I think it's particular ingredients these days Because I've had some sensitivities that that came up some years ago a few years ago And then everything was fine.
And then I Think all of a sudden there was something,
You know a life change or something that just threw my body off Whack but I'm reminded daily to go back to what I know Get back as close to nature as possible.
That means even if it's supposedly gluten-free There's still a little ounce of little things that shouldn't be in there So I'm learning I'm learning and learning So I've actually talked about this before on Tiktok actually and I may have posted something on on Instagram before about adding creativity to your business I Know a lot of times during this time of the year You can start to feel the shift a lot of times you may Start to feel a little bit overwhelmed,

But the way you actually Add that is used like Canva or is it pixel or I don't know my husband uses all these different ones But I love Canva and so That's a good way to ask for creativity.
There are some templates available You can create your own templates You can post those on Pinterest.
That is a very creative platform where you can actually You know connect with other like-minded creators and just see all the fun things You can get some inspiration from those that aren't there to create your masterpieces in Canva as well,
So that's a good way to add some creativity like spice it up.
What are your brand colors?
Your brand color save your brand colors are black and green.
I don't know You can find some things you can type in black and green and Pinterest.
I mean black and green in Canva That reminds me to like really Give my Pinterest some tender love and care.
I keep saying Pinterest,
But I digress okay So you can go into Canva and type in different things different elements you can type in if you're you are a a If you're a digital marketer you can type in digital marketing or marketing or internet marketing You can type in Sales or you can so type in social media.
There's a lot of different things you can type in if you are Into sewing you can type in sewing and find some little cute artsy things of sewing like five tips on Sewing or whatever it is and then you can find a little tip five type in five and it'll bring up different Designs that are the number five or so it's you can get so creative You can spend a lot of time in there,
But that's another way I mean you can actually add some creativity if you would like me to do some type of little training Centered around Canva let me know because that would be fun right that's adding creativity to my business.
Thank you All right,
It's so the third thing or third way that you can add creativity to your business Drum roll because three is a great number so the third one has to be great,

No one thinks that's weird I'm telling you try it Try it so meditation Canva or some type of art program and also Video adding video those are three ways you can add creativity to your business So let's get our mind right we have some ideas right and as always Try one thing and see how that goes for you My advice I recommend the first one to really start getting quiet with yourself and getting clear So you can be ready?
For this creativity So take a moment if you need to pause and come back later or If you can find just a spot or just a moment it only it will only take a few moments to get quiet and at this time We are going to use this breathing exercise as our meditative process and This meditative process is to help you to release that creative energy back into your workflow We're gonna start by some deep breathing Always recommend at least holding your breath for three seconds and then releasing So let's take three breaths in breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out The last time breathe in And Breathe out Now as you breathe out you can actually let it go for three as well that way it stays on a rhythm But if you need to linger there for a moment you can linger there.
I want you to make this your own because you are incorporating this as part of your meditation lifestyle Meditation is not just one off And a one-off affair or one-off breathing exercise or moment It is a total process a life style And even if you only have a few moments Throughout your day you owe yourself this time To refocus and to allow that creative energy to flow As you sit quiet for the next few moments You can silently repeat after me I Am activating and releasing creative energy Creative energy I Am activating and releasing creative energy I Am activating and releasing creative energy Believe it feel it Walk into it This is a process what you practice becomes stronger Until next time learn to love and learn to serve bye for now Hey there welcome to episode 126 of conversations with haikini podcast so today we are going to talk about how to add creativity to Your business so grab your smoothie or a cup of tea and join the conversation.
