ABSTRACT

N.A.I.L. Freedom is a dynamic self-regulation tool crafted to help creatives step into the space between stimulus and response, a space where they have enough freedom to do the next right thing. This four-step alignment process is also an invaluable self-care tool, as it makes room to process accompanying feelings, for instance, by releasing difficult feelings and enhancing positive ones. The coach can read the following script out loud or clients can read and/or record it for themselves, to be played back and paused as needed. Clients ask and answer the questions, following through by writing down any ideas, impressions, and insights that arise. Robert, a visual artist, loved being part of a multidisciplinary team at a meditation center, where several times annually, he got to run workshops similar to his own, highly popular offerings back home.
