FRIENDSHIPS... A STRONG NETWORK OF ENCOURAGEMENT

FRIENDSHIPS..

Are you making the right sort of friendships? Here Is a little thought for you today.

This is something I have really created so much awareness around. Embodying myself in friendships that lift me up, encourage me and will stand the test of time. The friendship networks we build will also have an impact on how successful we will be. Having friends that are part of your journey and stand by you will give you the confidence to keep striving for your goals and bring your dream to a reality.

Self care is something we tend to neglect a lot, can you relate? But hear me when I say this is a very important part of our self care rituals. Having that coffee with friends to catch up and talk. This can be a perfect way to tap into how we are really feeling. And having the support together with family there to help us. Truthfully, these strong support networks become like family which is a beautiful thing.

SOME BENEFITS OF HEALTHY FRIENDSHIPS. 
1- Improve your mood
2- help you reach your goals.
3- Reduce stress and depression.
4- Support through tough times.
5-  Boost your self worth.

There are also things to be aware of when choosing friends, Make sure that they have an interest in your life, how you feel and what you say. Make sure they listen to you with out trying to change the way you feel. And always remember it's a two way street. Focus on how it makes you feel. do you feel comfortable and good after talking to that friend?

To have better relationships make sure you are a better friend yourself. Show kindness, compassion and understanding towards others and you will see a strong network start to form in your life.

FOUR THINGS I'VE LEARNED AS A ENTREPRENEUR.

Well if you had asked me 3 years ago if this is what I wanted to do, I would have probably laughed!.

It's funny how for some of us it takes so long to find that something we are good at and love to do. That something that can make a difference. I guess better late than never right? But there are three things that I have learned starting my journey as a entrepreneur. I'd love to share them with you, here we go.....

SELF CARE
This one thing is so very important if you are constantly creating behind a screen. I find I have to allow my brain time everyday to disconnect and just STOP for a while. Getting up and going for a walk, making a coffee and getting some fresh air.  Our poor brains can become so overloaded that we have to give it time to release and catch a breath. Self awareness is the key listening to your body when it says to take a break.

GUT INSTINCT.
I truly rely on this now. I was never one to follow what my gut was trying to tell me. But Now I have learnt that it's my secret weapon to trust the most. We all at some point sort out advice from others, continuing research but it's what we follow through with that advice is the important thing. Always trust your instinct, if something isn't right your gut instinct will tell you

HAVING A CLEAR MISSION,  PURPOSE, VISION OR WHY.
I have found that everything as an Entrepreneur comes back to your big WHY. WHY do you want to do this.  Why do you want to help others? How do you want to show up in this world and who do you want to serve. Just keep revisiting this when things get tough and your buried in the grindstone and want to quit this will help reinforce your mission statement again.

RECOGNIZING MINDSET BLOCKS.
It's time to take a close look at any mind blocks that might be stopping you from being successful. I know that some of the most successful Entrepreneurs have the innate ability  to recognize roadblocks and successfully push past them to be more powerful and positive.

I'm in the early stages of my journey with a way to go and I have no fancy qualifications. Just a whole lot of life experiences that I want to share with the world to help other women move forward in their life and find success. I'm ready to take on opportunities that may come my way in the new year ahead with no fear just a passion to succeed and make a difference.
