A gentle year-end gift from me đź’› Curious, Creative & Full of Wonder (free Future Self session)


Hi Reader,

Every Tuesday, I host a Future Self visualization inside the mindbodyJOY community. It’s become a real member favorite, offering inspiration and insight.
​

For the final session of 2025, I’m opening the doors to anyone who feels they could use a little more curiosity, creativity, or wonder in their life.

This is my gift to you
—and a gift you might want to give yourself.

I’m inviting you to a free, gentle Future Self visualization on Zoom: Curious, Creative & Full of Wonder
​

🗓 Tuesday, December 30​
⏰ 8:00 am Pacific Time (duration: 30–40 minutes)
📍 On Zoom – cameras optional

This isn’t a productivity workshop or a “New Year, New You” event.
It’s a short, calm, contemplative space to:

  • let your nervous system exhale
  • meet a future version of you who already feels more curious, creative, and full of wonder
  • remember that you’re allowed to play with ideas without pressure or perfection

We’ll do a brief check-in, a guided visualization, a few minutes of quiet journaling with reflection prompts, and an optional share before we close. You are not required to participate. You're welcome to quietly attend and enjoy.

Because of the quiet nature of this session, we’ll start right on time, and the Zoom room will close 5 minutes after we begin (at 8:05 am PT) so the space can stay grounded and undisturbed. You might want to join a few minutes early to get settled.

If this sounds like something your system would appreciate, you’re warmly invited.

If someone comes to mind who could use a soft, creative reset at the end of this year, feel free to forward this email and pass this gift along.

If you’d like our small reflection workbook to jot down insights during the visualization, reply with “Reflection,” and I’ll email it to you.

Let's close out this year together and set the tone for a curious, creative 2026 that's full of wonders to discover.

Warmly,

P.S.: If the idea of connecting with a future version of yourself appeals to you, you might enjoy our upcoming workshop, "A Map to Your Well World." It’s a quiet, guided space to create a visual compass for the first Quarter of 2026. You can learn more or save your spot here.​

mindbodyJOY is a space for people whose nervous systems have been stuck in survival mode for too long. Created by Simone Holderbach, Neuroplasticity & Nervous System Coach and educator, mindbodyJOY combines courses like GLIMMER with the mindbodyJOY community, a daily practice space for building safety, resilience, positive affect, connection, creativity, awe, meaning, and small moments of aliveness. mindbodyJOY is a chronic joy community where we practice micro-doses of positive emotion and connection that are small on purpose, so the nervous system can say yes.

Done right, connection is a form of nervous system safety.

Hi Reader,Wanting connection and having the capacity to socialize are not always the same thing. You may miss people, but not have the energy to make plans. You may want to feel included, but not have the bandwidth for small talk. You may long for warmth, ease, or being seen, while also needing a way to connect that does not require you to perform being okay. Sometimes the lonely part of you wants people, while the exhausted part of you wants quiet. That is not a contradiction. It is often...

Hi Reader,Maybe you can relate. When life has been shaped by chronic symptoms, pain, anxiety, burnout, or stress for a long time, creativity can start to feel like something that belongs to another version of you: the version who had more energy, more spaciousness, more curiosity, and more access to play. And when someone says, “You should try doing something creative,” it can sound almost insulting if your brain is busy scanning symptoms, solving problems, managing appointments, and trying...

Hi Reader,Does your brain spend a lot of time scanning for what's wrong? Checking symptoms. Bracing for the next thing to go wrong. Predicting how hard tomorrow might be. Noticing every niggle and twinge, every small shift in sensation, and wondering what it might mean. If anxiety is a familiar part of your life, you might recognize this as your brain's default setting. From an evolutionary standpoint, this makes complete sense.When you've lived with chronic symptoms, chronic stress, or a...
