🌿 What would you do if you were inspired? Issue 143

💫 A Dose of Inspiration

Hello friends and family,

A big thank you for sticking around while I had my break offline. It was needed and I feel refreshed! Hope your weeks were good and that life had some magic for you.

The theme of this week is “scam”

I use the word scam a lot lately, it feels like a layer of the world has been peeled back and all I see is the absurdity of these systems that make the world work.

I recently did 2 retreats, back to back and got the chance to live a different schedule of life. Meal times were sacred and a time when you really focused on eating and being present with the food.

It felt like for the first time I was really tasting my food. I did not have a screen in front of me and I was not working behind a laptop, which can be my usual lunchtime status.

Now this may seem like a very productive way to save time but …save time for what? Life is a daily experience and you never know when it’s done.

Meal times should be calm, give your body and mind and break to enjoy the food that you are having. Anyway…the point is once I started seeing this as a scam…I understood that I could change this.

Your task this week:

  • Take a look at your daily routine and see what scams you have bought into.

  • Life is short…make sure you are in control.

Remember each week, we are just moving one tiny step forward to creating a life you love. 

I am a huge fan of writing through your thoughts, ideas and opinions. Your mind will trick you into believing you are right in certain situations and having an overview can make you understand your thinking patterns.

All of these things can be learnt. The older you get, the more stuck you get in your own ways of living, thinking and being. I hope you take the time out often to recreate your life and objectively see if your current way of living works for you.

Artists Who Inspire

Neka King

This was one of my favourite finds, Neka King is an artist and muralist. She is one of Google’s chosen artists for their Chrome background series.

I love how colourful and vibrant her art is. This is a brilliant partnership by Google because it triggers me to check my home feed often to see the updated artwork. Also introduces a new artist into my life 😊 and that’s always a win.

Song of the week

You know this is a whole treat! The band, the backup singers and his voice. Take the time and enjoy this tiny desk concert.

Final thoughts:

A lot can change if you want it to. Your sleep can improve, your health can get better, and your mood and attitude have a lot to do with this. In order for anything to change and get better…your mindset needs to be in the best state possible. This is the starting point for everything. Understand how it works, learn how to change it and be open to changing your mind about things.

“It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.”
