What is hindering your progress?

Now, you might want to start by asking yourself what exactly is standing in the way of you living your life the way you dreamed it. In a world so full of expectations (how you should look, what you should wear, the things you have to do etc.) and so much competition, there's definitely much that could stand in your way and the daily influence of social media and TV doesn't make it any easier.

Do you worry about what other people are doing and how you're not doing that “yet”? How in shape famous people look and how neither your body nor your lifestyle are anywhere close to theirs?

But …aren’t you forgetting the most important thing? What truly makes you happy? NOW is the best time to look inward and stop forcing yourself; to follow fashion trends you don't truly like, go to parties that don’t make you happy, meet people that drag you down, or even stay at a job you don't find satisfaction in. Just stop doing things you don't like!

So here my 4 suggestions to start from today:

Pay attention to yourself! It's your life! Take the time out to re-invent yourself IF you are not happy!

Write down what bugs you, what annoys you, where have you wanted change for a while but haven’t tackled it for whatever reason. Do you get angry? Why? Do you say “yes” when you feel like saying NO! What truly puts a song in your heart? What puts you under pressure? What drains you? What lifts your spirit and energises you? These are questions you must answer. Do you find yourself feeling pressured when you scroll through Instagram for an hour? Perhaps because you don't think you've measured up to the standard of so many people you think you admire. If this is you, it's time to limit your Instagram time. Starve the negative energy! Stop doing what drains you and spend more time with what truly fulfils you.

YOU ARE UNIQUE AND YOU ARE AMAZING! Start believing it and start living it!
