a little reflection✨
well 2020 was quite a shock to the system, am I right? this pandemic came in and took life as we know it and body-slammed that b*tch into the ground🙈
now I want to start off by saying this pandemic didn't pick and choose who it affected - no matter your circumstances, we were all affected in some way - and I just want to say you should be f*cking proud of yourself for how you've handled it💕
there was so much talk for people who took their (unwilling) spare time to start a hobby like baking, cooking, working out, enrolling in online courses, starting a business or side hustle - if it made them happy and maybe even created a new stream of income then why are you so sour?? focus on you boo👀
I was lucky enough to spend my first lockdown in Barbados with my family and I took the time to actually take a swing at cooking - now ya girl knows a few recipes that'll knock your socks off and you know what, it makes me happy to have learnt how to cook these recipes for myself and my family - it really puts a smile on my face when I see others enjoying my cooking👩🍳 (as cheesy as that sounds)
my favourite part of the lockdown in Barbados was definitely my morning trips to the beach (with my coffee - duh) where we'd walk the stretch of the beach and I'd then float in the sea - this was my meditation time before starting my day✨ some mornings Troy even came along for the excursion💛
what I'll be taking into 2021
•a morning routine - I can't tell you how this has transformed my mental health + my productivity - I'm happy to share my routine with you, just shoot me a dm☺️
•gratitude|manifesting|visualising - hi, welcome to my spiritual mini rant (I'll make this quick) - I get so many dm's on starting a business - girlfrennn, if you want it you need to believe you deserve it, how do we do that? We give thanks for what we have and open ourselves to receive more, we visualise what we want and we really believe it for ourselves - we need to picture ourselves in that Paris flat with the french doors that go out on the terrace where our warm croissants and hot coffee waits for us, we then manifest the goodness and blessings that the universe brings to us! *side note - everything you want already exists, it's up to you to believe you deserve it and open yourself up to accepting it✨
•do you boo boo - if you like something and you enjoy doing something, then do it - who gives a f*ck about what others think?? *side note this doesn't mean be a d*ck, it just means to not let others dictate what you should and shouldn't do - it's your life to live👌
•take time for me - I struggle with this a lot (I always have) because as an entrepreneur, I can't even describe how hard it is to switch off, but honestly the burn out ain't worth it sis. So if there's a day where I want to blow off work to stay in bed with my dog and watch Queen of the South, then betttt I'ma do it✨
