Episode Summary

Take a media break and experience renewed creative potential. Guaranteed!

Episode Notes

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.

How would it feel to regenerate your creativity with a media break? What do you imagine might be the return on investment if you took a break from newspaper headlines, television, social media platforms, even emails for an hour, a day, a week?

I can tell you this, although you probably already know: our creativity dries up when we’re constantly bombarded by outside sources. Even more so when what we consume causes stress, anxiety.

Practical Tip: Take a media break to reconnect with yourself and expand into your awareness, your creative potential. You will experience a sense of calm, balance, freedom, where new ideas and concepts come alive to flourish in your life, in your work.

"DIANE IS A KEEN STORYTELLING PROBLEM SOLVER BECAUSE SHE LISTENS DEEPLY, QUESTIONS WITH EMPATHY, AND BELIEVES THAT THE CLIENT HAS THE ANSWERS TO THEIR COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES. TRUST DIANE TO FIND THE STORY, LISTEN IT OUT OF YOU, AND GUIDE YOU TO A BETTER STORY." ... MANY OF US tell our stories from the perspective of what we do, the tasks we complete, and the great things we deliver. However, we forget that we are human beings with stories to tell to connect with other human beings and their stories. Our stories and the power of our human voice attract us to each other and attract our clients and audiences. FOR 30 YEARS I’ve helped professionals take their story from a message only they could hear to the publishing world, the courtroom, hospitals, board meetings, the airwaves, and more. Stories that swayed juries. Built markets. Spread ideas. Changed things. TODAY I HELP others become successful story influencers. It’s a niche the world needs: helping socially conscious professionals and organizations succeed by discovering and delivering their authentic story messages to connect with, engage, and influence their audience. HOW DID I EARN THE RIGHT TO CARRY THE STORY MEDICINE? I know struggles. I offer solutions. Over the years as an incest survivor, a professional woman in male-dominated professions, growing up with generational myths about the role of women, I lost my voice, had it taken from me, felt it compressed and constrained. I silenced myself only to learn that language is power when it is brought to light and life. When we discover our one true authentic voice, we shape our personal or professional story, mission, or vision so we are seen, heard, understood, and listened to. When we tell our story to advance our business, create clarity in life choices, give life to our ideas, we connect, engage, and influence our audience with our courage, confidence, conviction, and creativity. WHETHER YOU ARE READY to work with me as your trusted story guide or getting ready to be ready, I am ready to support you at Quarter Moon Story Arts.

4 CONVERSATIONS

  1. I love how you allowed for a matrix solution on the Friendship Bench, Diane. One axis is the length of time and the other is how many noise generators we could take away.
    To me this opens the possibility of being aware in our media consumption, be it news, entertainment, or social, and using it rather than being used by it.

    What you are pointing to is the good practice of keeping the sabbath – which to me is more about pausing doldrums of any kind than as it is about sitting still reading special literature. Pausing creates awareness.

    • How beautifully said, Charlotte.

      Leave it to you to parse the inner language, the unspoken messages. I record my 60 Seconds & hope that friends like you help me understand what’s been put out into the world.

      I’ve been re-reading a favorite book of mine: A Gentleman in Moscow. The main character is talking about a clock that his father had made. It chimes only twice: once at noon, again at midnight. He reflects a man who rises early, breaks his fast and gets to work will have enjoyed a productive day by noon. After which he takes his meal and has the liberty to stroll, enjoy conversations, visit the shops, read, and so on. Understandably he was of the noblesse oblige & not peasant class.

      Still, that notion of liberty to be free to do what one would like to do………….. having turned my back on InYourFaceBook, Instagram, TV, and creating my Device Free Zone weekends is a response to the longing I feel around that notion of liberty, freedom. Maybe others will walk along, too.

  2. THERE YOU ARE!

    It still takes me a little while to navigate through the labyrinths. I could use a ball of that magic yard Theseus used to escape the Minotaur.

    Many thanks for your kind & encouraging words, Byron. Your generosity of spirit means a great deal to me. It’s nice to know that when I’m facing the blank computer screen there’s a reason to keep on creating.

    Kindest wishes ~ Diane
