Hello friends and family!

Happy Wednesday! I am back with tons more energy for your day! I hope that Jan is treating you well and that everyone around you is safe. 

A very loud, 

hello and welcome

to the new subscribers. Thank you for joining us on this weekly adventure for a

Dose of Inspiration

and tips to 

Create A Life You Love and Go Live It

. 

The theme of this week is the great reset!

This is something I have been working on since the end of December. I planned a full reset of life since I had a slight health hiccup which set off warning bells that the way I was living life was not correct. Whatever priorities I had on my list were clearly in the wrong order! 

Why do we wait for something extreme to happen for us to make major changes?

Well, this gave me an opportunity to shift things around and the conclusion is me deciding to put health and peace first! And wow what a difference it has made to my life. 

  Steps for a reset: 

1. Write down every area in life that you are not happy with and why. (add details) 

2. Write down solutions to these problems. 

3. Write down a new priority list for life as you want it to be. 

4. Action time: Clear the problem list with solutions. 

5. Ensure that every interaction or "yes that you say" is aligned to the priority list. 

Some of the things on my list: 

• Problem: No real fitness challenge in my life. So exercise felt like a routine chore. 

• Solution: I joined a kickboxing class - now I go twice a week. 

• Problem: I get busy in the week and don't have the energy to exercise.

• Solution: Workout on Sundays and Mondays. I have added Friday after work as well because it sets a nice break from work to the weekend. 

• Problem: I finished off the year with a severe allergic reaction which affected my breathing. 

• Solution:I start my day now with Qi Gong and breathwork. I will continue this practice until the day I die. I also plan to get certified as a breathwork coach so that I am continuing to practice and deepen my breath. (solving everything at the root) 

Making peace a priority! 

I recently heard a viral song with the lyrics "drink water and mind my own business" and this is exactly what I am doing. I am focusing on my own projects, my newsletter, coaching, and my own little bubble of life.

Peace of mind and space is now a non-negotibable. From this, I have found myself spending more time at home, declining random invites - only seeing people who I really really want to see (those who spark joy) and just being.

(And this is beautiful - I am definitely entering a new phase of life and it's one of peace, joy and breath) 

I am curious...what does this new phase look like for your life? 

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

We often forget that we can reset everything. Just look at the cryptocurrency/ nft space. What if we changed neighborhoods to be more social and cities to have more inclusivity? ...oh and fruit trees everywhere too. 

Artists Who Inspire 

Artist: Berna Yurdaer

There are so many amazing artists out there. This is the one good thing about social media. It has given a platform to artists and creatives who want to share their work. Enabling their art to be found by random people like me. 

Meet Berna Yurdaer, her work reminds me of biology class with a dose of LSD haha. I love it and you can see the effort and time it took in the details. 

(Have you taken your first step to creating something this year?)

Song of the week 

And he is back! I am so happy. I feel like my world has gotten slightly brighter since hearing this song. Stromae is one of my favourite musicians, you may know him from Alors on danse and Papaoutai. Almost 11 years ago and now he is back with this new vibe. See even he can reset and come back to music! This week enjoy this song and if you like it, go find his other stuff on Youtube.

If I did, you can too!

On a well-deserved break! This will be back soon .... with more amazing stories from Viv and her guests.
