Maya's Little Dream

Hi, fellow happiness seeker!

Welcome to my page 🧡

My name is Maya, and I am 25 years old.

I'm currently on a journey to live a financially free life.

To make that happen, I started my own online business.

Having this online business means that I can work from anywhere. Plus, I get to choose my own hours and the amount of work I want to put in my business.

Long story short, this business gives me the opportunity to be in full control over my own life.

To live on my own terms is very important for me because only then can I put my mental health first.

I know when I am most productive and when I need to rest. So, if I can choose when and where I work, I can do this in favor of my needs.

This way, I can give proper care to my mind and body.

What if you could build a business based on a life that would make YOU happy?

Would you believe me if I told you it is possible?

Because I'm actually doing it right now.

I can achieve financial freedom by pursuing my happiness.

What does happiness to me look like?

🧡 It's being able to put my mental health first
🏕 It's having the freedom to do whatever I want and whenever I want!
🥗 It's being able to create habits that are based on my health and needs
🫶 It's having the opportunity to learn from and meet like-minded people

Thanks to my business, I can pursue my dreams and true happiness.

If you want to achieve financial freedom, would you take the risk and start your own online business?

Or is something holding you back?

I made my first sweater 🥹

When I first started to crochet, I didn't know I was going to love it THIS much 😍

I was scared to learn it because I didn't like some other hobbies I've tried out recently.

But not with crocheting. I crochet every day a couple of hours 🤭

When I've done all my tasks for the day, crocheting is my reward and relaxation.

I also started to knit and I'm very excited!

I'm so happy I can crochet and knit for myself and for others without asking anything in return.

I love making myself and others happy! To see people happy with something I made is the biggest reward 🧡

This is the first piece of many to come, and I am so grateful that I found a lifestyle where I can go with my own flow and experiment with this hobby in my own time.

First time meeting UYF 🧡

Last weekend, I met some members of the .yourfreedom community for the first time 🥰

We had a meet-up in the Netherlands with some members who lived close by.

I was very excited to meet them.

A part of me building my business is because I wanted to be part of the community.

Somehow, I miraculously thought I would feel at home right away, but I was rather confronted with myself.

The people were all so lovely!! 🥰 but I was still very anxious. That doesn't just go away, and it was that moment that I realized that.

I felt that I pushed myself to be social. But that made me even more anxious and sad because I couldn't meet up to my own expectations.

So how could I change that?

Instead of pushing myself, I started to let go and just feel comfortable in me being quiet. It made me feel so much better.

I tried not to think about what others would think, but just try to feel comfortable myself first.

So I was really confronted with myself, and I'm happy about that. It showed me that I don't have to push myself anymore and that I first have to accept myself before I can grow.

Being in a safe place helped me a lot. Being surrounded by people who want to see me succeed and who are loving towards others is amazing. It makes me want to grow and be more confident 🧡

Take time to get to know yourself 🧡

Are you truly happy? Or are you just following what you think you are supposed to do?

Do you feel energised, or do you feel drained sometimes?

When I was working half-time, I felt drained. I put all my energy into my job, and there was no energy left to focus on my mental health and my happiness.

This caused me to drown more and more every week.

I was lucky that I had the option to take time for myself and get some rest.

This helped me to see my life more clearly.

Do you know what makes you happy? Do you feel stuck, or do you feel free?

Are there moments in your life where you can take the time to just spend on yourself?

These can help you to get to know yourself more 🧡

The only thing holding me back was myself 💌

Financial freedom has been a dream of mine for years.

So why didn't I go for it sooner?

When I saw ads about earning money online, I sometimes clicked on it.

I often thought it wasn't for me because the proposition didn't align with who I am, and I thought I could earn a living in my own way.

So I was constantly putting the idea out of my head, looking for other solutions.

Except they didn't come.

Nothing worked out the way I wanted it to.

There was one person who had an online business that I came across on my Instagram who stood out to me. Her positivity shone through the screen, same as people she worked with.

So eventually, I decided to just go for it, and I am so happy I made that decision 🥰

I can grow in my business, but even more, I can learn to love myself and learn to be my authentic self around others and inspire others to do the same 🧡

I jumped in the deep end 😂

Going for this business was a risk I was ready to make.

I had no idea how it would turn out or how it would be, but I felt that I wanted to go for it.

When I first got acquainted with the business opportunity, the training program, and the community, I had to think about if this was really something for me (I didn't need much convincing 😅).

But I still had to think about it because often I am enthusiastic to do something and then after a couple of days I'm bored with it or I'm moving on to something else.

However, I couldn't shake this opportunity, and I felt that I had to take this step or else I would regret it for the rest of my life.

So, for me, there wasn't much fear to take this step. I think that's because you feel through the whole training that you are supported through and through and that there are always people you can fall back on if you need it.

I'm happy to be here now, building my own online business 🥰🧡

🌼Surround yourself with positive people🌼

Surround yourself with people who celebrate you for who you are. People who leave a positive impact on your well-being. People who spread positive energy instead of negativity.

The people you surround yourself with have a big impact on how you feel. Do you leave them with a positive feeling about yourself? Do they help you grow in confidence? Or are they rather holding you back?

The power of a morning routine 🧡

Did you know that a morning routine sets your success for the rest of the day?

5 years ago, when I first started to take my mental health seriously, I was a morning routine guru 🤪
I got up early in the morning, I read, I wrote affirmations, I wrote what I was grateful for, I did a work out, I took care of my skin, sometimes I listened to a podcast or went for a walk, and so on.

I loved doing it, but somehow, it got lost on me.

I started to go to work, and I had a new relationship, so my situation was completely different, and at the time, I didn't know how to adjust to it. So I just stopped.

Since I came across this business opportunity and while following the training, I realized how important it is to have a morning routine (one that works for you!).

In the first weeks, I tried some things, but they sucked more energy out of me than they gave me. Which made me realize that these routines didn't work for me.

When I reflected on my current status, I came up with a routine that actually made me excited to go for it. A routine of which I know it would benefit me.

One of the things I'm learning myself again is writing in my diary. While building my business, my thoughts were all over the place, and I didn't feel like I had a concrete concept. So, I started to write in my journal to get a clear image of my thoughts and where I wanted to go with this business.

A morning (or evening) routine can have a very big impact on the rest of your day 🧡

🍂The more I know who I am, the less I care who you think I am🍂

The last couple of months, I've been focusing more and more on myself.

There are parts about me that aren't normal in other people's eyes.

For example, I like to be alone, and I hated to hang out with people.

Even I thought this wasn't normal, but after so many years, I caved in and didn't want to meet up with people anymore.

I wanted to focus on myself. I felt really relieved when I made that decision. It was a load of pressure that fell off my shoulders.

Without that pressure, I could focus more on things that DID make me happy, and I did.

I found joy in being alone, and the more I pursued that, the more I connected with myself and the more I understood myself.

Thanks to this, I started to get more confident, and my own self-worth became more important to me.

The more I get to know myself, the more I feel like I could go back out in the world again.

It's still a work in progress, but it's a nice journey 💚

I feel grateful 🧡

Grateful that I found an opportunity that makes me want to get up in the morning.

I am excited every day to start working on my business and on myself and on my dreams.

Though my life looks very different from how it looked a couple of weeks ago. So, I am still figuring out how to adjust.

The road hasn't always been going smoothly, but that's okay. There have been times where I was exhausted, but those times showed me I wasn't doing what was good for me.

So sometimes, I had to take a step back to see how I could move forward in a positive way. I wanted to do a lot of things all at once, but now I am only focusing on my business. That's the most important thing right now.

Since I made that decision, life has become much lighter for me, and I feel much more energetic.

There is less space for stress and more space for happiness and growth 🌻

🍁Feel to heal🍁

Did you know that in order to heal, you have to feel? If you aknowledge your emotions, then accept them, and then feel them, they might just go away. At first, maybe slowly, but the more you do it, the easier it gets.

For as long as I can remember, I have been living in a constant state of stress. I was conscious about everything, and my breath was shallow. It's only recently that I learned to take deeper breaths.

I saw a lot online about healing, but no one talked about how I could heal. Until one time, my body just pushed me to do it. It was the only option at the time.

Since then, I started to take time to just breathe and feel all the emotions I was feeling. Instead of pushing them away, I welcomed them.

It honestly feels really good. Because the emotions don't consume me anymore and sometimes it's a lot to feel a certain emotion, but if feels so good when they are moving out of my body again 💚
