The Creative View: #fearoffailure

3/24/2015

0 Comments

 
If you've been following our short spots on YouTube, then you know that Ho'o Brown, Grace Howes, and I have been "hashing" out a new topic each week. This week we talked about the fear of failure (and thus the fear of success). Check out the conversation below and let us know what you are thinking about around success and failure. 

Here are some of the questions to ask yourself:
  1. In what ways are you sabotaging yourself? 
  2. Are you afraid to fail? 
  3. Are you afraid to succeed?

The Creative View: #MakeItHappen

3/17/2015

If you know one thing about me, it should be that I am an action taker. I'm a doer. I like to put my ideas into motion and see what happens. So today during this short segment, we are "hashing" out the idea of making it happen. 

Grace Howes, Ho'o Brown and I discuss what we do to make it all happen as busy women in 2015. Please join us and share your tips for making it happen. 
Here's how we #MakeItHappen:
  • journal daily (Kiala)
  • set clear boundaries (Kiala)
  • celebrate the small moments (Kiala)
  • know (Ho'o)
  • be (Ho'o)
  • do (Ho'o)
  • meditate/Reflect (Grace)
  • write (Grace)
  • start (Grace)
What do you do to #MakeItHappen?

The Creative View: #DearMe

3/12/2015

Sunday March 8th was International Women's Day. The un.org site says this about IWD...
International Women's Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.
There were a lot of people creating vlogs and using the #dearme hashtag to record what they would say to their younger selves. So of course Ho'o, Grace, and I had to share our spin on #dearme. Yes...we hashed it out. 

Check out the video -- leave a comment -- share a link to your video if you created one. 
Here's a recap of what the three of us had to say to our younger selves...
  • Beware of the conquerors. 
  • Fear is necessity. Embrace it, respect it, understand it, and learn from it because it will EMPOWER you. 
  • Creativity is NOT a luxury.
  • Trust your instincts.
  • It's okay to shine your light. 
  • Practice patience. 
  • Embrace the trials
  • Listen (especially to your elders) 
  • Trust yourself

The Creative View - Spring Renewal

3/3/2015

Yes and Yay!!! to the fact that Spring is right around the corner. At least I'm hoping that is the case. Today I had a lovely chat with my gal-pals: Ho'omalamalama Brown (The Creative Boost) and Grace Howes (Red Barn Studios) about what we each do to renew our creative spaces each spring. You can watch us here: 
So of course I am curious about what you do to renew each spring (or whenever you renew). I'm always looking for fun things to try. Make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channels so you can get lots of creative videos filled with tips and ideas for living a more creative life.

Be sure to grab the Moleskine notebooks I showed in pastel colors. They are adorable. And if you are interested in the charms or earrings -- Stella & Dot is an amazing company to support.
