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.

Then, why don't you...be curious. Think back to your childhood when you were continuously exposed to new ideas, concepts, and activities. Were you as excited as I was to dive into a new book, explore new parks, or watch science experiments in awe? Have you found yourself bogged down in life that the curiosity is rare these days? This episode is a reminder to stay curious and explore the world around you with openness and wonder.
