🎄✨ Embrace True Holiday Joy: Disconnect to Reconnect ✨🎁

Amidst the twinkling lights and festive cheer, there’s a hidden pressure to stay plugged into work, even during this magical season. But this year, I challenge you to embrace the courage to disconnect. 🌟❤️

In our fast-paced world, the lines between work and personal life blur, tethering us to our devices 24/7. Yet, it’s not just okay—it's necessary—to reclaim your time and peace during these special moments.

Disconnecting over the holidays takes courage—to prioritize your mental well-being, set boundaries, and cherish the meaningful moments that truly count. It’s about declaring that your personal time holds more value than the demands of work.

Reflect on the magic of holiday movies like Elf. It's labeled as a comedy, yet it subtly reminds us of the beauty in disconnecting from the chaos, fostering genuine connections and rediscovering the true essence of the season.

This holiday, dare to disconnect. Gift yourself uninterrupted moments of joy and experience a deeper sense of fulfillment beyond the festivities. Embrace the bravery to honor your well-being, fostering a life that blends personal and professional time seamlessly. 🌠🎉

Wishing you a season filled with love, peace, and the courage to embrace genuine disconnection. ❤️🌲

Join the movement toward a more balanced holiday season! Share this post and tag a friend who deserves the gift of true disconnection this year. Let's spread the joy of reconnection by disconnecting together! 🎁✨

Today I was reflecting on the milestones of my professional journey. A B.I.G. one was my decision to join a women's business club in Toronto called Verity and it changed the trajectory of everything for me … in my business and my personal life.

I quickly discovered the magic inside this one-of-a-kind Club.

I found an incredible community of wise, wonderful women who cheer each other on as we evolve to our next levels. We inspire each other as we pursue interests, travel to new places, and forge new relationships. Sometimes it’s finding a caring confidante when life throws us a curve ball.

Although I’ve move away from Toronto, I continue my membership, it’s THAT important to me. When I visit the Club it’s as if I’ve never left.

Verity is my home away from home!

Are you ready to stop working so hard?

If this question, or more specifically your answer, makes you feel uneasy, that’s natural.

Let’s face it, you’re likely wired for working harder. Like most people, it’s been drilled into you since you started school and continues into adulthood. 🍎

So many of my clients feel they have to squeeze their personal life around their busy work schedule. 🗓️

💟 Here's what I know ...

Overwork steals your creativity, focus and joy. And when that happens, it's impossible to do your best work.😱

Success isn't about how many hours you work, it's about how you feel while doing your important work.

You can still make a difference without sacrificing your well-BEING.

Are you ready to redefine work and prioritize what truly matters?

Truth bomb … You are your biggest distraction.

If you want to do your best work, you must stay focused on only the important things.

That means silencing the pings and dings that divert your attention, protecting your boundaries and saying NO more often.

Focus is a muscle. So go ahead and flex it.

✋ Raise your hand if you procrastinated today.

Many productivity tips, tricks and tactics don’t work because they don’t address the true cause of a busy person’s procrastination.

The block is rooted far deeper.

The truth is procrastination is often tied to something bigger such as self-doubt, being judged, imposter syndrome, fear. 💥

Dig deep to discover your reason for procrastinating today.

The reason may surprise you! 😯

Want to break through the fear that is keeping you spinning?

Send me a DM and Let's chat.

💡This is the difference between things happening TO you and things happening BECAUSE OF you. 💡

Have you ever felt this way ...

❓Despite your best efforts for heightened productivity your best work feels out of reach❓

Maybe you've tried following the latest "time management" trick, bought a fancy new planner or tried a new productivity app. 🕥 None of these attempts bring you closer to the results you want.

This is completely natural and I see it all the time with the clients I work with.

They come to me because they want to feel calm, confident and in control while they work.

When I tell them this is more than an operational problem, it's a focus challenge, I see the lights come on. 💡

This is the pivotal point where we can make some powerful changes happen.

The same is true for you.

💟Remember, you are a human BEING not a human DOING.💟

How do you want to feel in your business? Write your answer below.

I'm listening ...

On a scale of 1 to 10, how rested, relaxed and ready are you to achieve your goals this year?

If you’re jumping out of your seat shouting “hell ya I’m a 10+!!” then I’m right beside you cheering you on. 🥳

If you’re coming in at a 6 or below, I can completely relate. ❤️

That was me last year.

I had a low-grade energy temperature of 6.

It's no wonder, I was spinning, feeling constantly distracted and spread too thin.

As a result my connection to who I was BEING was impacted.

⚡ I believe in my core that your energy influences your focus, and your focus impacts your results. ⚡

When you feel scattered, spinning and chaotic, chances are your energy is low, which means it’s draining you and causing stress.

These are the ingredients for burn out. 😳

When you feel fully focused, calm and in flow, your energy is high, which promotes joy, abundance and creativity.

These are the ingredients to unlock your unlimited potential. 😎

When I consciously chose who I wanted to BE and how I wanted to show up, my energy, focus and results lifted ... skyhigh!

So if your focus is feeling a bit "off" as you begin 2023, check in with yourself and consider who YOU want to BE in months, weeks and moments ahead.

Share that one word below. I'm listening ... ❤️

For most people, the concept of doing less instills an impression of idleness, laziness and carelessness. But it can be quite powerful.
