Dear Wonderful Woman & Allies,

Happy Monday! 🙌🏾🎉

How are you doing? I'm good thanks! 😃😃😃

It's the second week in October and it's the final quarter of the year.

How are you feeling?

Do you feel:

Good 💃🏾💃🏾

So so 😬😬

Average 🙂🙂

Bad 😭😭

Somewhere in between ⁇

I often say that feelings aren't Facts! 💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡

Whilst it's easy to say that, I know that we can sometimes have strong emotions or even limiting beliefs that hold us back from leaning into all that you can be. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Today I dedicate this newsletter to being realistic and intentional about what you want to achieve between today and the end of the year.

To really get focussed.

To sit down and assess is what I am doing at the moment moving me towards achieving my top goal/goals before the end of the year.

Because you may realise you have taken to much on and something is going to have to give!

For me I realised that I'm not going to be able to write my book and complete a signature talk by the end of the year.

I have decided to get my signature talk done and have blocked out time to do it this month.

Once it's done, then I can work on my book if I have the capacity.

I love that you're ambitious, however, over productivity is a real thing and it's harmful to you.

I've only been able to read about 5 pages so far of this great book, Women Who Work Too Much: Break Free from Toxic Productivity and Find Your Joy

by Tamu Thomas.

It's wise to have a time out and be honest with yourself.

To have a quiet time and space to think about does what I am doing currently serve me?

I was in a LinkedIn conversation recently about consistency.

It was a good one, and the discussion was about -

What if you're inadvertently doing the wrong things consistently which are:

Keeping you stressed

Burnout

Overwhelmed

And not getting the results you desire

I was reminded just being consistent isn't enough!

You actually need to do the right things to get a different result.

Today I leave you with 1 question:

What do you want to be true for you when you wake up on 31st December?

Have a great day ahead until tomorrow!

Warm regards,

Ekua 💛
