Feeling unsure about what you really want? Did the summer holidays give you a different perspective? We all go through times where we feel like we lack clarity in our lives. Often, we’re so busy with the day-to-day stuff we end up just going through the motions rather than considering what we really want. However, we’re here to help with our five top tips on how to gain absolute clarity.

1. Create Space

When you’re a mum or mumpreneur, there can be little space in your life. Your house is overflowing with everything that comes with having children and little time, and your head is buzzin...

Have you ever felt dissatisfied with your life? Perhaps you’ve even felt this despite apparently having what you thought you wanted? It is not uncommon for a mum or mumpreneur to have a lifestyle that she thinks should bring happiness and to believe something is wrong with her because she’s still not content. However, this normally indicates a lack of clarity about what you really want. In this blog post, we’re looking at the different areas of your life which can benefit from that clarity.

How can you help others to feel more confident? In the past, we’ve talked a lot about how we can develop our own self-esteem and confidence. However, for many mums and mumpreneurs, it’s equally important to them they encourage confidence in those around them, especially their children. This can feel difficult to do if you lack confidence in yourself. However, we’re sharing five ways in which you can get started.

1. Worthwhile Praise

While having confidence in yourself and your abilities is crucial, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also consider how we can inspire others to have confidence in us too. When other people feel confident in our abilities, it can open new doors and opportunities. For example, if you’re a mumpreneur, clients need to have confidence in you before they will buy. Thankfully, there are a few easy ways in which you can exude that confidence, even if you’re not really feeling it yet.

Have you ever felt ‘off’ somehow? Perhaps you’ve woken up in the morning and found sleep has not refreshed you? While most mums and mumpreneurs will experience overwhelm in their life, many do not recognise it until it becomes a serious problem and affects their health.

In our next blog post we’ll be looking at how you can overcome overwhelm, and this is much easier to do if you recognise it early. That’s why we’re sharing five signs that you might be seriously overwhelmed.
