Managing stress, staying focused, and keeping our emotional well-being in check are crucial when you're in the creative field.

In this short episode, I dive into my personal journey with meditation and why I think it's a game-changer for many creatives. I share with you three big benefits of meditating regularly.

You'll hear how I started my meditation journey back in 2007 with a little gem called Meditation for Dummies by Stephen Bodian.

And I also recommend checking out Hurry Up and Meditate by David Michie, if you struggle to make time for meditation.

The key here is consistency: even just a few minutes each day can make a huge difference.

I'd love to hear about your meditation experiences too so feel free to share your stories and tips by dropping me an email at rob@inspirationalcreatives.com

What choices are you making around when you go online?

In this short episode, I invite you to explore your internet usage, more consciously, and the impact it may have on your creative output, health and well-being.

Hear about my attempts to implement a personal "no internet before noon" policy and how I have found taking offline breaks at weekends to improve focus, sleep quality, and use of time.

I invite you to experiment with your own strategies for balancing online and offline time, towards fostering a healthier relationship with technology.

Today I celebrate 10 years of the Inspirational Creatives podcast.

Launched on 24th November 2014, I reflect briefly on my journey of podcasting so far with some personal anecdotes.

This episode also celebrates the launch of part two of a two-part series on 33 ways to live a more prosperous and creative life.

The topic for this episode is about making more conscious choices: ones that serve a better version of you.

I talk about how we can make more conscious choices around money, and what we choose to consume.

I also share some of my personal choices, over the last 8 years, for example, to eat less meat, which is #18 out of the 33 ways.

Hear how I gained inspiration from my wife, Sandra, and William Whitecloud, which has led to a daily ritual of making conscious choices from the moment I wake up.
