AI Prompt of the Week ✨

Embracing the Negative Space: What’s Missing?

AI often mirrors our thoughts, agreeing with whatever we give it. If you ask AI, "Do you like this?" it will invariably say yes. But we want a critical friend, not a nodding yes man, to strengthen our ideas and thinking.

There is a simple and powerful way to flip the script.

This week’s prompt explores negative space—the gaps in thinking, the overlooked, the unspoken. By prompting ChatGPT to question what's missing, you can uncover deeper insights and creative breakthroughs.

Copy and paste this prompt into ChatGPT to get started:

Asking questions like this causes the AI to work harder, producing much stronger outputs. It will also challenge you to think deeper! Win-win.

Creativity

Filling the Gaps: Let the Missing Pieces Speak 🌀

Let’s incorporate this concept into your creative process by continuing the negative space theme. Sometimes, the most powerful breakthroughs happen when we uncover what’s missing—the things we don’t know.

The Experiment:

1. Revisit Your Work: Pull up a piece of writing, video, or idea you’ve been working on.
2. Ask the AI: Use ChatGPT to identify what’s missing. Prompt it with: “Here’s my idea/work-in-progress. What perspectives, gaps, or angles might I be overlooking?”
3. Explore the Negative Space: Reflect on the AI’s response. What resonates? What surprises you? Let those gaps inspire your next move.

This week, let the unknown guide your creativity. By questioning what's missing, you may discover the ideas that make your work unforgettable.

Spirituality

The Wisdom in the Space Between 🌌

In spirituality, as in life, the most profound truths often reside in the spaces we overlook. The pause between the in-breath and out-breath, the silence in a conversation where true listening happens, the unspoken moment when everything feels still. As Lao Tzu reminds us, “We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.”

The Practice:

1. Breathe into the Pause: Sit quietly and focus on your breath's natural rhythm. Pay attention to the moment of stillness between your exhale and inhale.
2. Create Space in Conversations: The next time you speak with someone, pause for an extra beat before you reply. Listen deeply, not just to their words but to what’s underneath them.
3. Honor the Emptiness: Instead of filling every moment with activity or thought, let some remain open. Trust that these pauses hold their own kind of magic.

This week, notice the spaces between. It’s there, in the quiet and unfilled, where life speaks the loudest. 🌿

Life Update

Lately, I've felt like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, caught in the swirling chaos of a tornado. Pieces of my world are spinning around me, unsure where or how they’ll land. It’s unsettling but also oddly transformative.

Dorothy’s journey didn’t begin until the storm dropped her somewhere new. I’m starting to see my turbulence as part of that same process—an upheaval that creates space for unexpected growth and clarity.

In the eye of the storm, I’ve been practising presence. A slow breath, a quiet pause, a moment to let the whirlwind be. It’s not easy, but I trust that when the storm settles, the landscape will look different—and maybe, just maybe, brighter.

If you’re in your own tornado, I hope you find a moment to pause and trust the process. Sometimes, the storm is what carries us to where we’re meant to be.

With love and gratitude ❤️‍🔥🙏,
Colin
