Top 10 lessons learnt from 2020, that I'll carry into 2021.

I remember sitting in the living room with my husband, watching some old movie, waiting for the clock to tick 12:00.

I remember promising myself to the point of swearing that 2020 will be the year I win no matter what.

So it started with a bang!

Then quickly it turned into "What the heck", and that's how it been for most of us.

Truth be told, amidst all the chaos, beautiful things have manifested.

I got an amazing job right smack in the middle of the pandemic, self-published a book on amazon and started an online community for women who want to build their feminine personal brand.

There are lessons that I've learnt throughout the year and will forever change how I look at life, work, relationships and health as a whole.

In no particular order here are my top 10 lessons learnt:

1. Health is precious. Don't wait for a pandemic before you exercise & eat right.

2. Family & relationships need to be nurtured, lest you find yourself WFH with a total stranger.

3. Count your blessings especially the gift of life. Who knew flu from nowhere would ravage the entire world.

4. Don't procrastinate. Do what you have to do today because you really don't know about tomorrow.

5. Cultivate several sets of skills in case one door closes, you can rely on something else.

6. Save & spend money wisely

7. Mental health & self-care isn't a nice to have, its a priority

8. Change is the only constant

9. It's okay to slow down.

10. You're more resilient and adaptable than you think.

That said, everything happens for a reason & a season. What were some of the greatest lessons that you learnt?

Love & appreciation,
