The
Consumption Cleanse
8 Day Workshop
January 4th, 2022
When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.
And that is the essence of wisdom—to be in harmony with nature, with the natural rhythm of the universe. And whenever you are in harmony with the natural rhythm of the universe, you are a poet, you are a painter, you are a musician, you are a dancer.”
― Osho
The
Consumption Cleanse
Challenge
Are you a CONSUMER or a CREATOR?
Why Creativity?
You can not be a creator and a consumer at the same time. It’s not physically possible.
And yet, your ability to tap into your creativity is what leads to genuine happiness and fulfillment, which is what we all desire in our lives.
Creation is tied to connection. Connection to self allows you to make meaning out of the meaningless. To find purpose in chaos. To find your natural rhythm and harmony.
Creation is your contribution, which is one of the human needs. It’s the thing that connects you to others, as you have something to give to this world.
Creation is what allows you to receive - receive love, receive money - because you are contributing something of value.
Creation leads to genuine fulfillment.
Remember, creativity, doesn’t mean you have to be a painter or writer. It means you get to create whatever you feel pulled to create. You get to make your life a work of art.
For some of you that may be creating a tech business, for others, beautiful moments and meals for your family or maybe creating courses where you teach from personal experience.
Yes, some of you will become writers, poets, dancers and musicians.
However, creativity has more to do with allowing your life to be something you are creating instead of something that is happening to you. It means allowing life to move through you instead of muscling your way through it. Your life gets to be in alignment with your authentic truth and your genuine desires.
In so doing, you are a creator.
The Consumption Cleanse
Just like anything, sometimes you need a kick start. Sometimes you have to swing from one end of the spectrum to the other to come back and meet your balance.
You may be wondering, “from what side to what side will I be swinging?”
From toxic CONSUMER to CREATOR is what…
“And how exactly will I be doing that?”
THE CONSUMPTION CLEANSE CHALLENGE is how.
What is it?
It’s my new fool proof way, to get you out of consumption and into creation.
I know you might ask, “What the hell does consumption have to do with creation, contribution, finding my passions and feeling fulfilled?”
Like I mentioned above, we are either consuming or creating and since this time of year seems to be a time of consumption, come Jan. 1, you’ll be ready for this cleanse….
I’ll start by saying over-consumption is a sign that you are filling a void or a hole in your life. Hoping something outside of yourself will complete what you feel is missing.
Sometimes you consume to feel more, to feel less, or not feel at all.
I don’t know about you, but for me, my life in my 20s was all about consuming - consuming clothes, bags, Botox, spray tans, bleach (for my fried blonde hair) food, alcohol, events, work, workouts, & travel.
Whatever I could get my hands on to fill the void of “not enough-ness” inside of me.
Then there are constant messages form society and marketers explaining that if I feel like shit, their product or pill will fix it.
So over consumption became a theme.
I feel ugly - those clothes, that Botox, makeup, or spray tan - that’ll do it.
I feel fat - that diet, cleanse, workout, and pills - those will do it.
I feel sad - that booze, event, bag, or trip - that’ll do it.
I feel empty - that relationship (usually toxic), that job (typically unfulfilling), money (fleeting), and all of the above - that’ll do it.
Can you relate?
Here is the caveat, when we are over-consuming, hoping, consciously or unconsciously, that something outside of ourselves will make us feel better, the external stuff will never be enough because the hole can’t be filled externally, it’s an internal process of feeling whole, connecting to yourself, and finding your creativity.
Toxic consumption is the antithesis of creation, which is where life exists.
Don’t get me wrong, we need consumption. It's part of the circle of life. If we don’t have people consuming our creations or we don’t consume other’s creations, we can’t complete the cycle of giving and receiving.
However, it’s in aligned consumption that we create harmony, balance and joy.
Aligned consumption comes from ridding ourselves of our limiting programming and understanding that we are the creator of our reality. That nothing comes from the outside world, it comes from our inside world.
Aligned consumption alongside connection to our creativity is what leads to genuine happiness and fulfillment.
