untethering and finding your creativity and connection 🫶🏼

Hey hey Reader, I want to close this loop for you...Gordie my 9 year old picked ice skating as what he's learning this year. ⛸️ (I know you were curious!!)

He does look adorable in his big soccer socks and t-shirt in shorts when we go. ❤️

So last week when I talked about YOU figuring out some cool things to do with your summer...

Did you write a list?

Did you put it up somewhere to see it...or did you go down a rabbit hole of non productive scrolling and reacting to other people?

You got to get bored to get brilliant.

“This is what the bored and brilliant project is all about: losing a little of the tools that give us a lot in the way of information, immediate productivity, and assurance in order to regain some of the simplicity and wonder that lead to deeper creativity, insight, and calm.” ~Manoush Zomorodi from her book Bored and Brilliant

When and where you get all your great ideas and sparks of inspiration?

For me, its being in the water, being in nature, and in solitude (no tech).

I love being out in the water whether its paddling or surfing or swimming or running or practicing yoga.

I am in tune with how I am moving and breathing.

The channel is open for the whispers of my own creativity.

Solitude and quietude are some key elements in this open channel process.

Have you ever watched children while they are out in nature somewhere and they have like a stick or a cup and they end up coming up with all sorts of games with just this one thing.
They are truly present and open to their creativity and the flow of ideas while they play.

ondering if you’d like to step up and get “bored and brilliant” with my Digital Declutter Challenge?

It’s a free 7 day course to connect to your brilliance and creativity-without your rectangular tech 📲.

Sign up here🙏

When you step away from the reactivity of “all the things” you can SEE and FEEL the connection to yourself AND create deep, meaningful, and purposeful connections in your relationships.

So head outside, get in the water, get barefoot in the grass (a la Richard Gere in Pretty Woman style) and get to setting up your list of stuff to do when you’re bored (NOT scrolling or reacting to your tech).

I am sure you will get lots of fun ideas.

(Like I just got a pizza book and a SEWING book from the library as part of my summer list to make pizza and sew more…🧵).

👉🏼Hack: I love putting my list on my fridge where I can see AND I putt my phone inside a drawer so its outta sight.

Be open to where creative ideas lead you. Sign up for the Digital Declutter Challenge to get bored and brilliant!

And have some FUN along the way.

Good luck with all that!
