Can your inner self change if you change the outer self?

So this was a topic I have been thinking about for a while.

Travelling can be very exhausting but it always charges immensely my creative battery. I come always back very motivated with new ideas and have the right energy and amount of energy to do so usually.

After my trip to Mexico I had a lot of new ideas and wanted to really get certain things done, I was so motivated and I felt strong!

The first thing was to get back in the saddles with DutchwithBo. To be really honest I have been demotivated to add even more screen-time on my day after all my classes and was only making content, which isn’t my mojo.

But for the last weeks I have been trying new things, rewriting content, adjusting things and learning again about my own business. And I feel I am looking with a different perspective to it and feel motivated again.

So I’m thinking; does this has to do with the fact that I also have been changing things from the outside?

I got a new tattoo and I dyed my hair copper (yes and the result is pretty cool!). And I’m also making a lot of changes regarding food and utilities. I threw away all the plastic tools in the kitchen and changed it for wood. Then I’m also going to do this with all the baking pans, only iron without PFAS chemicals.

But maybe this is all the outcome of what travelling does to my creativity and awareness? :)

In December I turned 35, and I notice that this is different then in your 30 to 34 years. You start thinking more about the future, you know you have to fix certain things and can not only be living in the now, what I have been doing most of my life.

This can also be the drive, together with creative energy from travelling.

So I think we have to celebrate more our balance in life because good things get out of it!

If you are in the same age range, my only advice is: make a long-term plan if you are also an entrepreneur. And besides work, keep on making amazing trips where your heart feels at peace. It gives you so much more then some photos. It is a boost for seeing things in a different way, feel inspired and feel the bliss when you are working out your ideas.

Have a great start of a new week!

Love and bliss,

Bo
