Start here with these 7 ideas that will re-energise and reconnect you to what matters the most: 

1. Start saying, “yes!” to the ideas and projects that fill you with passion, even if they scare you. Ask yourself, when you did something new and go for it. Commit yourself wholeheartedly to it? You are what you do, so spend time on the things that matter to you. Learn about “The Art of Possible” & stay positive.

2. Start saying, “no!” to the ideas and projects that do not inspire you and fill you with dread and anxiety. So you have time to do more of point 1.

3. Stop trying to please everyone. You cannot lead your life doing things simply because you are afraid of what other people will say about you.

4. Do something for YOU. Yes, put yourself on your today list. Get on with it – you are worth it. It’s not about pedicures or manicures. It’s about giving yourself the gift to simply have the mental space to ponder on what matters most to you – no appointment to be kept.

6. Eliminate the things that were good for a season but no longer work for your new season you are in. What can you eliminate or stop.

7. Reconstruct the life you want on a day by day basis and surround yourself with people that celebrate you.
