AI Prompt of the Week ✨

Boost your AI skills with a weekly dose of Prompt Engineering magic.

Reimagine Your Ideal Day 🌅

Sometimes, breaking out of a creative or motivational rut begins with visualizing something completely fresh. This week’s prompt helps you reimagine your ideal day—then reverse-engineer it to uncover actionable insights for your life or business.

Copy and paste this prompt into ChatGPT to get started:

Imagine that tomorrow will be my perfect day. Guide me through envisioning this ideal day step-by-step. After each step, pause and wait for my response before moving to the next. Start with the first step: “Where am I when I wake up, and what do I notice about my surroundings?” After completing the ideal day, help me analyze patterns, priorities, or themes I can implement in my current routines or goals to bring this vision closer to reality.

Creativity

The Unplanned Pause: Letting Ideas Catch Up to You đź’ˇ

This week, let’s flip the script on creativity. Instead of chasing ideas, let’s give them space to find us. Sometimes, the most creative breakthroughs come when we stop trying and allow.

The Experiment:

  1. Schedule an Unplanned Pause: Set aside 15–20 minutes in your day without a goal. No writing, no recording—just being.
  2. Do Something Mundane: Wash the dishes, walk around the block, or stare out the window. Let your mind wander freely.
  3. Capture What Arrives: Keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby. If an idea surfaces, jot it down. If not, that’s okay—trust that the pause is still working.

Creativity often works best when we give it breathing room. This week, embrace the pause and see what shows up when you stop looking.


Spirituality

The Art of Allowing: Letting Life Flow 🌊

Continuing from Power vs Force last week, we spend so much of our life trying to shape outcomes, pushing against the current. But true peace comes when we step back and let life flow through us, trusting what’s meant for us will arrive.

The Practice:

  1. Notice Where You’re Resisting: Take a moment to reflect—where in your life are you pushing too hard, trying to control?
  2. Breathe and Release: Visualize that resistance as a knot in your body. With each breath, imagine it loosening and dissolving.
  3. Focus on the Present: Shift your attention to what’s in front of you. What small joys or insights are already here that you’ve been missing?

This week, practice allowing rather than forcing. Trust the flow of life and see how much more ease and clarity show up when you let go.


Life Update

"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance."​
— Eckhart Tolle

As my friends in the US celebrate Thanksgiving, I’ve been thinking about gratitude—not as a once-a-year tradition but as a daily practice.

Although Thanksgiving is not celebrated in the UK, that does not mean we can’t take a moment to reflect on what we’re thankful for. Life can get busy, and it’s easy to overlook the small, beautiful things that make it all worthwhile.

So today, I’m inviting myself—and maybe you—to pause and notice the good already present. The simple joys, the lessons learned, and the people who matter most.

Gratitude doesn’t need a particular day. We can carry it with us every day, in every moment.

With love and gratitude for you. ❤️‍🔥🙏
