How to shift your thoughts and overcome fear – Creative Short Series

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text!

Are you living a humdrum life? Whether you realize it or not, you might be paralyzed into a state of complete inaction – by your own mind. In this episode, I'll teach you a quick brain shifter that will snap you out of your usual routine and help you identify and overcome the fear that is holding you in place. (This is happening in more ways than you might currently see.)
What I teach in this episode sounds so silly and simple, and that's exactly why it can be difficult to convince ourselves to do it. However, I'd like to ask your cynic to step aside today and give this a try.
Because one of the best ways to tap into our creative goodness is to shift your brain out of the humdrum state it's in and activate some new neural pathways.
And the best way for you to build courage, increase your opportunities for connection and collaboration, and even to be a better leader or entrepreneur is to allow yourself to share imperfect things. This activity will do both of these things in a super safe, easy, and powerful way.
Here are the instructions:

1. Think of something a Kindergartener could draw
2. Draw that thing, using your non-dominant hand
3. Take a photo of it and share it on social media
