Creativity Unleashed

You don’t have to be born a genius, a gifted person, in order to be creative, but you do have to develop your own creative genius. The key to creativity is action. A person who thinks of innovative, exciting ideas, and then doesn’t act on them, is an imaginative person, but not a creative person. The act of creation brings something into being. Creativity and genius are the product of thousands of hours of action — practice, study, training. And the amount of encouragement, motivation, and opportunity you receive influences your creativity and your product… To see more of this post, visit http://martimacgibbon.com/

 

 

Never Give Up: Another Aspect of Mindful Badassitude

Relentlessness. Tenacity. Doggedness. All are aspects of mindful badassitude — a throwdown, no-holds-barred pursuit of happiness, success, and fulfillment of goals and dreams. Some days, life caresses like a tropical breeze, ruffling my hair and soothing my skin as I make snap decisions, pleasant phone calls, and delight in unexpected opportunities. Other days, life dishes out tough love, battering me like a typhoon, tossing my self-assurance on the rough seas of opposition, rejection, and self-doubt. Still, I’m never swept off the deck when I’ve got my sea legs — my relentless pursuit of my goals and dreams, my badassitude! To see more of this post, visit http://martimacgibbon.com/

Action: When It Takes a Badass to Stay the Course, Be a Badass!

I’m visualizing a badass, successful day today, full of hope, beauty, laughs, and prosperity. Visualization opens doors, but action walks me through those doors and into the room. I believe in the power of affirmation, positive self-talk, and visualization to achieve my goals, and I have seen dramatic results in my life. But none of those processes can deliver without a solid action plan in the moment. To see more of this post, visit http://martimacgibbon.com/

Bruce Lee: Hands, Feet, and Badassitude

Bruce Lee was — and is — more than a martial artist. He is a cultural icon. He smashed through negative stereotypes, endured extreme physical injury, emotional stress, and major setbacks to emerge triumphant, a renowned martial arts champion. He authored his own unique martial arts form. This kickass gladiator was born with a sickly, weak body, but he didn’t recognize limitations. Lee honed his small body into a large, formidable weapon.

Life’s Beautiful Badassitude: Power to Choose Laughter, Fun, and Enthusiasm

Life is challenging but so very beautiful. When you wake up to the reality of life, accepting the fact that you have the power to choose how you think, feel, and act.

Gratitude, love, courage, and a sense of humor all contribute to badass, kickass personal transformation. Each new day offers opportunities to grow, learn, heal, recover, and share experience, strength and hope with others. To see more of this post, please visit http://martimacgibbon.com/

Access Your Inner Peace and Serenity

Peace of mind and serenity can be found in the present moment. It’s simple to engage in the mindfulness process, even though it may not be easy at first. Refrain from making it more complicated or challenging than it needs to be.

Start out with a small bit of time. For instance, promise yourself you can practice mindfulness meditation for one minute today. You’ll be amazed at how much you benefit from 60 seconds of silence within.

Accessing your inner peace through  mindfulness brings hope, and the assurance of a future which holds possibilities for you. As you practice mindfulness, the process introduces you to yourself, your real priorities and focus, and as you continue daily mindfulness exercises your life gains new meaning and purpose.

When you practice mindfulness, you check in to your body, that is, allow yourself to exist only in the present moment — the now — for a given period of time…To see more of this post, please visit http://martimacgibbon.com/

What Stories Are You Telling Yourself?

Never give in, never hold back. Whatever you aspire to, whatever you think you can do, jump in and do it. Wishing, hoping, and talking about it won’t get you there unless you are taking action. Even the seemingly tiniest steps forward are power in practice. My own personal kickass transformation dictionary defines “badassitude” as confidence and boldness in action, with a sense of humor. Go ahead — engage a program of action, and get into your badassitude.

Life is made up of stories. Every individual has a unique story to tell. And whether you realize it or not, you tell yourself stories within stories, each day of your life…For more of this post, please visit: http://martimacgibbon.com
