Choose Happiness
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.
I know that's a big claim, but it has.
Instead of asking, am I happy with this Whatever 'this' is.
Am I happy in my business?
Am I happy in my relationships?
Am I happy in myself?
It's such a BIG question.
But if I ask myself...
Have I made or am I making progress in my business?
Have I made or am I making progress in my relationships?
Have I made or am I making progress with myself?
How much better does that feel?
And if you're making progress, you're doing great!
Sometimes I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be % happy with everything that we're doing and I think it's super unrealistic.
So this is a new way of looking at your growth and hopefully makes you happier too.

Change Is Necessary.
Sometimes the things we CANNOT change end up changing us.
Every experience lends itself to an opportunity to learn something about ourselves.
Often we cannot change an outcome, situation or person for that matter but in that resistance if we look inside we can find a lesson.
Find a different approach. It's not about feeling stuck, but about resilience and acceptance.

It Takes Courage
Really. 𝐈𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. (2 min read)
Life is a cycle; at times it can seem never-ending when you try, fail, give up, and try again.
TRUTH IS… You can create your own attitude toward success. It takes practice and consistent effort, but it’s definitely possible, and it starts with something very simple: change what you feed your mind.
WOHOO! I want to commend you for your efforts in realizing that you are deserving of change. But there is another thing that can hold you back from trying again.
Fear can be paralyzing. It can hold you back and keep you from realizing your optimum potential.
The fear of change—of loss, of being wrong, or of being embarrassed—brings examples of emotional barriers that can rob you of opportunities for happiness and success.
These emotional barriers often get in the way of opportunities for positive change. Your ability to move through these barriers and to muster the courage to move beyond your fears is the hallmark of an effective leader.
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change

Dealing with Trauma
Dealing with Trauma
Truth is...Traumatic events, by definition, overwhelm our ability to cope. When the mind is overloaded with emotion, a circuit breaker is thrown, allowing us to endure the experience with little damage.
We cannot heal until we move fully through that trauma, including all the feelings of the event.

Today, I want to tell you to become shameless about your past and become empowered in your story.
No one can ever throw stones at you once you accept yourself and become your
own advocate for overcoming pain and adversity. No one can throw stones at
someone who has accepted and started to love themselves unconditionally.
This is when true empowerment happens when you are no longer afraid, no longer ashamed, and no longer judging yourself for your past...
Own your past, and let that become the purpose of why you do what you do today because you don't want anyone else going through what you had to go through...
"Let your wounds be your inspiration. Your story your motivation and your voice is your secret weapon to inspire others"

As women we’re taught to sacrifice ourselves...
YES, we often put our own needs in last place. Sounds familiar?
Always, someone or something is more important than we are. With time, it seems as though our value decreases, and we stop loving the most important person in our lives – ourselves.
During our women's conference, we will celebrate women and their journeys, encourage them to be strong, bold, and fearless, and come together to create a safe, supportive community.

Manage your feelings
Manage Your Feelings.
We should work daily to improve & develop ourselves. We spent so much energy trying to change people's opinions about us. Constantly arguing and defending ourselves about how we are being perceived. And these distractions make us lose focus on our assignments and purpose in life.
Emotional intelligence is being able to understand and manage your own personal emotions as well as doing the same for other people’s emotions.
There are three skills which are attributed to being emotionally aware:
Being emotionally self-aware
Being able to grasp the emotions that you are feeling and apply them
Being motivated and having a positive mental attitude
Having empathy for others
Interacting with people: social skills
Now let’s take a deeper look at each of these levels of emotional intelligence and see how achieving them can make you feel better.
Being emotionally self-aware
When you have a change of emotion, can you recognize it in yourself? Or does it take others to tell you how you are acting. Your answer to this question is quite revealing on the subject of your emotional intelligence. If you can, you have achieved the first level of emotional intelligence. If you cannot, you should try to look deeper into your feelings and when or why you encounter hem. This can take time but keeping notes about your emotions can help you to notice patterns.
This is the first level of emotional intelligence because you can only help yourself and others if you first understand yourself and your emotions.
2. Being able to grasp the emotions that you are feeling and apply them
The next step builds upon the first because once you have understood the emotions that you are experiencing, you can work on being able to apply them to your everyday life. Perhaps you will be able to harness a feeling of social anxiety and ensure that this does not disrupt your day. You can also use your emotions to change how adaptable you are to situations changing or how you interact with others. These are positive changes and although they may not feel natural at first, they will have a good impact on your life and those around you.
3. Being motivated and having a positive mental attitude
Using the emotional awareness and application techniques that you have at this point, you should be able to understand how you can achieve a positive mindset. By applying the feelings of positivity, happiness and effort, you will invoke motivation and a sense of self. This can help you at work if you have a complicated deadline and need to power through or while exercising for example to help you reach a new personal best. This can even help you to meet new people and find new friends with common interests. All of which, will have a positive impact on your life and will help you to feel better.
4. Having empathy for others
Once you have gained a sense of your own emotions and how to manage them, it is important to be able to understand the same in others. This is obviously different to your own emotional intelligence as nobody feels or thinks in the same way. This can help to avoid misunderstandings amongst family or friends and even help you to anticipate other people’s needs in a working or social environment. This makes it easier for other people to have empathy with you in return. Trying to be aware of other people’s feelings can have a very positive effect on your own feelings about yourself. This can result in having a greater social understanding and feeling more positive.
5. Interacting with people: social skills
The last one on the list: being able to interact with people. This is vital as it applies all of the above skills. If you fully understand your own emotions and how to apply them as well as other people’s emotions and how they apply them, themselves, then you can interact with others on an empathetic level.
This can make you more satisfied as it means that you can form true and lasting bonds while also understanding people’s tones and not assuming the meaning behind what they say. For introverted personalities who finding interacting with others more difficult, commanding these skills can make it easier to socialize and talk to people.
Emotional intelligence is equally important as IQ in many ways. Being able to support yourself emotionally as well as others can improve your performance and well-being while also giving back to others. Paying attention to your emotions and utilizing the above points will ensure you are more aware of emotional intelligence and this can have a hugely positive impact on you as an individual.

Overcome Failures. Positive Minds.
Positive Minds
Overcome Failures. Positive Minds.
Everyone hates to fail but what most people don’t realize is that failing is part of success. Anyone who has ever succeeded has failed many times. So, how do you overcome failure? How did you learn to ride a bike? Here are 5 keys to overcoming failure.
1. Learn from Your Mistakes and Failures
How did you learn to ride a bike? The short answer: you fell off 100 times. Every time you make a mistake or fail, learn as much as you can from it so that you are better prepared next time.
Action Step: Write down the top things that you learned from your last mistake or failure.
2. Don’t Dwell on It.
Now that you have learned something from your mistake, move on. Don’t dwell on your past. You can’t tell where you are going if you are looking backwards. Also, dwelling on your past failures will keep you in prison right where you are.
Action Step: Read what you have written down in Key 1 (The 5 Things You Learned)
3. Don’t Be Afraid to Try Again.
Don’t let the fear from your last failure stop you from reaching your greatness, goal, dream, or potential. Just like learning to ride that bike, you didn’t fall once or twice and then give up.
Action Step: Take what you have learned and try it again now that you are better prepared.
4. Surround Yourself with Positive People.
No matter what it is that you are trying to achieve, surround yourself with successful people that have done what you want to do. One of the best ways to overcome failure is to learn how other people just like you overcame failure. This will not only encourage you but give you proof that it can be done.
Action Step: Find a person or a group of people who are successful and get around them as soon as possible.
5. Realizing Failure is Part of the Learning Curve
Failure and mistakes aren’t fun but they are what help us learn to be great at whatever it is we are trying to achieve. “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
Action Step: Think back to a time where you succeeded. Then think how many times you failed or made mistakes to get to that success.
