Being distracted by the creativity and colour around you is not actually a distraction, it's an essential part of warming your brain up to be at its most creative.

At least that's what I'm telling myself 😂

No, really, we all feel brain fog or overload at times and yet have to rush to the next meeting, session or job.

But this is such a quick antidote - and not just will it release your brain from its foggy overload, but you will find fresh perspective and an ability to think differently in its place.

Allow yourself to be distracted today 💛

My piece of sky is connected to yours.

Reminding myself that the sky that I see, whilst breathtaking and inspiring, is only one part of an almost infinite whole.

❓If my piece of sky inspires me to creative thought and action (which it does) how much more might your piece of sky inspire me?

💡Find someone to connect with this week that adds to your sky. And share yours with them too 💛

How are your 2026 hopes and dreams coming along?

Can you guess what I'm looking forward to more of in 2026?

I might be creative, but I'm also a planner - whether it's day-to-day life, adventures, workshops, business goals or a creative project. So in this in-between season I'm busy planning for the year ahead?

So here are some of my 2025 memories that I'm hoping there'll be more of in 2026 - any guesses??

What are you hoping to have or do more of in 2026?

If it's creativity and creative thinking at work then I'm with you 💛

Do you have an idea for an enterprise or project that keeps circling in your head, but you’re not quite sure if it will work, where to start, or how to talk about it?

Going round in circles with an ideacan be exhausting!

�Especially when your idea has meaning, when you want your work to do more than just make money and you think you have an idea to make that work.

If you’re starting 2026 with a seed of an idea and wondering if it’s “good enough”, you’re not alone.

And I'm here to help...

Here are just 3 ways to get that idea out of your head and closer to reality, without pressure, hustle, or having it all figured out.

1. Be curious. Give yourself permission to explore the idea, to even entertain the thought of it being a possibility. Just see what happens.

2. Visualise it. Whatever is your go to - drawing, writing, making from junk - pick one and see what the idea looks like when it's outside of your head.

3. Talk about it. Speak it out loud to yourself or a trusted friend and see how you feel. Does it excite you? Do more details flow?

If you need more ideas of how to explore your idea creatively, or want to be supported in the journey, I'm running a small group workshop in January that'll help you do just that.

Get fresh perspective 💛

“If everyone is thinking alike, then no-one is thinking” Franklin

Want to move forwards, solve a problem or innovate?

You need to think differently. Differently from everyone else and even differently from how you have before.

Not sure how? Good news! 

You CAN train your brain to look at things differently?  Try this 👇

➡️ Take a photo of something from a distance

➡️ Repeat, but zoomed in as far as you can go

➡️ Study the zoomed-in photo and ask 👇

❓What do you see that you didn’t before?

❓What’s missing?

❓What’s essential? What are the core components?

❓What could be removed?

❓How would you describe this to someone who hasn’t seen it?

Ready to try this at work? 👇

🤯Use this to identify ways to improve your offers or solve a problem

✅Try this as a quick team meeting starter to engage the team and hear their input

🌱You can also do the opposite and zoom out to see what else is impacting the problem or offer

🌟TIP: If you can’t use an image, use a photo that can ask as a metaphor

👇Want to feel more creative? Want to know how to think more creatively?

You're in the right place 💛

Check out today's step by step guide: SEE BEYOND THE OBVIOUS below 👇.......

#1 See beyond the obvious*

This exercise will stretch and sharpen your ability to reframe a challenge
Let's go 👇

➡️Find an image with a person in it - from a magazine, a piece of junk mail or even your phone
They will be the subject of your story for this exercise

➡️Look at it. And ask 'What do they need?'

❓Did you think of an object? Don't worry, most people do.

➡️Look at it again. Maybe close your eyes and climb into the picture. Ask them 'What do they need?'. BUT this time only use verbs (doing words like jump, apologise and explain) to answer.

❓Got one? Great!

➡️Now come with at least 5 more. Ask 'What else' do they need? Not sure, look at what they are doing, or trying to do - what might they need to achieve this?

Nearly there...

➡️Highlight one of your verbs and ask 'Why does that need exist?' We're looking to dig deep here, so keep asking why until you feel you've really got into the story

🌟Don't forget to use your imagination!

➡️Lastly, on a sticky note, suggest at least 3 solutions you could offer to resolve the need in your story.....
Here's how my example panned out 👇

👉Photo of a barrister and a jury
👉Verbs: convince, explain, evaluate, speak, sit and be heard
👉 I dug in and asked 'why does she need to be heard?'
👉Answer: to get her point across; she's lost several cases and needs to win; she's losing her confidence
👉Possible solution? Have voice and presentation coaching to gain confidence and clarity in speech

🤯Use this to grow your creative mindset and to stretch your creative thinking muscles - to think differently takes practice.

✅Try this on your own or with a team

🦺You can also use this for real work applications. What about these images👇

➡️A customer looking at items in your shop (or at home and ordering)
❓What do they need (to convince them to buy)?
➡️A team member struggling to fit in
❓What do they need (to feel like part of the team)?
➡️A dream client looking at your Instagram feed😉
❓What do they need (to want to sign up to your email)?

Sometimes the best ideas or solutions come when you stop looking

I always take time to play with creativity, to explore, and allow my mind to wander.

It's not always about the finished product (although this can be a nice bonus 😁)

👉 But honestly, give it a go...

You’ll be surprised what shows up when you give yourself permission (and a little bit of time) to do the same
