Summary

We lose our spark and love for life for many reasons: burnout, mental ill health, people pleasing, a breakup. When we do it can feel like life gets very boring, it loses colour, we lose interest and we can become cynical towards all of the small joys and brilliance of being alive and being human. In this episode we break down six tips for getting your spark back:

The power of rest
Choosing to live light versus live heavy
Reconnecting with your inner child + play
Seeking inspiration in the mundane and The Alchemist
Exercise + the healing power of nature
Ignoring the urge to compare

Listen now for when you're in a rut or have lost your spark!
