Here’s your SUNDAY NIGHT REMINDER that… 🖤 It is ok to not know what you want to be when you are a grown up. (It is also ok to not be a grown up. Like, ever. I tried it once. Overrated asf.) The fun is in figuring it out as you go. The danger is when you stop caring/trying. Thats worse than being a grown up. I’m told. 🖤 You don’t have to start from scratch. I don’t think you could, even if you tried. You are always starting from experience, from growth, from wisdom and from whichever level of YOU, you’re currently at. Levelling up is the one. ⬆️ Also, the level you are currently at is just where you are meant to be right now. 👌🏽 🖤 Mondays are actually kind of lush. A cheeky new start, a mini new year, kind of. They are a chance to start afresh, clean slate time, bin off the shite that last week brought and GO AGAIN. Things, life, circumstances, situations can change as soon as YOU decide you want them to. Bring in the new. 🖤 You haven’t left it too late, you can do it, you are totally up to it, they will love you, this is SO you, it will work, you were meant to do this, it is time, you already have all you need, it’s not a crazy idea and you absolutely should go for it, 100%. Like, now. #hypegirlforhire 🖤 Sunday nights are the perfect time to look after YOURSELF however that may look for you. Self care isn’t just about epsom salts and tealights yanno. Do what you need to do to prepare yourself for a nice little week ahead; hatch some fun plans, arrange to see friends, pull a sickie from work I’m probably just joking about the last one maybe 🙄 However your Sunday looks, here is some love from mine to yours. 👉🏽🩷 Do with it what you will. DMx PS: Last few spaces remain for me to jump into your life in July to help you land that dream job. £500 all in. But be quick. DM me to get booked in. ❤️ xx

When you realize that you can wake up with energy and feel excited for the day instead of feeling drained the moment you open your eyes and feel like you are just longing for some peace and quiet. Well then, you want to stick with what works. Here are 5 simple tips to start 1. Write down and visualize what you usually feel annoyed by and change the perspective if it to see it as something you can be grateful for. 2. Start the day with lemon water, natural juice or plane water before you sip your coffee. 3. Smile the first thing you do when your kids wake up and stop everything you do to hug them, physical touch creates reaction inside your body that helps you feel better about life. 4. See how you will feel afterwards if you start your day with a protein smoothie/shake, boiled or fried egg or leftovers from dinner that have chicken, fish or red meat in it, instead of a sandwich. 5. See if you can open the window quick or step outside for a minute and just breathe 5 deep breaths. All this I was very skeptical towards when I heard about it at first, but every single one has changed my day to day life only for the better and now I do all of them several times a day because I feel so much better by doing them. What will you try today? Let me know in the comments below

I hope your week has been treating you well! One thing that brought a smile to my face this week was getting messages from friends who told me they’re fans of this newsletter. This is always so nice to hear! Let’s get into it: 1. Spontaneous days can be a lot of fun. I usually like to plan and know what I’m doing that day, but we recently had an awesome spontaneous day and it reminded me to go with the flow sometimes. 2. Before bed, write down 3 wins that you’ve accomplished that day. It can be anything that made you feel good about the day. It’s a nice little daily reflection exercise and also a mood booster. 3. Showing up and doing your best is all that you can ask for. It’s not going to look the same each day, so don’t be hard on yourself for showing up with what works best for you at that moment. 4. You have just as much of a chance for things going right and working out how you envisioned. The next time you get nervous about a new project, etc. remember this. It’ll all work out. 5. Do something today that brings you joy. Prioritize this, because we all deserve some more joyful moments in our lives. For me, that means getting outside and FaceTiming my family Pictured here are some pretty flowers from our day exploring the flower fields.

Like me, I know you have a lot mapped out for the new year. Yes, it's still a new year. If you feel like you don't have it mapped out now, this is a reminder that you should. If you have it mapped out and are already going in the opposite direction, this is the time to re-strategize. Here's something I learned in the course of last week: a lot of things can be recovered, but time and life cannot. The only exemption to recovering time and life is through divine intervention from God. You are not the owner of your own life. Don't live life just embracing what comes each day; prepare for what you want to see happening. This was one of my major highlights of last week, and going forward, I will make intentional efforts to make my days count. Keep in mind that once the day is gone, it cannot be recovered. A little activity for the week: Write down something that will make your week fulfilling. Feel free to share it in the comments if you're comfortable. Return later, at the end of the week, to let us know if you achieved it or not. What will you do differently this week to make your days count? Let me know in the comments.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗳… Saturday story time, you excited? First off, how was your week? Mine didn’t start off too great. Here is why: After sharing my usual Monday morning inspiration, urging y’all to make a weekly to-do list and shift focus to the next task if one thing wasn’t working out, I got my own list ready and was ready to conquer the world with enthusiasm, haha. The first task on my list was some pending Lab work. I was set to leave home even earlier than usual. As luck would have it, when I opened the door, it was raining heavily 🌧️. What a bummer! What to do, what to do? 🤔 Braving the rain would mean getting drenched and feeling cold all day - not a good option. I became quite frustrated. For the next hour and the half, I paced back and forth to the door, checking the intensity of the rain. Then it hit me - I was failing to take my own advice. Talk is cheap right? Here I was, wasting time because I couldn’t tackle the first item on my list, when there were many other tasks (like writing, reviewing documents, etc.) I could easily do from home. The moment I quit worrying and got my computer out to start working on other stuff, the solution came to me. I remembered a beautiful yellow raincoat a dear friend had gifted me over a year ago, which I had completely forgotten about. I was so fixated on the problem that I missed the solution that was within reach. So my friends, do you have a task or project stressing you out? Give it a break, shift your focus to something else, and the solution you seek might just reveal itself. What are your plans for the weekend? (Mine in the comment section). Have a beautiful Easter Saturday.

Have you ever paused to consider how you want to FEEL, rather than just what you want to DO? Living a fulfilling life is not just about ticking off accomplishments, but the quality of emotions we experience along the way. To inject more positivity and purpose to your week, ask yourself: How do I want to feel? The intention that you identify will shift you out of reaction mode. It will act as your compass, and give you an opportunity to align your actions to your intention. 🎯 Craving focus? Try turning off those distracting social media notifications 🧘 Seeking calm? Choose to respond differently to stress and carve out moments for peace. 💥 Want to feel energised? Get moving, hydrate and make healthier food choices. Write down your intention and stick it somewhere you will see it every day. Instead of drifting on auto pilot this week, set your intention and watch your thoughts and actions align to support you! So, how do you want to feel this week?

Happy Easter 🐣 weekend to all. May your weekend be filled with blessing, and the message of rebirth and new beginnings. I had a few problems a few years back, and I realised I couldn't get through it by continuing the path I was on, so I seeked help. I learnt a really great little 5 step tool for getting me back to a peaceful place, whenever I feel anxious or worried, I'd like to share that with you. 1. Find your green zone: whether it is a physical space, or mental. It's either a park, the seaside, gym, or a good happy memory, it might even be a cuppa. Take yourself to that place. 2. Be mindful: change the way you operate, do you tend to exaggerate, get over emotional, this is the moment to confront it. 3. Be aware of your thinking: where are you allowing your mind to go, bring it back to safety 4. Emotions are guests: we open the door to our emotions and welcone them in, they don't move inside us freely, so we have power over them. Be aware of which emotions you give free reign ( work in progress) 5. Be self encouraging: many of us suffer with anxiety for various things, burn out, thoughts that make us doubt ourselves, guilt. Stop. Remember to highlight the achievements, list the good stuff, nothing is too small. It's not a miracle fix, but if you are like me, you like a good formula, a guide, something you can reach for when your brain is not playing nice. So here's to a peaceful long weekend, filled with whatever makes you happy.

What came home to roost for you this week? In a world full of hacks and distractions, it’s super easy to get lost and caught up. Sometimes the universe gives you a little nudge that just because you’re on the right path, doesn’t mean you can sit still. So here are some of my realisations which showed up in some way, shape or form this week. 1. Living your life is more important than your job. Jobs come and go; moments can’t be re-run. Make you choices. 2. Protect your energy. More importantly protect ‘when’ you need to have energy. Don’t expect to deliver high quality at the end of a hectic week, poor sleep and travel. Block off the time needed to get set for the high energy tasks/times. 3. Mistakes mistakes mistakes. These multiply when tired and fuelling poorly. But also, mistakes happen, accept, process and figure out how not to repeat. Your best is brilliant. 4. Your perception is not reality. It is not how others see you, is often mood dependent and more often than not a more negative view of self not a positive one. 5. R&R is the performance enhancer hiding in plain sight. Reload effectively and issues aren’t as significant, hills aren’t as high, and challenges aren’t as insurmountable. 6. Compounding. Stack up your 💩 habits or stack up your positive ones. They both make interest. 7. It’s not really urgent is it. Very very few things are. Get a grip of what is actually important in life. 8. High performance is not an accident. You reap what you sew. Drill your skills or you’ll get found out. 9. Life is about choices. Choose to stay put or choose the discomfort of change. 10. Patience and consistency. Get results. End of. 11. Inject some life into your parenting. More enjoyable time with kids, less stress, better sleep all round, more smiles and laughs. You need to lead this. You. 12. Stop putting everyone else first. If I keep supporting and giving for free to others and their businesses, then I can’t drive mine and build my dreams. There we go. Lots of great things and brilliant lessons. Keep on trucking. Any of these resonate for you this week?
