00:00:29.494 --> 00:00:35.195
Hey there, how's your week going? So for me it's Friday morning,
00:00:35.595 --> 00:00:40.670
I am sitting on my balcony, I'm looking at the green leaves of the trees up the hill,
00:00:41.294 --> 00:00:45.869
and I'm listening to a symphony of birds talking to each other.
00:00:46.875 --> 00:00:52.525
You know, I'm trying to make this time and this part a quote-unquote retool
00:00:52.525 --> 00:00:58.539
to support my audio letter writing practice, and we will see if it sticks.
00:00:59.324 --> 00:01:02.695
So now that I'm taking a breath and a break.
00:01:03.823 --> 00:01:11.155
I'm realizing that I had a quite busy week, and I am pretty tired,
00:01:11.155 --> 00:01:15.601
and I want to plan some activities to restore my energy during the weekend.
00:01:16.675 --> 00:01:23.375
For sure, I will include some rest, but I also need to plan something inspiring,
00:01:23.375 --> 00:01:30.097
interesting, somehow stimulating or thought-provoking to nurture my creativity.
00:01:30.934 --> 00:01:35.293
And it sounds like I've got it all figured out, right?
00:01:35.705 --> 00:01:40.955
If I have a busy week, I will have some regenerative activities and I will feel
00:01:40.955 --> 00:01:43.699
refreshed and ready to move forward.
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:49.095
But it's not that easy because even though I know what works for me,
00:01:49.635 --> 00:01:53.056
I just tend to forget to do it.
00:01:53.782 --> 00:02:01.235
And I guess that's because those joyful rejuvenating activities fall under the
00:02:01.235 --> 00:02:04.997
bigger umbrella of unproductive activities.
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:12.455
And being raised in a system that rewards you only when you are productive makes
00:02:12.455 --> 00:02:17.723
it very easy to set aside all the much-needed fun stuff.
00:02:18.712 --> 00:02:24.586
And I guess that's the same reason why for the past three years, at least,
00:02:25.536 --> 00:02:33.839
I entered the fall feeling like, wait, I used to love September's New Beginnings vibe.
00:02:34.193 --> 00:02:38.332
So why am I feeling numb and uninspired now?
00:02:38.645 --> 00:02:45.646
And how will I dive back into my work if my creative battery is already drained?
00:02:46.584 --> 00:02:51.436
I have a feeling that sounds familiar to you too. I mean, globally,
00:02:51.436 --> 00:02:55.512
the past two to three years have been incredibly heavy,
00:02:55.993 --> 00:03:00.936
and I believe you're not completely immune to putting aside playful,
00:03:00.936 --> 00:03:05.986
regenerative activities in favor of pushing through and being quote-unquote
00:03:05.986 --> 00:03:10.129
productive, even though you might be doing it unconsciously.
00:03:11.064 --> 00:03:17.848
Well, you know what? I am tired of falling into that same trap again and again.
00:03:18.255 --> 00:03:23.810
And I don't want to get to this fool feeling like I lost my drive and imagination
00:03:24.246 --> 00:03:27.932
and thinking, how did we get here again?
00:03:28.598 --> 00:03:31.048
And I'm pretty sure you don't want that too.
00:03:31.939 --> 00:03:35.311
So I'm creating something for us both.
00:03:35.869 --> 00:03:44.252
Something fun inspiring playful deep and powerful too yet not overwhelming or
00:03:44.252 --> 00:03:49.611
too demanding so let me introduce you to the joyful impact summer camp,
00:03:50.244 --> 00:03:55.322
it's a four-week program for socially conscious business owners and creatives
00:03:55.322 --> 00:04:00.258
like us who want to enter the fall energized
00:04:00.693 --> 00:04:06.302
and with their creative well bubbling with inspiration, but right now don't
00:04:06.302 --> 00:04:10.300
know how to stop feeling exhausted and exploiting their capacity.
00:04:10.989 --> 00:04:14.919
The camp will help you craft your own guides to spot what fuels you,
00:04:15.285 --> 00:04:20.980
to tend what keeps you stuck in unhelpful patterns, and to map your path forward
00:04:21.316 --> 00:04:24.480
so you know exactly how to resource yourself
00:04:24.869 --> 00:04:29.652
and how to restore your creativity, especially during those tricky,
00:04:29.652 --> 00:04:32.770
challenging times or when you feel,
00:04:33.222 --> 00:04:37.675
you know, overwhelmed, much like the late summer fatigue, right?
00:04:38.817 --> 00:04:44.605
It will happen in August, mostly asynchronously, plus two live calls,
00:04:45.005 --> 00:04:49.185
one at the beginning and one at the end, so we can get to know each other,
00:04:49.505 --> 00:04:52.279
set intentions, and celebrate progress.
00:04:53.047 --> 00:04:56.875
I am working on the details, and of course, I will share them soon.
00:04:56.875 --> 00:05:02.113
In the meantime, would you be open to sharing how it sounds to you?
00:05:02.794 --> 00:05:06.985
You know, I'm creating this to support you the best way I can,
00:05:06.985 --> 00:05:12.355
and I'd really love to here how the idea of the camp lands with you.
00:05:13.335 --> 00:05:18.728
And I also want to invite you to sit, walk, or dance with this question.
00:05:19.379 --> 00:05:25.635
How do you want to feel when September comes and it's time to dive back into
00:05:25.635 --> 00:05:28.626
your creative, impactful work?
00:05:29.575 --> 00:05:36.055
So feel free to share what comes to mind. You can email me or send me a voice
00:05:36.055 --> 00:05:39.961
message on SpeakPipe, and of course, you'll find all the links in the show notes.
00:05:40.865 --> 00:05:47.356
I am really looking forward to hearing from you. And for everything else, we will talk soon.
