Takeaways and Nuggets:
Living a Creative Life:

Creativity isn't just about art—it's about seeing and
embracing opportunities in everyday moments.

The magic lies in the spaces between—the leaping and the
landing, the pause before the next word, or the moment of
stillness in our busy lives.

Embracing the Journey:

The journey itself holds value. As Lisa says, "The journey is
the thing." Growth and possibilities live in the process, not
just in the destination.

The Power of Mindset Shifts:

Language matters. Replacing “I have to” with “I get to” can
reframe even mundane or challenging tasks, transforming
obligation into gratitude.

The Importance of a Self-Care Menu:

Create a flexible "menu" of self-care practices. Choose one
daily, not just when stressed, to build a resilient foundation
for life’s challenges.

Exploring Energetic Choices:

Lisa introduces a powerful framework of energetic
choices: 


I can’t I have to I should I could I want to I
get to.



Progressing through these choices empowers us to live with
intention and gratitude.

Unscripted Creativity:

True artistry emerges when we step beyond technique and allow
space for natural expression and intuition.
