Habits of Successful Women

Posted on October 10, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

Self talk can be both constructive or positive. Maybe it’s age and the wisdom that comes with it but I’m able to intercept the no so positive self talk dialogues. Interestingly enough I also find that my self awareness has increased so much that even when I’m dealing with certain situations I can usually insert more positive self talk like: “you are tougher than this”, “this is nothing compared to that” or “it’s time to set you intentions, create a plan and get to where you need to be”.

Resiliency is probably the top skill of successful people & more important for women. The type of resiliency that leans into emotional endurance and divine feminine energy. Read on to learn more about the habits (ask skills, activities and routines) of successful women.

What is Human Design?

Posted on October 3, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

Have you heard of the “Human Design Chart”? (aka Human Design, HDC, Body Graph).
Looking at the picture you may think it’s some sort of robotic humanoid. Well it’s not robotic, but it does have everything to do with being human and how to understand our whole human system so we can live our best life.

The best definition I’ve heard is that Human Design is equal parts practical and woowoo.
Human Design can be used as a target operating model for a person on how they can live in alignment with their truest self, how they make decisions and what gifts they are meant to give to the world. It’s both helpful to the self but also to people you work and live with (think business teams and families). Interestingly, the only pieces of information required to build your body graph are your birth date, time and location.

I’ve been learning more about my HDC for the last 2 years and I think I’m ready to share more about what I’ve learned about my own chart. Check back soon to learn more!

6 ways to maintain your sanity while achieving your goals

Posted on August 13, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

The internet has been a buzz for several years with words like #BossBabe and #She-EO – all of which sound incredibly hazardous because as of recently they are also followed by themes of burnout and mental wellness.

I love being ambitious and setting goals that I work towards. But I also strive for balance and grace. And I think being both a mom (at home) and a mentor (in my corporate career) I feel compelled to underline the truth: give yourself grace because you can have it all…but not at the same time! Sharing my suggestions below, with a mini recap of some outfits I wore on vacation recently (you know me, all about the inspiration & motivation!)

Plan ahead and prioritize: Whether it’s on a Sunday for the week ahead, in the morning before things get going or a Friday afternoon brain dump. Take time to think about what you need to focus on and figure out what needs to get done when. You plan to fail when you fail to plan – check out my digital planner page on Etsy if you are looking for a great planning tool.
Time Block your schedule: whether its timeblocking your day or your week, figure out what you want to work on when instead of trying to multi task. Even better, try and fully complete the work you planned on before starting something new. You’ll get a natural dopamine kick and you also won’t feel scattered from having too many unfinished tasks on your to-do list at the end of the day.
Let the Pomodoro timer be your best friend: I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again. When you feel stressed or anxious about doing something – set a time for 20 minutes and do as much of that task in time alotted.
Take breaks (both physical and mental): This is something I learned from running but it applies to everything! Literally schedule it into your gCal or planner. I always block my workouts and my lunch, but now I need to add a morning and afternoon walk.
Give yourself grace: Sometimes we all need a reminder. Ambitious people tend to be perfectionists, but it’s okay because you can’t overwhelm yourself and do your best work – it just doesn’t work that way.
Release limiting beliefs: Sometimes we feel guilty for doing less, not doing things fast enough or not doing it right the first time. It’s important to work through that (everyone’s journey is different) – but it all cases, those ideals need to be demolished! Knowledge is power, and these book recommendations can help :)

Book Review: The Creation Frequency by Mike Murphy

Posted on July 3, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

Earlier this year, I set a reading goal to read 12 books (at least) in 2023. I’m happy to report I’m right on track!

I recently read The Creation Frequency by Mike Murphy and it was such a great reminder about how we understand and interact with our surroundings (read: the Universe).

My favourite part was how he explained the power of manifestation as it relates to quantum science AND ancient wisdom.

Shout out to Vaughan Public Library for having such a great book in their catalogue! I’ll have to check it out again and update this post because I really want that concise commentary to live on this blog.

I give this book 5/5 ⭐️. If you are looking for a refresher or even an introduction on the topic – this is a great quick read with actionable steps.

Please share any book recommendations in the comments. Or check out the other books I’ve read in 2023 here.

July Goals

Posted on July 1, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

Hey there, it’s been a few weeks, a beach vacation and a potential change in the Earth’s Schumann Resonance – but I’m here to share my July goals ;)

The best way to build confidence is to set goals. Setting goals gives us a way to set promises to ourselves. When we keep those promises (aka accomplish the goals) we create self trust within ourselves. That self trust turns into self awareness and an understanding that “if I can do this, I can do so much more!”
