5 Lessons from a Year of Growth and Change

I am finally sitting down.

I feel like I've been caught in a tornado the past couple of weeks. 🌪

Handling the move out of my house, packing my life into suitcases, taking care of my dog, trying to enjoy my last days in Bali (amidst the rain), and, working in the middle of it all.

Not sure how I did it, but I did. 😮💨

Now, it's time to GO as I am officially flying to Singapore. 💃

As I am enjoying my oat cappuccino in the busy airport of Bali, I realised that I haven't published my newsletter last week.

So here I am, writing to you all some of the lessons I learned this year:

1. Listen to yourself FIRST

You will always hear other people's opinions or unsollicitate advice whenever you're taking a chance on yourself.

Remember, most of them are projecting things on you (eg. their fears or limiting beliefs).

Don't let that stop you.

If you want to step out of your comfort zone, try something new... whatever people think, GO for it!

That's the sentence my mom told me when I decided to launch GreenPush 2,5 years ago and now I am saying it to you. Trust your intuition, inner voice and just go for it!

You've got this. 💪

2. If you want something, ACT on it

Honestly, taking action is as important as manifesting whatever you want.

Even small, tiny actions, when compound can help you achieve your wildest dreams. I just purchased the 1% diary by Steven Bartlett and I can't wait to use it.

Consistency + belief in yourself = moving MOUNTAINS!!!

3. Energy & Time are finite

I learned this when listening to Roxie Nafousi this year at Dragonfly and I could not agree more.

It's easy to let yourself into a "I have time" mindset or saying yes to things that drain your energy "just because".

But at the end of the day, your energy and time are finite. Make sure to use them wisely.

Make time for things that align with yourself. Give your energy to all the "HELL YES" kind-of moments & people.

The rest, well, can wait. :)

4. CELEBRATE yourself

It's soooo easy to go from milestone to milestone, project to project, client to client.

Make sure you take some time to celebrate yourself in 2025. It does not have to wait your birthday.

Honestly, life is too short, when you hit a milestone, make sure it gets the proper celebration it deserves!

When I finished my first-ever Masterclass, I celebrated myself here on LinkedIn. Even added confettis to the picture, coz why NOT. 😃

It's okay to be proud of yourself, you deserve it!!

5. Find your TRIBE

One of the biggest thing that helps me get through life in general, is my SUPPORT system.

You know who I am talking about.

The people who CHEER you on, your wins are their wins, they are here for you when you need them and most importantly, they BELIEVE in you.

It does not have to be an army of people. 😂

A handful is enough to help you move your mountains, celebrate you and SUPPORT you all the way. 🤗

If you're looking for that cheering-up, lifting-you-up kind of tribe, well join me on 14th January as I am launching my Positive Push Cohort!!! Learn more 👉

I hope these lessons resonate with you and will be useful for the new year.

And now... time to go!

Wish me luck this week as I am will be visiting like a 1000s flats with my husband. 😅

I wish you a wonderful festive season!

May it be joyful, restful, playful and as FABULOUS as YOU. 🤩

With all my positive energy,

Alya
