In this episode, I'll be sharing a powerful, yet fun tool to open up, dive in, and free up your ideas. It's the Journal and Play!book by SARK.I first met SARK at Transitions Bookstore in Chicago. SARK is well-known for her Living Juicy books.She introduced us to this journal as a way of continuing a journey to our creative spirits, to put our creative spirit in action. She wanted to make a journal more of a companion She even calls it an inspiration sandwich, stories to inspire our creative freedom. For me, I found this journal and playbook to be full of suggestions and inspirations, affirmations, and ways to play on paper. If you've never journaled before I highly recommend it.If you have journaled in a blank diary before, but felt it wasn't really productive or fueling your creativity, then try this book: SARK’s Journal and Play!book, a place to dream while awake.Learn about the book at www.amazon.com/Sarks-Journal-Play-BookConnect with SARK at planetsark.comThanks to you for being among the first listeners of our new podcast.Connect with me on LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/stinsonmarkFollow me on Facebook facebook.com/markstinsonauthorAnd visit my website at mark-stinson.com(I host my podcast with Captivate, the world's only growth-oriented podcast host™ - you can too, and get your first 7-days on me! www.captivate.fm/signup )
