Hye rockers!!
Assalamualaikum and Welcome to today’s episode.
I’m your host, Aliah. Success and Mindset Coach. I help OVERWHELMED AMBITIOUS WOMEN TO SET GOALS THAT ALIGNED WITH THEIR SOUL so they can OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION AND MOVE FORWARD TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS.
Oh my goodness… It already July!!! Where have we been the last 6 months?
How are your new year’s resolutions going on?
Are you eating better? Are you reading more books? Are you working out 3 times per week?
Do you drink plain water more these days? Have you finished the draft of your first book?
Have you finally break up with the man that is mistreating you?
Have you started cooking more at home? Have you reconnected more with your family and friends?
And the list continues.
At the beginning of each year, we made these endless resolutions to become better.
It’s just endless.
The intention is good because you want to be better at what you are doing each passing year or improve certain things you haven’t cared about before.
The only problem is that when you look at this long list of resolutions and think about how many things you have to do to achieve them, you might become overwhelmed. Instead of taking action, you resort to doing nothing.
This cycle repeats over and over again.
And this is when things get bad.
It would harm your own self-esteem, self-confidence and causing unnecessary anxiety.
You might feel like you don’t achieve anything at the end of the year when you measure how much you should have, could have, would have done each year.
This morning I was looking at my own list of resolutions and goals.
And this came across my mind.
Could I really do these things I’ve set to do this year?
A couple of days back, I’ve given a strategy call with several moms on Zoom.
I conducted a mid-year goal audit and reflect on their 2021 goals.
I notice similar reactions on all of us. We are overwhelmed, almost paralyzing our actions, although we have good intentions.
We are overwhelmed with uncertainty.
We are overwhelmed doing all things on our own.
We are overwhelmed with the endless demands from others.
We, as moms especially, have high hopes to achieve more each year. We want the best for the family; we want to improve our health, finances and serve more. I don’t think this is a bad thing. This feeling is there for a reason. I always believe that whatever good thing that you intended to do is there for a reason.
As much as people around you might not support you in the mission, goals, or whatever thing that you might be doing or just thinking of doing it this year.
As much as you are feeling alone, remember that you are not really alone.
We are connected with the same feelings and human needs, no matter which stages we are at right now.
Society might not understand you; they might not support you. Maybe because they have never seen any other women succeed in that field, it seems impossible. Or perhaps they don’t really understand what you are doing and where you are heading towards. Or maybe just the fact that they do not want to be left behind in your journey of self-development.
Understand that you don’t need to convince everyone now just yet.
You have to convince yourself and believe in yourself.
Surround yourself with positivity, and find inspiration from people that you admire.
Learn what they do and what is their routine? What do you admire about them?
Replicate their day. Try to be in their shoe for one day.
If this is overwhelming for you, take the most minor step.
Find what you can change now to get a little bit closer to the inspiration that you are going towards.
Just one step. I like to remind myself again of the idea of just improving enough each day.
Therefore, over a year, ten years, and eventually, you have improved so much accumulatively that it tilted you to the direction or the vision of you that you want to be.
And keep on rocking, my friends.
The world needs the best version of you.
Keep on rocking, rockers! ♥️
MORE TIME. MORE FOCUS, AND SO MUCH MORE! IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE CHARGE AND LIVE TRUE TO YOUR VALUES.
