Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark ⚡️ a newsletter listing 5 inspiring things I thought were worth starting your week with: - 🗓️Happening in Amman next week: Don't miss "Laugh your Stress Out" workshop with the unique coach Rania Khoury on October 4th, 2022. This session is designed to energize the mind and body, and it involves a healthy and natural way of creating a D.O.S.E. of well-being (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins – the main hormones of happiness). You will learn and experience essential joy-filled tools and techniques that bring positive responses in your body to boost your mood and diminish stress. Learn more here and register here; seats are limited. Rania is also my accountability partner and awesome friend. I'm so proud of her.
- ⏰ From my desk: If your workweek starts on Sunday at 5 am, can you guess the mid-week point?
- 📹 8 things your video setup says about you– In this Twitter thread, Kevin Shen shares some of the common mistakes he sees with home video studios and how you can change your setup. I have some work to do myself. Thanks to Jay Clouse for sharing this.
- 🧠 For a more creative brain, Follow These 5 Steps, summarized nicely by James Clear. This post reminded me of the book Mind Management, not Time Management, which turned on so many light bulbs in my head.
- 🦸 This powerful quote is from a book I highly recommend called Presence. It changed how I view and carry my posture and how I speak (I have been trying to speak more slowly since I read it a few years ago, I so needed the reminder):

“Powerful people initiate speech more often, talk more overall, and make more eye contact while they’re speaking than powerless people do. When we feel powerful, we speak more slowly and take more time. We don’t rush. We’re not afraid to pause. We feel entitled to the time we’re using." ―Amy Cuddy, Presence |
