High5 to a NEW YOU 2020

Posted by Anjana Lala on

‘Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities’ Gloria Steinem

High5 to a NEW YOU 2020

I love the New Year or new beginnings. I get all excited to about the possibilities in life. A time for renewed hope and dreams. It is time for celebrations. Can you feel the excitement? Exhilaration? I am absolutely invigorated. I love the lightness that invoke a sense of brightness. We into the 2nd week of January 2020 already.

I am sure you have received tons of email about New Year 2020: change your life, transform your life, make it the best year ever, 5 steps to maintain New Year resolutions, 3 steps to create a new life in 2020 and many more telling you how to awesome 2020 can be. They all mean well and it’s great to have coaches, bloggers, and mentors to guide and encourage you. These emails can excite or sometimes it can create a feeling of overwhelming proportion when the mountain ahead of us appears too large to summit.

Let’s take a step back. Clear our minds of:

1) What should be and how it should.
2) All the stories you have been telling yourself since it’s the New Year.
3) Are you feeling the pressure when people ask what are the plans for 2020

Step 1 – Set your intention

Reflect on 2019. What lessons have you learnt? Are there some things that will continue in the New Year? Do you still want the same things? What do you want in life? It all starts with what you want in life. Then you have the choice in creating what you want in life. What is your deepest desires? What does your heart yearn for? It starts from the heart. Think about what it is you want. Think & Feel your intentions. Set your intention. It’s a great starting point.

Step 2 – List your dreams

Be bold and big. Write down every dream you can think of. From a dream date with your favourite movie star to owning a Ferrari. Submitting Mount Everest or going to Cordon Blue School in Paris. Travelling to Amazon jungle to volunteering for WHO. Stop analysing just write it all down. There is no wrong or right dream. If you have thoughts this is not me or this is not for me. Just ignore them for now. Select one to three dreams from the list. The ones where the music is clear and booming.

Step 3 – The BIG WHY

Now read the dreams aloud. Sensing and feeling when you read each dream out loud. Write how this dream would transform your life. For example, owning your own business can give you financial security or financial freedom. It can empower you buy your dream home. It can make you feel independent, talented, successful, have your own personal identity. Think if your dream came true, how you would feel. What would change in your life as a result of your aspirations coming alive? This is Your BIG WHY! Why do you want this dream to come alive? The BIG WHY is the key ingredient to keep you motivated and committed to the dream when you feel like giving up.

Step 4 – See Your New Life

Sit quietly and reflect as if the dream has already come alive. Live in the happiness, the success and whatever feeling the dream invokes. Picture where your friends, where you are, how does the environment and atmosphere feel. Imagine having the correct people and things to make your wish to come true. How does it look, feel, taste, and smell? Sense the dream as if it’s already part of your life. Feel the BIG Why. Listen to your body for messages for how to achieve the dream. Hear the music inside you. Release struggle and resistance. Let there be happiness, ease and flow in your visualisation.

Step 5 – Take the first step

All things are achieved one action at a time. BE BIG & BOLD take the first step.

Each day each step adds up, and just like putting one foot, one step ahead of the other on your path, soon you will be on the top of the mountain, looking down at your accomplishment with self-satisfaction and self-respect.

I’m here today to help you plant the flag in the top of your mountain, by encouraging you to take the first step. Why not you!? You were born for greatness. You were born to impact this world. Dare to leave your mark. Your Legacy! Dare to Dream. You have a dream inside of you that only you can achieve.

So, what will your first step be today?

To THE NEW YOU in Year 2020!

Cheers

15 Qualities of AUDACIOUS SUCCESSFUL Women

AUDACIOUS SUCCESSFUL Women

Audacious women are successful. I have witnessed so many women online, professional women, celebrities, women in my life, I have read about them, watched them on TV. Audacious women who inspire me are Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah, Jane Goodman, Amelia Earhart, Junko Tabei, Zinc heroes – Sister Sudha Varghese, Coco Chanel, unlikely heroes, dreamers, and doers. These are ordinary women with extraordinary qualities.

Here are their extraordinary qualities that I think are common to these powerful ordinary women:

They have big dreams
They are confident and highly curious
They believe in themselves
They live by their own rules
They are alive and full of vitality
They are highly motivated
They don’t sweat the small stuff
They just do it – Keeping it simple and organised
They understand the duality of failure and success
They take themselves seriously – consistent and persistent
They are continually learning and flexible
They understand connection is currency
They know where and how to direct their energies in life.
They play on their strengths and talents
They continually challenge themselves to new success stories

These audacious women are seemingly tireless, relentlessly dedicated and endlessly curious. There’s always more, always better, always further to go further to reach further to climb…

The amazing part of this whole story is that these ladies are just like you and me (ordinary). Their extraordinary lives were not handed to them on a silver platter. They struggled, strained & stressed on their journey to success. They are ordinary people living extraordinary lives. They’re highly intelligent and sharply focused. From a distance, it may seem they have magical powers or come across as superwoman. But they ordinary women with extraordinary character and mind.

They have clarity of mind, strength of character and surety of passion & purpose.

Are you an Audacious Successful Woman?

CHEERS TO AUDACIOUS SUCCESSFUL WOMEN

May we Know them,

May we Be them

May we Raise them

Strong Woman

What is a strong woman?

Women standing into their power. Unleashing the Goddess energy. Embracing the divine feminine. I am proud for the women march that took place. I was far away but my heart was with them.

I am not for Woman’s Lib or a radical feminist. I am not in competition with men. I don’t want to be like men. I am all woman. I embrace my natural qualities as a woman. I am sassy, classy, intelligent, talented, strong, funny, fierce and so much more. I am a woman.

For eons women and young girls have been subject to prejudice, misogyny and discrimination by society and culture. It’s great to see woman uniting, marching for a common cause – their fundamental right to exist and freedom of choice.

The women showed up with her own essence. In the spirit of love. Striving and thriving with her own feminine essence. (They came from every corner of society). I urge you to be a strong woman- Drop the tough hard male persona. This world need strong women. Real women today. We need to be the new leaders directing this world to change. A different way to making decisions, finding solutions, with heart and mind – to bring harmony and peace to this world. It’s a matter of our fundamental rights to exist, our safety and dignity. Doing all this with compassion, power, encouragement, vulnerability, love and integrity

So, my question to you:

Are you a woman standing in her own power?

You don’t have to be Mother Teresa or Joan of Arc.

What are you willing to do in your world to lead by being a Real Women of Today?

Are you standing up as a Goddess of change or waiting for life to pass you by?
