My two questions for you today💕 (swipe for full video). As I’m running a self-love event this month, I’d love to know from you:
-
1. Is SELF-💗 a topic you want to learn more about?
2. If yes, why is it important for you to learn how to love yourself more right now?
-
Drop your response in the comments below or if you’d feel more comfortable sending a private message then my DMs are open 💗🤗

Can you guess what the topic will be for next mont

Can you guess what the topic will be for next month’s online workshop? ❤️

So this weekend I actually put on a dress and wore heels in what seems like 10 years BUT the only pictures my friend and I ended up taking during our staycation were ones like these of us dancing on our balcony and completely forgot to take them when dressed up😩😂
-
But it’s fine. The aim of my weekend wasn’t to take loads of photos. Instead it was about completely switching off and ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’ 💆🏻‍♀️There was a lot of self-care, which included bubble baths, massages, lying by the beach, eating lots of cake, which is all amazing stuff, but while I was enjoying those things I thought a little deeper about why I was doing them.

See, the idea of going to a perfect, scenic location and doing lots of feel good activities sounds ideal, but the reality is if you’re not fully present and allowing yourself to enjoy them, is it really self-love? I don’t think it is. Self-care without self-love is just you physically experiencing something enjoyable but mentally being annoyed for what’s been happening at work or in your relationships/ feeling guilty about the time or money you’re spending by being there/ worrying about everything that you have to come back to.

All of this takes away you being fully present and how can you enjoy your experiences and have fun if your mind is in all those places instead?

It’s funny because I’ve been trying to come up with a name for the new project I’m launching soon but wasn’t getting anywhere. The more I forced it, the more it just wasn’t happening. I was certain that going away for two days would enable me to clear my mind and that by doing so the name would just come to me. And guess what, exactly that happened! 😆That really is the power of allowing yourself and your mind to BREATHE and just be. No pressure, no doing. To me, that right there is self-love💗

There are 3 things to consider when thinking about what you want in life.
1. WHAT is it that you want? As in, get really clear and focused on exactly what it is that you want to do and how you want to feel. Be as detailed as possible.
2. WHY is this important? What’s your motive? How will your life be different as a result of making this happen in your life? Who else will this benefit? Having a really strong why will keep you persevering when your motivation dips and the journey becomes challenging.
3. HOW am I going to get there? The how becomes a lot easier once you’ve become super clear on your why and your what. Your how requires solid planning, consistency, and the right resources that are going to help you along the way.

Seems pretty simple right? Ah if it was only that easy! 😅 The above is the easy part.

What’s difficult is ditching all the things that are holding you back from getting there. Your procrastination, lack of motivation and self-discipline. Your negative self-talk and the belief that you could never achieve your goals. Your constant overthinking and needing everything to be perfect, your negative environment. Your lack of routine and finding yourself becoming so overwhelmed with all that needs to be done and not knowing where to start that you don’t end up starting anywhere.

Sound familiar?

This week I’m being super intentional about decluttering my mind and space and letting go of the things that are holding me back from feeling more inner peace, healthier, happier and more confident💆🏻‍♀️I’ll be honest and admit that the list was longer than I expected to be 😅but it felt so good calling myself out on it.

It’s SO empowering to be open and honest with ourselves rather than trying to shove it all into a corner of our minds and pretend it’s not there. It will only end up creeping up on you later.

It won’t be easy for me to change some of these habits that have developed recently but my desire for what I want is far stronger than my dislike of getting uncomfortable.

Want to join me in doing a mid-year spring clean?💕

Big 💗 to everyone who attended the confidence w

Big 💗 to everyone who attended the confidence workshop on Saturday, with attendees from UAE, UK, Kuwait, KSA and Mauritius join us🌎The idea of the session was to get prepared for the second half of 2020 by identifying the habits are not serving them, and exactly why, what and how to go about feeling so much more empowered and motivated moving forward💃🏻
-
We set goals, broke out into smaller groups to carry out exercises and had bigger group discussions. The messages I received after were so inspiring❤️sharing how surprised the attendees were at how open and comfortable they were to speak up as they didn’t know anyone, and how the session gave them a huge boost to begin believing in themselves and start doing what they’ve been holding back from doing for so long🙆🏻‍♀️
-
It can be difficult to stay motivated when you have big goals, which is why I believe that having a community of like-minded women who are cheering you on along the way and holding you accountable (and of course having fun👯‍♀️) are SO important on your journey.

During the session I revealed to the group something that I have been working on and will be launching in a few months but for now all I can say here is watch this space!🙊🤐💕

I have a question for you. How much growth have yo

I have a question for you. How much growth have you experienced this year?🙆🏻‍♀️
-
With all that’s happened over the past few months, it’s very easy to see 2020 as the worst year so far, a complete write-off. Our whole lives have been turned upside down🙃
-
But have you realised that it’s from being so out of our comfort zone that results in us experiencing HUGE amounts of personal growth?
-
If we just continue living our day to day as we always do without pausing, then we’re essentially just living with tunnel vision, seeing life one way rather than choosing to look at ourselves and our world from a different perspective.

Whether you’ve realised it or not, with all that you have gone through this year, you have experienced an incredible amount of growth💃🏻 And so my two questions to you are:
-
1. Have you acknowledged how much you’ve grown?
2. What are you going to do with all of this growth?
-
Because if you haven’t taken the time to reflect on these questions, all of that inner power, those lessons and resources are going to be sitting inside of you wasted, when you can be using them to really help you grow, to help you fly and move towards the direction of feeling SO much happier and more fulfilled.

But what does being happier and more fulfilled mean to you?

Maybe it’s about feeling much more at peace within yourself, experiencing less inner chaos. Perhaps it’s taking the steps to start your own side business that you’ve been wanting to do for so long. Maybe it’s about having more of a work-life balance or saying no and setting boundaries with other people.

Whatever is important for you, you have all the tools within you BUT you need to give yourself the space and permission to bring them out. And not only bring them out but put them into practise it too.

If this message resonates with you and you feel like it’s time to really bring out all of the 🔥 sitting inside of you so you can become a much happier and more confident version of you, then I’d really LOVE to help you... (continued in comments below)
