You Are Worth It! Do you sometimes feel like you are a work in progress? Do you feel the drive to keep improving yourself and then find yourself in a spiral of despair because you just never feel like you measure up? For many people, this is their reality. Research has shown that this may be one of the most common causes of weight gain and emotional eating disorders. All of us need to find freedom from the cycle that we are imperfect .While we all have room to grow and develop; the most freeing of all realities about ourselves that we need to absorb and accept is that we are a unique and beautiful human being. There is no one quite like us on this earth and there never will be. Once we accept this for ourselves, we can then look for ways to make the good in us better. Without this perspective, we will constantly strive to find some self-acceptance and won’t move much beyond this point in our life. An old African proverb reminds us that if we don’t have any enemies inside us, then no external enemies can cause us harm or hurt. Have you noticed when things are going well on the inside and you are feeling secure and happy with life, things that go wrong in your life don’t seem to be so bad, but when you are feeling bad about your self, things are so different. The world seems to take on a much darker feeling and it’s more difficult to cope when things are not going right? Learning to love yourself and to appreciate the uniqueness you are is often the first stage of learning how to control your weight, feel confident in studying or changing careers, or learning a new hobby. Many of the things we procrastinate over that are for our own benefit and enrichment are often the things we don’t do, because perhaps deep inside we don’t think we are good enough or worthy enough to do these things for ourselves. Challenge those thoughts and starting tomorrow - Choose one thing you want to do for you. - Because guess what, you are worth it! Most people have to battle the self-talk and rarely say anything nice about themselves. Try looking in the mirror when you wake up and tell your reflection what you would tell your best friend... You are worth it!

Creating a Digital Footprint in 2021 If you own a small business, you are probably well aware of how important social media can be for increasing your bottom line. However, getting started on social media can be incredibly daunting. With all the different options and ways to gain followers, one can quickly become overwhelmed. Creating a strong digital footprint is very important when aiming for success in this tech age, here are the top five ways your business can gain more social media followers and increase your bottom line. 1. Create Strong Profiles and Pages The best way to start growing your audience on any of the social media platforms is to create strong profiles and pages for your accounts. You need to include branded cover photos as well as profile photos, and detailed descriptions of your business. 2. Share Quality Content As you begin your journey to gain more social media followers, you need to create and share high-quality, value-added content that your target audience will enjoy. This can include blog content, videos, podcasts, infographics, presentations, etc. This content can be created by you or by others. 3. Add Links Not only do you want to be sure to include links to all your social media profiles on your business website, but you want to include your site link in all your social media profiles. It will also help to add links to your top social accounts in your email signature. Adding these links will help you to expand your reach and broaden your exposure. 4. Use Friend-Finding Features Most of the social media networks provide ways for their users to connect with other people they know. As you first start to use social media to build your brand, you want to ask people you know to follow your account. By having them like and follow you on different platforms, you gain more exposure to a broader audience base. 5. Cross-Promote Your Social Accounts If you already have a large audience on one of your social media accounts, why not use that to your advantage. Ask followers to connect with you on your other accounts. This can be as simple as sending out a tweet to your Twitter followers asking them if they are on Instagram, and if they are, asking them to follow you there as well. Growing your social media followers is easy to do but will take some time. The more effort you put into creating valuable content for your target audience the more followers you’ll gain and the more sustainable your digital identity becomes

5 Tips for Better Goal Setting We all have certain goals that we would like to achieve at different stages in our lives. However, not all of us are able to meet them. Though we know what our goals are, we can’t bring ourselves to achieve them most of the times, because there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. More often than not, the reason for not meeting our goals is not setting a pre-defined path for the same. Here are five tips that we can all follow to set ourselves better goals and work towards achieving them within the specified timeframe. 1.Choose goals that are valuable to you Never set a goal because your friend or parent asked you to do so. You should always set goals that help you improve personally and professionally. Will I become a better human being when I achieve this goal? How will it improve my overall personality development? Will this goal help me in finding my core competency? These are some of the questions that you should think about when setting a goal, to be assured of 100% success while achieving them. When you set goals that add value to your lives and motivate you, you are more likely to work towards achieving them. 2.Use the SMART method Mostly, there is ambiguity in your minds while setting goals and achieving them, because you didn’t care enough for the small details. This is why following the SMART system is very important while setting goals. Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound goals need to be set, irrespective of whether they are meant for personal or professional development. By following this technique, you are giving a defined structure to your goals and making them accurate, so that it becomes easy to achieve them. 3.One step at a time While it is important to focus on the big picture when setting goals, it is equally important to travel this path one step at a time. When you have a huge goal staring at you with a specified time- frame hanging over it, it may look all too daunting and intimidating for you. So, all you need to do is to break down the big goal into several smaller goals, so that it helps you concentrate more and pursue each goal with ease and confidence. 4.Write down your goals It may seem to be a simple tip, but it helps! Write down all your goals with their time-frame on a chart paper and pin it in your room, so that you are constantly reminded of your goals, your progress and your path that is yet to be travelled. Writing down your priorities on a daily basis will also help you in managing your time effectively as you can only focus on those tasks that are important. 5.Don’t be too hard on yourself Setting goals and achieving them with 100% success rate is no mean task! You may not achieve 100% success in your first goal; however, you should never give up. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Give yourself a back-pat and carry on with your next attempt with renewed focus and lots of takeaways from your first attempt. After all, life is a journey that deserves to be enjoyed, isn’t it?











10 Actions That Boost Your Creativity By Celeste Payne Creativity is a part of human nature. It is a gift from God. One creative idea, product or program could change the world. Increasing your creativity can bring you a whole new world of options to brighten your life. However there are time when we face what is know as a “creative block.” Don't allow your creativity to be hindered, but let the creative ideas flow. Try these strategies to amplify your creative powers: 1.Brainstorm new ideas and steer clear of judging them or yourself 2.Ask “what if?” It’s ok to think outside the box. There's always more than one way of doing things. 3.Explore your artistic side. Draw, write, sculpt, or sing. These things relax you and thus reduce stress so creativity can flow. 4.Change your environment. Try a different setting to reflect on a project. Take a short drive to a park, the beach or a weekend getaway. 5.Think like a child. How would a child see the situation differently? Stay curious. Ask questions about everything. 6.Keep a journal. Some great ideas may come to you as you reflect on your day. Also use a journal to revisit old ideas that may be ready to implement or expand upon. 7.Create a mind map to visually represent the relationships between various ideas 8.Study your subject and then study other people who are successful in that realm 9.Relax. Once you are refreshed, new ideas will come more easily. 10.Ask for help. Reach out to family, friends or some like minded creatives. You might also consider a creativity coach, someone who can help you organize and visualize your ideas so that you see a clear picture of the empire you are building. Celeste Payne is a certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach. As a creativity coach, she assists you with organizing your creative ideas, overcoming limiting beliefs and supplies tools and strategies for you to move forward toward fulfilling your vision and purpose.
