How can you care less about what others think? 👀

A constant search for external validation is exhausting and disheartening. When we care about what others think we transfer power to them -- instead of building it within ourselves.

With social media documenting and informing the trends society says we should follow in order to be accepted, focusing on what feels good to you individually is a radical act.

But when you manage to make choices based on what you care about rather than what you think matters to others, you'll feel SO MUCH better inside. The act builds your self-esteem -- and that's because it's something you can control.

When you focus on something out of your control (i.e. how people react to you), the variables are vast and can backfire against what you may expect, making you feel poorly. However, focusing only on what you can control -- and eliminating the rest -- builds self-agency, self-esteem and self-identity.

So how to do it? When making choices, think to yourself:
~ Am I doing this for me or for how others may think of me?
~ Does this align with my values?
~ Is there any way I can control the outcome of this choice? If not, how will I react to that?
~ What systems or people are influencing me to make this choice?
~ Will this choice make me happy?

Read my book, 'Paperback Therapy' for more, and check out the 'Power to Control' exercise on page 25. 📖

International copies of my book have started arriving to Sydney! 🌏

I'm so excited to see these in-person, and understand how the international publishing teams have interpreted and designed the exercises within to help their local readers -- they've done such a great job!

Here you can see the Brazilian and Taiwanese editions, as well as the original Australian/New Zealand/United Kingdom 'Paperback Therapy'.

Still to arrive: Turkey, Latin America and Poland. ✈️

Feeling so grateful that a global audience has found this book of mine.
It was written for all of you. 🩵

I devoured this book, nodding and thinking of all my girlfriends I would gift it to with both hands, emphatically saying 'read this -- it will help'. ❤️‍🔥

Burnout is a topic that really gets its legs this time of year.

Christmas decorations hitting store shelves brings the internal pressure of 'the year is almost over and I haven't achieved anything' (which is almost always a lie, BTW).

We're tired, it's been almost 11 months of working at a fast pace, and yet there's still so many weeks to go until we can mentally 'reset' on Jan 01.

Exploring the usual sleep cycles and nutrition themes for books like this, 'BURNOUT' by sisters Emily and Amelia Nagoski, takes it further with evidence-based insights around the patriarchy, the biological stress cycle, and reframing 'rest' to make it work for us.

'Read this -- it will help'!

It's okay to rest. 🛌

If you feel tired, listen to your body and support it -- by prioritising sleep, nutritious and iron-rich foods, bloodwork at the doctor to see if there's an underlying issue, saying 'no' for a few days so you can have a restful evening, seeking support from friends and family for the little things, and more.

Being tired is a signal. It's not the weakness our hustle culture makes it out to be.
