Loading ...It’s so easy to spend hours at the computer working with what I do - writing and internet marketing. But there is one thing that I learned - if I spend too much time at it, I plateau. No new ideas, losing my gusto for the ideas I do have… In order to get fresh material I need to get out into the world. This is something I still need to work on. Here are some things I enjoy:
Fitness. I make time each day to go to the gym. Three days a week I go to my tae kwon do class. The other two or three days a week I spend doing cardio. I also walk with a weighted backpack throughout the week whenever I feel like it to get in shape for hiking. And I also hike on the weekends.
Foraging. This is one of my biggest hobbies. I’m an herbalist so I like to get out there in the woods and in chemical free lawns and go nuts. I have chickweed growing under my water faucet, lambs quarters growing in some of my flower pots, and there are dandelions all over the place. It’s satisfying knowing that my lunch was fresh picked and come from outside.
Arts and crafts. I want to learn how to draw. I love crochet. I tinker with soft pastels. I even enjoy coloring. I can’t even remember the last time I completed a craft project. It’s been at least a year.
Books. I love to read but I don’t do enough of it. So today I think I am heading to the book store to see what’s new in the literary world and see if I can find some new magazines to query.
Music. I love to sing, I want to learn guitar, and I’m always listening to music. The great thing about this is I can listen to music while working. But I can only listen to classical and downtempo (bistro music) while working otherwise I’ll just be tempted to sing or dance. So I need to make time for musical pursuits beyond that.
Cooking. I love cooking. It has been SO LONG since I hit the kitchen and followed a new recipe. Food writing is also a great joy. It’s been over a year since I’ve had any food articles published.
This is a good jumping off point and I see the potential for some niche sites and blogs in here. What kinds of things do you guys enjoy? Can you turn any of them into any business ideas or articles?
We really enjoy your writings! Just keeping it real, Something simple enough for the average person to understand and participate in.
In Agreement from the very start. A person has to stay connected to the source if they are to find their true purpose or otherwise good works within their joys. ( hope fully their Joy is their work or what they do for a living. But sadly enough it seems that many people never find the one thing that brings them joy “Their passion”
Daniel and I are athletes at heart and I can honestly tell u that something dies inside of us when we are not playing that game that we love so much. We spent so many years and are still pursuing Football through coaching and playing you can check me out @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3Btz7fNmxk

We love movies and any time that we get a chance we turn one on. We find that their is always a lesson to be learned if you are paying attention.
Their is room for improvement though! making sure that we take the time to connect with the Source. Perhaps this is the key for True inspiration.
We try to make sure that our Work is always Helping People find or Grow within what they love so much. through this we have found it very hard to step away from our work. It seems as their is so little time and so many people to affect.
We spend alot of our time as well in our Non Profit organization working with high school youth. That is such a treat as well and alot of ideas are sparked from the needs of all those around us
Thanks for the time that you put in to your work.
