#138 - My $1 Million Walk
Hello & welcome back to another episode!Today I want to talk about another passion of mine - and that is walking!I just love walking. It’s something I take time to do every single day – and it has so many magical benefits for you.There is nothing better than starting the day with a beautiful walk outside. Seeing the sun rise. Connecting with nature or my local neighbourhood. Having some time of my own. It’s a beautiful way of getting to know yourself as you listen to your inner voice and connect. And it’s a great opportunity to let yourself be inspired by new dreams, goals and ideas. I often call my morning walk ‘my $1m dollar walk’ and people laugh. But the truth is, on my walks is when I come up with most of my big ideas. Creative ideas. Product ideas. Content ideas. Dreams I want to work on for myself, my family and for the world. Ideas for solving challenges… I could go on.Most of us can walk regardless of level of fitness or any health-related issues. You can walk anywhere - and its free!Some of the things you'll learn in this episode:The many benefits of a daily walk – including reducing stress and stimulating creative ideas.How to easily motivate yourself to get out and walk – and simple hacks to take away the barriers.How to use your walking time to keep up with podcasts or books you love.How journaling quickly after a walk can have so much value for you.…and much more!Walking stimulates so many ideas for me and every time I go for a walk, I take notes. Sometimes on my phone, other times in a small notebook. Then on my return, I take a little time to use my Dream Life Walking Journal to record my experience, thoughts, and ideas – making it a beautiful ritual - which is what I encourage you to do too.With a glass of water, a cup of tea or your morning coffee, journal away about where you walked, how you felt, what you thought about, the insights you had, the ideas it stimulated… anything that comes to mind. And any actions that come from that.Look back over your journal from time to time and observe the patterns in your experiences and thoughts. …and keep this journal handy for when you come back from a walk, creating a beautiful walking ritual of your own.I can’t wait to hear what you think and would love to hear if you love walking too – so please let me know in our Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here or in the comments section below. Have a wonderful week!I’ll be back next week with another guest so be sure you’re subscribed to the podcast, so you don’t miss.

Learn about The 12 Hour Walk here…WALKING QUOTES:“When the crowd is headed in the wrong direction, walk alone.” - Matshona Dhliwayo“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” John Muir“If you seek creative ideas go walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.’ - Raymond Inmon“A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world.” - Paul Dudley White"A walk in nature walks the soul back home."“All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.” - Friedrich Nietzsche“Walking is man's best medicine.” – Hippocrates“I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” - John Muir“If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.” - Dolly Parton“Walking brings me back to myself.” - Laurette Mortimer“A morning walk gives the body a chance to forgive the trials and tribulations of yesterday, to shed its rubbish and mental clutter.” - Terri Guillemets“Walking: the most ancient exercise and still the best modern exercise.” - Carrie Latet“The longest journey begins with a single step.” - Pantanjali“Our first steps are among the most celebrated milestones of our youth. But for some reason, as we age, walking gets taken for granted. That's puzzling, since walking is one of the most comprehensive, and safest, fitness routines available. All you need is a good pair of walking shoes and socks, and you are good to go.” - Brion O'Connor“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.” - Soren Kierkegaard“The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk.” - Jacqueline Schiff“Walking is a year-round activity and need not be confined to the dry summer months, for there is as much beauty to be found in the countryside in the leafless months of winter as in vibrant spring and the golden days of autumn.” - Kev Reynolds“Although there are many ways to achieve a healthier lifestyle, walking is proven to have the highest success rate because people are less likely to quit doing it than with other physical activities.” - Samantha Morgan“The compact between writing and walking is almost as old as literature -- a walk is only a step away from a story, and every path tells.” - Robert MacfarlaneRESOURCES:Buy my book Your Dream Life Starts Here.Take your first step to getting clarity on what you want from life with this free bonus dreaming exercise here 101 Dreams Audio Guide Learn more about my Habit Club here.Learn more about my Personal Growth / Book Club - GROW here.Help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeShop inspiring & meaningful products at The Dream Life Store here.Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on FacebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi there and welcome back to another episode!Magnus Helgesson is a friend and one of the most positive and inspiring people I know.Now a sought-after high performance mental coach & speaker, after starting his first company at 12yo Magnus achieved his dream of becoming a self-made millionaire by the age of 21 …but describes that day as being “one of the saddest days of my life”.It was however a pivotal moment that led him to realise that there is so so much more to life than money – and his focus turned from getting rich to helping others and contributing to the world.His story is one of 'owning his own life' - and as you join us for this rollicking conversation, you’ll get many insights on how to own your own life.Some of the key things you'll learn in this episode:How owning your life demands that you move outside of your comfort zone – embracing discomfort.Why it’s important ‘not to quit’.The importance of helping other people - to fulfil a basic spiritual need we all have.How everything starts with believing you can and the importance of then taking action.How important it is to have a strong ‘reason why’.How important it is for you to have role models.The power of reading and continual learning.How to create new thought patterns by asking yourself the right questions (and 3 key questions to ask yourself).The value of listening to your heart and trusting your intuition.…and how stopping yourself from ‘blaming’ will help you own your life – creating a profound and life changing mind shift to have you seeing bad things that have happened TO you as learning experiences you appreciate because they happened FOR you. Changing your focus to learning and growing from life’s challenges – and helping you move forward from adversity.

#133 - The Magic of Morning Pages Journaling
Hello and welcome to another episode!Years ago I read a wonderful book, The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. A beautiful book which teaches techniques and exercises to assist people in gaining self-confidence to harness their creative talents.One of the techniques recommended was ‘stream of consciousness writing’. Just dumping onto paper what-ever is in your head at any given time.Over time I evolved the practice - called ‘Morning Pages’ – and most mornings for the last decade or so I sit in a quiet place with a blank journal and pen, a cup of tea, a favourite candle lit nearby, and I write…It's become a valuable ritual for me and maybe it's something for you too?"In particular, when things are difficult, I find it so helpful."So much so that when people ask me how I managed to not get burned out as I started and grew kikki.K for over 20 years - working at a hectic pace - I tell them it's thanks to my ritual of Morning Pages journaling.I write whatever comes to mind. Literally just writing in the way that I think. Dumping thoughts on paper as they come... helping me clear my head and heart and set me up for the day ahead.Some of the key things you'll learn in this episode:How to go about Morning Pages journaling.How beneficial it has been for me as a morning ritual and why it might be for you too.How to just keep your hand moving and write - as if no-one will ever read what you've written.Not to worry about being logical or 'right' as you write.If you're interested then you can read more about it here...And you can browse our new Dream Life Morning Pages journals here...

#132 - LOVE, LOSS & THE MAGICAL HEALING POWER OF NATURE, with Indira Naidoo
Hi there and welcome back to another episode.You will be deeply inspired and moved by my guest today, the wonderful Indira Nadu, a highly respected and popular journalist, broadcaster and author.During her 30-year award winning career in journalism, Indira has hosted and reported for some of the country's most distinguished news and current affair programs, but nothing had prepared her for what came two years ago.In the grip of a global pandemic, Indira’s beloved youngest sister walked out into her suburban backyard and took her life. Indira’s world was shattered.Turning to her urban landscape for solace, she found herself drawn to a fig tree overlooking Sydney Harbor. A connection began to build between the two - one with a fractured heart, the other a centurion, offering quiet companionship while asking nothing in return.The Space Between the Stars is the heart-rending book she wrote about her experience and is well described by actor David Wenham as, “A tender, touching and at times bloody funny meditation on life. And death. And how to live.”Sitting in on our conversation in this episode, you’ll be inspired by Indira’s insatiable curiosity for people and the world - and how she was eventually able to refocus on the positives of the 48 years she had with her sister rather than the loss…Her story is a wonderful example of what Ernest Hemingway may have meant when he said so well, “Write hard and clear about what hurts.”Putting things on paper – for yourself or others - allowing yourself to be open even if it feels like the hardest or most painful thing you've ever done, can be so helpful.Some of the key things you'll learn in this episode:Practical insights into how to deal with grief – including not being afraid of it.How to support other people dealing with grief.The healing power of nature.How journaling and the process of writing can help make sense of emotions and bring perspective.How silver linings can be found even in the deepest and most raw situations.The beauty of being part of a community.How when dealing with grief or tragedy, asking ‘What meaning is there in this for me?’ is more helpful that asking ‘Why?’. I know you’ll enjoy this episode – and I’d LOVE to hear what you took from it – so please let me know in our Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here or in the comments section below. Sharing with like-minded people is inspiring for us all.I trust this episode inspires you to pick up a journal and start writing regularly – to experience the many benefits of putting pen to paper, even if just for yourself. Browse our beautiful journals here if you need a new one.And please share this episode with anyone you know who is going thru grief.I’ll be back next week with another guest so be sure you’re subscribed to the podcast, so you don’t miss.

#131 – What’s Holding You Back?
Hi there and welcome back to another episode!First, thank you so much for all the wonderful feedback from the last episode with the super inspiring Lisa Lemke. Much of the feedback was about Lisa’s down-to-earth approach to ‘making friends with death’ – which really resonated with so many of you. So, if you haven’t listened to it yet, here’s the link…This week I want to talk about something that happens to all of us some time. Losing momentum and feeling a bit lost.Sometimes it’s just a temporary thing, but sometimes there’s some strong underlying pull or core issue that holds us back from making our dream life a reality.So, in this episode, I’m sharing some tips & approaches I use when I need to work through what’s holding me back. Some of the key things you'll learn in this episode:My process for journaling to get unstuck. The best way I’ve found to work through things is by getting them down on paper. It can be as scrappy as you like, but there’s something about the tactile nature of putting pen to paper that I find super helpful – as I know many of you do too.How having clarity about what you want from life is always the starting point - and how to take the first to getting clarity.How reflective journaling - guided by various questions in each of your key life areas – will help you discover what it is that’s holding you back, so you can take action to move forward the way you want. I hope you enjoy this episode – and I’d LOVE to know what’s holding you back – so please let me know in our Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here or in the comments section below. Sharing with like-minded people is inspiring for us all.And as always, if you need some support – you can join my personal growth / book club GROW, my Habit Club or my online Dream Life course. Just visit www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com to learn more.I hope this episode inspires you to take action and work out what is holding you back – and that once you know – you can start working on moving past that and on to creating your dream life, whatever that means for you.I’ll be back next week with another guest so be sure you’re subscribed to the podcast, so you don’t miss.…and browse our beautiful journals here if you need a new one.Love,Dream Life Founder SHOW NOTES:Take your first step to getting clarity on what you want from life with this free bonus dreaming exercise here 101 Dreams Audio Guide Learn more about my Personal Growth / Book Club - GROWhere.Learn more about my Habit Clubhere.Join the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Grouphere - and jump into discussions and learning with like-minded people.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review!

Hi there and welcome back to another episode!At the time of recording it’s getting close to end of July 2022 and that means we've got 6 months to go in 2022! I can’t quite believe it.So, it’s time for a bit of a reset to make the most of 2022 - and in this episode I share some tips on how to do that.In particular, it's a great time to ask yourself the following questions - taking time to reflect and answer - and take the suggested actions:What went well the last 6 months?What were the key challenges in all the areas of your life?Am I clear on what my dreams and goals are for this year?Once you are clear on what you want to do, achieve, have or become for the next 6 months, choose your top 3 Dreams to chaseThen brainstorm everything you need to do to achieve each of these 3 dreams or goals and then choose the most important 7 actions.Make sure that at least one of the 7 actions is a WHO action – who can help or support you? Who has done what I want to do so I can learn from them? This could be learning from a person, mentor or coach but it can also be an online course, a podcast or a book.Decide on one action you will take in the next 24 hours – starting is the hardest part – so start with just one small action.Then put in the diary when you will be working on your dreams and goals – even if you are not quite sure how long things will take etc, start blocking time out in your diary to take action.One of the things that comes up for me, when I haven’t achieved what I set out to achieve, is to see what I need to read to get my inspiration back.This could be a book for a specific dream or goal – or you may want to consider reading the book we're reading in GROW – my personal growth / book club for July - The Success Principles by Jack Canfield.I love this book so much and it’s a perfect book to read for a 6 months reset.I hope you're inspired and excited to re-set your year and get moving to make the final half of 2022 the best it can be.
