🌿 What Would You Do If You Were Inspired? Issue 197
💫 A Dose of Inspiration
Hello friends and family,
Here we are at the end of February, 2 months into this new year of adventures. How are you doing? For some, it feels like we are already 1 year into this year, but hold on and find your strength. This is a great adventure! All the ups and downs of life’s rollercoaster is what makes it so vibrant in hindsight.
Let’s kick off today’s issue with some inspiration from my conversation with Chatgpt.
This week's theme is “Using Music As a Reset.”
I have a month and a half of an unstable routine coming up, and I decided to let ChatGPT guide me for this. I asked for a routine and then also to upgrade it for a salsa dancer. Now, the response was incredible and hilariously motivating. One of the pieces that stood out was its suggestion to use music as a reset.
Feeling drained? A high-energy salsa track.
Need to calm down? A slow, sensual bachata.
Stuck in your head? A song that forces you to just move.
Music has always been my go-to to change the mood, the background playlist to hype me up and to relax to. It’s part of the reason why this newsletter exists.
What I love about the way it presented this to me is the breakdown of when to use certain types of music. It’s the idea of playlists. You have a playlist for your workout, a playlist to get ready on nights out, and a playlist to calm your mind if you need to focus.
Why not arm yourself with certain songs to bring you back to center?
So yesterday, I started my new playlist and themed out certain songs for stressful times.
Your task this week:
Think about 1 song to bring you to full energy. Save this song, and if you want to take it a step further, you can start your mornings off with it!
You bring the energy to this one life!
Remember each week, we are just moving one tiny step forward to creating a life you love.

🤙🏾 Inspired by …
I love these series of how people turn concepts into a successful business. One idea and then it works. Most often, the problem is getting started! But what if you start and. it works?
🎨 Artists Who Inspire
Prince Gyasi
The power of this man’s work! I saw this at Art Week in Mexico City. It is beautiful to enter the space and see such powerful African art being shown so far away. Meet Prince Gyasi, an artist from Ghana whose work beams colours and brightness but with layers of hidden messages. In the image above, one man holds a Bible and the other a Koran.
If you got the time and love African art, take the time to scroll through his work and give it the mental space for you to process this.
🎶 Song of the week
Well, last week was filled with magic! I got to see Gia Fu play live here in Mexico City! Her music choice had me dancing with my phone open on Shazam so I could grab some great tracks! In my next life, I want to be her, with a life built around music and happiness!
Enjoy this one, have it playing in the background while you live your life!

❤️
This is the start of something bigger but for now, this will be home to all projects, resources, and services for you to donate to, buy, or support. This section of the newsletter will stay and have a feature for each project/ ngo when added. So if you know of anything where we can make an impact please hit reply and let me know.
Final thoughts:
It can get exhausting having to push forward on our dreams and goals each year, but we must find it in ourselves to continue. It will be such great magic to sit at the end of life and look at how many hurdles we have overcome.
If you feel tired, stop, rest, get the support you need (sleep, drink water), and when you wake up the next da,y find your song and keep going!
“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”
