2023: A Year of Unlearning and Rebuilding
2023 wasn’t just another year. It was a year of peeling back layers, confronting limiting beliefs, and discovering truths that shook my world as a business & mindset coach. And while I’ve always been a champion of growth, this year, the lessons hit me like bolts of lightning, leaving me forever changed.
1. Happiness Is a Muscle
I used to chase happiness like a butterfly, flitting from goal to goal, achievement to achievement. But this year, I learned and accepted that happiness isn’t a destination, it’s a practice. It’s about cultivating gratitude, savouring the present, and choosing joy even in the face of challenges. Happiness is a muscle, and like any muscle, it needs to be exercised. Think about it – you wouldn’t expect ripped abs without consistent gym sessions.
Build the emotional fitness to attract and sustain genuine happiness, because my friend, it's not a matter of "getting" happy, it's about becoming it.
2.Energy > Time Management
For years, I worshipped the altar of time management. Minutes were sacred, schedules were rigid, and my to-do list was a tyrannical overlord. Then, I realised that time management is a hamster wheel, keeping me in a constant state of hustle and exhaustion. What truly matters is energy management. Prioritising sleep, movement, and activities that nourish my soul – that’s where the real magic happens. With a full tank of energy, I can conquer my goals without burning out. When you’re overflowing with energy, time becomes fluid, tasks become effortless, and the impossible suddenly feels within reach.
It's not about fitting more into your day, it's about making what you do in those hours matter.
3. The Hell Yes Mindset
Forget lukewarm “maybes” and begrudging “fine’s.” 2023 taught me the power of the Hell Yes! This electrifying energy, this gut-level certainty – that’s what fuels passion, ignites creativity, and propels us toward success.
If it's not a resounding Hell Yes, it's a no.
No apologies, no second-guessing. Life is too short for anything less. And no, this isn’t about recklessness, it’s about clarity. When you align your energy with authentic passion, watch your life transform into a masterpiece of fulfilment.
4.Systems Are Everything
Imagine a world where you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every day. Where routine doesn’t feel like a prison, but a springboard for growth. That’s the power of systems. Create repeatable frameworks for your business, routines for your well-being, and rituals for your creativity. This year, I built systems for everything – from client onboarding to content creation to my own personal morning routine. And guess what? I’m more productive, less stressed, and infinitely freer. Stop wasting precious energy on the mundane – automate, delegate, and streamline. Let systems handle the predictable, so you can focus on the sparks of innovation that truly make your flame burn bright.
Consistency doesn't come from willpower, it comes from well-oiled systems.
2023 was a year of unlearning the old and embracing the new. It was a year of shedding the masks and stepping into my authentic self. And as I look toward the horizon, I do so with a heart full of gratitude and a mind buzzing with possibilities. Here’s to carrying these lessons like precious gems into the next chapter, and to inspiring others to do the same.
