Decluttering your life and reaching financial goals

8 Apr

Hi hi lovely people, how are you? Let’s take a deep breath in, shall we? *deep breath*

Let’s cut right to it! Here’s this week’s Friday Feels 🎉 Snippets from my world of coaching, meditation and breathwork – with the intention to share information that brings joy, wonder and self-reflection.

1. Song of the week

Walking After You – Foo Fighters – listen on Spotify and YouTube

I grew up listening to the Foo Fighters and with the death of their drummer, Taylor Hawkins, I’ve been reflecting gradually on just how much their music has been the backdrop to parts of my life. I had enjoyed learning to play this soft and beautiful song on guitar last year, so I’ve been playing it a lot more these last few weeks. Thank you for the music! Rest well, Mr Hawkins x

2. Quote of the week

It’s a long quote this week! But a very good one. Ready?

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

― W.H. Murray

Oof! If that doesn’t make you want to jump off the sofa and into some kind of action, I don’t know what will! And if you aren’t sure what action to take, come join my free mindset coaching class next week – sign up here. As Mr. Murray says, BEGIN IT NOW 😉

3. Practice of the week

Decluttering!

I have been doing a gradual declutter of my loft. I’ve shredded the last parts of my Physics undergraduate lab books and masters degrees essays. I share more on Instagram in this short video!

I also got rid of old letters, photos and cards, including from ex-boyfriends. Memories I didn’t mind releasing. It’s been a dusty and cathartic process. Check out this awesome video about the KonMari method that I watch to get me fired up before a declutter. Spark joy!!

4. Teaching of the week

Planning your focus and action.

How much do you plan? And are you clear on what you want in life? Are you moving towards clearly defined goals? It’s so powerful to have a clear intention and a direction in which you are moving. Because where attention goes, energy flows. Without clear goals, your attention will be consistently gobbled up by other people, circumstances and human drama happening around you. I have a quarterly, monthly and weekly planning cycle that I use for my personal life and business. I’m going to share more about this in my free mindset coaching class next week!

5. Client win of the week

“I reverse engineered my income… and it’s doable. I can earn £35K/year from this. It’s actually very achievable.”

A coaching client dropped this juicy realisation on our call recently. We’d been working on building up her business alongside her 9-5 job. When we first started our coaching journey 4 months ago, the idea of making the jump to running her own business felt really far off. But she’s been steadily showing up and doing the work on her business and also building up her confidence with selling online. And now she can see the potential. And it’s not fantasy. It’s very doable.

This is huge! And that’s not even her final income target. This is an intermediate goal to a bigger figure of £70K/year for her business in the next 12 months.

The freedom and possibility that’s here for her now is amazing. I am thrilled for her! It’s often so tricky to figure this all out on our own. Coaching helps collapse time – it speeds up your results. Which is why I love both coaching and being coached! I want to keep expanding and growing. And that’s what I want for you too!

Come join me in feeling that expansion! Register for my free mindset coaching class on Tuesday 12th April – sign up here.

That’s it for this week’s Friday Feels! Thanks for being here. Take a lovely deep breath in. Whatever is moving for you, you’ve got this. Promise!

Big love,
