When long time online friends meet in real life 💚

Finally had the pleasure of meeting my beautiful friend in person this weekend & I popped my Sheffield cherry 🍒

It’s been 1.5 - 2 years we’ve known each other for now, we even spent last Christmas Day together on Zoom

She’s been my mentor, very special hilarious friend & been there in some of my toughest moments…

🍞 ~ We started off at for brunch - best mushrooms ever!
🛍️ ~ Lil bit of vintage & charity shop shopping
☕️ ~ for coffee & cake
⛰️ ~ A little hike in the Peaks
🦊 ~ Lucky fox famous fried chicken

Really enjoyed the slower chilled pace of Sheffield compared to Liverpool & can’t wait to return!

The best thing about working online is being able to connect with lifelong friends who you might have never known otherwise & the best bit is then meeting in person 🙌

Until we meet again xx

Tips to journal 📝👇

It can feel silly at first & hard to know what to journal about - I get it - I’ve been there!

But when I started to commit to actually giving it a go consistently, it’s been a mindset *game changer* for me feeling more gratitude & abundant daily

Here are some tips on what & when to journal..

👉 Start small - less than 5 minutes per day, best time is usually either when you get up to set your day in good spirits or at the end of the day before you go to sleep

👉 Write 3-5 things you are grateful for & why in your life (could be as simple as - the sun, the bed you sleep in or someone you love)

👉 Write 3 wins that happened that day (again can be as simple as someone gave you a compliment, you handled something well in work or you found £1 on the floor)

👉 If you feel you are overwhelmed by lots of thoughts & overthinking - just get out your pen & paper - start free writing all your thoughts out - it doesn’t have to make sense - it can just help to clear space in your head by moving them to paper

👉 If you are having negative thoughts about something- how can you switch it into a more positive reframe & keep writing that instead as an affirmation to help reaffirm that new belief in your mind & body

👉 The book that helped me fully embrace journaling & how to feel more daily gratitude was “The Magic” - stay open & follow the steps each day & it becomes a new habit.. & naturally you will be looking more for the best in situations not the worst…

*what we focus on expands* - the more we can recognise all the great & richness we have & that is around us - the more that will come back to us

Struggling with journaling & need any tips on where to start - comment below & I can share some pointers

I sold my car to start my online biz —do I regret it? 🚗⤵️

Sure I miss it for impromptu solo hikes & handiness. But, honestly no regrets!

Coz its about the bigger picture here

I refuse for my one short life to be tied to a job thats restrictive, drains me or doesn’t light up my soul

I won't settle for a life that doesn't let me explore this Earth, support it or provide for myself & loved ones

Building *any* biz will either require investment, ongoing expenses, overheads, training or outsourcing if you want it to grow 📈

Did I let that scare me - when I wasn’t in the best financial position??

NO! of course not I just got resourceful.

If others did it in a similar if not worse position ~ *why not me?*

I also sold furniture, juggled bills & subscriptions, got a part-time job - anything to ease monthly finances

Why?… Coz my vision for FREEDOM is my NON-NEGOTIABLE 🕊️

& the online biz model I found after a lot of searching - although requires *upfront* work, effort & consistency..

is THE BEST way I found to create *Long Term* time, health & financial freedom *far sooner* than any job

I know precisely what I *don't want* my life to look like & that propels me

👉 My advice to help evaluate if any new opportunity is worth your work or investment:

• don’t approach it first with: “How much is the cost?” ❌

• but rather first with: “What RETURN will this give me?” ✅

examine the returns on your: energy, finances, health, time, personal development, relationships & whole life!

Once you open up & *embrace the possibilities* that’s when you’ll discover starting is EASIER than you realise!

What’s a few short-term sacrifices for long-term gains?

Don't give up so easily; open yourself to a world of possibilities

There are ALWAYS ways & options!!!

Let’s explore them…

YOUR dreams are sooo worth it friend 💫✌️
