Goals are needed as they give us direction. However, they are very outcomes-based and can have an effect on our psyche if we don’t achieve them. According to @jamesclear the author of Atomic Habits, there are alternatives that can contribute more to our personal growth.

Kudos to @grahamabbottphoto who organised the fantastic @barrydaleanaloguephotofestival hosted from 10th -20th December in Barrydale. Besides the great analogue photos on show, talks with @josieborain , @gavinfurlonger, @heidi_erdman, and Pieter Badenhorst from @photohire (to name a few) made for such a cool and interesting festival. If you’re in the Barrydale hood from now until 20th December, don’t miss what this intimate festival offers.

The benefits of movement.
From our brain to our joints, moving every day, and it doesn’t have to be too much, has the power to improve every part of our body.

⛹ Muscles: Just by moving ,which contributes to the strengthening the over 600 muscles we have in our body, it improves our stability, balance, and coordination.

⛹ Joints: Stretching encourages flexibility and range motion which boost flexibility and joint function.

⛹Brain: 30–40-minute walks 3 x per week can help regrow the structures of the brain linked to cognitive decline.

⛹Heart: Regular cycling can cut the risk of heart disease by 50%.

⛹Lungs: Keeping your rate up, improves your cardiorespiratory endurance.

This photo was taken of football players having fun on the beach. Using a slower shutter speed, I’m trying to capture the movement and shapes that confirm my notion of sport as an act of poetry in motion.

Focus on the solution…it feels better.

I’m sure we can all relate that life throws up challenges which need to be dealt with.

However, they can be stressful, yet there are usually two questions we need to ask ourselves, and 1 crucial step to decide on, all of which influences our mindset, mood, energy levels, and the outcome.

As this video showcases.

What does it take to be an international DJ?
How much more fun can it be than enjoying, dropping tunes to a heaving dance floor, while everyone is having a blast
As fantastic as it all sounds, there is still all the behind-the-scenes- work to make it happen.
In this latest episode of the @_createfulness_ podcast titled, “ It’s not only about being brave, you have to contribute too,” I chat with @davemac77 from @idmmag about how he keeps it all going, as well as his thoughts about all that is Createful.

Do you need to adapt, or can you change the situat

Do you need to adapt, or can you change the situation?
When we find ourselves in uncomfortable situations and the need to adapt arises, the first question we should ask ourselves is,
“Do I need to adapt, or can we change the situation?”
Eskom has brought on load shedding – a situation to which we must adapt.
Impatience around a certain colleague – which is having a negative effect is a situation where we need to adapt.
The point is that life is fluid and our ability to adapt is based on a growth mindset and a choice.

This picture was captured @afrikaburn in 2016.
In the blink of an eye, the weather changed from clear, calm ad tranquil, to stormy, sandy, and destructive.
Tents tied down, masks, jackets and goggles on. A little bit of adapting needed so that the fun could continue.

Adding a “Sparkle,” of creativity to your life

Adding a “Sparkle,” of creativity to your life.

What do you need to do to feel more creative?

No matter what it is, I believe there are 2 crucial steps needed for the journey to begin. Once taken then the sparkle of creativity can shine.

The Paradox that is certainty. For us to experienc

The Paradox that is certainty.
For us to experience something new we must step into the world of uncertainty. One of the things holding us back from taking the step is that we are unfamiliar with the outcome.
There is no certainty in the uncertainty.
Will we like it or not?
The pros of always wanting certainty are that we will always know what we are going to be experiencing.
The pros of embracing uncertainty is that we will learn new things about ourselves and the experience. Some we will like and some we will not.
Neither is right or wrong they just move us along different trajectories.

This photograph was recently taken during an under-the-city’s- water-carrying-tunnel-tour.
Besides experiencing the dark solitude, and the noise of a city from underneath, I also learned, from the guide, how and why the 1st environmental law was written in Cape Town.

A Journey underneath a city.
Cape Town used to comprise of water carrying canals not to dissimilar to those found in Amsterdam.
In the 1800’s they were covered up forming a warren of tunnels running underneath the city.
It is now a tourist attraction arranged by @tunneltours and it shouldn’t be missed as it’s so much more than just a walk underneath the city.
Thanks Matt @tunneltours for such a fun and informative morning out.

The magical elixir that is walking. Need creative

The magical elixir that is walking.
Need creative inspiration? Walk.
Want to get fitter? Walk.
Want to breathe more? Walk.
Want a mood booster? Walk.
Need a place to think? Walk.
Need a health boost? Walk.
Want to practice mindfulness? Walk.
Want to play? Walk.
Want to connect with nature? Walk.
Need clarity on something? Walk.

Some of my coaching sessions and play suggestions are, “walking!”

The list of benefits related to walking go on and on. What more can I say but, walk. 😊.

This photograph was taken recently in Churchhaven. The beauty of this photo is that it captures the moment of the inspiration for this post

How flying a kite can open us up to more creative inspiration.

Have you ever flown a kite?

If so, you’ll know that it requires both work and relaxation.

As does life.

However, if we don’t see the work and the relaxtion as separate entities, and view them the same, not only does the experience become more fun, but it also opens us up to more creative inspiration…

As this video explains.

"Creativity is not, are you smart?" But rather, "how are you smart?"
This is one of the lines that Renee Lighton – Coach, and program creator and facilitator, dished up during our conversation on the latest episode of the #_createfulness_ podcast.
During our 20-minute chat around, creativity, leadership, and the need to play i.e., #_createfulness_, we discussed some of her captivating points of view like;
"Create the best with what's in front of you."
It's not about "me," it's about "we," as co-creating and collaborations lead to more,
and,
why it’s important to create a safe place to play – in the work environment.
To hear more about this, and so much more, log into the latest episode (#7) of the #_createfulness_ podcast titled, "Creativity it’s not, are you smart?" But rather, "how are you smart?"

Leadership Development for a creative generation.

Leadership Development for a creative generation.

A quick video montage of a recent leadership skills development program I facilitated on behalf of IKASI MEDIA for their film industry wannabes.

Games, discussions, and exercises, all form part of this interactive program which introduces people to leadership skills to help them lead their way through life as opposed to just managing with what life throws at them.

More about this live an online program, including testimonials can be viewed in the 🔗

What "Playing," looks like.
These two young boys were playing with an old scale in an antique store.
Just an old scale.
They were interested in how the dial moved when they put one foot on the platform and moved further when they put both feet on it.
They jostled for turns, laughed, joked, and had fun, without any expectations
All the while asking questions like,
“How?”
“Why?”
“What?”
And saying things like, “imagine if this was a…”
The kinds of questions and statements that lead to creative exploration…and fun.

This picture was taken in Stanford, in a dark antique store. The light from the naked bulb lit up the young boys, illuminating them, playing, having fun, and exploring with their imaginative minds.
