One thing I've learned to do is: (This post isn't for you if you've overcome your fears) ↳ Doing it afraid. I've realized that the fear is always there: • Fear of failing • Fear of wasted efforts • Fear of what people will say When I'm given a new task, my first thought is often, "Can I do this?" It takes extra effort for me to say yes. Even after saying yes, self-doubt whispers, "Are you sure you can do this?" How do I win over this most times? 1. Acknowledging the fears 2. Giving myself affirmations 3. Ignoring the loud noise of self-doubt 4. Riding on the positive energy around me (those who believe in me) 5. Putting in effort to make sure I get it right (I shock my fear with results) 6. When I fail, I sulk and then move on quickly with boldness If you're like me and still have your fears and self-doubt lurking around, follow the 6 steps above. This week, I’m going at it again, doing it afraid. What about you? Happy new week, Fam! ♥️

This is an exciting time of year! Hey, hear me out 😜 I know what you're thinking... "Melanie, things are about to get REALLY busy / hectic / stressful / overwhelming (if they haven't already) and you call it exciting?” As people return from the “summer break”, kids go back to school and everyone knuckles down with everything that they want to /need to be done before the end of the year, there is such a great energy around. We hear it in our conversations and commitments, we see it through people’s actions. There's stuff to do and we want to get it done!!! See? Exciting 😬 Yet, sometimes we get caught up with the excitement, and we don't realise that what we're spending all out time and energy on is not actually in our best interests - or could actually be counter to them. So, before you get whipped up into the Year-end Frenzy, I'd encourage you to pause and reflect. What's important to you? If you already know what's important, make sure you build some time into your schedule for you (no matter how big or small this time is). Make it sacred. If you're not yet clear, then why not book a discussion with me to get some clarity? It may just be the best thing you put you on your to-do-list this week. Speak soon!

Halle-frigging-lujah Friday is finally here! As we head into the weekend, let’s take a moment to reflect on how we showed up this week. It’s super helpful to spend just 5 minutes each day, free from distractions, to think about: ·     What went well today? ·     How did you handle challenges? ·     Did you stay true to your values? ·     What strengths did you use that you can build on tomorrow? Then, at the end of the week, take a bit more time to look back. Weekly reflections can help you: ·     Spot Patterns: Notice any recurring themes in your wins and struggles. ·     Celebrate: Give yourself credit for what you’ve achieved. ·     Set Goals: Plan out what you want to focus on next week. ·     Be your unapologetic self: Make sure you’re staying aligned with your long-term goals and values. Enjoy the weekend you beautiful people ❤️

January came with a lot of experience for me. It came with celebration and pains. In all, I am glad I scaled through and achieve one of my goals. Here comes a new month where our eyes are set to hit the target. ✅ Define Clear Objectives: ✅ Identify the most important goals that align with your overall priorities. ✅ Break it down Into Tasks: ✅ Divide each goal into smaller, manageable tasks.This makes it easier to track progress. ✅Create a Schedule: ✅ Allocate specific time slots in your calendar for working on these tasks. ✅ Consistency is key. Set Milestones: ✅ Establish checkpoints or milestones throughout the month to track your progress. ✅ Stay Flexible: ✅ Be adaptable. Life can be unpredictable, so allow for adjustments in your plan. ✅ Eliminate Distractions: ✅ Minimize potential distractions during your dedicated work time to boost productivity. ✅ Reflect Regularly: ✅ Take brief moments to reflect on your progress. ✅ Adjust your strategy if necessary. ✅ Celebrate Achievements: ✅ Acknowledge and celebrate small victories to stay motivated. ✅ Seek Support: ✅ Remember, the key is to create a plan that suits your style and circumstances. ✅ Good luck with your goals in February! 🥰 Cheers Happy new month

Thankful Thursday! Today, let's take a moment to reflect on the past and how it shapes who we are today. Remember, the past doesn't define us, but it can teach us valuable lessons that help us grow stronger and wiser. When faced with unexpected challenges, it's important to stay present and not let our fears and anxieties get the best of us. Instead, take a deep breath, seek out the facts, and remember that fears are not facts. Let's find the courage within ourselves to lean boldly into adversity and expand our perceptions. We were born to be creators, not victims, of our reality. Let's act on our convictions and what we stand for. As Leonard Cohen so eloquently said, "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." Embrace the beauty of imperfection and the unknown, because that's what makes the journey of life exciting and worth living.

🌟 Happy first day of April, everyone! 🌟 It’s also April Fools Day! My favorite prank as a child was wrapping a rubber band around the spray hose in the kitchen sink 😂 Who else loved to get a little mischievous on this special day? But beyond the fun and games, a particular memory from my high school days came to mind. The morning announcements always ended with the reminder: "Make it a great day or not, Bulldogs, the choice is yours." Back then, it was just a familiar phrase, but looking back, I realize the profound truth in those words. It truly is up to us to decide if it's going to be a great day. As we embrace this fresh new month, I want to encourage you to keep these three key takeaways in mind: 1️⃣ You have the power to make every day a great day. No matter the challenges, there's always an opportunity to learn and grow. 2️⃣ Your choices shape your outcomes. Make positive choices, and positivity will follow. Choose wisely, and with purpose. 3️⃣ Embrace the new month as a chance to set new goals and conquer new challenges. Let's approach this new chapter with determination and drive. Let's make it a great month, everyone! The power is in our hands. #NewMonthNewOpportunities #meddevice #CST #ChoosePositivity #MakeItAGreatDay

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪. You can't be good at anything you wish to know if you don't keep doing it. Funnily enough, it happens like magic- you can become an expert only if you keep practicing. Even if it is an inherent gift, you can always get better when you keep doing it. I get it that you might get discouraged when people point out your mistakes. My dear, accept it with joy. Trust me, if you work on that mistake, you'll never repeat it. Don't be proud or shy to seek advice from people who know better. Don't lie to yourself about knowing what you're finding difficult. Instead of burying yourself in it and still not getting a solution, speak up to others. When you don't talk, no one will know how to help you. In essence, what I'm saying is that you should continue doing what you're doing. There's always an opportunity to get better. Don't let your mistakes discourage you, they are lessons for you to learn from. I don't know if this makes any sense at all, but I hope it does. HAPPY NEW WEEK.😊 © Keren
