6 tips to help you get word inspired this summer
We love the holidays, it’s a time to rest up, get grounded and to let those creative juices flow. Which is why we've created a summer workbook to to help you get word-inspired from your lounger.
Download our free summer workbook or write the prompts in your journal and you’ll have September’s content sorted, as well as a bank of delicious words ready to spruce up your copy, before you can say speedy boarding.
1. Zine-inspired
Magazines are a great source of inspiration, especially the summer edition. They’re brimming with real life stories from people who've had light-bulb moments while laying on a sun lounger or on a magical trip. But you know where we find the most inspiration? The contents page. Take a look and you'll find a long list of punchy, hook-you-in headlines you can repurpose as content ideas.
2. A different view
A different view can give a whole new perspective. Look out of your window, what do you see? How does it all make you feel? Did you visit a gallery, find a favourite cafe to watch the world go by or discover somewhere new that made you smile? Which view resonates most? Why do you think this is?
3. Back to Nature
The sun on your face, wind in your hair, water at your feet. Spending time in nature is the best way to get grounded, ready to rise. Look up, look down, soak it all in.
4. Use your senses
Holidays are all about the senses. The smell of the sea. The feel of sand beneath your feet or on your sun soaked salty skin. The taste of the food you ate. That first sip of a new or favourite drink. The sight of new places and beautiful scenes. How it all made you feel.
5. Your stories
Every summer has a story. From the slowest to the most spectacular, making note of the memorable moments, silly stories, funny jokes and fleeting episodes of joy will help you add more substance to your storytelling.
6. Quotes
What's on your summer reading list? Do you go for beach perfect fiction? A good biography? Maybe some self development? Whatever you're reading this summer, be mindful as you do. Make a note of the words or phrases that stand out.
Happy holidays gang,
Laura + Becca

Gabrielle Bernstein
I discovered Gabrielle Bernstein in the summer of 2019, inhaling her book The Universe has got your back while on holiday in France. Since then I've literally read her entire repertoire. I can't get enough of her positivity and make picking an affirmation card the first task of my day.

Day dreaming
Alone, with friends, family or our clients, I LOVE dreaming up ideas. I believe anything is possible. The first step is allowing ourselves to imagine what those possibilities could be.

Being in the mountains
Mountains, I love 'em. I love looking at them, hiking them and the endless possibilities they hold. Our favourite place to explore in the UK is the Lake District. Whenever we have a spare weekend or day, I jump in our van and head to the mountains.
