Lesson 134: Get Your Workflow Right

Do you have a workflow? I really hope you do. When you set out to do anything, having a workflow makes it a lot easier. It reduces the number of decisions you have to make because everything follows a certain pattern. It might be boring but boring works. Boring is good when you want to get to your goal.

PROMPT: What is your workflow when it comes to projects?

Lesson 133: Instagram Is Super Curated

Have you done that thing where you take twenty-six photos before you finally put one up? Great. Well, so has everyone else. When we put up a picture on social media, we are putting up the best version of that photo. We are rarely ever putting up the first version. Stop comparing your life with what you see on Instagram because it is super curated.

PROMPT: What is the highest number of selfies you took before you shared one on social media? Why?

Lesson 132: Stop Worrying About "Likes"

I'll say though, it feels good when you put up a post and it has a ton of likes however if that's the major reason you are putting up the pix on Instagram, you are setting yourself up to fail. Likes shouldn't matter. When you share something, it should be because you want someone out there to see it and learn from it. Forget the likes, just share what you want and have fun with it.

PROMPT: How important are "likes" to you? Why?

Lesson 131: Do Your Research

It's research that led us to the vaccines that are now making life head towards some sense of normalcy. Research is important for everything we do! Do not get into the fray without learning as much as you reasonably can. Research is your friend.

PROMPT: What was your last research? What did you learn?

Lesson 130: Be The More Loving One

When we are in a relationship we should go all in. We shouldn't hold back. Yup, it's scary. I mean, there is no guarantee but rather than worry about that, go all in and love with all you have, holding nothing back. Whatever the outcome, you'll never have to second guess yourself and that to me is a beautiful way to live. 

PROMPT: How comfortable are you with expressing love? Why?

Lesson 129: Change Is Scary

Change is constant. We have to get used to that fact. Nothing stays the same forever. Change is inevitable. Now, just because change is sure doesn't mean change is comfortable or safe. Nope. Change is super scary. We are used to the status quo and would love to have things remain as they are but, again, change is sure so we have to learn to embrace it.

PROMPT: What is the latest change you embraced? How are things going?

Lesson 128: Failure Can Be Just Around The Corner

It feels great to win. It feels awesome. However, there are times we will lose too. It's all part of getting into the fray. Win some. Lose some. Now even though failure can be just around the corner, it doesn't mean you should stay in your safe bubble. No. To grow, you have to get out of your comfort zone even though failure might be an option. 

PROMPT: What was the last failure you had? How did you handle it?

Lesson 127: Everything Is A Risk

In life, everything we do comes with some risk involved. There's nothing that is 100% certain or safe so when we do it, we are accepting the fact that things might go sideways. We can either not do anything and stay cooped up or we can venture forth, take some risks, learn and grow. It's all up to you.

PROMPT: What was the last risk you took? How did things turn out?

Lesson 126: You Can't Pour From An Empty Cup

I have to thank @trainyardstore for this one as I saw this on their Instagram page and it touched me. If you are an empath, right now can be super trying. There is so much going on and we want to fix as much of the mess as possible. However, we need to make sure that we have to have something to give. If we don't have something inside we won't have anything to give. We need to make sure that we have something in store to give so it is important to make sure that we take time out to refill ourselves. We all know what we do that helps refill us so we have to make time to fill up in order to give.

PROMPT: What do you do for self care?

Lesson 125: Know Thyself

It is important to know yourself, who you are, what your values are. When you know this, it makes decision-making super easy. To know anything you have to study it and it is the same thing you need to do when it comes to knowing yourself. It is important to spend time discovering yourself.

PROMPT: How much of yourself do you know?
