Create pressure

For years I let this negative mindset ruin my life,

Now I realise it’s a HUGE advantage.

There is only 4.3% of this year left 😱

I've always felt an immense sense of pressure:

→ before my birthday 🎂
→ before the end of the year 🎆
→ before I move to my next asian city 🛫

Because they gave me a 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 sense of dread :

The dread of another year not reaching my full potential. But the very fact that I’m affected by these feelings, is proof that I KNOW I have more to give. And I’m proud that that’s the type of person I am!

So I’ve started using these milestones as deadlines for myself.
↳ Because what do deadlines create?

PRESSURE!

Pressure gets a bad rap, but it’s the kick I need to SHOW UP for my goals.

All of my best work (and the times I’ve felt most 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 have) had a tight deadline. 👇🏼

👉🏼 “I can’t turn 26 and STILL not have a YouTube”
👉🏼 “I can’t leave Vietnam without my product launched”
👉🏼 “I CAN NOT let it be 2025 be scared to launch the business of my dreams”

This refusal, this anger, this DREAD - I’m leaning into it. And turning it into GOLD✨

So in the spirit of taking action…

💜 I’ll be launching my new business this week ↳ If you’re a female founder, solopreneur or freelancer and want to level-up your life with likeminded girlies in 2025, you might wanna keep an eye out 👀💜

And no matter who you are, if you’re feeling negative emotions around this time of year:

- Remember, you're in control
- Reflect on why you feel this way
- Let the pressure motivate you to take action

This is natures deadline! Use it or lose it. 🫶🏻

✨And make 2025 the best year yet!✨
