The Soft Life with Candy Washington | Self-Love, Manifestation, and Healthy Relationships

In this episode, we discuss five ways self-care can make you more money as an entrepreneur and creative professional.

5 Ways Self-Care Can Make You More Money

#1: Take inspired action

The only way that you’re actually going to make money doing what you love, is by doing it! One of the biggest hindrances to building a profitable business is by being paralyzed by fear and never getting started or by starting and then stopping the moment you hit a road bump. The way to get over this business building block is by building up your accountability, both to you self and to your team.

Self-care Tip: Awaken the Power of Accountability

The way to transform your vision, dreams, plans, and strategies, into a real life manifestation and accomplish your goals, is by holding yourself and your team accountable. Be accountable to show up for yourself, to think out of the box, to take risks, to learn from your mistakes, to not be afraid to fail, and to make sure that you surround yourself by people who are really there to support you and to cut dead weight when needed.

At the end of the day, the only person responsible for your success is yourself, so you have to take accountability and responsibility for your actions and decisions, and most importantly, for how you spend your time.

5 Ways How to Take Inspired Action:

1. Meditate

2. Journal + Goal setting

3. Research others

4. Seek guidance but trust your gut

5. Test and gather data, then course correct

In this episode, we discuss three key ways to stop hating on other people and how to turn that negative energy into a positive motivator to up your own game.

In the Insta-world that we live in, it’s impossible not to compare ourselves to the lives of others which may manifest itself as us feeling less than, not good enough, or not far along enough, and instead of acknowledging our own insecurities, we tend to allow our jealousy to project itself as hating on other people. But we can reclaim our power by practicing the three insights below:

#1: Practice gratitude

#2: Let the hate motivate

#3: Get some perspective

As an introvert, I love my alone time at-home, with just me, my books, tea, and a warm blanket. Taking time off to recharge my batteries and be with myself fills me back up and reignites my creativity.

But being alone in your apartment is pretty easy, but what about doing things on your own outside the comfort of your personal space? Are you able to do things that are usually reserved for social occasions without the security blanket of your squad?

If not, then I challenge you to do one thing on the list below each week to grow outside of your comfort zone and learn how to be comfortable in your skin while owning the space that you take up.

#1: TAKE YOURSELF TO THE MOVIES

#2: TAKE YOURSELF OUT TO DINNER

#3: TAKE YOURSELF ON A STAYCATION

#4: TAKE YOURSELF TO A PARTY

#5: TAKE  YOURSELF TO A MUSEUM OR A POTTERY CLASS

#6: TAKE YOURSELF TO THE BEACH

#7: TAKE YOURSELF TO A NETWORKING EVENT

#8: TAKE YOURSELF TO A CONCERT

#9: TAKE YOURSELF ON A TRAVEL ABROAD TRIP

#10: TAKE YOURSELF ON A ROAD TRIP

Five Ways to Stop Caring About What People Think

Know the difference between an opinion and a put-down

Your opinion trumps all

Be mindful of your perspective - create space and observe
