How to increase your productivity in one simple step

How to increase your productivity in one simple step

In September, I found myself asking myself a series of questions

I know you’re thinking “Such as?”

Well…

Like: "What is it that makes me the most happy, and how can I incorporate that into my life on more of a daily basis?"

But that was very much at the beginning of the month

I think that anybody who knows me well, knows that I love traveling

Yes, it's because I get to experience different cultures and spend time with the people that I love and eat delicious food and all of that sort of jazz

But I also realise that part of what I love about holidays and traveling, is also the person that I am when I'm on holiday

I know what I'm going to wear on each day, and I'm hyped to wear those things. I know what I'm going to do, I know who I'm going to see

So, not only am I more relaxed, but actually, I am more organised

With this in mind…

In line with that, one of the things that I started to ask myself every day in September (after this realisation) was:

How to find your why and achieve your PR goals

How to find your why and achieve your PR goals

Last week we talked about the fact that despite what we’re commonly told, simply setting your goals or having a clear vision for what you want for 2024 isn’t enough to keep you on track

Remember that,? If not, will you check that post out here?

Which is why as you set your goals or create that vision board, it's important to consider the why behind every goal

Not sure how?

The 5 WHYS Technique is one of my favourite journaling prompts because it has helped me and my clients stay consistent and accountable with achieving our goals - even when motivation runs a little dry

So, whether you want to start or grow your business, get PR success, or travel the world - the 5 WHYS technique can help you identify the core reason behind your aspirations. What’s great is that it’s super simple. Just grab a pen and notebook and ask yourself why you want to achieve a particular goal. Ask yourself this question 5 times to get to the core why.

Here's an example of how that works in practice...

Those who know me well will tell you that there are 2 times in the year that I tend to get especially reflective:

  1. My birthday

  2. New year

If you, like me, haven't quite gotten a chance to really sit with your thoughts about 2022/23 here are 3 reflective questions/journal prompts to get you started:

3 tools for overcoming limiting beliefs holding you back from PR success

Last week I mentioned that one of the common mistakes that people make, when it comes to mindset work, is thinking that it's a one-time thing

This is because, in the same way that real gardens need maintenance to ensure that weeds don't get out of hand, so do our minds

I also promised that I would give you some of the tips and tricks that I like to use for renewing my mind on a regular basis and that you can too

So here they are:

Lessons from esther on how to increase your visibility by transforming your mindset

Lessons from esther on how to increase your visibility by transforming your mindset

In my previous post, I talked about Hegai (the King’s eunch’s) role in helping Esther secure the crown

Click here if you missed that, sis

But that wasn’t the main thing that made the King choose her

“So, what was?!” I hear you ask

According to Esther 2:15 and 17, it was favour
So let’s break that down

When I hear the word “favour” it immediately puts me in mind of the concept of grace

Why?

Because grace is by definition “the unmerited favour of God”

In other words…

Without the belief that:

  1. You have God’s favour

  2. He will cause people to favour you also

  3. He made you “for such a time as this”

You won’t go towards your goals or the desires that He gave you

Because we go in the direction of of our beliefs

We see that play out in Esther 4:10-11 when Esther expressed fear of going to see the king about calling off the proposed genocide of her people

And…

We see it in modern day stats that show that women feel less at ease going for their goals by promoting themselves than men- which in turn means that they're less likely to do it.

Can you relate, sis?

What needs to be understood is that walking in God’s favour is a lifestyle that is born out of your mindset. Here are 4 tools that I use to develop it.

Do you believe in signs, sis?

I do. In fact, if you’ve been rocking with me for a while, you’ll know that-

God tends to speak to me in repetition. For example in my last blog post I said:

That let’s me know that this is a topic that needs to be explored further

“Unresolved personal trauma can thwart your purpose- especially in business. This is why it’s super important to find the source and cut it out at the root for the sake of healing”

Then I got confirmation of this via a post from my girl Destiny “The Prayerpist” Thomas:
