: 10-Minute Wellness Break ✨ Self Worth

Have a pen + paper handy for this session…

What does “Self Worth” feel/look like for you? Using your pen, try to express it on paper using shapes, marks, words, scribbles, doodles—whatever comes to mind.

Self worth can be affected by external influences, childhood experiences, and internal beliefs.

How can we nurture and improve our sense of self worth? Here are some strategies we can use every day:

• Accept experiences as learning opportunities
• Forgive yourself
• Appreciate your strengths
• Change the lens with which you view yourself
• Be kind to yourself
• Look for quick wins
• Keep promises to yourself
• Manage expectations

Share your thoughts on self worth here, and we will see you again next week!

—with Rhonda Amer @amer.rhonda

: 10-Minute Wellness Break ✨ Confidence

Why do we struggle with confidence and what can we do to build and maintain it?

We talked about the concept of confidence being attached to outcome expectations for any action we take. Confidence is fluid and can fluctuate, and we need to show ourselves grace in lower confidence moments and seasons.

Here are five strategies we can put in place to boost confidence:

1. Take action | Move from the state of being into the state of doing.

2. Celebrate failures | We can always learn + grow from every experience.

3. Celebrate successes | Hooray! High five!

4. Keep promises to yourself | Hold yourself accountable, or find a trustworthy friend to help you stay on track and provide honest feedback.

5. Be gentle with yourself | Speak to yourself as you would a small child learning and growing—with kindness, compassion, and patience

How can you feel a little more confident in this moment? Share your thoughts here.

: It’s taken me a few days to even come close to putting words to one of the most magical experiences of my life.

In November 2020, I developed + launched an online membership space for creative awakenings, mindfulness + play—CAMP. Right away 50 people joined from around the world. Others have come and gone since, though there remains a group who connects weekly on Zoom for our CAMP Picnics, and other online events.

While many are local, and we know each other in person, just as many are from away—from places like India, Ireland, Germany, and all over the US and Canada.

For well over a year, we have been saying “Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could all finally meet in person!? Hugs, laughter, great food, creative play, adventure… Oh, to dream!”

I don’t even remember when we decided to make it happen. It feels like eons ago.

Last week, 15 CAMP members enjoyed four nights together at a cottage along the St. Lawrence River in Brockville, Ontario. Many of us had never met in person. There were SO many hugs, SO many laughs, SO many tears (the good kind), SO many amazing meals, hundreds of photos taken in an attempt to capture every possible memory of this incredible experience.

We truly missed everyone who wasn’t able to join, and we are already chatting about when + where we can come together again.

I heard many times “Joe, you made this happen… You created this space for all of us,” and while that may be true on a technical level, these beautiful humans shared themselves so authentically, it is THEY who fill CAMP with their hearts, minds + spirits, and for that I am immensely grateful ✨

Do you think making deep personal connections over Zoom is impossible? We are living proof that couldn’t be further from the truth.

A small sample of the memories made.

Heart so full 💖

: Last week I enjoyed a lovely catch-up with my sweet friend Rhonda @amer.rhonda —you may remember after my big, scary panic attack last July, she offered me a session of Emotional Freedom Technique and tapping, and holy cow did it help!

We were discussing our current struggles, blocks, and concerns, and decided we needed some sort of regular check-in with ourselves—a quick break to create quiet, stillness, and to center ourselves amid the overwhelm.

And if we are craving this kind of break, maybe you are, too.

✨ How often do you give yourself the gift of self-care and relaxation?

✨ Are you craving a few moments of peace and serenity in your busy week?

✨ Is it time to take a mindful pause and recharge your mind, body, and soul?

✨ Want to discover new ways to nurture your well-being in just 10 minutes?

During our FREE weekly LIVE 10-Minute Wellness Breaks, Rhonda and I will guide you through a gentle journey of self-discovery, through practices like breathwork, meditation, creativity prompts, and journaling.

Embrace the moment as we explore posture and tapping techniques, as well as calming or energizing body movement.

Our time together will be your personal sanctuary to find solace and rejuvenation. In the hustle and bustle of life, we encourage you to take these precious moments for yourself—10 minutes just for you, to unwind, relax, and nurture your mind, body, and soul.

Join us live on Instagram every Wednesday at 10am Eastern, or enjoy our recorded sessions anytime, anywhere.

These 10-Minute Wellness Breaks are completely FREE! All you need to participate is an open mind, come ready to let go, receive + reset… and have a pen/pencil + paper ready for some gentle creativity prompts.

Set your alarm to join us LIVE on Instagram every Wednesday at 9:55am Eastern—we begin promptly at 10am!—and we will see you there!

We are so looking forward to guiding your reconnection to self 💖

: Sometimes really crappy, unexpected things happen.

They may blindside you and knock you right off balance.

In those moments, it’s important—no, critical—to find your center again.

Lean into people and experiences you can trust.

Lean into activities you love.

Lean into yourself, and love yourself until full.

Use what you have…
