Here's how you can maintain motivation and focus on your goals as a freelancer in the mindfulness field.

When setting morning intentions, start with your internal feelings; don't jump directly to the tasks and goals you want to accomplish during the day. By setting our emotional intentions first, we create a solid foundation for the daily tasks that are part of our larger goals. When we don't align our emotions with our desires, success becomes elusive, and the journey can be a struggle.

Develop resilience to navigate the inevitable challenges and setbacks encountered in freelancing. Embrace setbacks as learning opportunities and opportunities for growth, rather than obstacles to success. Cultivate a positive mindset by reframing negative experiences and focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Practice self-compassion and self-care to replenish your energy and maintain your well-being during challenging times. By building resilience, you can bounce back stronger and stay motivated to pursue your goals with passion and perseverance. Utilize visualization and positive affirmations to reinforce your goals and aspirations. 🧡

Setting intentions can be so powerful for achieving your goals. However, there is a distinction between this and goal-setting; intention setting is a lot more loose, and more focused on feelings rather than productivity or tangible results. Sometimes, when we're not clear on our intentions, achieving our goals can come with the cost of feeling stressed, frazzled and burnt out. So make sure that you're setting intentions during the day on HOW you want to be successful as a freelancer. It's as easy as saying "I love that I achieved what I set out to do in my career field with ease and patience." Or other ways you'd like to feel!

Your intentions, positive or negative, are thoughts prior to taking form as actions. Positive Motivation is your Mindful thought that focuses your "call to action".

Mindfulness Coaches are entrepreneurial by nature. As 'Freelancers' or Business Owners, WE often work long hours or irregular schedules. Therefore WE must create a "Balanced Life" in maintaining our overall physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

I've been in my business for years, and the structure of balance is a fluid thing; I adapt it to current projects and the needs of my body—both physically and mentally. I have confirmed to myself many times that preparing for the day is key, whether through planning ahead or practicing mindfulness, which helps me maintain the energy and emotions that support my business and personal life.

Creating structures and developing good habits is one of the hardest parts of freelancing. Managing your schedule may seem easy, but it often leads to procrastination and distraction. We are all different, and from my perspective, it works the opposite way: I always start with smaller tasks that I can finish quickly and effectively. This approach helps me fall into a working flow, which then allows me to tackle more difficult, creative tasks that require more effort.

Being flexible in mind and schedule is one of the keys to success. When we hit a wall and feel stuck, taking a break and doing something we enjoy—whether a mental or physical activity—can bring us back on track. In business, I find it helpful to take a break in the morning if needed and work later at night. Sometimes, it's not possible, but when it is, listening to what the body and mind need can prevent many struggles.

Mindfulness reflection is like a regular doctor's check-up; it can prevent disasters. It helps us reflect on what works and what doesn't, giving us the opportunity to learn from failures and progress faster. At the same time, it's a great way to celebrate achievements and recognize the good things, as our minds naturally tend to focus on failures.

Motivation is 'the willingness and desire to do something'. Mindfulness Coaches are Empaths, who by their very nature, understand and feel the emotions of others. The Primary Goal of a Mindfulness Coach is to guide people to "Be the best You that You Can Be".
