My Word of the Year: Relentless
💥My word for this year is RELENTLESS
Yes, I totally feel the heaviness & the burden & misery of that word.
The constant, never ending NEED & BEATING DOWN of it
Cos that was what I was feeling at the beginning of the year!
The not seeing what I wanted. It was so far away
The STILL STRIVING AND STRETCHING of it all
The lack of sleep thanks to a new born.
The constant attention needed as a new mama of 2!
The never-ending laundry!
But I also knew… I was feeling this resonance to this word because I will use it
I will use it as the core and heart of my striving and stretching
I will use it as an anchor
It’s called relentless for now, this work towards my goals. The building of a creative brand and business. The building of my dream life weaving my soul work with my mamahood soul work and living my calling & blessed life.
The relentlessly showing up — to the easel, to the socials, to the laptop typing my heart
The relentlessly offering my art — my paintings, my courses, my musings and expertise and experiences. Articulating it into words or colour
The relentlessly dusting myself off — from the crickets, from the rejection, from the failures to close the GAP
The relentlessly weaving of biz and baby — the forgiveness when I fail, the kindness when I fall, the compassion & gratitude that I have these kids in my life who push me further and pull me from going too far.
It’s called relentless for now, until it’s part of my DNA and habits and identity and then it becomes flow.
It becomes life
🎨Like my painting🎨
I had to be relentless in showing up.
I had to be relentless in wiping away tears at the ugly shit that I was painting and the flat hollow shit and the who the f*ck made this shit that hurts my eyes.
Relentless in my pursuit until the Muse WAS my b*tch but also showing her that I was hers and now?
Painting is my flow place.
It’s still a b*tch sometimes but good friends and deep relationships needs a touch of drama to raise it up a level.
*creative life shrug*
My goal is to make that heavy feeling of relentlessness into the anchor from which I can rise up & still be connected to this world
Steven Pressfield’s new book “The Artist’s Journey” talks about how an artist's journey is about venturing from this realm into the divine ‘other’ realm.
And then find our way back with the gifts from divine to humanity.
That's how I feel sometimes, with the masterpieces I see before me. I have no idea where it came from & always takes a second to remember that it came from me!?!
Relentless (for now) is my anchor back home.
My anchor to keep going.
My anchor to regather my strength.
I wonder, what will my word be that will be added to my tool belt of anchors for next year?
What is your anchor?
Emoji me below the feeling you want for next year & even your word of the year if you have found it already!
