The response to the Fundamentals of Prenatal Yoga Teaching workshop invitation has been incredible. Thank you for being drawn to support, guide and inspire pregnant students and new moms. I want to understand where you are on your teaching path now, so I can support you better in the workshop. Do you have a minute to answer one question?   If a pregnant person asked you to teach them a 20-minute practice right now, what would be your biggest worry or question? You can reply with a sentence, a few words, or whatever comes to mind. I read and reply to every email. And if you’re busy, no pressure to respond. I’m looking forward to connecting with you. With gratitude and support, Jessica Fundamentals of Prenatal Yoga Teaching 02/12/2026 09:00 9-10:30am PT / 12-1:30pm ET Zoom link for your calendar: https://mayoga.zoom.us/s/82665959292

How do you train your brain to think inventively? What a fantastic question. Thanks to Aden from Sydney for sharing it. Here is the question in full, as I’m sure all of us can relate to his thoughts:

“G’day Richard, thanks for this opportunity. Mate, I’m a positive, creative guy – in business and in life – but after a year of committing to a specific agenda, I find I’m stuck in a slump struggling to channel new, great, inventive ideas. My question is: how do you reignite your brain to think inventively? What techniques or strategies do you use to fire up these areas of the mind?”

I’ve had many moments like this throughout my life. Sometimes the ideas roll in thick and fast, and other times it feels like your mind is churning through concrete! I think the big issue here is the narrow agenda you’ve been focusing on. It’s difficult to be inventive when you’re looking down. It reminds me of a time when a Virgin CEO came to me with a cohesive strategy for the brand – something I’ve never been too focused on.

It was a brilliant strategy, so I told him to go for it, but I did warn him to not get too bogged down in it. It’s easy to get tunnel vision when you focus on a very specific agenda. Then it becomes difficult to spot unique opportunities that might not fit into your strategy/agenda, but do fit into the big picture. I always say that business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming. Still, it sure feels good to run and jump on the first bus. If you want to spark some creativity and make exciting decisions, zoom out from the strategy, and keep your eyes peeled on the big picture (and the big buses!)

Here are a few other things that help me stay creative and inventive:

1. Constantly ask questions and remain curious about everything. Wherever I go and whoever I’m with, I ask dozens and dozens of questions a day. I’m an innately curious person, and I’ve learnt to really harness this throughout my career. I try to observe everything I see and think deeply about the things I hear. It’s a great way to develop better products and services (because you’re more tuned in than your competitors), and it’s a wonderful way to generate ideas. No ChatGPT required!

2. Listen, deeply. I say this a lot, but it is one of the most simple yet effective ways to spark creativity and come up with new ideas. The key here is to listen deeply to everyone. It’s not about only tuning in to motivational speakers, CEOs and shareholders. It’s also listening deeply to neighbours, baristas, employees, customers, and so on. If you want to open up your eyes, you’ve got to speak to people with different perspectives. Whenever I’m on a Virgin Atlantic or Virgin Australia flight, I chat to our passengers and ask them plenty of questions. It’s a great way to hear genuine feedback and refine your product. When I was on a Virgin Voyages ship recently, I sat down at the chess table and played back-to-back games with a bunch of sailors. I’m certain I learnt more from them than they learnt from me.

3. To be inventive, don’t try too hard to be inventive. My best ideas often come when I’m on holidays, or when I’m hiking, cycling, hitting a tennis ball, reading a book, sitting around the dinner table (or dancing on it), and playing with my grandkids. You’ve got to look up and out if you want to be visionary.

4. Surround yourself with interesting people and give them the confidence to share their most abstract ideas. Then repeat steps 1 and 2.

5. Write everything down. This is another piece of advice I share often, but I can’t stress it enough. I carry a notepad with me everywhere I go, and whenever I hear or see something interesting or unusual, I write it down. When you look back through your notes, you’ll often piece together the bones of a good idea. You’ll notice patterns that spark a line of thought that would have never occurred if you hadn’t recorded all these tiny moments and pieced them together.

6. Have fun. If you’ve stopped having fun, stop what you’re doing, and figure out how you can do it in a more fun way. Just by doing this, you’re being inventive. And you can’t be creative if you’re not having fun. People don’t focus on this enough!

Aden, I really hope this helps. It’s been a good reminder for myself too.

Until next month,

Richard

Finding True Happiness: A State of Mind and Being

Porch Sukkah is up thanks to @+1 (805) 796-9816 and Asha working in the rain!! Stop by on Sunday and the rest of the week to bless the lulav and etrog

In today’s fast-paced world, where success is often measured by external achievements, it’s easy to lose sight of what true happiness really means. As we celebrate Sukkot, a joyous Jewish holiday, it serves as a reminder that the ultimate happiness lies not in what we achieve, but in cultivating a state of mind and being. This blog aims to explore the essence of true happiness and its universal relevance, creating a meaningful connection for both Jewish and non-Jewish individuals alike.

1. Embracing Sukkot’s Message:
Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a time when Jewish communities come together to build temporary shelters and dwell in them for seven days. This act of dwelling in fragile structures teaches us the importance of appreciating the present moment and finding joy in simplicity. Regardless of our faith, we can all learn from this practice by embracing gratitude, mindfulness, and the pursuit of true happiness beyond material possessions.

2. Shifting Our Perspective:
True happiness cannot be solely dependent on external circumstances or achievements. It is a state of mind that transcends the ups and downs of life. By shifting our perspective and focusing on inner growth, self-compassion, and meaningful connections, we can experience a profound sense of fulfillment. This shift allows us to find happiness within ourselves and radiate it to others, fostering unity and understanding among individuals from diverse backgrounds.

3. Cultivating Mindfulness:
Mindfulness, the practice of being fully present in the moment, plays a vital role in attaining true happiness. By intentionally engaging in activities and appreciating the beauty around us, we can enhance our overall well-being. Sukkot encourages us to connect with nature, reminding us of the inherent joy found in simplicity and the interconnectedness of all living beings. This mindfulness practice transcends religious boundaries, providing a common ground for people of all backgrounds to experience and share happiness.

4. The Power of Connection:
One of the core principles of Sukkot is the importance of community and fostering relationships. True happiness flourishes when we engage with others, embrace diversity, and build meaningful connections. By acknowledging and celebrating our shared humanity, we can create a united front of happiness that transcends religious and cultural differences. Together, we can promote understanding, empathy, and the pursuit of a collective well-being.

This Sukkot, let us unite in our pursuit of true happiness, bringing people of all backgrounds together in a shared journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.

Michel Pascal and HOMMM.xyz states, “CALM THE MIND”.  Most of you know that for the last 21 years Good News has been involved with The International Day of Peace and we would love on that day that there is a www.peacedayparty.org everywhere and random acts of peace. Let’s www.pausetheworldforpeace.org.

Peace is an interesting word that has many, many meanings. Peace is NO WAR, Peace is no Domestic Violence, Peace is in one’s body, Peace is Health & Wellness, Peace is having food, shelter, FREEDOM, LOVE, HOPE AND so much more. 

Peace is also taking care of MOTHER EARTH…Creating Actions for being Guardians of the Planet. Today the Good News is growing in corporations/governments with actions for ESG (Environmental Social Governance), CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and for all of us, we have termed, PSR (Personal Social Responsibility/Respect). 

As we think about MOTHER EARTH, for years we thank Reverend Susana Bastarrica, with many other concerned citizens of the world, who helped create the Vigil for the International Day of Peace in Central Park, at the Band Shell, starting in 2002. We all have been involved since then. Susana included Ecology and MOTHER EARTH maybe 10 or so years ago into their theme…we also title our outreach as the International Day of Peace & Ecology because, as DR. JANE GOODALL STATES, “WITHOUT TAKING CARE OF MOTHER EARTH THERE CAN BE NO PEACE”. 

We would like to share our Earth & Water Day Sizzle Reel with you once again, as we have edited in some sustainability facts about the country of Greece that we felt showed sustainability in action, i.e.

Astypalaia has been reborn as one of Greece’s smartest and most sustainable islands. Through a collaboration with the Volkswagen Group, the island has shifted to electric vehicles. Tilos has invested into its energy transformation, becoming the first island in the Mediterranean to be 100% energy self-sufficient, using solar and wind for energy. The cosmopolitan island of Paros in the Cyclades is starting to make waves for the fact that the island is almost entirely plastic-free.

Here is the link for the Sizzle Reel: 

Also, we are creating individual shows, approximately one hour each and we will have 6 Parts, it’s a big show, because caring about MOTHER EARTH is a BIG SUBJECT & WORK! Here is the Run of Show and Link for Part One & Two.

Part 1 includes Pastor Gil Monrose, Scott Harrison, Deloitte, Donna Szatkowski-Zych, Rick Rosenspire, DSM Energy, Kilows, Powertron Global, Mission 6, Integrated Nano-Magnetics Inc. (INM), Earth Quakes, Michael Fitzpatrick, Ringo Starr and Dr. Jane Goodall.

Part 2 includes Carmen Olivia, Steven Joseph, Chip Shelton Peacetime Ensemble, Chuck Armstrong Jr., Chuck Armstrong Sr., Leonardo DiCaprio, Reif Harrison & Mckenzie Brooke, Chuckie Armstrong Jr., AY Young Battery Tour, Todd Cederhome, Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala, Tammy Scarlett & Michele Bongiovanni, Eric LeDuc, Guardians of the Rain Forests and Dr. Kalumuna & Dr. Joseph/Uganda/Mt. Sinai.
