Waking up everyday grateful to actually be living the life that we planned, prayed and dreamed of 🤍

I TORE MY VISION BOARD UP TODAY, HERE’S WHY: ⁣
⁣
I made my vision board just over two years ago (February 2018). ⁣
⁣
I encourage my clients to make vision boards.⁣
⁣
I have blog posts and YouTube videos all about the power of them. ⁣
⁣
But today, I tore mine up.⁣
(Along with some framed affirmations I had and a list of my desires) ⁣
⁣
WHY?? ⁣
⁣
I am closer than I have ever been to seeing everything on that board manifest.⁣
⁣
I feel that in my bones.⁣
⁣
But today I woke up and I felt heavy. ⁣
⁣
I ran to God, fell on my bedroom floor, and cried it out because that’s all I really know to do when I feel this way 😂⁣
⁣
Anyway, I felt God offering me something I didn’t even know I needed: “WILL YOU LET ME SET YOU FREE FROM THE WEIGHT OF YOUR AMBITION DAUGHTER?”⁣
⁣
[pause] ⁣
⁣
As I write this post, Its dawning on me that whilst valuable, it is farrrrrr too long for an IG caption 😂 so I’m taking it to the fam who apparently love my ramblings 🤷🏾‍♀️⁣
⁣
If you AREN’T part of the fam but want to be to find out the rest of this story ( i.e how I was set free from the weight of my ambition + what tearing up my vision board had to do with that) just DM me your email 📧 and first name 😘 ⁣
⁣
It will be in your inbox (or junk - thanks mailchimp 🙄) tomorrow morning ✨⁣
⁣
Yours in love and in service always ⁣

ME before YOU. ⁣
⁣
So usually I try to prioritise filling up my cup before doing anything else or attending to anyone else, but I realised yesterday that I hadn’t made it an absolute non-negotiable and it was super detrimental. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⤹ HOW DID I LEARN THIS LESSON? ⁣
⁣
[I’m gonna give you details because I think without that it’s hard to grasp the point I’m trying to let you catch...]⁣
⁣
So usually I sleep with my phone on airplane mode on in the lounge (I use a physical alarm clock) and only turn it back on when I have filled my spirit (praying and the Word), soul (audio book/reading) and body (working out + fluids) but yesterday for some reason I turned my phone on before doing this..📲⁣
⁣
I get a text from an acquaintance (I was gonna say friend but ) she asks me if I have 10 minutes to give her some advice because she was in a bit of a mess...10 minutes was more like 1hr and 10 minutes⁣
⁣
Later that day I get another call out of the bloom from someone else I knew asking for some business advice, I figured I could answer 1 or 2 questions, he had a list of 10 🙄😂 ⁣
⁣
There were a few more instances that happened like this but these are enough to demonstrate my point...⁣
⁣
So I reached the end of the day and I was so TIRED and drained...😩⁣
⁣
I wanted to blame her.⁣
I wanted to blame him.⁣
I wanted to blame something. ⁣
⁣
But after journaling and praying I realised i was absolutely responsible for the way my day mapped out. ⁣
⁣
I literally asked to be the type of person people can come to, I absolutely asked for my light to shine so brightly that people in need of it can’t help but come. ⁣
⁣
It’s my job then to make sure I am always OVERFLOWING. ⁣
To make sure I am in fighting condition everyday. ⁣
To put boundaries in place even during the day about when I’m open to pouring out and when I’m not; my inability to do this is no one else’s fault. ⁣
⁣
When you ask to be in service, you don’t get to control who God sends to you, only the ability you have to help them without compromising you.⁣
⁣
It is not selfish to fill your cup up FIRST. It demonstrates an understanding that you are ultimately here in service. Do what you need to do, take the time

[2/2] THE SECRET TO A MAGICAL LIFE ⁣
⁣
At first it was the less tangible stuff that began to change. ⁣
⁣
Instead of waking up and feeling defeated before even starting the day I’d choose joy (something that felt impossible before) ⁣
⁣
Instead of focusing on how much I didn’t have, I’d look around and notice how much I did have. The fact that I had a housemate who was literally a God sent and would randomly encourage me when I needed it. ⁣
⁣
Then tangible stuff started to happen...⁣
⁣
First it was stuff like free coffees from my local corner shop, then I ‘bumped into’ my favourite celebrity after deciding to go to the breakfast club to promote my book (they didn’t let me in 😂😂😂)⁣
⁣
I had no bank account (it was blocked while I was out there and I couldn’t open a new one until retaining to the UK) at the time but my housemate asked me to make him a website and paid me in cash $100 more than my asking price and I went from living day to day off of book sales to not having to worry about money. ⁣
⁣
Then months later I returned to NYC unplanned, and from this trip came a publishing deal offer to write my second book (which I’m writing now) with a New York publisher. ⁣
⁣
I could honestly go on and on about the amazing things that started to and continued to happen when I made gratitude a central part of my rituals but I guess the key takeaway is even in situations where you feel like you don’t have enough, FIGHT TO see that you do and watch how the universe unravels her pearls before you ✨⁣
⁣
I have a podcast episode all⁣
about this (DM me for the link) or if you want to dive in deeper let’s book in a time to chat 🤗✨⁣

3 TIPS FOR MANIFESTING YOUR BIGGEST DREAMS THIS YEAR ✨ ⁣
⁣
[save this for later]⁣
⁣
⁣
❶ WRITE THE VISION. ⁣
⁣
It’s not enough to have it in your head. If you don’t take the time to prime your mind to achieve the extraordinary, it will by default lead you to ordinary (look around you). ⁣
⁣
I have a visualisation written down of me living in my God given vision, how it feels, who’s around me and what it took to get there. I read this every morning and It gives me the resilience to say no to everything that is out of alignment with that 🙅🏾‍♀️⁣
⁣
⁣
❷ STOP WAITING.⁣
⇣⁣
Working towards something like generational wealth, shifting culture, becoming the best in the world in your craft...seem like scary, big goals and it’s hard to know where to start so most people don’t. But YOU MUST. ⁣
⁣
If you really believe that the achievement of your biggest goal was immanent, what 3 habits would you adapt today? ⁣
⁣
👉🏾 Start doing them.Don’t wait. Prepare 💪🏾⁣
⁣
⁣
❸ RAISE YOUR VIBRATION (CONTINUOUSLY) ⁣
⇣⁣
If you’ve ever been around ultra successful people, you can just feel there’s ‘something’ about them. They may not have said or done anything profound, but you can just almost feel the excellence radiating from them. ⁣
⁣
This isn’t because they are superhuman. It’s because they are vibrating at a high vibration, the kind that makes manifesting extraordinary things easy and effortless. ⁣
⁣
A really good example of this is Joseph from the Bible, it didn’t matter where he went (even prison) he always got promoted and it wasn’t by accident. He was an extremely intelligent man who spent hours in the presence of God AND on developing his mind = high vibration. ⁣
⁣
This needs to be part of your strategy if you’re going to achieve the unthinkable. Effort alone won’t do it. ⁣
⁣
This is just a taste of what me and are going to be sharing on during our ‘FIT FOR PURPOSE’ online bootcamp this Saturday (10:00am - 13:00) we’re down to the last few slots and If you know you were built to do the extraordinary then you need to be here. ⁣

It’s your time ✨

REFLECTIONS OF A DIASPORA ⁣
⁣
⁣
Being a diaspora is a complex phenomenon. ⁣
I was born in Zimbabwe and my parents moved here when I was 3 years old. ⁣
⁣
I’m aware that despite growing up in England and being educated here; my brown skin and African features will always raise the thought “You are not from here” ⁣
⁣
Yet when I come “home” to my motherland, before I even open my mouth to say a word; my western mannerisms and my piercings will always raise the thought “hauzi we pano“ (you are not from here in shona/a Zimbabwean dialect). ⁣
⁣
So I guess I find myself in an interesting in between that used to make me feel pretty insecure if I’m honest. ⁣
⁣
But this morning as I sit on the patio with my grandmother and she reads the pages of my English bible; a language she does not fully grasp, written in letters so small that people even half her age find different to make out - I feel peace. ⁣
⁣
Knowing that heritage is something that runs through my bloodstreams. ⁣
Knowing that belonging is a heart posture. ⁣
Knowing that being a Zimbabwean women, with a British education is just perfect. ⁣
⁣
I’d love to here form my diaspora’s - where do you come from? Do you relate with any of this? 🤗✨⁣

Feeling immensely grateful for such a beautiful, growing and fruitful 2019. So blessed to be closing the year in my homeland 🇿🇼 ⁣
⁣
This year I’m focused on honouring my people. Like literally there’s been so many people who’ve nurtured me into the woman I am and I promise that this is the decade we eat like kings. PERIODT. ⁣
⁣
Absolute loyalty to my hittas and my person for believing in me crazy amounts. ⁣
⁣
That is all, enjoy your night loves 😉😘 @ Harare, Zimbabwe

How my waist is looking at me as I shamelessly indulge in these Belgian delicacies 👀😭⁣
⁣
Anyway I’ve left my six week progress pics here to remind me that it’s gonna be okay 😂⁣
⁣
On a real, Q4 was all about health for me. I decided to start working out properly and feeding my body good food. Less because I wanted to look better and more because I wanted to FEEL better. ⁣
⁣
One thing high performers have in common across all industries are high energy levels, which primarily comes from staying in optimal shape. It’s hard to inspire people and get what you need to done when you’re tired and lethargic all the time 🤷🏾‍♀️ ⁣
