Dear Friend,

Today we have a very useful question on the I Listen to Spirit Blog - this one really helped me a lot.

By the way, did you know that you can ask your own "Dear Guides" question? Go to the "Dear Guides" Journal page by clicking below on the square button, and scroll to the bottom for instructions.

Dear Guides,
How can we deal with performance anxiety when we are presenting ourselves or our work and being judged?


Click to the blog.

Here are two super-fabulous extra snippets for you that come from the longer "Dear Guides" Journal version of the blog, channeled by Minda Bernstein. This "Performance Anxiety" issue of the Journal is five pages long, with lots of good stuff. We hope you will subscribe! The Journal is an amazing weaving of loving truths every week, and if you choose the quarterly subscription it's just $2.67 per issue. Try it, you'll like it!



"In the minutes before your presentation, remember: who you are is big enough, great enough, ready enough, fresh enough. This is your chance to present that product of YOU at this moment. Allow yourself to shine, as you are. That is the most unique and precious gift you could possibly share with anyone or anything. ...

"Continue to explore the perfectness of this being that you present in this moment. Therein lies your greatest freedom and joy. There you are, smoothly in your moment, ever-expanding the limits of your vision, the new horizons simply appearing before you. There is nothing simpler and also nothing more powerful than this."



    Beautiful, beautiful.

    Speaking of beautiful...

    Woo-wee, did I ever have a great day in the studio yesterday! Here is my new painting, "The Jeweled Planet of Naboo."

    Naboo is from Star Wars, in case you missed it. This painting is 30"Hx34"W.

    The discipline of practicing my weekly I Listen to Spirit channeled paintings seems to be honing my ability to follow the fluttering Spirit butterfly in my "real" painting work, too!

    With love,
    Julie
