Do you remember what it was like to be a beginner? So focused on your own curiosity of the new skill or activity that you didn't compare yourself to anyone, even your past self? I recently joined a Learn to Curl class in Fremont CA, part of the Silicon Valley Curling Club (https://siliconvalleycurling.com/). To say I loved it is an understatement. I first heard about this from a colleague and have been wanted to try this for a couple months now. I finally found a date that worked and booked it right away.

In 2 hours you are able to practice basic skills and get right into game play. I cannot wait to come back and it was a great reminder of what it's like to be a beginner and learn from curiosity, not out of necessity.

Permission slip: try something so new that you can't, compare it to anything you've done before, even if you try

Remember to ask yourself: Then, why don't you?

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, we delve into the powerful mantra of "Be Creative First, Ask Questions Later." Join us as we explore the importance of embracing your creativity and taking action before succumbing to doubts and fears.

We discuss the notion that many of us tend to hold ourselves back by overthinking, seeking validation, or fearing failure. Moreover, we explore practical strategies to cultivate a "Create First" mentality in our daily lives, and give ourselves permission to try out new activities to see what brings us joy. We dive into the concept of rapid prototyping, encouraging listeners to experiment, iterate, and refine their ideas through action.

The podcast aims to inspire listeners to tap into their creative potential, ignite their passions, and create meaningful work. By challenging the conventional wisdom of waiting for the "perfect" moment or seeking external or internal approval, we empower individuals to take charge of their creative journeys and forge their own paths.

So, if you're ready to break free from the constraints of self-doubt and unlock your full creative potential, join us on this exciting episode of "Then, Why Don't You...Be Creative First, Ask Questions Later" and discover the transformative power of embracing creativity and taking action.

As always, ask yourself, "then, why don't you?"

Do you remember when you were in elementary school? It was about creativity, learning, exploring, and lots of arts and crafts. If you're like me and enjoyed your time in elementary school, you may be wondering, "I had so much fun back then, how can I do more of that now?". Now a days there are new terms for what we did back then. It is sometimes referred to as design thinking learning. I've recently renewed my passion and desire to tap into my creative side and it's been so much fun! Tune in to see how you can channel "elementary school you" and live a more creative life!

Getting up for a sunrise hike, especially in Hawaii, is 100% worth the view. There is also a great life lesson I appreciated while on this hike. Everyone may be on the same path/hike but the goal and way each person approaches it is different. Listen to find out how this hike helped bring some clarity and kindness to how I've been approaching my life and avoid compare and despair.

I hope this helps and as always ask yourself, "then, why don't you?"

Getting out in nature can be so therapeutic, refreshing, and just so much fun! After joining No Worries Amigo Hiking Club (https://noworriesamigo.com and IG: @noworriesamigohikingclub), I found a new appreciation for hiking, had fun socialzing as an introvert, and met so many great people. We also met some cute pups from @adopt_my_block. Oh I wish I could adopt one!

Challenge for you: go out and hike, spend time in nature, and enjoy the fresh air! Share with me where you end up going! Enjoy the episode!

Then, why don't you...stop holding it all together and get a grocery bag (literally and figuratively). Have you ever gone to the grocery store for 1 item, leave with 10 and think, "It's not that many items. It's not heavy. I'll just carry them." Same here. I realized that I do this with my life too. Take on too many small "easy" tasks only to end up overwhelmed and stressed out because I cannot get them done, or I can at a lower quality that I'm not satisfied with. Today I'll share some resources, stories, and time saving tips that will be your 'grocery bag' for your life tasks.
