We heard this tip a few years ago + it's been an absolute GAME CHANGER for us in terms of: work-flow, the ability to focus on important tasks + get more done in way less time (at both our full-time n' side hustle jobs).

+ here's the kicker...

IT'S SO FRICKIN'. SIMPLE.
As in, it'll literally take you TWO seconds to do S-I-M-P-L-E.
All you gotta do is set up intentional 'focus' time (ideally in the beginning of your day, before the e-mails/work flow gets too crazy) + while you're hustling on - 𝐏𝐔𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐃𝐄.

CHOOSING Thoughts that SERVE + EMPOWER You...

GG: BALANCING #SOCIAL FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Balancing-Social

PSA: You are WIRED to think negative thoughts. All. Day. Long.

Literally, your brain’s own limbic system (think: the oldest/strongest/most cave-man part of your noggin’) is literally DESIGNED to hit the panic button at the slightest sign of danger.

Now, back in the day of loin cloths and sabertooth tigers (Joe Exotic would be thrilled…) - this wiring was superrrr useful in keeping us, well… ALIVE.

BUT, lucky for a lot of us - that daily need for survival isn’t the same anymore…

Our beautiful BRAIN however, IS.

Now, fast-forward to a world-wide pandemic, economic recession + a world where Charmin Ultra has basically replaced the dollar… + that brain of yours is having a fieldddd day!

All of those negative thoughts you’ve been having?

All of the worst-case-scenarios that keep running in the background?

The insane amounts of...

CORONAVIRUS + #Social (Media) Distancing!

WHAT. A. SH*T. STORM. #AmIRight?!

This week has honestly felt like a scene straight out of 'Contagion' or 'I Am Legend'... + there's nothing like a nation-wide plea for toilet paper to remind us of the importance of the BASICS (literally).

However, as crazy/uncertain as these times may be... it almost feels like the fear and overwhelm that we're all dealing with is just as infectious as COVID-19 itself... + our addiction to the feed isn't helping anyone feel ANY better.

We WANT to stay informed. As humans, we CRAVE being in the know and we have a VERY hard time dealing with the unknown. We're wired for answers - and when it seems as though we're not getting any, our natural instinct is to... F*CKING. PANIC.

*breatheeeeee, sis....*

REMEMBER: the STRESS that you're inflicting on your body from freaking out - is DETRIMENTAL to the strong, badass, beautiful white blood cells that...

AHHHH!!! *screams internally out of PURE. GODDAMN. JOY*

Your girl (hi hi! Deniz here!) got to meet SO many @girlsguide.co boss babes in the making today in PERSON...

+ I gotta say, nothing makes our lil hearts wanna explode more than getting to serve you ladies in the feed/face to face *virtual hug*

More than HALF of the stellar local female entrepreneurs in this "Social Media Power Hour" at our downtown co-working space were GG followers - *squeals*

+ you know the best part?
They were all SO. FRICKIN. NICE!!!
These super sweet ladies were CRAVING connection with other badass girls bosses, they WANTED to level up their #social media game + they KNEW they had to get out of their perfectionist mindsets/classic comfort zones to do it.

How NOT Setting INTENTION Can Screw You/Your Biz Over


GG: FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Planning-Posts

It's a mistake a LOT of female entrepreneurs make (us included!)... + tbh, you've probably already made it TODAY (#NoShame #AlwaysGrowGirl)
Trying to function throughout your day, or get through the seemingly never-ending to-do's of your business list without INTENTION is like trying to find a Waffle House in the middle of Vermont without a GPS... *F*CKING. HARD* 

You MIGHT get there, eventuallyyyy... but it's going to take you:

...10 x as longer... (when you already feel out of time)

­ ...make you wanna pull your hair out...(NO GIRL PLZ)

...+ there's a HUGE chance you might not make it (womp womp).

We end up doing this SO often, that we just fall into the habits that no longer serve us, waste our own damn time or don't ACTUALLY get us RESULTS.

Especially when it comes to moving the dial on your biz... $$$
