I am officially 'retired' according to the UK government, but I am not ready for pipe and slippers. I re-established my website and started blogging again. But the universe had other plans. Repeated website hosting issues pushed me to try Substack and I’m grateful to George Kao for inspiring this move. I am now happily following my soul and my nose and very happy to be both on Joy Pro and Substack with kindred spirits.
I’m taking it slow, one step at a time, and letting it unfold, organically. I have a deep desire to share/commune with others and another 'thing' where I want to hide away and be a hermit (although the hermit is now beginning to diminish).
I'm currently sharing my self-created oracle cards and weekly oracle readings with those cards on Substack. I have many other many things I'd love to use and share, but am feeling my way with this.
I'm thrilled to be here in this community. I'm very happy to say that I feel safe, ‘loved’, supported and inspired. Thank you all! Please feel free to connect personally at any point. Or maybe see you on Substack?!

Most important? Everything is optional 😄 Skip lessons & modules that aren't interesting to you!
You're welcome to simply come to a Q&A call, and tell me your situation (briefly) and ask me my recommended next step :)
Big thanks for this one 🙏💕 I loved this so much I had to watch it twice! (Just to make sure I'd heard right). I know I'm my own biggest guilt-tripper and slave-driver - but I'm working to stop doing that and to just choose what I want to choose and be happy with my choices, never mind what anyone else thinks. (Am also working on not minding what anyone else thinks 😏.) Joy Joy Joy!

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!

꩜ 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)!
Great tip! Thank you. I never knew.
