3 Keys to Conscious Collaborative Creation
Combine wisdom, compassion and gratitude to create a wonderful life.
Live Your Best IMAGE
Once your mindset is shifted toward mutuality with the intention of all winning and your connections are loving, nurturing and energetic, you can more easily step into actively expressing your best self. Three keys will help you align your actions to create harmonious relationships by projecting your best IMAGE.
Here are 3 keys to creating your harmonious relationships:
Conscious
Collaborative
Creation
Empowering your relationships requires wisdom, compassion and gratitude. Use them to consciously and collaboratively create your wonderful life.
Conscious
Expanding your consciousness requires stepping outside of your comfort zone. You have no doubt settled into some routines to make life easier. Every time you reach a big transition in your life, you are pushed outside your comfort zone, and you respond by adapting to the new situation with new routines. Humans naturally want to shift back to a state of equilibrium. If you’re dissatisfied with your life as it is, then you must expand your consciousness to transition into the more expansive life you want. You will intentionally push yourself outside of your comfort zone and establish new routines to support your expansive life.
Wisdom in the Field of Oneness
Expanding your consciousness starts with wisdom in the field of Oneness. Wisdom is understanding tempered by love. It’s not enough to know about something; you must also understand how it affects everyone. Then you use love to wisely decide your course of action. Remember to start with your own vision and values, then consider how your actions will impact others and your environment. Consciously choose your wisest course of action in all areas of your life.
Confidence and Courage
Consciousness requires you to confidently and courageously step onto your green growing edge of your expansive life. What would the “you” in your vision do in each situation? Remind yourself that you are the “you” in your vision, then confidently and courageously take action. When you align your actions for your own good and the good of all, taking action feels good and natural, which builds more confidence and boosts your courage. Your motivation will naturally come from the results you’ll receive by achieving your vision.
Raise Consciousness Together
You are not expected to do everything by yourself. You are interdependent with others and all LIFE, which will be elaborated in the next section. Your consciousness also influences others and is influenced by others. So intentionally raise your own and the collective consciousness by positively influencing others and resisting negative influence. Intentionally join with other positive influencers.
Collaborative
Remember your interdependence with others in all areas of your life, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly. Consider all the things that others provide for you and the things you provide for others. Now consider all the things that require you to work with others to produce them.
When you work with others, you choose to work competitively, cooperatively or collaboratively. Competition results in winners and losers and less produced. Cooperation usually results in some win/win, but often with compromises. Collaboration uses the best attributes of all participants to produce the best result possible, and often a win/win for all.
Compassionate Collaboration
You step into collaborations best when you have compassion for yourself and others. Compassion increases the positive energy, which allows for more creativity from all participants. Consider everybody’s needs and desires. Assume that nobody is more or less important to the whole. Sometimes the quietest people have the best ideas. Be sure to get everyone’s input without discounting any ideas initially. Once all the ideas are presented, then play with what works and doesn’t work in various combinations. Be creative in your approach and synergize the best parts of all the ideas.
Invite Diversity of Individual Strengths
Collaborations are powerful when you invite a diversity of individual strengths and talents, which enables you to create exponentially more by synergizing your various talents. Synergized collaborations create more than the sum of the individual parts. A mastermind is a great example of this. The participants have individual projects or parts of a cohesive project, and when they collaborate, they get the benefit of all the other participants vast knowledge and experience to propel each individual’s work.
Give AND Receive
Practice the flow of giving and receiving until it feels natural. Reciprocity in relationships may sometimes appear unbalanced. You get to decide whether a relationship is acceptable or not. If you feel resentful in a lack of reciprocity, you need to determine the underlying cause and if you need to adjust your own thoughts or underlying beliefs. Although you may not receive the same monetary value you give to another, you often receive a rewarding feeling of equal value to your gift.
Lack of reciprocity is often due to you not accepting what is offered to you. “Oh no thank you, you shouldn’t have…” Remember that when someone is offering you a gift, your refusal will likely feel bad for them. You are giving them the gift of a rewarding feeling if you graciously receive their gift. Again the goal is to practice giving AND receiving until it feels natural and doesn’t require a lot of thought.
Creation
Create your wonderful life experience by aligning your actions with your vision and values as you consciously collaborate with others.
Authentic New Story
Creating your best life experience begins with living authentically from your new story of your vision.
Gratitude in Flow
Creating a wonderful life is waking up in the state of gratitude for all your life’s abundance. Just as you can’t get heat from a stove without first giving it fuel, you can’t receive your abundance without being generous with your resources.
Joyful Action Aligned with Values
Consciously choose to make the best use of your resources for the good of all, such as choosing to support local and organic stores or volunteering at animal rescues, whatever resonates with you and your values. Creating your best life experience is to live each day joyfully in alignment with your vision and values.
Conscious collaborative creation empowers your relationships with yourself, others and all LIFE by expressing your best IMAGE.
