Seven Ways to feel good, more beautiful and strong inspired by the DOVE Real Beauty Sketches ad.
The podcast has all the full details on but these show notes are for quick reference. Learn how to find yourself irresistible, fall in love with yourself and from there the world will be a better place for yourself and others.
Thus you will be able to create from a place of joy and freedom. As Liz Ranken said in our interview, you have to get the ego out of the way and let the work come through.
So first thing in the morning do the following 5 tips at least (should take you about 5 mins max), ideally get Tips 6 and 7 done too!
First Tip Think specifically of one part of you that is beautiful and/or strong, your boobs, biceps, skin.
Second Tip Find one specific thing you are grateful for regards your physical health and well being eg I can bend down and tie my shoe laces. Be positive!
Third Tip Pick a specific spiritual or human to human positive thing you did yesterday for example “I was really kind to X, even though she always seem to have exactly the same problems with men, I listened and was compassionate”, or “I was honest and clear with her about her choices of consistently unavailable men”
Tip Four On a creative aspect or in work and life think of something you are proud of. ‘I struggled to get my degree but I got it’, ‘I made a phone call I didn’t want to’, ‘I paid off and closed my credit card’.
Tip Five Glen Walford reminded me of this technique with her own special twist to it. She is a great director and actress and among her many theatre productions she has directed some of Willy Russell’s plays including Shirley Valentine with Meera Syal that I saw and loved. She is an amazing director and creative who really reminded me of why I want to act, and can bring out things in you you had forgotten were there 😉
Stand in the room and say from a place of truth ‘I am very beautiful’ and believe it three times
Then “I am very powerful” three times
Then mix them up, feel how your words change how you stand and feel, how the energy in the room changes as does how we change how we feel.
Water Crystal Research and Interview (from 13.00)by Dr Masaro Emotu
Everything in existence vibrates – see the crystal move to different kinds of music. Even exposure to negative written words (23.00) is amazing to see in water crystals.

Tip Six Daily Exercise, ideally first thing in the morning, even 15 minutes or a lunchtime walk to the shops
Tip Seven Accept a thank you or a compliment with grace.
Minimum Seven days, ideally a month of doing this every day.
Just remember someone has looked at you and thought about you that you are beautiful and strong, as a child a teenager, as a grown person.
The weekly tracking – Yours and mine 😉
This podcast newsletter sets a 13 minute creative exercise and then our weekly tracking where I encourage you to do an end of week think back on what has been done, produced, worked on, booked and paid for creatively. (I don’t mean you are doing ‘creative accounting”!)
Whether you are a full time painter or a 40 hours a week office administrator who sings on the side, this is to encourage you to keep creating and make the world a better place, one song, poem, piece of art at a time.
The following is what we need to track each week as a look back in brief, full explanations are in the podcast is here
How many CV’s and emails did you send out for creative work?
How many creative jobs did you actually do, whether 8 shows a week, a gallery opening or a song in a children hospice?
How many auditions and meetings for creative projects?
How many classes and workshops did you do?
How much practise done that week, how much each day?
How much money made through your creative pursuits?
What marketing of your creative output did you do and what revenue generation plans put in place?
Did you learn or see anything new or worth exploring creatively?
If it is zero then don’t feel guilty, just look at the coming week and endeavour to do better. Each week track these statistics and review the same day every week. Your creativity and bank balance will thank you for it!

The dance music I use Londontown, is a track I wrote years ago and Andrew Hyde and I are currently working on 3 remixes of it. We will be releasing it very soon as a dance track, dub step mix and bar mix. I figured if I was going to podcast I may as well use my own tune! The other bits of music are me, my inspiration and whatever instrument is lying around!!.
