Your Perfect Creative Day, Everyday!

By Tracy Books

The Perfect Day Formula by Craig Ballantyne

For a few months I was really unhappy with the way I was spending my days. I didn’t feel like I was producing the amount of creative work that I wanted to and it wasn’t for lack of ideas. I realized that perhaps the procrastination that I was experiencing was because I had so many ideas that I didn’t know how to structure my days to get the most creative bang out of them. Since I love a good self help book that speaks to the creative entrepreneur I went in search and found The Perfect Day Formula by Craig Ballantyne . This book did not disappoint!

The Perfect Day Formula is the best book I have read about making the most out of your time and achieving your dreams. It cracks the code on procrastination and self-doubt; it’s a practical toolkit for anyone ready to commit to their goals and make the most of their life. The simple exercises within the book have profoundly impacted my daily productivity and confidence. This book is more than just a read; it’s a journey towards taking your dreams seriously and living a life filled with purpose and achievement.

I have read this book twice now and reflect on the exercises daily. I have seen my productivity soar and my dreams grow. If you are struggling with how to accomplish your biggest dreams and unsure how to make the most of your time, then this is a must-read (at least once).

Finding your Flow State

By Tracy Books

Mind to Matter by Dawson Church

If you are a creative, you know that the most creative and inspired work happens from a flow state. Working from a state of stress and anxiety rarely produces anything memorable. After spending years in a stressful job, my mind and body seemed to be conditioned to exist in a state of stress; I had little recollection of what a flow state felt or looked like. Seeking an escape one particularly challenging day, I sought the calming influence of my go-to podcast who happened to be having a conversation with Dawson Church, Ph.D. – a healing researcher and an award-winning author. Talk about synchronicity!

I listened to this podcast three times and could not wait to dive into the world of Dawson Church and his research on rewiring the brain for joy and creativity. So, I grabbed his book, “Mind to Matter”, and devoured it.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this book so engaging. Dawson dives into the heart of how we learn to go back to living in a flow state and presents “science-y“ content that sustained my interest and didn’t have my squirrel brain wandering about. Throughout the book he sprinkles in fascinating narratives that tie together science, the brain and our own higher powers. And guess what? He even tackles synchronicity and throws in bonus content for each chapter on his website.

My well-loved, heavily highlighted and dog eared copy is a testament to the impact of this transformative read. I am successfully conditioning my mind and body to live a in a peaceful state and would recommend this book to anyone looking to do the same. Next up on my reading list is Dawson’s most recent book “Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity and Joy”. I would love it if you would join me!
