This Year's Word with Courtney Symes

How to have fun with friends and family

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to get caught up in work, responsibilities, and obligations. However, amidst the chaos, it's crucial to prioritize quality time with friends and family. Building strong bonds and creating lasting memories with loved ones not only nourishes the soul but also brings immense joy and fulfilment. I don’t believe we will ever get to the end of our life and regret spending time with the people we love and enjoy hanging out with.
In this episode, I’ll be exploring a myriad of ways to have fun with friends and family, which will hopefully foster deeper connections and cherished moments that will be treasured for years to come.

How to have fun

This month I'm focusing on FUN. 
I live in Australia, and it's our last month of summer. So, I want to make the most of the last warm days and long evenings doing things I love, such as spending time in nature, and hanging out with people I love spending time with. 
In other parts of the world, it might be your last month of winter, and you need a boost to get your through the last few weeks of cold, short days until spring pokes its head around the corner. 
Wherever you are in the world, and life, I believe it's important to make time for fun - on our own or with others. 
In this episode, I’ll be exploring some practical strategies and actionable tips to help you infuse more fun into your leisure time, reigniting your zest for life and fostering a sense of fulfilment.

Guided Meditation: Journeying into 2024

Welcome to my first guided meditation podcast episode!
As my podcast continues to grow and evolve, I will be exploring different ways to add value to your weekly audio fix.
I’ve long been a fan of meditation, and the benefits it offers to clear the mind, reduce stress, and increase breath awareness.
This year, I have set the intention to share more guided meditation episodes in addition to my regular podcast episodes. These episodes will be inspired by my monthly word themes, which this month, is the word Journey.
A new year brings a new journey.
Are you ready to begin your 2024 journey?
❓ What will you do?
❓ Where will you go?
❓ Who will you meet?
❓ What will you learn?
Throughout 2024, I will be focusing on the journey, rather than the destination.
Check out my blog and socials, where I will be sharing a selection of quotes and inspiration to encourage you to embrace your own journey this year.
Now relax, close your eyes, and join me as we embark on a journey within, exploring the landscape of our hearts and minds as we usher in the energy of 2024...
