Inspirational Messages of Hope, Belief, Faith and Love from

Courageous Women 🧡

It can’t have escaped your notice that it was International Women’s Day on Wednesday last week and I was very lucky to get a complimentary invitation to attend the Aspire International Woman’s Day “It’s a M.A.D World” Global Event.

Aspire is a female leadership development organisation led by Dr. Sam Collins and she was one of the first of many inspirational women who inspired and empowered me to start my solopreneur journey to do my bit to make a difference to women’s lives for the better.

I was looking forward to the webinar and it didn’t disappoint. It was a real privilege to have listened to these inspirational stories from courageous, soul-led, passion-filled, purpose-driven women, who have followed their soul callings against all odds and in the face of adversity and danger.

So, I’m “paying it forward” and hope you’ll take some time to watch this webinar too.

WATCH THIS for truly inspiring messages of self-belief, courage, passion, kindness and soul-led callings for the greater good of humanity❤️

You also need to watch it if you ever feel self-doubt, lack of self-belief, anxiety and fear holding you back from your soul-led aspirations and true purpose in life.

It truly fanned the flames deep in my soul and put my personal worries, concerns and challenges firmly where they need to be – fading into insignificance!!!

Here are the main inspirational messages that struck a chord with me:

💥BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS💥

It’s more important than anything else and you have to belief you deserve anything and everything you want in your life and that it is available to you.

JUST TAKE MESSY ACTION!🎯

Don’t be the sort of woman who has to do things perfectly or not at all. Perfection stifles growth, creativity and opportunity. Take messy action and keep moving forward.

THERE IS POWER IN PURPOSE🚀

Choose to focus on what makes you feel fulfilled, satisfied and gives you purpose in your life. There is meaning and power in purpose that can help you overcome any challenges you face.

DON’T LET ANYONE ELSE CONTROL YOUR LIFE🙌

It’s your life and only YOU is responsible for what you do with it and how you live it!

I hope you take as much inspiration as I did from watching the webinar.

But if you feel that self-doubt, anxiety, fear and a lack of self-belief is holding you back and keeping you stuck from having the success you desire in your work and life, then please do get in touch. The doors are open for enrolment this week to my new online group programme!

It’s a good day to remind ourselves to #BreakTheBias we all still face on the road towards equity in our careers and lives, especially the unconscious bias we hold against ourselves.

It’s not our fault – it’s human nature. We are wired to focus more on the negative than the positive, something called “negativity bias” which is our brain’s primitive survival mechanism to keep us alive.

How does this show up for us?

Dr. Rick Hansen explains it well in his book “Hardwiring Happiness”:

“the default setting of the brain is to overestimate threats, underestimate opportunities, and underestimate resources both for coping with threats and for fulfilling opportunities.”

AKA:
FEAR, ANXIETY, SELF-DOUBT, LACK OF SELF-BELIEF AND FAITH IN YOUR SKILLS & STRENGTHS = IMPOSTER SYNDROME = MISSED OPPORTUNITIES = UNFULFILLED POTENTIAL! 😞

There is growing evidence that our perceptions of ourselves and our abilities have a massive impact on whether we achieve our aspirations and succeed in our careers.

💥BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS💥

Here’s my 3 top tips to make a start and #BreakTheBias you have unconsciously against yourself:

✨When a negative thought or doubt creeps in, notice it and realise it’s your primitive brain protecting you. Get it out of your head, write it down, reframe and counter it with at least 3 more supportive thoughts to outweigh the negative.⚖️

✨Make a list of everything that you’re proud of yourself for doing or accomplishing in your life, whether it’s overcoming a challenge or adversity or something you did really well. Really tune into that sense and feeling of pride. Then get into the habit of making this a daily practice by noting down your daily “wins” big or small.🏆

✨List at least 5 people who you have helped to remind you of the value you have to offer and always keep a treasure trove of any positive feedback, compliments and testimonials you receive on a daily basis.🧡 Read them whenever you need an extra boost of confidence and self-belief. 💥

If you don’t already do this, start today and #BreakTheBias you hold unconsciously against yourself first.

✨I hope you have an inspirational day! ✨

I’m looking forward to attending the Aspire International Women’s day “It’s a M.A.D World” Global Event.🙌

The February Funk

You know what I mean, the good intentions, optimism and motivation to do things differently at the start of a brand new year may be slowly fading and those old, familiar feelings of self-doubt, dejection, disenchantment, malaise and “I can’t do this” creep back in.🤦‍♀️

I’m always inspired by my clients and this has been the topic of conversation this week.

We’ve all experienced it and it’s normal because our minds love the familiar, well trodden neural pathways we’ve grown up with. Its job is to help us survive and it will always want to keep us away from fear and pain, safe and secure in our familiar comfort zone. Even if that safe, secure comfort zone holds us back from what we really want.

In fact, it can take anywhere between 66 -70 days to rewire and change the way you think and the habits and behaviours associated with your thinking, according to neuroscientists.

The good news is that you have the ability to control this process so it keeps going in a positive direction and you proactively manage your mind!🧠

How to get unstuck

All it takes is a little bit of awareness💡, reflection 🤔, some writing✍️ and a “possibilities” mindset🙌🏻 as well as the usual suspects like good sleep, exercise, nutrition and meditation.

Next time you get in a funk try asking yourself these “unlocking” questions to challenge your beliefs, open up possibilities and shift you into a more positive energy.

Unlocking questions

Then take that one small action.

E-MOTION = energy in motion and as soon as you start to take some action, you’re in motion and shifting your energy!

You have the Power!

Your thoughts create your feelings,your feelings create your actions and your actions create your reality and your beliefs can either limit your potential or enhance it.

You don’t have to stay stuck in the funk, once you start to tune in and question and challenge your beliefs, often that can be enough to start clearing them.

As Kyle Gray so eloquently puts it:

“Your mind is an energetic space……..

MIND + ENERGY  = MATTER

So what you focus on in your mind, you support creating!”

You always have a choice and the power to create your reality and your future.
