Willingness
Each of the nine colors in the Life Artist Palette (see the color legend below) is a context for living a fully expressed life. As you acquire the capacity to utilize these contexts, you awaken your Whole IQ—your Spirit, Heart, Mind and Body intelligences.
Willingness is one of the primary colors (along with Courage and Curiosity) of becoming a Life Artist.
Willingness is associated with Spirit intelligence. It supports you to shift the energy patterns that govern your life choices. If you find yourself stuck around a circumstance in your life; feeling consumed by a thought or emotion; or experiencing a high amount of anxiety, your energy is most likely trapped and compressed by tension.
In this state, you are caught in a reactive lifecycle, spinning in conflict around how to figure something out. We often believe the solution to this type of conflict lives in our Minds, and yet the truth is that the solution always starts with the Willingness to discover the energy that most inspires us, or that’s simply true in the moment.
When we become aware of the energy we most want to occupy, our awareness turns toward being creative rather than reactive. Through Willingness we give ourselves an energetic fuel that moves us back into relationship with our true desires.
Take a moment to notice where you might be energetically conflicted and use Willingness to bring yourself back into energetic alignment. It may be a Willingness to relax, or Willingness to feel a strong emotion. Notice what happens in your Spirit when you are willing to be true to yourself and what you want to create in your life.
