Lost your muse?

For the first time ever I lost my muse.  Prose?  Words?  Writers block?

Never did I understand this previously.

I mean, I have all these books over on amazon. 

When I heard of writers 'finding' writers block I would frown with a big cartoon question mark above my head.  How can this be?  I would wonder.

Yet, now I have found myself with the same question mark for a different reason.

Been struggling.  
Is this you too?  Can you relate?

Over the summer break from university I have been cramming in way too much work in the way of 

* Home improvements
* Educational courses
* Working on my online business
* Giving the children a great summer 
* Getting my health on track

It's just too much.  Who could focus on more than one of these at a time?

Yet I'm super thrilled to see my blog going from strength the strength.  I love it!!! It's where I desire to be in the future.  So I must get past this block.  I've a few ideas.  Here comes the reason I'm struggling.

One of the educational courses I am taking is a blogger course.  Now, IT is Brilliant (yes that capital B is supposed to be there!).  Yet it's pretty tough too.  Showing me how to turn this passion into my business.  
(If you don't know, I have some health issues which means blogging suits my future perfectly and allows me to continue to work.)
Most of what I write is rather rambly about life stuff and how to change life for the better.

I'm passionate about this.  My 'about' page on this blog is soon set to change.  I want to tell you guys my reason WHY I started my business A Lusher Life and why I am super charged to help those I can reach.  This must mean that on occasions I will be writing posts that may not have an affiliate link in them or are simply purely for the sake of brain dumping.  That's just how I roll.  It's what feels right to me.  Build it and they will come.

Meanwhile, this blog will have slight changes made to it over time and you can see changes for the better.  To make 'stuff' tidy and neat.  Yet it will still be all me.  Just heading in a direction to create a sustainable business for me and my family.  In my next post I will share with you why I feel being a mum to teenagers is likely harder than raising babies.

Until then, if you are a blogger keen to begin using your passion as more than a hobby blogger, I would recommend looking at the course I am on.  The lady who is the owner of the business knows so so much.  From starting on pintrest, to monitizing your blog. See her website here . 

Back to A Lusher Life.  There really are so many amazing opportunities for simply everyone these days.  I have seen people create blogs who disregard the SPAG they teach in school (spelling, punctuation and grammar) who have a great following.  What's stopping you from giving this a go?  Let me know if it is something you would like to hear more about and I will let you know how you can make your dream a reality.  This blog is all still about that.  Especially if you have limiting beliefs.  More on that another time.  

Meanwhile, a picture of my coffee.  

Ok....

You got me....

This is not my coffee I sit with today as today is just about me grabbing an hour to myself to connect with my beloved blog and find my voice once again.  I adore writing.  I just feel I have listened too much to those inner voices who say "Write about something of value, something you know about, like science..." and yes, there is a place for science EVERYWHERE, including this blog (the science of the law of attraction) as well as my other blogs.  Yet I want to simply tell you, right here, right now, that you are more than amazing.  Have some belief that you can do all the things you want to do!

Much love

PS did you know I'm vlogging every day in august for #VEDA?  See the videos here. 

I'm changing things with blogging - you can too!

Do you want to change things with blogging?

I've already wished you all a happy new year.  But how is your 2016 going so far?  Do you have a feeling this year will be all you wished for?

If not, why not?



Likelihood is,  you aren't taking the action steps needed to get into the flow and create the belief that you need and want to make your 'dreams come true.'

You know me.  For years now I have been learning little nuggets of information:
* Being blown away with the information

* Deciding to store that knowledge away in my headspace

* Share it here with you guys

* Little by little allowing it to change my beliefs.

The Law of Attraction is a funny ol' thing.  It's almost like a staircase.  You go up the first step and then onto the next.  The book "The Secret" may have you believing you just 'jump' straight to the top.  Yet I know through experience that it definitely is a journey.  And this is the great part!

Initial euphoria of thinking 'wow I can do anything' has settled down (taking a few years though) and now I am left with the true inner peace and knowing that all I have learnt these past few years have brought me to this place of finally believing.

Suddenly I can see people all around me doing what I would love to be doing as my living.  People who are making a difference and making a living doing it.  You've heard this so many times through loads of 'woo woo' stuff and even subscribed to the newsletters.  Yes, me too.  This is definitely not a criticism.

Yet the 'click' or the Aha moment as Oprah calls it has happened for me very recently.

How? What happened?

I found a group of like minded people quite by accident and I listened to what they were speaking about.  They had a mentor who was talking basic lingo.  Giving them practical steps to take.  Leading them to a place that with hard work and dedication they could too make their living making a difference.
No mention of meditation or visualisation (I DO still believe in all that, totally).  This was refreshing.

I naturally visualise and meditate every day now.  Perhaps we have to learn that first before we can take action on those steps.  Now, don't get me wrong, I thought I was taking action.  But it wasn't with that determined 'knowing' that Tony Robbins speaks of.

So what changed?  I joined a FREE Facebook group full of like minded people who were showing me what they were doing.  None of them bragged, or talked figures, yet I could tell by the interest they were getting in their blogs that they were where I want to be in three years time.
From there, I learnt lots.  Then I decided to invest in myself.
Already, I have learnt so much more about Keywords, driving traffic, using social media (and I thought I already knew a lot).  I'd realised that now is the time to make this investment in myself and my future business.

Skyrocketing at a speed I could never have achieved without this new knowledge, I'm thrilled and excited for the future.

Why do I want this?  Please subscribe to my blog to find out my story next time and why I HAVE to make it work.  Without question.

Wishing you much love as you head into your dream year of 2016.

Louise xoxo
