7 ways to show up for yourself

Posted on December 12, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

As we round off the year, I like to share tid bits of wisdom that I’ve gained or read. And I think it’s really important that we show up for yourselves. Sometimes we have to be our own hype person, our own hand to high hive or shoulder to cry on. The list below are some of my tried and true methods to showing up for yourself.

*all pictures are my own* do not use without explicit and written consent.

Commit to routines that are good for your well being – be disciplined to do them enough even when you don’t want to.
Practice self awareness – listening to your needs and course correcting when you aren’t aligning to your ultimate goals
Give yourself grace – we don’t need to be perfect, it’s okay to fumble, take the rest you need, what matters is getting quickly getting back to your routines.
Take care of your daily human needs: stay hydrated, eat healthy, get enough sleep, get sunshine and practice moderate activity
Be curious – take every opportunity to learn and stretch yourself
Make yourself a priority – show up for yourself, take care of yourself and be proud of your accomplishments
Always have a grateful heart – it gives you perspective

5 top ways to be more confident in your career

Posted on December 7, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

One thing about me, is if I can share my wisdom I will. I do a lot of mentoring in my corporate girlie life. And I also look for opportunities to be mentored. I’ve had a few great mentors over the years who have guided, protected and propelled me – so I really feel passionate about giving back.

Sometimes, those mentors are in my company, in my personal life or even virtual.

So consider me your virtual mentor! I hope these tips can help you exude more confidence in your job, career, big dreams and beyond.

Don’t take personalities or communication styles personally
I find that as adults making friends is a hit or miss. There is such a mix of characters and preferred ways of interacting that we can be friendly with some and frenemies with others. The same applies in the workplace. There is also a mix of personalities and communication styles (cultures and genders can add to the bag). Remind yourself that when people are being direct, it is not personal.
Stop putting others on a pedestals
If you think other people around are better or smarter than you, because of a certain job title, project they are on or experience – they probably arent. And you can prevent the feeling of under confidence by not assuming people are better than you purely based on what you see. Remember everyone is going through something, even if you can’t see it.
Assume you are doing well (unless you are told otherwise)
Managers have a responsibility to have transparent conversations with their employees about work activities and performance. So unless you are being told otherwise, assume everything is going well!
Remind yourself its not that serious
Perspective is important. Remember if it won’t matter in 5 years, don’t spend 5 seconds thinking about it. Zoom out and get a higher point of view. Put in an honest effort, but don’t lose sleep or miss your breaks/PTO because of it.
Reframe your negative thoughts into positive ones
We often think the worse in every situation. It actually takes more effort and energy to negative than positively. If you feel like you are asking too many questions, remind yourself that you want to have clarity. But also if you get feedback that at first stings, take it as an opportunity to improve.

Remember to lean into your Divine Feminine Energy

Posted on November 29, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

Sometimes women get stuck in their toxic masculine energy. This can be because of many factors but it all comes down to our fast paced lifestyle, being out of sync with the moon cycles, lack of community and not using our hands (aka holding a tiny black screen all day!).

Which manifests for some women as:

feeling stressed all the time
being in flight or fight mode for years
operating from a point of fear
the need to control everything

But it’s very easy for us women to return to our natural state and divine feminine energy.

Here are 3 ways to nurture your Divine Feminine and call back your natural receiving energy.

Be creative – This means making something with you hands. Can be art, can be a meal, knitting, writing/journaling, doing your make up/hair
Spend time in nature – Being within the trees, walking barefoot in the grass, try to aim for 10-30 minutes in the sun and within the trees. We need to do a more concerted effort to reconnect with mother nature.
Learn to say no – As women we often obligated to do things for others, take care of others and put ourselves last on the priority list. We often feel bad saying no and feel like we need to handle more than we can – it creates bitterness and resentment. Start practicing saying no today. It will be the first step in healing the the wounded feminine.

4 routines to help reach your goals

Posted on November 25, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

I know its this time of year when everyone is gearing up for 2024. Goals/resolutions, vision boards, planning planning planning. Here’s your reminder that along with these activities you should take every opportunity be mindful about your journey…

Practice Gratitude: Having genuine gratitude for what you have now!

Visualize: Imagine your life as if if you have achieved your goals. What you want, where you want to be, down to ever. last. detail.

Adjust your thoughts: Think about what you want everyday and act like you already have it. This trains your mind to see more opportunities to get you closer to what you want.

Transform: everyday, every minute you need to SHOW up as the person who has what you want and has achieved the goal you are going to achieve. This will be the most challenging part, but you have to push through and do it.

Journal prompts for your birthday!

Posted on October 19, 2023 by Bhanu Misra Marya

If you know me (or have been around my blog for a few years) you know that I love to journal and truly believe in the benefits of journaling.

Journalling is a form of therapy. It offers a mental and emotional release that you may not even know you need. Furthermore, using journal prompts offers a quiet reflection and forces us to be honest and thoughtful.

For my birthday this year, I chose a few birthday journal prompts to get me to both intentionally reflect on the past 12 months and refocus on the year ahead.

How are you celebrating your birthday (today, this weekend, later this week/month)?
When you think about the last 12 months, what is 1 word that immediately comes to mind? why?
What happened this year that you are so grateful for?
How have you stepped out of your comfort zone this year?
If you could speak to yourself 10 years from, what would you say to yourself? What would Older Self say to you?

Do you use Journal Prompts? Which journal prompts do you love to use?

Happy Journaling!
