How to Start

You have a brilliant idea for a story, video, business, painting, website, song…
You've always wanted to be an actor, musician, entrepreneur, writer, speaker, artist…
If only you had enough time, money, talent, expertise…
In my work, the #1 question I get is, “How do you have time to do so many different creative things?” And the #1 frustration I hear is, “I wish I had more time to follow my creative passions.”
Often when we want to start something new, or revisit a creative pursuit we USED to do, we feel overwhelmed, unsure. A voice inside says, “Maybe I don’t have what it takes,” or “Who do you think you are? You can’t do that!” So we make excuses, procrastinate & let our dreams sit on the shelf, collecting dust for one day. That one day is now! In this class, you'll learn how to cut through the static & take effective, manageable steps toward manifesting your creative goal.
Using visualization techniques & writing prompts, we will:
Get clear on WHAT you want to create;
Identify what's standing in your way;
Imagine tactics for moving through, around, over or under those obstacles;
Create a clear action plan to start you down the right path.
Expect to do some writing, explore meditation, dive into visualization, engage in collaborative group discussion & leave feeling inspired & empowered. You have something to share with the world -- don’t wait for the perfect moment, the right time, or the ideal circumstances to take action -- just start!
Journal or notebook & pen, 2-3 magazines of any kind
All ages welcome
Some light brunch-y type items to feed our brains & warm our hearts!

Andrea blogs at www.TheCreativeImpostor.com and is launching a podcast by the same name, all about that little voice in your head that says "maybe you're not ready..." or "who are you to think you can do that?" or "what if you don't really have anything good enough, different enough, useful enough to say?" She is the founder and organizer of Sound Healing Chicago and the Chicago Women’s Creative Collective on Meetup.com. Most importantly, Andrea loves singing kirtan (musical meditation) as much as humanly possible.
