2020

(photo taken by myself)

Another decade is gone, and mine was filled with so many good and not so good memories. From the joyous birth of my daughter in 2010 to a health scare in 2015. In between I shared so many travel memories with my family, we were privileged to travel to so many countries in these 10 years.

I also had so many goals that I wanted to achieve, but it seems like I need to approach my goals in a different way. So this is how I will start 2020, making a list of the most important goal and start working on it.

Apart from my work goals I mostly want my faith to become stronger than ever before, inspire others more with the good deeds I do and show the love of Jesus to everyone around me.

Let us inspire and motivate each other and support all the ladies entrepreneurs all over the world.

May your 2020 be filled with health and blessings.

Fear

Who or what do you fear?

Should we always be in this constant race of fear where we cannot simply enjoy life and what it has to offer? Some fears are good, they keep us safe, for example fear of being hit by a car. But some fears are harmful, they can take over our lives.

I pray everyday that Jesus will give me the knowledge to accept the things I cannot change and trust Him to handle my fears. I overcome my fear by focusing on the promises of the Scripture and the power of God.

Kids and adults in our fast paced, competitive, modern world, struggle with fears and most try to sort it out by themselves. Our children’s lives these days are not as easy, some struggles more with peer pressure and they feel the need to be the best in academy, sports, friendships, etc.

If you have a sensitive personality like me, you might tend to fear much more. You need to stay strong and handle your situations by focusing on dealing with your fear factor.

How can you handle fear? Try to focus on the matter and the reason why you have the feeling of fear. Make a list of your fears and next to your fears you make a list of solutions that you feel will be the best way for you to deal with them.

A Positive brain can help you to cope with fear, follow the following exercises:

Gratitude,

Stay centered,

Stay active,

Eat and drink well,

Sleep well,

Help others,

Subconscious re-training and inner healing work,

Follow your passion.

I truly hope that you have read something from my blog so far that you can use in a positive way.

Stay true, stay positive

The future is female

Recently I have read an article of Myrna Ayad on ‘The future is female’, published in Harper’s Bazaar Arabia Spring 2018. Harpersbazaararabia.com/art

Such articles inspires me as a Freelance artist and photographer, it gives me positive energy to work towards my goals and inspire those around me.

The article covers mainly the Art Dubai exhibition, Myrna Ayad talks about her journey as Art Dubai Director. She speaks out about how Art Dubai scene features more women artist than men.

I hope you get some inspiration today and work towards your goal.

Life’s decisions

Have you ever put a lot of work into something that didn’t work out?

Sometimes it might make you feel like you are a failure, but we do not know what the future holds. God knows how our future looks like.

You should be asking how you can be of service to others, maybe then doors will open for you.

I like to keep my blogs short, because it’s not how much information you read on my blog, it’s what it means to you and how you will use it.

Don’t be stuck where you do not want to be, have the courage to get out of it and start over again.

My religion means a lot to me. I have my morning prayer routine where I will ask Jesus to help me through choices in life, to guide me or to send someone on my way, something Great will come my way.

However you go about with your day, just remember that you are special and you are created beautifully.

Go live your purpose in life.

Inspiration

What inspires you?

You have self inspiration and others that inspires you. Self inspiration might be your goals, passions and or interests.

I have lots of goals, but I need to be realistic and start with the one that means the most to me at this moment. For now I want to build my small photography business into a big photography business.

By building on a goal, you need inspiration. You might take it from others that are already where you want to be. Reading books and taking notes also helps reaching your goal.

Inspiration can also come from people that went through difficult times and how they make it to become successful.

Who inspires you? Think of a friend or family member that inspired you. Make a list of your own inspirations throughout your life so far and go back to it on a regular basis when you feel stuck.

Have a lovely, inspirational day

Start something new

Do you want to start something new (example-study) or maybe start a new career but are too afraid.

Maybe something new is what you need!

You might feel stuck in your current position at work or you are a stay at home Mum with a head full of ideas to start your freelance business.

Make a list of things you want to try, study, create or build (like a business), then take the one thing of your list you feel very afraid to do.

Sometimes the thing you are very afraid of doing will bring you the most success.

After all these years as a photographer, I sometimes feel very afraid to do certain photoshoots, especially if it’s something challenging, but I always believe that God will guide me and I always have a positive mindset.

I challenge you today to try something you love and do not overthink it.

Enjoy your lovely day

Morning routine that works for you

Most of us have a busy day which normally starts early in the morning.

I am a mum of two and I wake up early to make sure that lunches are packed and breakfast are served. Once the kids are dropped at school I head back home to have quite time for half an hour. I read my bible and do some meditation afterwards, this routine is so important to me because if I skip I really feel lost the rest of the day, with no direction.

Sometimes I try do do some extra exercise as well, apart from the usual elliptical training, that also gives me an extra positive boost for the day.

Through all of this I need to stay positive.

All you really need is a good start to your day to have a fantastic day.

Stay healthy and happy.

Create new habits

You can be disciplined to create new habits that requires little effort to maintain.

-Over a few weeks you can make a habit stick

-Be consistent with your habit, do it everyday

-Easy does it, start small and build it up over time

-Place reminders to do your habit on a daily basis

-Execute your habit on the same time of the day

-Get help from friends and family to motivate you and tell them about your new habit to stay reminded

-Triggers can help you also to stay on time and track

-If you took away something important to begin your new habit, make sure your new habit is replacing the need.

-It might take some time for your new habit to be perfect, take it easy on yourselves

-Interrupt negative thoughts about new habits with the word ‘but’.

I hope that this article will help you to stay on track (article courtesy of life hack organizations)

Have a lovely day, until tomorrow then.
