On Fridays, we make space for creativity. You don't always have to be doing crafts - sometimes just about play or experiencing freedom. Taking back control or the feeling of control over your life. Even if it is just a few minutes or an hour of your week. And from that feeling of freedom and play, that feeling is actually wealth. If we learn what it feels like, it starts to become more and more present in our life - after that the money is easy.

On Wednesdays, we practise hope. We take the small flame of hope, we grow it until it's abundant. We do this because Hope is a behaviour, a practise. It doesn't always come naturally. So by having a practise where every Wednesday we think and associate ourselves to hopeful thoughts. Eventually it comes present in our lives.

On Mondays we practise grief. We give ourselves permission to feel grief, resentment, anger - everything that comes up in our lives that prevents us from reaching for what we want. On Mondays we let it have it space. We park it there and then we get on with the rest of our week.

Imagine this as a virtual space that I hold for you to name your grief, acknowledge all that you have been through or perhaps still going through. Resentment, anger, sadness, hardship. Speak gently to yourself while I hold a few moments here for you. Let your voice be heard, name what's holding you back.

Today's questions:

Things to consider:

When I left working for the mainstream to start Indigenuity - my practise for connecting more Māori families to their own homes - I had to design my own workplace. Tikanga that allowed me to thrive. As I've matured in year 7 of business, I'm now able to extend this approach to my clients. I hope I honour you.

Today I've recorded my own reflections on where my grief, resentments and control issues rise up in my life. It's been wearing me out a bit lately. Particularly in trying to translate my annoyances about relationship money, and instead telling the authentic truth.

 Make time and space to pause. I do this through being creative. It uses another source of energy that seems bottomless and so I get a break from stresses. In this space and time, the answers to problems just flow and follow.
