What If All Those Creative Whispers Are Actually Your Soul Calling?
Visionary Writer, Give Yourself Permission to Write...
When was the last time you felt that gentle nudge to create something? And when was the last time you actually honoured it? I'm asking because I'm still figuring this out myself.
I've been living in a perpetual state of creative frustration. Ideas come to me—books I want to write, courses I dream of creating, journals and oracle decks I envision designing—yet I keep them all at arm's length. "One day," I tell myself. "When I have more time. When it makes financial sense. When I've finished all these important things first."
But we all know that "one day" never comes.
I'm only now beginning to realise: I'm the one blocking my own creative energy.
These ideas aren't just pleasant daydreams—they're part of my soul’s purpose, calling to be expressed. Yet I consistently prioritise other things—while relegating my creative impulses to some nebulous future.
This often leaves me feeling blocked, frustrated, and increasingly resentful of my own daily routine. Some of these creative projects have been with me for six years or more, waiting in the wings while I continually push them aside for "more important" matters.
I'm in the midst of a transformation that began gradually. I started giving myself permission to prioritise small creative acts when the impulse arises. Morning walks have become writing sessions as I dictate ideas into my phone. These brief bursts of creativity feel manageable—and surprisingly productive. I'm finding that editing these voice notes doesn't take as long as I expect, and I'm enjoying the regular flow of publishing them as posts. I'm even starting to see that these pieces might collectively form the foundation of another book.
The shift in momentum started by giving these small permissions to myself—tiny windows of time dedicated to creativity when inspiration strikes. As I continue this practice, something powerful is happening. The more I honour these creative impulses, the more frequently they arrive. It isn't always smooth sailing—there's plenty of push and pull, stepping forward and holding back—but gradually the foundational frequency of my life, my business, myself is beginning to shift.
During my Taurus New Moon journaling session, a quiet question whispered itself to me:
What if all those creative whispers were actually your Soul’s Calling?
I felt this question resonate deep within my body and soul. What it suggests to me feels profound: every time I hold back or postpone a creative impulse, I might actually be closing myself off from my own soul's calling. Every delayed project, every "I'll do it later," every time I make creating into something bigger and more intimidating than it needs to be—I wonder if I'm actually silencing my own soul.

This perspective is changing everything for me. Instead of seeing my creativity as a luxury or an indulgence, I'm beginning to recognise these impulses as a spiritual imperative—my soul's way of speaking to me. As I reframe my approach, I'm realising that creating doesn't have to be a big deal every time. It can be a post rather than a book. A short visual rather than long-form text. But each time I allow that creative energy to move through me, I feel like I'm taking another step closer to my higher self, my true identity.
What I’m learning is that when I stop weighing myself down with strategy and allow myself to create and share organically, new ideas emerge that feel far more aligned with my authentic direction than anything I could have planned.
The benefits seem to be expanding beyond my personal fulfilment. As I begin prioritising my own creativity with the same seriousness I bring to my client work, I notice my creative voice strengthening. I'm starting to move between fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and client work with newfound inspiration—because my own creative well is finally beginning to fill.
I recently listened to the audio version of Ray Bradbury's book Zen in the Art of Writing, where he shared his lifelong practice of writing 1,000 words per day. I've discovered I can dictate about that much in a 30-minute morning walk. These 1,000 daily words of draft material seem to be building my creative muscle as I establish more consistency. Bradbury's method was to write draft material and then rewrite it, maintaining that minimum of a thousand words a day. Through this practice, he created short stories, poems, novels, plays, essays, and more.
If you’ve been holding yourself back, too, what small steps could you take to break that cycle, shift the energy, and move your creative impulse forward?
It's not about making grand gestures or dramatic life changes. It's about small steps and consistent actions. It's about recognising those quiet creative whispers for what they might be: the voice of the soul calling us back home to ourselves.
Reflection:
What would shift in your world if you began treating those quiet creative urges not as distractions, but as sacred invitations?
