🌿 What Would You Do If You Were Inspired? Issue 172

šŸ’« A Dose of Inspiration

Hello friends and family,

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms around the world who are celebrating. I hope you had the day you needed, felt loved and appreciated, and truly took a moment for yourself!

The theme of this week is ā€œpeaceful mindā€

This Saturday was day 1 of a new chapter for me. This is the end of a very long dream spoken into reality and also the first day of a long road ahead. On Saturday I woke up and for first time this year I did not want to grab my laptop and plan the next move, book something or organized anything. I just wanted to be.

Sitting around this weekend I realized that for a rare moment, I have a peaceful mind.

What does your peaceful mind moment look like?

Now this is not throwing away the state of the world and current issues. It’s carving out a definition of your peaceful state where you can just be, no planning the next thing to do, or thinking about all the people you need to contact, tasks on your list and life things.

A moment to just be….with a calm and peaceful mind.

(Ideally this is a daily practice with meditation…I am not there yet)

Your task this week:

  • Take a moment to think about what this peaceful mind state looks and feels like. Maybe this will give you something to keep a lookout for.

  • Or maybe like my Satuday, you wake up and you are there.

(FYI At this moment it’s back to the task list…but I definitely enjoyed that brief moment of a peaceful mind)

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

šŸ¤™šŸ¾ 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 šŸ’«

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)

If you haven’t seen Simon’s videos on your social media yet, take a moment and dive into his channel. This is one of the most inspirational channels right now. Let’s see if you can watch until the end and not shed a tear.

šŸŽØ Artists Who Inspire

Niyati Parekh

I am so happy I found this artist. This is very unique from my usual art preference that I look at online. Meet Niyati Parekh from India who creates these beautiful 3D wood carvings.

Even better… this is only one type of creative expression that she is working with, her works span residential buildings, industrial areas, public spaces and more.

šŸŽ¶ Song of the week

Such a beautiful voice. Grab your best headphones, lie back, close your eyes, and enjoy this musical candy!

āœˆļø Travel Inspo

ā€œto travel is to wash your eyesā€

Throwback to The Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. This was the reminder that I made a dream happen. Now it’s eating tacos in Mexico

Final thoughts:

Take all the time you need to reset your life at any time! And I wish you all the best on this journey. Happy middle of the year…may you find the courage and strength to push forward for your dreams.

We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.ā€
