[00:00:00]

Hello, beautiful soul. And welcome to this episode of La Dolce Vita lounge. Where I am going to talk about the, how. Now, most of my best ideas, don't come to me when I'm sat at a desk unsurprisingly. And when I was on a cycle yesterday afternoon, I was minding my own business just enjoying the ride. I don't listen to any music I don't distract myself in, in any way. I have hearing challenges so, I feel safer and more engaged with the environment if I am fully present. So [00:01:00] here I am cycling down the waterway really paying attention to what's going on around me. And there's a fine balance between paying attention and getting drawn in and, being safe and enjoying the scenery.

There's a super quiet section where it's super grounded, and then there's another section further down where there's lots of cafes, bars, places to hang out by the water. And it's really cool.

It has such a nice energy. And I think it must've been around 3: 30, 4 o'clock in the afternoon. And they were really packed all these places. It was a Wednesday and these places were really, really busy in the middle of the afternoon. And I just found myself thinking. Like. What do they do? But what do they do for a job to be just hanging out, having a drink in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday?

And as I almost went down this rabbit warren, I caught myself. And thought, well, it doesn't really [00:02:00] matter how they do it, does it?

Because actually my world is always going to be different to theirs. How do I want to do it?

How do I want to create more space to play in my day?

What is it that I bring?

What is it that I add value to?

Or who do I add value to? Who can I help? In order to create more of that in, in my day?

And it was such a light bulb moment. I have a natural curiosity about the, how people do things and why people do things, because it helps me with my clients. It helps. For me to have examples of, of how people have unlocked their worlds, to help my clients to unlock theirs.

But it was a really good example of how it's so easy to get caught up in the moment of mimicking, and copying what other people are doing actually. Even if I was to go and have a conversation with all of those people and ask them their, how and their why, because they're both important. And they'll all have different motivations. It really is irrelevant. It [00:03:00] doesn't matter how they did it because that path has already gone.

And actually mine is always going to be different, in the same way that yours is always going to be different. So, it's it's fabulous to hear these snippets, understand these things. For for inspiration, but your particular journey is always going to be different. So please, I encourage you to not get too tied up in anybody else's how.

Just have a think about yours, so if your goal is to have more time and space for play and joy and connection in your day, in your sweet life.

What does that look like for you?

And then how can you create it?

And just think about one way to do that, in one example for the week.

So how can you find more time for a walk every day? for example, or whatever it is that sweetness looks like for you.

It might be having more space around [00:04:00] enjoying a slow morning. I had a conversation with someone this week that was just that well, how do you just not be in a rush?!

It's quite simple. Set your alarm earlier!

That could be the one thing that allows more space in the rest of your day because you have a calm start to the day. And it takes a while to get used to, but actually over time that just allows spaciousness in a way that will impact everything.

So, what is your, why?

What is it that you want to achieve more of in your day?

Just pick one day, and one thing.

And then how could you go about doing it?

So what would you need to do in order to create that? Would you need an extra client?

Would you need extra, pet care? Whatever it is.

What, would you need in order to make that happen?

Have a play and let me know how you get on. I would love to hear, I always love to hear about people's adventures in their sweet life, and I will continue sharing these snippets as [00:05:00] they land as well. Some of them are inspired by my own little adventures in my sweet life. And some of them are inspired by conversations with clients.

Let me know how you get on have a sweet day.
