Are you a consumer or a creator? What do I mean by this? &nbsp;If we just live in default of what is going on around us or resist what is going on we are literally consuming it - like digesting a huge plate of food of all different types and not really consciously eating. &nbsp;We are trained to look outside ourselves and see what is there as coincidental, not our fault and actually real for us and everyone else. &nbsp;And what we see is dependent on what particular lens we look through but fear, anxiety, anger, rage, upset, sadness, guilt and shame are dominant emotions we see in our lives, we are wired into being and are told that they are also relevant and real. &nbsp;Take this pandemic for example. &nbsp;The common narrative is be scared of it and then we are shown the polarised view that it's not real and our rights are being taken. &nbsp;What do both have in common? Fear and a lack of trust in our own knowing.If we are agreeing or resisting a narrative in our lives - whether it's a global one or a more localised one - we are actually consuming our lives unless we actually ask Is this real and true for me? &nbsp;Everything we perceive is actually a projection of our past thinking, emotional states and unconscious ways of being and by default it's limited and based on societal, ancestral and familial conditioning and programming. &nbsp;It's a projection of what our brains tell us unless we have shifted our focus to using our superconscious aspect or deep knowing to create our lives from.How do you know you are just consuming and not creating?*you get upset, angry or sad &nbsp;about things outside you and this lasts long term*you feel out of control*you let your thoughts and emotions dictate your actions*you don't see there is any other way than what reality looks like to you right now*you feel trapped in a loop of circumstances and outcomes*you have a busy head which leads you to feeling low or limitedThese are all part of consumption &nbsp;- your brain and body is wired to believe and receive what's outside of you as true and not actually questioning that something else is possible with a different brain orientation or perception of life. &nbsp;Or never asking if there is a new and unlimited way to be in the world. &nbsp;When we are creating our lives we live in possibility and curiosity - asking what else is possible beyond what we see or perceive right now? It's not a life built on default but creating our own more joyful and ease filled realities and not buying into the narratives of fear, anger, shame, guilt outside of us or in our thoughts.&nbsp; It is all a story - there is no way that you have to respond to anything in a certain way and our emotions are just chemical residues of past unconscious patterning. Therefore to be at the effect of them or what we see outside ourselves is just insanity and a consuming way to be in the world rather then a creative way to be.It's a shift in perspective and an orientation away from fixing what's around us to creation which is actually our true state. &nbsp;An example of this in my life is being self employed in Covid. &nbsp;There was so much online about economic downturn, recession coming, you'll loose clients and to pull you belt in. &nbsp;I have done the opposite - moved all my tech to a new platform which creates professional looking sales pages and websites, bought some business coaching which has paid for itself already, signed up my first long term client and I'm launching my signature long term programme soon. &nbsp;I did not consume the narrative around lack in businesses and stepped out further and created my own way of doing things based on my deep knowing when to act and what actions to take. &nbsp;This is actually our true nature and what nature actually does but it has been lost to us through western education and programming. If you want to start creating instead ask:Is this really true for me?What else is possible for me beyond what is here right now?What do I know here that others don't?I wonder what my next congruent action is?I wonder if I'm focusing on stories or on creating my life?Keep asking. Don't answer and you will become aware of what is truly possible for you and get more awareness of when you are buying into the stories around you.Come join my free group called Soul Fuelled Circle for Midlife Mums and access two free zoom calls a month -designed to support you to be Soul Fuelled and Soul Led.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/soulfuelledcircle">https://www.facebook.com/groups/soulfuelledcircle</a>
