You want good things to come your way, but when you've had a run of things going wrong, you can find yourself stuck in a negative mindset waiting for the next disaster to hit. But as we saw in this month's newsletter, for things to start going right, you need a different way of thinking. That's much easier said than done, though. So, in this blog post, we're going to look at the three easy steps you can take to stop the rot and start to take control of your thoughts.

1. Take Notice

We have millions of thoughts each day, and we only notice a handful of them. That can mean there's a lot of...

When you’re a mum running a business, you can spend half your time feeling like you don’t know whether you’re coming or going. The list of things that need tackling can be endless and you find yourself waking up at night remembering something important that you’ve previously forgotten. However, implementing organisation systems can save you time and help you get back on top. Here are three that you can easily implement within your business.

1. Filing System

It’s easy to get overrun with paperwork and the trouble is that this can lead to you wasting hours...

Decluttering can be surprisingly difficult. You look at the pile of stuff you have and you know that you need to reduce it. However, when you’re working through the items you can find yourself feeling sentimental and wanting to hold on to everything. A classic phrase that is often used is “it might come in handy in the future”. If you’re having trouble in letting go, here are our top tips to help you move forward and create space for your future.

What Do I Want To Keep?

Changing the question from what you will get rid of to what you will keep, can help you to get...

If your home is bursting at the seams or you have boxes that you’ve moved from one home to another without ever unpacking, the thought of starting to declutter your home might be overwhelming. It becomes one of those jobs that are put off until next month and never gets done. Meanwhile more clutter gathers, and the cycle continues. In this month’s newsletter, we talked about the benefits of decluttering. But how can you get started if you’re feeling overwhelmed?

1. Start With Your Central Area

Ask yourself where you spend most of your time. It might be in the kitchen, at...

In the last blog post, we looked at how you could set powerful intentions and improve your mindset so that you can achieve what you want. However, we also discussed how other things can get in the way such as not taking care of ourselves and getting distracted by all the other things going on around us. Here’s our run down of practical steps you can take to help make things happen and to achieve your goals.

1. Create Focused Time

Our brains can only focus for so long on one task. After that our productivity dwindles. By working with our brains, we can start to achieve more in the time...

In this month’s newsletter, we looked at the kinds of things that can steer us off course from getting what we want. One of these was our own minds. Creating the right mindset dramatically increases your chance of success. But where do you start? By setting intentions. Here are 5 steps to help you get started.

1. Get Clear On What You Want And Why You Want It

It sounds obvious, but far too often we have a vague sense of our goals rather than a very clear picture. On top of that, we don’t always consider why it’s important to us. This can leave us in danger of chasing...

In the last blog post, we looked at how you could reflect on the last year. If you haven’t followed the step-by-step guide in that, then I would suggest you do that first before reading this blog post. The reason why reflection is so important is because it helps guide you in setting your goals for the following year.

You may have been surprised by some of the scores you gave to areas of your life. Without doing that work, you may not have recognised the areas which need more attention and focus to get you closer to your ideal next year. Take a moment now to review those scores and...

How has this year gone for you? Did it go too quickly for you, or does it seem to have dragged? Does it feel like a successful one or were you constantly battling obstacles? Either way you probably haven’t realised quite how much you have accomplished as a mumpreneur, a mother, a partner, a friend, an individual. I can guarantee it is more than you think.

Reflecting on your year gives you the opportunity to acknowledge those achievements and to learn from things that haven’t gone so well. In this guide, we take you through it, step-by-step.

What Have Been The Highs And Lows?

The last blog post looked at ways in which you can discover who you really are. But what’s next? How can it help you to achieve inner peace and the life you desire? As ever, you need to take action. Knowledge is of no use unless it’s implemented. Once you understand who you are, it’s time to start celebrating your unique and authentic self. The best way to do this is by living as that person rather than the character you were trying to be. Here are 3 ways on which you can start doing that.

1. Check In With Your Values

Recognising your values are an important step to...

It’s obvious that if we go through life trying to be someone we’re not, we’re never going to find true happiness. If you want to find the path to inner peace, you must identify who you really are and live your life in harmony with that. Otherwise, you’re simply living a lie.

But as mums and mumpreneurs, “who you are” can get a little lost. There’s always that dreaded moment when someone dares to ask you about yourself or what hobbies you have, and you can’t see beyond the mum duties that consume all your waking hours and some of those that you...
