Soak in the vibrations of utter bliss in this special, two-part Aloha Mini-Series. We recall our trip to Maui, where we celebrated 1,000+ downloads for Season 1! Maui was filled with magical moments that inspired us to our core. And just as we did in Season 1, we come out with 3 inspired actions to cultivate a meaningful and abundant life. Join us as we dive deep into the energies of Aloha, learning how we can reconnect with nature and each other to experience peace, harmony, and joy. Part 2 gives the full scoop on applying the Aloha spirit to your business or workplace.
In this second episode of our Aloha Mini-Series, we draw inspiration from an article that we discovered in the Southwest Magazine on our flight to Maui. In “Work with an Aloha Attitude”, Rosa Say teaches us how to apply the Hawaiian value of Aloha to our life’s work, inspiring us to live authentically from the inside out and to make management more human. By practicing self-love and love for other people, we can cultivate a positive workplace that nourishes us rather than stresses us out. We also chat about engaging in purposeful work - work that sparks true joy, and is uniquely aligned with what each of us can offer the world.
Take inspired action:
- Welcome heaven on earth and practice being a friend to yourself (Tool: Every morning, list 3 things that you appreciate or are grateful for).
- Give yourself permission to let go (Tool: Set an intention, meditate, or journal).
- Bring the attributes of ‘Aloha’ to the workplace, even in times of conflict (Tool: Approach experiences with a clear mindset and with patience).
- Take a moment to pause and reflect. (Tool: Ask yourself, what brings me joy? What can I offer to the world? And how might these worlds intersect?).
