Have a cup of tea
With yourself
Start choosing you
for the good of everyone else
Sit with the discomfort
If it bubbles up
because setting boundaries
Is filling your cup.

A little poem I wrote to ponder into the new year ❤️ remember what is truely good for you can never be bad for anyone else.

Forget achieving your goals

Just joking… however there is something much more important just below the surface of goal setting that is incredibly important to be aware of.

What we as humans enjoy is the action of moving towards something, the motivation, purpose and meaning it gives us.

It’s really not about achieving the goal.
It’s about who you become along the way and what you experience as a result of setting it.

It’s about growth, becoming and evolving into a new and improved version of yourself.

Trust me… you don’t really want to reach the end.
Your mind wants to quell the anxiety of “wanting to get it done and finished” But you will never arrive! All you will achieve is the end of that seeking energy.

Your freedom is here in the middle of all it all. Don’t believe that the end goal is what you want, what you want. It’s the journey I promise, amidst the good bad and ugly stories that life unfolds.

So set your New Years goals, but enjoy the journey ❤️

Forget vision boarding 😳
Try “emotional visioning”

We are essentially "feeling" creatures… we only ever do things or buy things in order to feel a certain way.

Next time you have a desire to do something, check in with yourself and ask why? it always comes down to wanting to experience a certain feeling.

If you don’t create a vision for yourself you allow yourself to be guided by other people’s and therefore never live a life authentic to you.

Your vision consists of your:
Values
Dreams
Desires
Goals

The exercise i'm about to share with you isn’t about vision boarding (which is a really incredible tool if you've never done it) … This is all about “feelings”.

A vision for your future should be centred around your emotional well being, so focus on the feelings you want to experience rather than obtaining tangible objects.

And then... trust and allow life to fill in the blanks.

There might just be something off your radar and ready to come into your life that you don’t even know you needed or even existed.

So here it is... get out your journal.

1. Reflect on the last six months and write down the first five emotions that come to mind.

2. Now write down the first five emotions you want to feel moving into the new year.

3. What current habits are supporting your emotional vision? what are hindering it?

4. What do you need to let go of or become more mindful of in order to support your emotional vision?

5. What can I add in to my life that helps cultivate those feelings on a daily, hourly basis? What or who is in my life that already brings about these feelings?

✨Serendipity… 🎧🎵Diary of a CEO is a podcast that I just happened to promote in my autumn 📰newsletter last month ➡️swipe to see 😊

And then like magic 🪄last week I got to meet the man who I get daily inspiration from on my walks around Battersea park 🎉

is the youngest Dragon 🐉 on he made his name by starting a company at 22 from his bedroom called

It is now worth an estimated £300M 😍🙌

But it’s not the money that interests me… it’s the mindset, personal development, growth and the vulnerability that got him to where he is that I find so fascinating.

Chatting with Steven he told me his favourite quote to live by was “whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right” ~ Henry Ford.

Because at the end of the day it’s true, there are far less qualified or talented people doing things that you want to be doing simply because they believed they could and took that chance.

One of my favourite episodes from is the one with as it was super vulnerable and it surprised me how self aware and mindful he was.

Stevens favourite interview on his podcast was with “The happiness expert” which I also thought was a phenomenal listen.

Check out his book “sexy happy millionaire” ❤️

What’s your favourite quote? 👇
