We may not realise it, but media conditions our brain to think a certain way, fear certain things, follow certain rules. So… 😌 Take time away from the news and media. 🌿 Schedule time in nature to be with your thoughts. 🧡 Enjoy the warmth of human connection. And in these moments, find your quiet inner voice speaking to you in ✨serenity✨ ps: am obsessed with today’s snowy trail walk with @leelamariel 🥹

When I was younger, I changed myself a lot to fit into the IN-group. To be more accepted and respected. Even now as I follow other entrepreneurs and speakers who have huge followings, I find myself seeing their way of building their career as the “blueprint” or the “right way”, and judging myself if I don’t follow their way. But who says there’s any one right way to build your career, your relationships, or live life? You build your brand in what you think do and say. That includes the decisions you make, the life you live. And so, before you even THINK about building your personal brand, you need to internalise THIS. Watch this video! What do you think? — In this podcast episode, we’ll learn some personal branding FOUNDATIONAL principles and practices that not many people talk about, these principles and practices that you need to do in order for any branding strategies to even work. ⚡️Save the LINK IN BIO⚡️ OWN YOUR VOICE POD EP13: What needs to happen BEFORE you build your brand 🎧 Listen on Spotify 📺 Watch on YouTube (YouTube 1 in link in bio)

We’ve been taught to practice delayed gratification since we were young. “Study first, then you can play.” You can have fun next time… And though there’s a principle in that, I found myself taking it a little too far in my life. More specifically, as a recovering workaholic, I’ve always created rules for myself. Rules that sometimes drain me, instead of instilling discipline. “You can only go out once you feel like you’ve done enough.” (and then I proceed to give myself a list of tasks that are unachievable in that day) Some things, are worth going out for. Some things only happen once, and will be hard to catch a moment just like this. Some things may never have a “next time”… Some things like… ✨ being fully present at a family dinner, engaging in seemingly mindless banter, but really allowing yourself to laugh about the little things that cannot be planned ✨ taking a moment to put a pause in your overthinking, and simply soaking in the wholeness of nature, of the ocean, of the rain ✨ or in my case… saying ‘yes’ to going out last Thursday, on a rare full on snow day in Portland, where I saw actual fluffy falling snow, something I’ve never seen before Because you’ll never feel like you’ve done “enough”. There’s always a next goal, a next project. But you’ll never get the same moment twice. How will you slow down and intentionally enjoy the ✨present moment✨ this weekend? ps: here’s me posing with snowman number 2 and 3 that I’ve brought to this world 🤩

Be careful about who you take advice from, EVEN IF they mean well. Here’s why! What we don’t realise is there’s a bias in the way we speak about our problems. And that we tend to hang around people who think similarly. Watch this, to note the 3 steps to taking better advice! #ownyourvoice

Detours are not a waste of time. Career changes are not a waste of time. NOTHING ever is a waste of time, and here’s why. Sometimes it can be frustrating when you feel like everyone is moving ahead and you’re here trying to catch up and catch your breath. If you ever felt this way, I did as well.

You NEED to instill this habit before you dive deep into building your personal brand. Years ago, a coach of mine shared something to me that HURT me at first, but I knew was necessary for me to consider if I truly wanted to grow.

Is there anyone in your life now that you fear to speak to in a calm, confident way? With any shift in eyes, or casual comment passed, you find yourself making conclusions of how they may think of you -- "They're keeping such a straight face, maybe they think I don't sound smart enough." I can't tell you the number of times I've pre-judged someone because of the way they look, the way they sound, or the position they hold, before getting to know them further. And if I allowed that pre-judgement to stop me from having deeper conversations with people, I would not have met my closest friends, my best clients, nor had my most unforgettable conversations. Here's the interesting thing: Your fear/pre-judgement of someone is likely due to these few reasons: 1. They have a similar vibe with someone you used to fear before 2. You subconsciously follow the beliefs or rules you've been taught about this particular type of person. Very often, THESE are the reasons you find yourself immediately freezing up when you're speaking to these people. You start rationalising "yea, it makes sense that I shouldn't speak up during this meeting, other people are more experienced", but really, it's because you've held the belief that "People with more experience has more right to speak up, as opposed to me". You've held these, or similar beliefs for so long. And in order to change the way you show up and speak up, you’ll need to start understanding where these beliefs come from and act outside of it. From today onwards, if there's anything you're afraid to do, or anyone you're afraid to speak to, ask yourself - Why? Why am I afraid? What is my real fear? What belief or rule am I holding on to? And finally, is it still true for me? What is one small step I can take to act outside this belief and start rewriting it? btw, here's a "Win" shared by a coachee of mine, who used to hold on to this "unspoken rule" of "Don't speak to higher-ups unless spoken to". She took a small but extremely courageous step to act outside that belief, and received an amazing response :) THIS is what we do in your Own Your Voice Coaching Journey. 🧡
