✨ What you spend your time on is a reflection of what you value. ✨

Have you ever noticed that when you have no time, somehow you just get s**t done?

Give yourself an hour and suddenly you’re focused.

✅ Emails answered
✅ House tidy
✅ Errands done
✅ Decisions made

Give yourself a day and somehow that same list takes so much longer.

Parkinson’s Law describes the phenomenon that we expand our tasks to fill the time available. ⏳

But there’s another layer.

We don’t just manage our time based on what needs to get done.

We manage it based on what we VALUE.

If exercise is important to you, you’ll find a way to fit it in. 💪

If family is a priority, you’ll protect that time.

If your career matters, you’ll make time for your personal development.

Sometimes our values compete.

We might value health, but in that moment, family wins. Work wins. Something else wins.

Because, right now, we value it more.
There’s another layer:

✨ How much do you value efficiency and organisation? ✨

If you value efficiency, you’ll look for ways to simplify, organise and get things done.

If you don’t, you may procrastinate, overcomplicate things or spend time on tasks that don’t actually move you forward.

That impacts your output.

Two people with the same 24 hours, the same responsibilities and the same goals producing completely different results based on how they used their time.

Which brings me back to something I hear all the time:

✨I don’t have time to exercise✨

Maybe you genuinely don’t have an hour…. Or 20 minutes… Or even 10 minutes.

But the question isn’t:

✨Do I have time?✨

It’s:

✨Is this important enough for me to make time for?✨

Because your calendar tells you a lot about what you VALUE.

Not what you SAY you value.

What you MAKE TIME for.

And this is where YOUR wellbeing matters.

Because one day, you will look back on your life and reflect on what actually mattered.

Will it be all the extra hours you worked?

All those emails you answered?

The perfect house?

Or the time you spent with the people you loved, the time you spent looking after your health, experiencing life and being present for it?

So, don’t wait until the end of your life to realise what was important.

Make time for it now.

🫶 Keep what’s important, IMPORTANT.🤍

Emotional intelligence is knowing what to say and when to say it.

Emotional maturity is knowing when to be silent. 🤫

Sometimes we feel misunderstood and feel compelled to explain ourselves.

My side of the story!
My intentions…
My reasons!!
My version of what happened - ME!!

Not every situation requires an explanation.

Know that conversation doesn’t need to be had, simply because you feel a need to be understood.

Sometimes, the more you try to convince people of who you are, the more you reveal about where you are emotionally.

Choose your times to speak.
Practice how to listen.
Realise there are times to simply say nothing at all..

For me, it was easier to pretend there wasn’t another life. I adapted and moved forward through the life I was living is if it was the only one that could exist.

And yet, I returned after decades and felt a sense of belonging.

Things aren’t the same. Everything has changed.

Time has moved on. But something remains… a connection, a knowing, a feeling deep inside of belonging.

Although we cannot go back and change the past, we can seek to understand it. We can recognise patterns and choose to change our story.

There is freedom in that.

Freedom in forgiveness. Not to excuse. To release what no longer serves us.

We become who we are today, shaped by everything we’ve lived through, the good and the bad.

Perhaps most importantly we can recognise that we have choice!

✨Keep what’s important, important✨

✨Forgive and let go of what no longer serves you✨

✨Choose what ends with you, to end with you✨

✨ RETURNING TO YOURSELF ✨

There are moments in life when things happen that are outside our control.

People disappoint us.
Relationships change.
Things happen that we never asked for.

It’s okay to not be okay.

————————————-

But there comes a point where we have to gently ask ourselves:

What am I going to do with what has happened to me?

Because self worth grows when we stop giving away our power.

Taking responsibility does not mean taking responsibility for what someone else did to you.

It means being RESPONSE ABLE for you:

Your ❤️‍🩹 healing
Your boundaries
Your choices
Your 💭 thoughts
Your actions
Your life!

Your wellbeing does not depend on the actions of others.

Reclaim responsibility.

“I may not control what happened, but I can choose what happens next”

Sometimes the most powerful thing to do is 🛑 STOP

🛑 fixing
🛑 chasing
🛑 explaining
🛑 trying to control the outcome.

Take time to simply BE

🤔 Reflect
🙃 Feel
😮‍💨Breathe
📝Journal
🔁 Come back to yourself 🔁

Because your self worth isn’t something another person gets to give…. or take away from you!

✨JOURNAL CHALLENGE ✨

Begin your journal with this sentence:

“I am returning to myself at a higher frequency.

This is the version that stays.”

Then write:

WHO I ALREADY AM:

Complete the sentence with 8 things that are true about you.

For example:

* I am loving.
* I am resilient.
* I am worthy.
* I am enough.

Choose words that represent you, who YOU are at YOUR highest frequency.

Then read your eight statements eight times out loud! ♾️

Let yourself actually hear them.

♾️ LOCK IT IN ♾️

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

On 12 August, there is a total solar eclipse.

Whether you see the eclipse as a literal astronomical event or a symbolic moment, let it be a reminder:

You are allowed to return to yourself.

You are allowed to release what no longer serves you.

You are allowed to let go.

You are also allowed to decide:

✨This is where I take my power back.

Your past may explain you… It does not define you.

Your circumstances may have shaped you… They do not control you.

🤔 Perception and Reality 🤯

“I am not who I think I am.
I am not who you think I am.
I am who I think you think I am.”

Charles Horton Cooley

I’ve always found this quote incredibly thought provoking… and not just because it’s a bit of a tongue twister.

We spend so much of our lives outsourcing our sense of self to opinions that may not even exist.

✨Someone doesn’t reply to a message.
✨Someone gives us feedback.
✨Someone seems distant.

The event happens… and
our mind fills in the blanks.

✨They think I’m too much.
✨They think I’m upset.
✨They don’t like me.
✨They think I’m incompetent.

Notice what happens next.
Those thoughts create emotions.

🫢Embarrassment.
🫣Shame.
😫Anxiety.
🤨Self-doubt.
😱Fear.

But those emotions did not come from the other person…

They came from your interpretation of what you ✨believed✨ they were thinking.

The emotion feels real. But is it? Is it really? 🤷‍♀️

More often than not, that critical voice in your head isn’t theirs.

It’s yours.

You’ve simply given it someone else’s face.

That’s what I believe Cooley was pointing to.

We don’t become who others think we are.

We become who we believe others think we are.

And those beliefs shape how we show up, what we say 🗣️, what we hold back 😶, the opportunities we take, the relationships we build, and ultimately, who we become.

So perhaps the question isn’t,

“What do they think of me?”

It’s,

“Why have I chosen to believe that’s what they think?”

And even more importantly…

“What is this belief trying to teach me about myself?”
🥰

Because whatever you think you are…

✨You are more than that✨

“Weak people revenge.
Strong people forgive.
Intelligent people ignore.”

Albert Einstein

Most people live in a constant state of EFFECT.

They’re reacting.
* * * Triggered by what others say.
* * * Consumed by what other people do.
* * * Replaying conversations in their head.
* * * Needing validation.

They become so focused on everyone else that they lose self-awareness.

The strongest shift you can make in life is moving from EFFECT to CAUSE.

CAUSE asks:
What am I choosing?
What energy am I giving this?
What part of me still needs to heal?

Understanding yourself is the gateway to forgiveness. 🙏

Intelligence is knowing that sometimes no action is the best action.

Protect your energy.⚡️
Choose the state you want to live in.🏡☀️
Stop giving your power to people who don’t deserve it.

What are you grateful for today?

When you lift others up, you reject the idea of scarcity and embrace opportunity.

Success is for everyone.

Be the person that lifts others up…

Deepen your own sense of abundance and fulfillment and be more emotionally intelligent in every interaction.

Be gentle with yourself. Be your own best friend.

‘’I think midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear:

I’m not screwing around. It’s time. All of this pretending and performing – these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – has to go.

Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts. I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy of love and belonging, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever.

Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.’’
