S1.E7 - Creative Thankfulness
01/31/22 • 30 min
Welcome to Episode 7 of The Clueless Creatives Podcast "Creative Thankfulness".
In this episode, we unpack the past month for myself and my creative journey and chat mindset and motivation - we take a look at the highs, the lows, and the necessity to remember to be thankful along this creative journey no matter what.
We unpack the mindset difference between PRODUCTION VALUE perspective and OPPORTUNITY VALUE perspective and the little things I've done this month to shift my perspective to the OPPORTUNITY VALUE and to remember all the opportunities that I have and to be thankful for in this crazy creative journey!
Since we're chatting thankfulness I just want to say a big thanks to everyone who has listened so far. It means the world that you have taken the time to listen in and to give feedback and share the podcast with those who you think would benefit from this community. For me, it's not about the number of listeners but it's all about the impact that a positive creative community can have on one another and I just want to say thank you so much for doing exactly that.
You guys are awesome and I look forward to this creative journey with you!

In this episode, I share the following quote that inspired me this past month to help me shift my perspective.
It’s all in your head - Russ
“Get lost in playing the game and stop worrying about the points. Points are just small tokens put there to distract and limit you. If you play for the points, you will get rich and stop trying. Play for the love of the game”

And here is my new business, podcast, and personal creative mantra to help myself stay focused when things become distracting, to help me know what kinds of projects I want to focus on, and what kind of guests I want to feature on this podcast over the next 12 months!
The new creative mantra
Through our stories, we amplify the voice of those in pursuit of living life wholly, with passion and authenticity. We tell these stories to inspire that call - the call to pursue the extraordinary in life.

Together we'll pull back the curtain on my personal creative journey, we chat business, mindset, and motivation, have some laughs, and together, well... we'll figure this whole thing out.
It's gonna be a great journey together.

S1.E8 - How to find more Joy, Passion, and Perspective in life
Welcome to Episode 8 of The Clueless Creatives Podcast "How to find more Joy, Passion, and Perspective in life".
In this episode, we unpack the hard questions to ask ourselves, we talk about my shower meditation, and I bring up my favourite motivation movie of all time.
_____
The day-to-day life can become pretty mundane, can’t it? The endless rat race or the chasing after achievements or money. A pretty major thing that gets taken from us on and off in life is the joy in life. Doing the things that you love and the things that give you life.
At the end of all this, I just want to say that you’re worth it. You’re worth choosing and pursuing a life with more joy, more passion, and at the end more meaning for yourself whatever that looks like.
I just want to encourage you, ask yourself this week and in the weeks to come, what am I doing to feed passion and joy in my life? I know it can be tough and I know it can be difficult and you won’t always have the capacity to do it and that’s totally okay.
But if you become complacent with it and neglect to love yourself enough to do those things then you continue to live the life of just getting by and in the end, I can tell you that you will want more.
So here are the two questions for you.
1. What are you doing to feed your life with passion and joy this week?
2. What is something you've done this week that you're proud of?
And if you feel you have never answered this question or feel like you for some reason can’t answer, then there's something very simple that you have to do, something that takes a small act of faith and an act of self-love. It doesn't have to be grand or life-altering, it's just something simple and it starts with the small things.
Simply have to answer the call...
The call to pursue a life lived wholly, with passion and authenticity.
