Beliefs create your reality.
by Zahara Matovu
Everyone of us has certain beliefs they take to be true. Some of our beliefs were unconciously picked up during childhood, and others are conscious decisions we made to accept these beliefs to be true.
Bye Bye Perfect-Bye Bye Paralysis
by Agakura Viñas Burihabwa
From the moment we are born, being perfect is never part of the blueprint.
We learn to walk by standing up, wobbling, falling on our bums, and getting back up again.
Until one day, something shifts.
The Pippi Longstocking Contradiction: "Admire, don't emulate."
by Agakura Viñas Burihabwa
One childhood memory that stands out for me is that of enjoying Pippi Longstocking in the presence of equally thrilled adults and then, in the next moment, getting into trouble for speaking my mind.
What I couldn’t make sense of as a child, I later embodied as an adult:
Admire strong minded female characters in literature or on TV, from a distance, so to say, but don’t you dare emulate them.
All your judgements about yourself are temporary.
by Zahara Matovu
I wasn't planning on sharing this, but I think it may help someone.
We can be ourselves worst critic when it comes to judging ourselves.
We may say things like, "I am not good enough, I am not fit enough, I am a mess, I never do anything right, why is it always me?" etc.
You're Brilliant. And So Is Your Sabotage System.
by Agakura Viñas Burihabwa
A sophisticated mind doesn’t sabotage loudly, it sabotages eloquently.
A sophisticated mind builds arguments, gathers evidence and is brilliant at telling a really coherent story.

On Choosing The Well Woman Over The Good Girl
by Agakura Viñas Burihabwa
For a long time, I chose being good over being well.
And well, it wasn’t good.
Being good meant being agreeable, pleasing and grateful, even when something felt off.
It meant I didn’t make anyone uncomfortable because I adapted faster than I listened to myself.

Time management
by Zahara Matovu
Do you also feel like you don't have enough time for everything in your everyday life?
Then let's take a moment and become conscious on how to use our time wisely, because everything we do revolves around time, consciously or unconsciously.
Consistency will beat Talent every time
by Zahara Matovu
Why do I make a statement like this? That's because of the fact that, for talent to shine, it must be supported by consistency.
One may have a talent for singing or football, however, the talent can only come to light when one practices consistently.
Gratitude
by Zahara Matovu
When were you last grateful for something? It's unbeliveable how most people underrate being grateful for the big things, but most especially, the small things we over look.
Being grateful is the door that opens a lot of great opportunities.
When You’re Functioning, But Something Feels Off
by Helena Chan
People rarely come to coaching because something is “wrong.” More often, they arrive because something feels off. Life is functioning, yet clarity feels harder to reach. Decisions take more effort.
Perfectionism does not exist
by Zahara Matovu
This isn't easy for me to admit, but I was convinced that I was a perfectionist for quite a long time. I used to identify myself as a 'perfectionist' until one time I was listening to a podcast where the host said that 'perfectionism' does not exist.
Motivation Vs Action
by Zahara Matovu
When's the last time you waited for motivation in order to take action? I guess it's been a while or maybe you're still waiting for that motivation.
I want to let you know that, contrary to the usual belief, it is taking action first that breeds motivation.
Forever Winter
by Jane Clarke
February is always a dark and gloomy month this far north. Whilst the days are now lengthening, getting a little lighter with each one that passes, the heavy, brooding clouds overhead make it hard for us to see that spring is just around the corner.
Immediate Gratification.
by Zahara Matovu
Do you also feel like the world is moving so fast? What could be the reason? I think that we are apparently living in a life of immediate gratification.
What is immediate gratification? We see it everywhere with the most obvious being online shopping.
You Are Exactly Where You Are Meant to Be
by Sharn Somasiri
Right now, in this moment, you are exactly where you are meant to be.
Not further ahead.
Not further behind.
That might be uncomfortable to hear, especially if part of you feels stuck, frustrated, or impatient to move on.

Nuggets of wisdom I wish I listened to in my 20s
by Catalina Ciucalau
Here are some pearls of wisdom I learned along the way that have helped me live life joyously:
• we love creating more than the creation, we enjoy giving birth to new ideas constantly.
Giving up
by Zahara Matovu
Giving up is often seen as failure. However, sometimes giving up can be good. For example, if you come to a realization that what you're doing is not adding to your future plans, or you don't see yourself doing it in the future, then I think it's good to consider giving up.
Self love
by Zahara Matovu
Women often find themselves lost and don't know who they are anymore because of the various life experiences such as marriage, childbirth and taking care of the family, job and everything else in between.
