In a few days I will be officially 'retired' according to the UK government, but I am not ready for pipe and slippers. I've re-established my website and am following my soul and my nose. Currently this means blogging again - and doing this beautiful and inspiring JoyPro course. I hope I can glean enough to meld my passions with what others need/want, or are interested in. I have a deep desire to share/commune with others and an equal 'thing' where I want to hide away and be a hermit. I'm currently sharing my self-created oracle cards and my oracle readings with those cards. I have many other 'trainings' and gifts I'd love to use, but am feeling my way with this, (not yet sure what I want to introduce and run with) and am moving forward one step at a time - and seeing how it all unfolds. I'm thrilled to be here in this community. So far, I'm very happy to say that I feel safe, loved, supported and inspired. Thank you all! Please feel free to connect personally. And, I probably need a work buddy and perhaps I should announce and commit to that - publicly - very soon!

꩜ Spiral learning
Any important area of life has many (perhaps, unlimited) layers of understanding and application. This is certainly true with Joyful Productivity. Each time you return to one of the lessons, consider these 4 steps: Choose one concept, tool, or exercise from the Lesson that you're most interested to apply right now. All other ideas, put on the "back burner" for future consideration. It'll always be available to you to revisit. Choosing to apply one idea at a time will make your real-life learning more sustainable. Experiment as you apply it into your life or business. This means you're open to making "mistakes" as you try implementing the idea. Reflect on your real-life learning and implementation: add a comment underneath that particular lesson. Share your experience with the class. Ask any questions. Netcare by reading a few other comments and replying underneath them. Perhaps even reach out privately to someone to appreciate their reflection. By using these 4 steps again and again, you will spiral deeper (or higher) into your skillfulness with Joyful Productivity 👏🏽
So many great comments on this video - I'll have to spiral back and read some more! This reminds me of reiterating the same points in my blog posts - and not worrying that I've said it or a similar thing before. After all, the person reading/listening to my post today, probably hasn't seen the previous post where I speak about the same or similar thing! Also, this morning, I came across some notes I made in April 2023 on George's post about the 10 year plan - I forgot all about it and didn't implement it. Looking at it now, I think I am in year one - or possibly year two. Happy to be here! I love it.
The 'spiral learning' analogy resonates for me - as I use a spiral in my written signature. The image itself defies limitations and separation and is a reminder that growth awaits us, whether it be revisiting a skill and building on it, or that of an emotion and transmuting it; or my favorite, experiencing the bliss of rising in frequency as all that has come before is further integrated as soul experience.
Also I will now see the word "mistake" as "mis-take" and 'take another go at it'! Thank you George!
Yes, mis-take, I love that!
I learnt about spiral learning doing my shiatsu course and I really love it as it feels much more natural and true. We cycle back round and go deeper. I also find the idea of habit stacking really helpful - I listened to a Kaizen book and loved that, similar I found, with that it is do it for 1 min a day, just start, don't aim too high but build the habit. Bother are kinder and more realistic
@Nicole DrummondWhat kaizen book Nicole? I love the idea of implementing in a kinder way (not too much at once to start with)!

Not stressing. Just freely and naturally sharing, as though within my journal or to a friend. But (for me) lightly is also 'upbeat' and positive. No one wants to read about my angst (not in great detail anyway)! And sending each post out with love and good intentions and just letting it go (not wondering how it will go down with anyone) just hoping it's helpful, but not thinking about it anymore once it's published.
I try to move every hour (jig around) but I think now I’ll step up the effort and make it a bit more challenging. Looking forward to thinking up my acronym too!
