Inspiring Insights - taking the first step
Welcome, to this Insight, how are you?
I know it has been a while since we've connected, so I felt this July letter was the perfect way to reconnect and share some of the amazing adventures of the last few months.
I believe we live our greatest life by how we live today, and some months ago, I felt the call of travel. I listened to my heart, navigated through all the "reasons why I couldn't," and with the family grown, after 25 years of living in the same town, I decided to embrace the journey anyway.
In February, I embarked on a gypsy life, traveling to towns and forming new connections. My adventures have taken me to places like Broken Hill, Fremantle, Adelaide, Sydney, Central Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Townsville. Throughout these travels, I’ve been working, meeting people, and sharing the magic that unfolds when we choose differently.
In this letter, I ask: do you sometimes feel the call for something different? If so, how do you nurture it?
It doesn't have to be big or small; it just needs to be begun. Sometimes we freeze at the thought of trying something new, but isn't it in the adventure of life that we find our greatest selves, meet new people, and ignite our creative passions?
So this month my inspiration is – what have you held yourself back from? Is it a new business idea, a new creative passion or to begin a new relationship? So many incredible opportunities just waiting for you to find your way.
For me, this journey has led to the evolution of myself, my business, and my place in the world. It’s about contemplating the legacy and the footprint I leave on the Earth.
If you have ever felt the call for change and want to explore it further, now truly is the time to put your toe in the water and see what incredible possibilities may unfold. If you never try, you will never know.
Here are a few tips for making that first step easier…
Don’t let your busy schedule be your block.
It doesn’t have to be big, expensive or time consuming.
Something little is the best place.
10 mins a day can be life changing.
If you are unsure do a brain dump of all the things you’ve always wanted to do.
Number them from the easiest to the ones that may take some more time and organisation.
Set yourself the challenge, there is no fail or succeed, there is just leaning into the unknown and feeling the thrill of your growth within it.
Trust me, once you begin, it becomes so much easier.
Remember, this is something that is just for you, something that makes your inner self smile.
