Nothing’s more important than a trustworthy group of friends (goddesses). With the right group, your bonds can endure anything that life throws at you. Good friends understand boundaries and respect them; they are the type to stick with you because they love you for who you are. Many people like to think that good friends keep in touch every moment of every day. But I like to believe good friends (with a solid connection) can catch up months or even years later as if no time has passed.&nb[...]
There are many reasons to keep a journal. It can help us process our thoughts and be more organized. But there’s obviously more. Today I want to share some of the benefits I’ve noticed from my journey with journaling. Maybe after I’m done telling you all about it we can exchange a few secrets? *wink* *wink* ;) Specific Goals Are Achievable Goals When you write your goals in a journal it becomes easier to know what you want to do. Sometimes we want to achieve so man[...]
What is Mindfulness? I briefly mentioned mindfulness in a previous post and I thought today would be a good day to go deeper into what it all means. Mindfulness is defined as the ability to be aware, to be present and to be conscious of what we’re doing. It is in many ways the opposite of being reactive or being overwhelmed to the point of inaction. Mindfulness is not a skill that every one of us has access to. And like any skill, Mindfulness requires us to learn how to use it and w[...]
Make a list of your expenses Make a list of everything you use your money on. Subscriptions, groceries, business responsibilities e.t.c. Looking at this list will help you notice the things you don’t need. This list will also make all the following steps so much easier. Try the 'Kick a Bad Habit' Challenge There are different habits we make time for in our lives that might not be helpful to us in saving money. It could be drinking sodas every day, being a shopahol[...]
We have businesses, and we all know the struggle that comes with keeping them running. It’s even crazier when we reflect on what it takes to get our businesses off the ground. It’s not easy, but it’s possible. To be an entrepreneur in 2022 means to accept a life of consistent challenges. It’s true for running a business as well. There’s no planet where a business always has silky smooth operations; if there was I’m willing to bet we’d all go there. I talk about a lot of t[...]
Why do we procrastinate? There are many reasons. Laziness, Impostor Syndrome and Perfectionism. See, the thing about Procrastination is, it’s super sneaky. We can sometimes find ourselves holding off important tasks until the last minute by making excuses that (at the time) seem genuine. "It'll be easy, I've got plenty of time to finish" That may be true. But it's still procrastinating. Think about it logically, if a task really is so easy, what stops us from just getting it ou[...]
What is a Scarcity Mindset? A scarcity mindset is a belief that there will never be enough for everyone in the world. A scarcity mindset is a poisonous approach to life which can be harmful to ourselves and others if we don’t deal with it early in our lives. People that carry a scarcity mindset are always thinking about which parts of their lives are missing something or are unfulfilled. They compare their achievements to others, thinking of themselves as lesser and being unable to[...]
Impostor syndrome is described as “feeling like a fraud” or “doubting your abilities”. It’s something many high achieving individuals are familiar with, feeling like they’ve achieved everything in their life from luck and no skill. A lot of people feel like impostors, and that often leads them to think they are alone. Many people struggle with this feeling, so in the spirit of helping I decide to write a post that shows some of the ways we can overcome impostor syndrome. It[...]
It’s getting increasingly difficult to finish all of our tasks these days. Doesn’t really help that we have an ongoing pandemic that I believe is going to stay with us for a long while. Highly driven people can often be seen juggling multiple projects, sometimes not having the time to finish a single one. So how do we manage our life and get work done productively? I’m glad you you asked. 1. Set Goals This might seem obvious, but it’s easier to manage your time effectiv[...]
When people talk about ways of earning success they often bring up things like how you need to: “jump at the opportunity”, have solid “business plans” and remember that it’s all “risk versus reward”. That’s all well and good, however, there is more to finding success. It’s not easy, no matter what scam artists say, but I believe the road to success can be made much smoother. It’s important to remember that success is never guaranteed; at-least not in th[...]
