**NOTE: This is a guest post from my dear friend Petrea Hansen-Adamidis.

One of my biggest blocks to my creativity being unleashed has been the excuse of not enough time. I use to say to myself that I didn't have any time to do art for myself, I was too busy. Whether it was the kids, feeling tired after work, feeling like I had so many other "more important" things to do, there never seemed to be enough time. These "things" were all just my Fear dressed up as excuses.

When it comes right down to it, there is always time. It's just what we choose to do with it. If you tell yourself there is not enough time then guess what?  There won't be.

My Fear constructed ways for me to avoid doing my art. My Fear was based on years of feeling like my art had to live up to some preconceived standard. Imagine that: an Art Therapist avoiding painting, ludicrous!  While I still did do art, it was just on a smaller scale: art journaling, photography, making things with my kids. Yet inside I longed to paint, paint big and bold.

Co-create with your Inner Essence & Guides:  The best way I have discovered and connected with my inner essence is through meditation. I have been meditating since about 1999, 2000. This practice has done more for me than I could ever explain in words.

And now recently, in the past few years, I have connected and discovered more about my inner guides, spirit guides and totem animals.
(My totem animal discovery is quite the story.....I'll have to write about it one day).

These guides have been quite the allies in my life. They are always there for you to call upon and ask for help. They are actually part of my team, not just in Life, but in my business too.

Some of you may think this is a bit 'out there', and I would have thought the same thing before I had that animal totem experience - that experience really opened my eyes to the spirit guide world. From there I stayed opened to other experiences and to what others had to say. And through meditation and discovering and feeling more about who I am, that world opened up more and more.

Now some of my meditations are meetings with my guides. When I'm stuck and need help in a certain area, they are there to give insights - it truly is quite amazing.

So my tip for you today is to be open to discovering more about your inner essence, which in turn will keep you open to discovering more about your inner guides.

When you think about it, we use the term, 'inner critic', to name that voice within that likes to beat us up. And the inner critic is a real part of us that tries really hard to get our attention. And even though we think it's there to beat us up, it really is more like a Loyal Soldier, trying to protect us from getting hurt.

So think about your inner guide or higher Self as another part of you that wants to get your attention too. And this part of you wants to get your attention to help you be the best YOU that you can be. So it really is worth the effort, in my experience, to get more in touch with your inner essence or higher Self, and to get to know that part of you that truly wants the best for you and is here to help you reach your fullest potential.
