Welcome to week 3 of my 12-week series: “Reclaim Your Dreams: Reignite Your Spark.” If you’re ready to dive in, skip to the photo below to get started.

In case you missed earlier notes, you can catch up on week 1 here, and week 2 here.

What’s the purpose?

The 10 Life Pillars activity separates your life into 10 categories, so you can zoom in on one part of your life at a time. You’ll look at what energizes you and drains you, and think about any changes you’d like to make.

Each week I’ll share an “Anchor” practice, designed to take 5-10 minutes, and an “Amplify” practice if you want to go deeper on that week’s theme.  

There will be weeks when your thoughts flow effortlessly, and others when you need to pause and reflect. That’s totally normal! Give yourself permission to pause—it’s all part of figuring things out.

WEEK 3 PILLAR: ENVIRONMENTAL

ANCHOR: Take 10 minutes to answer/journal.

• When thinking about your physical environments, is there anything you’d like to change? This could be your home office or bedroom, your home as a whole, your neighborhood, your work space.
• How do you want to feel in your space?
• What would contribute to feeling happy? Peaceful? Motivated? Safe?
• What do you want to 1) stop, 2) start, or 3) continue?
• What energizes you?
• What drains you?

AMPLIFY: If you want to go deeper on this theme.

Watch this TED talk called “Where joy hides and how to find it” by designer and author, Ingrid Fetell Lee.

I’m currently reading her book, “Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness” to learn more about how our surroundings impact our wellbeing. (This is an Amazon Associate link.

Last week, Leadership Coach Beth Hocking and I had a conversation on LinkedIn Live about early burnout signals and wellbeing “band-aids” we can use for immediate help. One of Beth’s favorites? A little dance party!  🎉 🎶 💃 

Watch the replay here!

Cheering for you, for dance parties, and for cheerful spaces.
