I've never been a fan of setting goals at the year's end (or beginning 🫣) – it just doesn't work for me. 🚫 (Be honest, how does your list look like by the end of March? 🙄) But here's what does work for me: at the end of each month, I take a moment to reflect on the past 30 days. It's amazing to realize how much can happen in just a month! 🗓️ I think about the great things that occurred, the incredible people I met, moments of joy, my failures, my successes, how I cared for myself and others, how others cared about me, and the overall balance in my life (yes, including all those weekly 'seasons' us women experience! 😄). This monthly check-in helps train my brain to focus on the positives and find ways to improve. 🧠💪 Does it work every time? No. But since I started doing this, I've definitely seen progress. 🌱📈 So, I'm inviting you to join me on this journey. Let's ditch the yearly pressure and embrace monthly reflections. You might be surprised by how much you grow! 🌟 📌Register here: https://lnkd.in/gihen-DH #QuietTenacity #MonthlyReflections #MindfulLiving #GrowthJourney #SelfCare #Immigrants #Diversity #Inclusion #Belonging #ProfessionalDevelopment #Career #Success #Progress #Future

Start new financial year positively Things will get better

Technology was created to enhance our life and enjoy it. Why do people care so much about capturing a video of the Arc de Triomphe lighting up in a million colors and posting it on social media? Why do they prefer this over putting their phones away and cheer, hug, kiss and laugh with their friends/family? Imagine the following conversation: - Gustav: "so where did you spend NYE?" - Gregoire: "at Champs Elysées, it was awesome man, so many people, lights, colors, fireworks. Here... look at this video I capture" (... shows video) -Gustav: "that's fantastic. Who did you get to kiss or at least hug?" ** awkward silence ** -Gregoire: "... but look at the lights, breathtaking!!!" ** awkward silence ** It's genuinely sad to see this plethora of people putting social media front and center in their lives, rather than living the moment and sharing it with their loved ones. (PS: I made up the names, no reference to an actual person is being made...)

As we dive into the vibrant month of April, it's worth taking a moment to appreciate the myriad of occasions that pepper our calendars, reminding us of the diverse tapestry of cultures, causes, and celebrations that make up our global community. At the heart of these diverse observances lies a common thread of awareness, acknowledgment, education, and the goal to connect society. Whether we're raising awareness about a pressing issue, expressing gratitude for the blessings in our lives, or celebrating the richness of our cultural heritage, each event serves as a catalyst for dialogue, understanding, and collective action. As we navigate the bustling landscape of April's calendar, let's embrace the spirit of connection and engagement. Whether it's by participating in local events, supporting relevant causes, or simply taking a moment to learn and reflect, let's seize the opportunity to foster empathy, build bridges, and create positive change in our communities and beyond. #AprilAwareness #GlobalCommunity #ConnectThroughAction

Welcome to March! 🌼 An important month if you set out to be better and do better this year. Join me as I reflect on this last month of the first quarter of the year, with specific messages for you if: > you've been making progress (congratulations!) > if you haven't been making progress (don't worry, I get it, life is busy!). I'll bring insights into your journey so far, what to look out for and what to do next. I'll also show the difference between getting help to keep up momentum and getting help to start. There are even some VIP Fast Passes to skip 3 steps of the 7 Steps to Improve Your Life! This is an important month. You're either going to keep going or get help; and there's plenty to be positive about and to look forward to. Let me know what you think, and drop me a message if it's time to Get Help.
