Are you ready to Unmask Your Potential? 🎭

Hello, I'm Dr. De Vida Gill. I welcome you to the MV Creatives Academy - the Backstage education and training platform focusing on self-awareness and personal development. It offers private and group coaching, courses, information, resources, and more. I am so excited you dropped by. It is not by accident that our paths crossed, nor why I created this Academy for "creative thinkers" and "thought leaders" to unmask their potential and embrace their authenticity.

Think about a time or place when negative self-talk crept in, self-doubt lingered, anxiety appeared, or overwhelm passed through. If you are like me, too many times to count. Although "normal," we feel many emotions throughout life, especially during life transitions and character-building days.

This is why the Academy was developed as an online creative catalyst to take you backstage, behind closed doors, away from social media, and beyond the spotlight so that you can focus on self-awareness, personal growth, time management, and well-being. The Academy integrates the arts, mental health, and education, empowering you to challenge your thoughts, unmask your potential, embrace your authenticity, and become the Author and CEO of your life.

Unplugging Is Not Selfish

05/23/2023

Just like a computer, it's important to power down to rest. When you intentionally power down, it removes you from your responsibilities, projects, and the to-do lists of daily life. Think of it as your time to hibernate, sleep, slow down, and disconnect from the worries of your mind. Without creating and consciously initiating time in your schedule to unplug, you jeopardize your mental and physical energy, influencing the clarity in which you do, think, and take action. Use this time to reflect.

Reflection is the process of assessing your life from a different lens. It will help you identify what works and does not work and critically analyze how you think, respond, and react to situations. It allows you to evaluate your thoughts and behaviors, strengths and shortcomings, inspiration and motivation, desires, dreams, and goals. Looking at the world around you, ask yourself this question.

How do I show up for myself and others?
What is working and not working?
What have I learned about myself through my challenges?
What are things I need to improve upon about myself?
Is there a more efficient way of reaching my goals and dreams?
How much time am I spending on self-care?

Sometimes, it's important to get out of your own way. And unplugging technology, people, stressful spaces, and places to seek clarity provides a new perspective of understanding yourself and how you see the world around you. Make the time to intentionally unplug, at least quarterly, for a specific period. Unplugging is not selfish, and neither is self-care. Schedule a backstage chat with me to learn more about reflection and how to unplug.
