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!
