Do You Prefer Consuming or Creating?
July 15, 2010 by Karen Fagan ·
Last week I had clients tell me they are tired … tired of consuming the “next best thing” and tired of not getting ahead in their life and business. They told me they have purchased enough self-help books, programs and products for healing and growing their business. They have received tons of inspiration and motivation, but are completely bummed they haven’t gotten farther along.
Here is my guidance (from one Bold Woman to another): It is time to STOP CONSUMING and START CREATING.
It is time to stop consuming the next best thing and get creating the next best thing!
Your soul will thank you. You will feel freedom and true joy.
Your heart truly craves some bold-ass creation. When you’ve realized you have consumed way too much information but are still spinning your wheels it means only one thing: it is time to take BOLD action and CREATE.
You already have everything within that you need to take action. Are you ready to see this for yourself?
You have a choice to doubt or believe in yourself. What I know for sure is that doubting is painful and believing is hopeful and inspirational.
My sense is that you’re going with the option to be confident in your brilliant self. You see, there is no way to know if what we create will work, but the alternative is to doubt and not take action, thereby fully guaranteeing it will never work. I know this isn’t what you want for yourself. You’re a brilliant, bold woman who knows there is more inside of YOU waiting to come out.
Are you willing to go on a hiatus of consuming? My daughter has committed to doing this and I can already see a change. She has decided that for the next two months, there will be no more Forever 21 (a clothing store teen girls go nuts for). Instead she is taking time to sit by the gardens and paint; her confidence has flourished by doing so. I love her smile when she shows me what she has created … it is light, love and joy! And, the best part is that it feels so good to her.
Now it’s your turn. It’s time to start CREATING.
- Clear your schedule and create.
- Go outside to your favorite place and create.
- Honor your brilliance and create.
- Create. No excuses.
- Believe.
- Talk about the last truly awesome thing you created.
- Breathe and listen to your soul. Let it guide you.
- Close your eyes and imagine all that you are capable of creating. What do you see?
- What does it taste, feel, sound, smell like when you are creating? Imagine it then do it.

This is fantastic insight! So often as women we are in a supporting role, cheering on others as they create. Creating our own invention- piece of art, whatever, can be quite liberating. It feels good to create. It also doesn’t matter what others think. Do it for your own pleasure.
Hi Krista,
Thanks so much!
It always feels great to create and connect to one’s uniqueness! When we fill our souls up with creative richness we have so much more to give!
