Career:  

Discover what you love: Find a way to add content, art and value that lights you up inside. Get a job or get creative in your approach to turning this area of ​​interest into your career.
Set clear goals: Do I want to work for a specific company? Any position/title? Do I want to go out on my own - who are my dream clients, amount of work, lifestyle, business structure, income? Write down all these details and strategize small, practical daily tasks/habits to reach your goals.

Develop an essential skill: research, case-building, copywriting, strategic planning, computer programming, sales, data analytics, etc. Learn transferable skills to guarantee you'll always have something valuable to bring to the table in our changing world/work culture.
Start with one and add more as you work towards self-mastery.

Know your worth: Negotiate – your salary, rates, workday structure, corporate benefits, PTO, etc. Never let anyone beg you for breadcrumbs or the bare minimum.

Speak up (when needed): Communicate – clearly, directly and firmly. Don't let anyone walk over you. Be sure to finish your sentences even if someone tries to interrupt you while you are speaking. Whether you're pushing a promotion, a new project, a proposed solution for a client, or trying to take a needed break, advocate for yourself. Also, know when it's in your best interest to remain silent. Make sure your integrity is intact.

Tells the truth about a subject.

Organize Your Day (Prioritize!): Set yourself up to win by outlining your priorities first before other people's tasks and projects consume your mind and calendar. List your top 3 to-dos for the day that are non-negotiable for you and will get you closer to your goals. I recommend Productivity Planner for daily use.
Keep records: Write email records and call notes about every interaction and decision. This practice enables you to stand your ground when necessary and saves you a lot of trouble.

Boundaries: Be sure to say no to a project with pride, no disrespectful comments, or long nights of overtime work. Schedule and stick to your breaks and your clock time (within reason, of course). Never allow a company or company to try to run you into the ground for your mental or physical health.
Make connections: Building a network of mentors, peers and colleagues in the same or adjacent fields is invaluable. These connections can lead to new opportunities, provide a healthy and productive space to explore ideas, or simply consult and exchange ideas. Strike up that conversation at lunch or an event. Follow up with a LinkedIn request or thoughtful email.
You never know what that conversation might lead to and what opportunities it might bring.

Self-Care/Self-Development:  

Create Daily/Weekly Rituals: Establish something that adds a little joy and flow to your day. These habits can range from a 10-minute yoga or meditation session every morning, to practicing morning pages or daily shadow work prompts, reading 10 pages a day, taking your steps and planning your chores, lunch and outfit for the next day. The night before create a weekly house cleaning schedule or meal plan.
Discover systems that allow you to put yourself first and set you up to win the day.
Find ways to feel beautiful: create delicious skin care, shower and hair/makeup/nails routines that make you feel like a queen. Invest in well-fitting, high-quality wardrobe staples. Brew your favorite cup of coffee or tea every day. Keep your signature scent handy. Exfoliate.
Invest in a matching pajama set.
Indulge all your senses: Light a candle. Relax, focus, unwind or put on a moody playlist to get you going – any tune that suits the occasion and gets you in the zone. Take a bubble bath or do a face mask. Enjoy a warm drink or a healthy, comforting meal. Use silk pillows, hair ties and bed sheets. Pamper yourself with small everyday luxuries.

Expand your knowledge: Make it a priority to read a few articles and 10 pages of a book every day. Being educated in different subjects and the world will make you build.
Provides personal fulfillment and enables you to tap into a wider pool of conversation. This practice strengthens your mind, sharpens focus and helps relax your brain.
Explore your interests: Find out what subjects and activities light you up inside. Be it a painting learning about dance, tennis, spin class, ancient world history, politics, fashion, science, etc. Take time to study and practice in these areas of interest.

Embrace your creative side: write, read, draw, create a mood board, explore Pinterest or Tumblr, style, organize an area of ​​your home, cook a new recipe, create a playlist – any fun activity that Stimulates creativity
Plan dates for yourself: take yourself out for coffee, lunch, shopping dates or even a short vacation. You deserve to enjoy the experience and enjoy the moments of this life without worrying about anyone but yourself.
Remember to rest: Getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night and taking breaks is essential for productivity and overall well-being. Never feel guilty about allowing your body and mind to recover. Neglecting to rest only backfires if you're playing long-term.

Know your income/expense ratio: Know how much money is coming in and going out each month. Create a personal balance sheet to audit your financial well-being.
Track everything: Keep a record of every stream of income and where every dollar is going – expenses, savings, estimated taxes, investments, charities, etc.
If you have a family or are self-employed, aim for 6-12 months of necessary savings to stay sane. Saving this amount of money takes time.


This article shares a method of how to save:  

Be patient, and cut short-term expenses if needed. It is an act of self-care.

Invest (especially a Roth IRA or Backdoor Roth IRA): If you haven't already, set one up through Vanguard or Fidelity ASAP. Don't underestimate the importance of compound interest on your financial future and security.
Automatically pay yourself first: Automate a portion of your paycheck for savings and your investments, so you never see the money. Pay yourself first (except essentials) before spending.
Spend only on what you need and what you enjoy: Strategically invest in pleasurable items and activities. Spend only on additional experiences and products that add value to your life. Cut incomplete expenses.

Read about personal finance/talk to your brokerage firm: Take the time to read about these topics and learn everything your parents didn't teach you or taught you in school. Use licensed professionals (CPAs, brokerage firms, etc.) as a resource, even for your personal goals.

Physical Health:  

Cook/eat healthy food: at least 80% of the time. Focus on eating whole foods and a (primarily) plant-based diet. I have been vegetarian for 10 years and it has done wonders for my body, skin and mental clarity.
Drink plenty of water every day: Set a goal in ounces = for your weight in pounds. Add lemons, limes, orange wedges or frozen berries if needed to keep this habit interesting.

Find workouts you love: Whether it's low-impact like Pilates, yoga, walking or dance classes, spin classes, weight-lifting, etc. The best exercise routine is one you can happily maintain.
Make daily movement a priority: at least 15-30 minutes per day. I aim for 10-12K steps at least 5 days a week.

Journal: Do a daily shadow work prompt, gratitude journal exercise, or practice morning pages (consciousness journaling for 3 pages each morning).

Connect with your inner circle: Make a deliberate effort to stay in touch and communicate with those who are loyal and have your best interests at heart. Make time to chat on the phone, send a text, or better yet – have weekly coffee, lunch, drinks, or dinner with at least one person you know enriches your life in some way.
Limit social media/screen time: Use your settings to limit your time on certain apps (Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, etc.). I set mine for 2 hours every day. Stop checking email right before bed and first thing in the morning (at least try really hard not to - I'm very guilty of this!).

Give freely: Be generous with those you love, mentors and mentees. Everyone appreciates when you make a little effort to give someone a small thoughtful gift, a kind gesture, or lend an ear. It makes you feel good and can make someone's day, week, month or year.
Set boundaries: Take time for yourself – to recharge, engage in a solitary activity, get some fresh air, breathe or sit in silence. Give freely without expectation, but never overextend yourself. If you want to know if you are striking the right balance between your energy-giving and gatekeeping, ask yourself: Am I being kind, or do I seem to be losing a part of myself when engaging with this person/participating in this event?
Be honest with yourself. Listen and follow your initial gut reaction.

Go to therapy: If you can afford it, weekly (or bi-weekly, monthly) sessions are a game changer for self-discovery, emotional control and general happiness/life fulfillment.


Sexual Health/Sexuality and Sexuality:  

Let go of shame: internalize your right to joy. Claim ownership over this aspect of your life. It gives you confidence in and out of the bedroom, so you move through the world with a magnetic aura and powerfully feminine energy.
Own your sexuality and preferences: Embrace who and what you're attracted to. This principle extends from your sexual orientation to your libido, turn-ons (fantasy, adult content, steamy memories, etc.), preferred positions, kinks, and devices. Sex and excitement are so personal. Allow yourself to be uncontaminated for what you do personally.
No one needs to know how you enjoy yourself behind closed doors (unless of course it's a partner involved).
Bed, fruit, and white imageries, pictures, and pink images
Make time (at least weekly) for self-indulgence and exploration: The ability to understand that you are in control of your own happiness. Learning what you like is essential to sexual satisfaction - whether you're alone or sharing the experience with a partner.  

Let the mind-body connection be your friend, not your enemy: Sex starts in the mind, so this point is important for climaxing. Get out of your head and into your body. Learning to enjoy your body is a sign of self-respect.

Keep everything clean and hygienic: wash inside with water only (no steam!), clean any toys and use protection. Security and self-esteem go hand in hand.
Find products and habits that make you feel beautiful: invest in underwear, sheets, perfume, body lotion, candles, wine, etc. that make you feel confident when you're in the mood.

Engage in playful and creative activities: (safe and consensual) experimentation (I'll leave it to your imagination) and don't be shy about excitement-building activities, such as a romantic dinner or a dance session to make this area of ​​your life more exciting beforehand. and complete.

Relationship:  

Communicate expectations: Clearly and often with anyone in your life. Listen and respond. Don't react. Validate emotions if necessary. If one cannot do the same, understand that this is almost always a sign of projection. Keep calm and be confident in yourself. Always treat others with the highest level of order and respect.
Have compassion, but not at your own expense: live with respect and consideration for others, but remember your life is for you.
Be careful not to take the criminal bait.

Set boundaries: Support them unapologetically. Try to understand others' needs and boundaries, so you can consider their needs as well. Compassion and kindness come from a place of self-respect. They are not the same people-pleasing.  

Be generous (but don't overextend yourself): See the mental health section above.

Be true to yourself: Authenticity is essential for personal fulfillment. Live in your uniqueness. Remember: trying to be someone else doesn't work, he's already taken. You have so much value to offer this world. Let your queen power shine through. 

Live in your truth. Be confident. Be you unapologetically.
Remember friends, anything can be achieved with discipline. It's getting up and doing things that will take you on your journey. Yes, it will be uncomfortable at first but you have to start seeing fear and discomfort as opportunities for growth and just keep going. Habits and skills are not built just by doing it once. It is repetition and continuity. Staying in your comfort zone does you no good. Start relying on yourself because the only person who can save you is him. Stay safe, happy, and healthy my sweet angels. I am always by your side.
