🌿 What Would You Do If You Were Inspired? Issue 171

💫 A Dose of Inspiration

Hello friends and family,

AYYYYEE we are into May! Month 5 of the year. Almost at the halfway mark. How are you feeling about it? …Stressed out, relaxed, vibing high, optimistic, or something else?

I hope this week’s DOI brings you beautiful inspiration for the month.

The theme of this week is “List of 3”

A simplified method for getting things done and making tiny progress each day. I know some days life is hard and you may feel stuck and no want to move. This week I had a great call for one of the inspiration labs.

We covered motivation and how to self-motivate yourself to get things done. She asked me how I do it since I seem to do a lot.

For me…everything is a system. If you want to do something break down the steps into a simple task list.

Oh and leave your emotions outside. This is the main point. You have emotions and most time they will stand in the way of you getting things done. You are either scared, overwhelmed, tired, or lazy. It’s good to allow space to feel and move through these emotions but also understand that they might not be the most helpful when doing a task. So I “leave it at the door”.

Have you seen the movie Inside Out? In a scene, they put a ring of salt around the sad emotion. Same theory here!

So non-helpful emotions outside, then make a list of what is needed to get it done and then break it down weekly into a list of 3.

3 simple tasks to move you forward each week. Add a deadline to it if you feel bold.

You have about 4000 weeks on Earth in a lifetime…if you are lucky.  

Your task this week:

  • Make your list of 3 and see if you can tick it off by the next Dose of Inspo.

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

🤙🏾 Inspiration Labs

Inspiration Labs is a 1-hour call where we dive into your project, career, life, or big dream. This free session is to gain clarity, dream bigger, and walk out with 1 action step to start moving forward. This is the value I am adding back to the world 💫

I will open new sessions weekly for this. To have this available to everyone, you are allowed 1 session only. (Sorry I wish, I had all the time in the world to only do this but I have to work too)

This is a bit of a longer video this week but a nice one for everyone who is thinking about starting a business. Two things that stood out for me. But find your own gems. This one is gold!

  • What do you love?

  • How can you make it into a business?

🎨 Artists Who Inspire

Saul Torbe

This week’s inspiration comes from a rabbit hole art adventure online, inspired by a dear artistic soul, Luisa. I saw her story about painting a mural and then found myself on this artist’s page a short while later. Saul Torbe is from Mexico and creates these great murals. Heavily influenced by culture, I am hooked.

Have you noticed any great murals around your neighborhood? What cultural influence stands out?

🎶 Song of the week

Saint Levant has become one of my favourite artists. From the trilingual songs to the message of a peaceful space in Gaza, I see this one as hope for many young kids from that region.

All that aside, he released a new song and I love it. Enjoy.

Also, do you know any other trilingual artists? I have a few but I am always looking for more. Hit reply and let me know.

Final thoughts:

Sometimes we need that one friend to remind us to get over ourselves and get out of our way!

“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.“
