as Your Art. And Again. And Again.

Ah, the oh, so human subject of beginning again…

Have you noticed how we humans have good days and bad, inspired moments, ones that don’t represent our best, and everything in between? Are you 100% clear that it isn’t just you?

Yes. Deep breath.

In living the life of your dreams, I’m inviting you here and now to get clear that Every. Single. Moment. is an opportunity for beginning again. With your life as your art, that kind of creativity just comes with the territory.

Are you on track, or off? How often do you step out of all your automatic thoughts and feelings to take a look at that? To take stock? Continue reading “Begin Again Daily, With Your Life as Your Art. And Again. And Again.”
