Life Purpose - How to Find Your Purposes in Life
The prevailing wisdom is that to be happy, fulfilled and successful, one must discover and pursue one's 'purpose' in life. There are no shortage of self-help books and programs designed to do just that. The problem, however, is that this is utter bunk. Especially for DaVincis -- multi-talented, creative people like you. You have more than one life purpose. Frankly, everyone has more than one purpose on this planet: We serve different purposes at different ages. We serve different purposes through our different talents.

How to Overcome Regrets, Disappointments & Mistakes
Are you being tormented by a regret, a missed opportunity, a perceived mistake, a disappointment, or past hurts? Maybe something awful was done to you or perhaps you did something horrible to someone else. By focusing on bad events in the past, you're only hurting yourself more. Feel that tightness in your neck and shoulders? Hear that nagging, negative voice in your head? Imagine the relief if that was gone. Imagine how much better you'd feel if you'd get over what happened and move on with your life. Here’s how: 1. Name it.

Structure Your Schedule - Be More Creative
For those living a creative life, the absence of an exte ally-imposed schedule is both a joy and a delight. How marvelous to know we have the entire day (or much of it) to frolic among our creative pursuits! Yet at the end of the week, should we survey our accomplishments, we may find them lacking. (“How could it be another month gone already?! I haven’t even drafted that chapter.”) While creative minds balk against restrictions of any kind, the truth is that some kind of structure or routine gives us the framework within which to be much more creative.

Effective Affirmations - Active is Better
Positive affirmations are still around as a self-improvement tool because they are helpful for many people. If they didn’t work, they’d be long-gone relics of the 1980’s alongside legwarmers, shoulder pads & the musical stylings of Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The problem for creative people, however, is that we get bored very easily and so affirmations lose their effectiveness in short order.

Organizational Products for Creative People
A confession: I'm an organization nerd. Call me crazy but I enjoy being able to find what I need when I need it -- be it a particular tool, invoice, ingredient or garment. It feels good to have my 'to do' lists prioritized, to know that the important things are not falling through the cracks. A well organized drawer gives me tingles. Given my tendency to be a neatnik, I adore organizational products of all description. Anything that helps capture ideas or manage tasks or impose some order on a project is a beautiful thing, in my book.

Get Organized - Creative Projects, Practices and Habits
Imagine this: you're staring at piles of items, to do lists, calendar notations and scattered supplies. Meanwhile, random reminders cross your mind -- things like, "I really should practice my tuba today", "When was the last time I submitted my reel to anyone?" and/or "I promised myself I'd start walking more." When you are juggling several talents, it’s easy to find yourself in the midst of cranial chaos. You've got to get organized to get things done.

What's Your Learning Style? | Adult Learning Styles Part 2
To develop and hone your talents, it's helpful to understand your learning style, the topic of Part 1 of this article. A second component to understanding how you like to learn involves recognizing your preferred learning experiences. For example, how much structure do you like in your lessons? Why bother? Because when you recognize and understand your preferences, you can adapt when you are put in different circumstances.

How to get started
Other highlights
Are you a creative person?
Do you feel stuck or scattered or dissatisfied?
Are you grappling with creative challenges? Maybe you're having difficulty getting started...or finding focus...or maintaining momentum...or finishing something.
Whether you are a fledgling artist yearning to develop your creativity, a hobbyist juggling different passions or a professional artist seeking career direction, I can help.
I've coached individuals, facilitated groups, and delivered inventive workshops on four continents. I've helped people get organized, get focused and channel their creative energies effectively. I've coached people through particular projects like writing a book, getting an agent and planning a CD launch.
Besides having a Ph.D. in Psychology, I've personally experienced the delights and challenges of the creative process in many media. (I’m an internationally published writer/editor/photographer, a royalty-ea ing lyricist, and author of a dozen self-help books. My other artistic pursuits include work in metal, glass, clay, textiles, paper and more).
These experiences give me practical insights to help creative people overcome challenges, get organized, get things done and get more out of life.
