When you begin to take control of your life to feel more fulfilled and happy, you often realise it’s not about the house, the amount you earn or the studio you have.  These goals are great, but true fulfilment comes from inside.

I know this can sound a little wishy washy, but this has been the biggest lesson towards me finding tons of contentment and happiness in my life.

No matter how many goals I set and achieved, there was always a feeling of not having enough, or fear of it being taken away.

When i work on what really matters - the internal - this is when my life starts to feel easier.

In today’s episode I share a great insight from Mid valley as they share the 3 most important questions to ask yourself when it comes to designing your life.

What do you want to experience ?

How do you want to grow?

How do you want to give back to the world?

The key is to answer in 90 seconds and not overthink. 

You can tune into today’s episode, where I talk more about this:

If you want to go deeper into this process, you can follow the steps on the Mind Valley website:

• Your art won’t sell

• You should paint flowers, you will make more money 

• You are not good enough 

• People aren’t buying art right now 

Have you ever taken a different direction because of the view of a few??

By this, I mean a couple of people out of the billions of people in the world gave their view, which diminished your dream—diminishing your confidence? Or did they influence a change of direction that doesn’t feel right?

We have to be careful not to accept the view of a few when we have a goal or destination we are passionate about.

Unless the view of a few are aligned with our mission and have great advice.

But, even then - someone who may appear to be in the know and have fantastic insight can be wrong.

I want to talk about this in today’s short bite-sized episode.

If you could live on your own terms with no money, worries, or responsibilities- how would you be REALLY living??

It amazes me how many people live a life they think they should live.  Myself included.  I fall into the trap year after year of making decisions based on what is expected or what I think others will like.

I intentionally reframe this thinking and check in with what I REALLY desire.

This is a question I ponder at this time of year.  I love the cycle of coming towards the end of a year.  It’s time to shed old skin, relight fires that burnt out and re-navigate my compass.

I love reflecting on how I design my life going forward.  I can feel shifts in my own life that have been brewing for a long time, and 2024 is going to be a time of change for me - I have some exciting plans - but these plans are only coming to fruition as I spend time going through the Best Year Yet program!!

I would love you to join me - the event starts on. 

18th January 2024

But, when you sign up, you get access to the Best Year Yet Prep immediately.

I went to an event recently called ‘Chill and Prosper’ by Denise Duffield Thomas.  Denise has a book out with the same name.

We spent 2 whole days talking about money.

I cried, laughed, felt confused, and gained clarity - it was an incredible 2 days of focusing on my money mindset, and I am excited to share my insights with you.

In today’s episode, I share what I took from the event, including why I was given a card that said:

‘It is safe for you to live and travel first class’.

This brought up lots of feelings of not deserving!!!  It's such an exciting topic.

Enjoy

How do you know when it’s time to give up on a dream/goal or mission???

The feeling of giving up can arise from many situations, such as:

• Working on the same project for a long time

• At a crossroads and not sure which way to turn, 

• A dream you have been following for a while. You don’t seem to be getting anywhere.

Many times in my life, I have wondered whether I should give up or keep going.

The thought of ‘wasting my time’ filled me with dread.  

The truth is, we never really waste time.  Every action we take is leading us somewhere.  It’s adding to the narrative of our lives.

In today’s episode, I share 3 ways I check in with myself. To decide whether to give up or not.

There have been many times in my life that I fake how I feel and think to push myself to the next level.

If I didn’t do this, I don’t think I would be sat here writing to you today.

In our 7 Keys program we have been exploring mindset a lot, and people are starting to push out of their comfort zones.

This is what I share in today’s episode

Have you ever had moments when you feel like everything is going wrong? Everything you touch seems to turn into a disaster??

I had been experiencing this lately, so many things going wrong that I started to spiral and feel I couldn’t take much more.

I went to see my friend, Sharon in floods of tears.  

In today’s episode I share a huge epiphany that came on my flight to Nashville.

I was reading the book, Think and Grow Rich and in the opening page there was a note to myself from around 5 years ago!

I share what was in the note and why it has been such a shift in how I am now viewing my life.

Last week I felt like everything was going wrong, this week I feel like everything is going right - from one simple statement I read in a book.

I also share my insights from my recent mastermind event in Nashville.

I have been feeling burnt out recently - do you know the feeling??  When it feels like your head is in hundreds of different places, everything is coming at you at once.  It feels like you can’t catch your breath. I share in today’s episode how I have been feeling this way and how I am overcoming it.

“ Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not.  Remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for” - Epicurus

But, what if we have big dreams?? Is it wrong to focus on them???

Striking the balance between keeping your feet on the ground and aiming for the stars is what I talk about in today’s episode.

We can often get caught up in what we don’t have and miss the magic that is happening in our lives, right in this every moment.

Have the most amazing week :)

If I asked you to carve out 60 seconds this week, what would you do in that time?? How would you spend it??

We often allocate an hour or a day on tasks, but what if you allocate just one minute? What could you achieve within one minute?

How would you choose to utilise that precious 60 seconds?

Maybe this is the time for you to allocate 60 seconds a day to something you've been putting off? That 60 seconds may eventually become 60 minutes dedicated to something you truly want to pursue in life.

At times, we have to start small.

Perhaps dedicating 60 seconds to yourself or a drawing is all you are capable of... or all you need right now.

This is what I contemplate in today's super short episode!

Enjoy and let me know how you spend your 60-second moment this week.
