Self Care
Confession: My name is Alexas and I talk to myself. Guess what? You should too! On a daily basis, positive deposits and affirmations can help us successfully complete each day. This section is dedicated to strength building quotes, revelations and self-help resources for both you and me. We've got this! First things first :
You ARE enough!
"Post-It" Progress
Sticky notes are so effective for so many of our daily tasks. In the past, I would put reminders in my phone and conveniently never get the notification. I'm old fashion because it works and I can't hit ignore, ha, ha!! I use sticky notes for lists, tasks, expense noting (until I can spend more time to file properly) and so much more.
Two main uses are to remind and affirm myself to refresh my outlook and to create a visual roadmap of goals. I love to unpeel goals achieved!
What you say matters!
Daily Affirmations are clutch! They can effectively push you into victory. What you speak over yourself, your day and the tasks at hand can determine the outcome before you've even begun. Use your words to your advantage and speak positively over all the concerns you! You've got this!
The Mental Muscle
Sharpening your skills and mental capacity is always stimulating and beneficial to our overall growth. Life often calls for different skills and techniques on approach. Ways to strengthen your mind, cultivate new skills and tap into fresh perspective are:
-
Leaderships/business reads
-
strategic thinking courses and exercises
-
Updating YOUR software in your field of expertise
-
Connect with a mentor and create a growth plan!

Boundaries
It's not a dirty word...
...and you should keep reminding yourself of that until you work up the confidence to put them in place. Often times, unnecessary stress, frustration and feelings of being overwhelmed reach new heights when we allow others to wreck our peace. You CAN make the executive decision to limit your exposure. Caring is a beautiful thing! In order to continue, you must put in effort to preserve the healthy desire with boundaries.
