Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week...

Today, we explore the beautiful Zen proverb that reminds us that calm is not passive, but a powerful inner achievement we can choose – even in the busiest season of the year:

“To be calm is the highest achievement of the self.”

Three key takeaways you can expect:


How to create micro-moments of stillness in your day - in as little as 30 seconds - to gently reset your nervous system.


How to lovingly lower the bar and simplify December, so it feels more present, joyful and aligned with what truly matters to you.


How to protect your energy and prioritise intentional rest, so you can show up as your best self for the people and projects you care about.

Listen in and feel inspired to slow down, breathe, and make small calm choices that move you closer to living your dream life - whatever that looks like for you.

As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.    

…and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛
