In this episode, I share few tips you will need to think about before breaking a habit. We are humans - we make mistakes, we adopt bad habits along the way. And that’s ok.

But, these habits could keep you stuck forever in dream wonderland. I dive deep into the science behind habits and share my experience in breaking and making habits.

I hope this will be useful for you for the days, months and years to come.

You are listening to this episode probably because:

• you are in the early stages of building your business and you want more clarity in how to show up as an authority
• you are working in a corporate job or ready to quit and something has been calling your name and you want to build your own community and biz and see where it takes you
• you are not 100% sure what your purpose is or whether you need a purpose, you are prone to external judgements take control of your life where you end up in cycles of fear and self doubt, you are having a hard time ‘being unique’ and trying to be someone else in all areas of your life
• you can’s stop thinking about you having your next vacation doing the things you love with no return date, you desire a different lifestyle where your monthly income is in excess and you have had enough of complaining that you don’t have enough time, energy or money
• But you also know that you want to create an impactful biz and community, you are more than the pay cheque you receive from your corporate job, you deserve more freedom in time and money, you are ready to do all the hard work and be committed to building a freedom based life and help your clients do the same

What I just described is someone who has some form of fear or self doubt but deep down they know they are ready to create impact and serve others. That is a clear sign of a thought leader. You don't NEED a business to become a thought leader.

How are you choosing to lead your life with authority so that you can live a life you don't need a vacation from?

Is fear stopping you start that side hustle?
Is fear stopping you send through your CV to that new and exciting job you've been eyeing on?
Is fear stopping you from attracting a healthy relationship?
Is fear keeping you from posting content online?

In this episode I show you how you can use fear to fast track your success rather than being a victim of it and being in cycles of feeling like a failure, lost and overwhelmed.

What do you actually believe in? How do you identify yourself?
At your core, how are you showing up in important areas of your life?

I'm sharing why your global dreams matter and how not to let fear take control over your life because you hold the blueprint to your dream life.

Whether you want to change your niche completely, change the title you call yourself or make a huge shift in your coaching containers - know that you are supported. Supported by your dreams - your global dreams. 

This episode is a reminder for you to normalise your dreams of going global. Whether being a well-known international speaker, building a multi-figure online biz or creating an impactful community - it's all yours.

Nobody gets to tell you otherwise. Even though during this pivot, everything might feel scary and you might be up for a shaky journey, but let's see through those challenges and see ourselves on the other side shall we? Because we deserve that much.

You've gone through so much to get here and don't let this pivot take a step towards self doubt and fear - you are put on this planet to do more amazing things and let's do this together!

I'm rooting for you!

Love, Shanika

Living a materialistic life means you are attaching your self worth, happiness and success on the things you buy. This eventually leads to low self esteem and compassion you have for yourself causing you to burnt out and stressed.

The more you are driven by extrinsic values, the more you exhaust your intrinsic values. We live in an ear where we know more about celebrities than our own family.

This episode is going to help you find out if you are living a materialistic life and why it's causing you dissatisfaction.

This is my invitation to you to invest in yourself because success is going to be hard if you operate from a place of seeking validation and attempting to fill a void. 

If life isn't working out right now, then you need to change something. And it's not buying things. Only when you are compassionate to yourself, show up with authority and show the world that you can, you'll succeed. That's real success than what you have in your bank account. 

I hope this episode inspires you to take action on living a grounded and authentic life.

What happens when you look all your focus on the way you look on the outside than the way you actually feel inside?

Do you also feel that void between how you feel internally and externally?

In this episode, I remind you how easy it is to get caught in building confidence from the outside to project a certain appearance or image to the outside world while ignoring things that can actually ignite your internal thermostat of confidence.

Confidence is a skill you need to master. It is not something you will suddenly wake up with just because you repeated 10 self confidence affirmations. It is not something you can attain when you reach a certain income level, a certain lifestyle or if you are lucky.

In this episode, I teach you 4 easy mindset shifts you can start practicing today to build the ultimate confidence you need to take your life to the next level. Whether you need that kick in confidence to launch your side hustle, launch your next coaching programme, ask for that promotion from your manager or simply live a life that is fulfilling - you need to listen to this episode.

The deep work starts from within. Learn to grow and evolve while building your dream life with confidence.

Shanika Mahawela is the Founder of I Am Not A Standard community and life coaching business, writer, speaker and content creator empowering women all across the globe in teaching them how to create their dream life full of happiness, purpose, peace, freedom and fun.

In this episode, I invite you to write your new story.

"I'm always doing everything I can but nothing seems to be working"

Sounds familiar?

We tell ourselves millions of stories every day but not the story that  we deserve. Scripts we have repeated over and over in our head becoming it incredibly challenging to pull ourselves together and conquer our feelings.

If we don't re-write a new story for ourselves, we are sabotaging our own success. Our own journey to success and living a life full of freedom and happiness.

In this episode, I empower you to conquer your fears so that you can achieve your dreams. All you need is a shift in your beliefs and thinking.

Your future self will thank you for the permission you gave yourself today to make a change in your life. A change in your story.

This is what I call the 'Becoming Your Own Role Model (BYORM)' philosophy where you are going to be falling in love with yourself and your life every single day.

This episode is overflowing with such excitement as I share how I came up with this new ideology (dating back to my childhood), how it has shaped my life so far and how you can also start to incorporate these aspects into your own life in creating a magnetic life calling in your desires that you are worthy of.

The journey of creating my own life after so many obstacles made me think what made me change the course of my life where I'm now on a journey writing a new story. So, I decided to share all of the wisdom in a nutshell in this episode because I want YOU to start dreaming about your dream life and get on to it right now!

This philosophy is the core of this community and what I bring to you as a Coach.

I hope this episode is an inspiration for you to pause what you are doing right now, audit your life in every aspect and make tiny changes so that you can wake up every morning feeling blessed and loving.
