Forest therapy can be a great way to be inspired by nature. To get the most out of this therapy or better yet mediation, start by finding a peaceful, natural space in nature that you can visit regularly, such as a park or forest.

Take time to explore the area, noticing the sights, sounds, and smells. As you explore, take time to sit or lie down and observe the environment around you. Notice the sunlight, the trees, and the wildlife. As you take in the sights and sounds of nature, allow your thoughts to drift away and your mind to become still.

Allow yourself to connect deeply with the environment around you and to be inspired by the beauty of nature.

Be inspired in 2024!

TOP 10 WAYS TO SNAP YOU OUT OF THE GRAY WINTER FUNK.

These long days of darkness plus the gray, rainy days of the west coast can get you in a funk. Here are some ideas to get inspired and energize yourself:

Go for a walk or run outdoors to get some fresh air and clear your head.

Listen to some upbeat music and dance around to lift your spirits.

Connect with a friend or family member, either in-person or virtually.

Get creative and try something new like drawing, painting, or writing.

Take some time for yourself and practice some self-care activities like taking a warm bath or reading a book.

Set small, achievable goals for yourself and work toward them.

Meditate and focus on your breathing to relax your mind and body.

Write down your thoughts and feelings in a journal.

Find something to laugh at, like a funny movie or show, to lighten your mood.

The days are getting longer and the weather will get better. Stay inspired!

TAKE ACTION - MOVING LIFE FORWARD FOR 2024!

We decide to get a head start of Black Friday and completely go wild! Yes 50% off our goal achieving program - The Intentional Morning.

Success in 2024 is within your reach! As we approach the new year, it's the perfect time to set your sights on achieving your goals and making your dreams a reality. Here are a few key principles to help you pave the path to success in 2024:

1. Clarity of Vision: Take the time to define your vision for the year ahead. What do you want to accomplish? What areas of your life do you want to improve? Having a clear vision will guide your actions and keep you focused on what truly matters.

2. Goal Setting: Set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. Break them down into smaller milestones to make them more manageable. By setting clear goals, you'll have a roadmap to follow and a sense of direction throughout the year.

3. Continuous Learning: Commit to personal and professional growth. Invest in yourself by acquiring new knowledge, developing new skills, and expanding your horizons. Embrace a growth mindset and seek opportunities to learn and improve.

4. Consistent Action: Success is built on consistent action. Take daily steps towards your goals, even if they are small. Consistency is key, and each small action adds up over time to create significant progress.

5. Resilience and Adaptability: Challenges and setbacks are inevitable, but it's how you respond to them that matters. Cultivate resilience and adaptability to overcome obstacles and adjust your approach when needed. See setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning.

6. Accountability and Support: Surround yourself with a supportive network of like-minded individuals who can hold you accountable and provide guidance along the way. Seek mentors, join mastermind groups, or find an accountability partner to help you stay on track.

7. Self-Care and Well-being: Remember to prioritize self-care and well-being. Success is not just about achieving external goals; it's also about maintaining a healthy balance in all areas of your life. Take care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being to sustain your success in the long run.

Remember, success is a journey, and it looks different for everyone. Stay committed, stay focused, and believe in yourself. With the right mindset, strategies, and actions, you can make 2024 a year of incredible growth, achievement, and fulfillment.

"The Leadership Challenge" by James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner had a huge impact on my leadership knowledge. It presents a comprehensive framework for individuals to develop their leadership skills and become successful leaders.

It highlights five key practices that leaders should adopt to inspire and motivate their teams including the importance of personal credibility and integrity:

1. Model the Way: Leaders should set an example by clarifying values and demonstrating commitment to shared goals. They should lead with authenticity and integrity.

2. Inspire a Shared Vision: Leaders should envision an inspiring future and communicate it effectively to their team. They should encourage others to share in the vision and work towards its realization.

3. Challenge the Process: Leaders should encourage innovation and embrace change. They should be open to new ideas and continuously seek opportunities for improvement.

4. Enable Others to Act: Leaders should foster collaboration and empower their team members. They should create an environment that encourages participation, trust, and teamwork.

5. Encourage the Heart: Leaders should recognize and appreciate the contributions of their team members. They should celebrate achievements and provide support during challenging times.

"The Leadership Challenge" is a valuable resource for individuals aspiring to become effective leaders or enhance their existing leadership skills. It offers actionable insights and guidance to inspire and empower others, ultimately creating a positive impact in both personal and professional settings.

It is not a fast read (over 400 pages) however worth the time investment.
