I am enough ⠀ 2. I have courage to try difficult things⠀ 3. I intend to do my best today to achieve my goals⠀ 4. I will drink enough water today ⠀ 5. I intend to do something fun today⠀ ⠀ Have a great week!⠀ ⠀ And if you’re heading back to work today under the next stage of the UK roadmap......Good luck.

BURNOUT⠀ ⠀ Your body and your mind need time to rest. Fact!⠀ ⠀ You’re at risk of burning out if you fail to rest. Fact!⠀ ⠀ Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands.⠀ ⠀ It’s so important to make time for regular rest. It’s crucial for good mental and physical health. ⠀ ⠀ ⭐ Block out time to rest. Add it to your to-do list like it’s an urgent task. ⠀ ⭐ Plan what you’ll do with your downtime in advance and notice how you feel afterwards. Does slowing down make you more productive?⠀ ⠀ Sleep and rest are essential building blocks of the mind and body. Better still, when you stop rushing and slow down, you might enjoy life more. Give it a try. You owe it to yourself! ⠀ ⠀ #burnout #managingoverwhelm #habitsforsuccess #timeforme #weallhave24hours #restandrecharge #restdont #restingisinvesting #shemeansbusiness #womenofimpact #createyourhappy #designalifeyoulove ⠀ #empoweringwomen 
A behind the scenes photo from my very first styled shoot in the first year of my wedding and event planning business back in 2011/12.⠀ ⠀ I had a lovely team, a great location and we had lots of fun but no real idea about how to make the most of it all. So many lessons learned since then.⠀ ⠀ I'm curious....⠀ Cast your mind back to your first year in business......share the one piece of advice you wish you'd had starting out.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #beyou #authenticallyyou #showupforyou #lovewhatyoudo #integrity #lessonslearnedinlife #lessonslearnedinbusiness #whatsyourstory ⠀ #beyourownboss #entrepreneurlife #littlebrandsbigbusiness #smallbusinessowner #heartcenteredbusiness⠀ #readyforchanges ⠀ #buildalifeyoulove #choosejoy ⠀ #smallbizuk #startwithwhy⠀ #dontquitourdaydream⠀ #beingboss
