If the plan doesn't work, change the plan not the goal. This resonated with me sooooo much Lydia!!! I also recently didn't get the news I was expecting with regards to my career, but what made it bearable was that I was surrounded by loved ones that reminded me that we keep going, we keep pushing-and it's not a failure but a lesson/means to build me for more success in the future! So I wish you all the success in the future and we'll all be sitting right in the front in the vip section to cheer you on when it happens💓
The chapter on 17:38 self-sabotaging tendencies really resonated with me! The phrase, "Your life reflects your actions, not just your intentions," struck a chord. I valued your insights on being mindful of our words and ensuring they match our actions. Your skincare routine might seem like a minor detail, yet it perfectly exemplifies this concept. You're an influential figure to me, someone I deeply admire. Your ability to balance a loving family, strong friendships, a dedicated husband, and maintain stylish homes, all while facing life's hurdles, is truly inspiring. It highlighted to me that my own slip-ups often stem from a mismatch between my intentions and actions, especially when I'm striving to achieve my goals.
Rachel this is such a lovely comment! Thanks so much for taking time to share this with me. I’m so glad that you find value in my content, and I pray for your hearts desires to be fulfilled according to God’s will!
Lydia, thank you for that nugget..."Change the plan (strategy), not the goal"! Rhema word. Happy & Blessed New Year 2024! Gotta try your recipes. All that FLAVOR!
It's so ironic that I was just having a conversation about mindsets and overcoming the constant flip from negative to positive as each day progresses. What I've learnt is that things will always happen for your own benefit, so there is no point holding onto worry. The mind also requires training, much like a toddler, so repetition is key. The moment I feel a build of worry/anxiety/increased stimulation/etc I take a breath and remind myself that by worrying, I'll rob myself of what's happening in the moment. It usually subsides, and I carry on with my day. It takes practice, but in essence, it's the stimulation of self-confidence and trust in God. All happens in your favour.
Love this Lydia, let me been consistent this year with watching your vlog. Because just from watching you cook you meals, I am inspired to eat healthy 😊. Here is to 2024 being our best year 🎉🎉
The videos just started and you're making me make mental notes of what needs to be put in order in my house 😪😪 looool i havent seen cassava in time omg!! Need to get on my meal prep game. I love Toni Brianne, Angwi, Aliyahs face, molly mae, Dorothy Dinga (Tell her come back 😢) and obviously your channel 😎 and Uche Natori whenever she posts on here 😂😂 What was the sauce you put in the wraps?? Loved the vlog as always!! ❤❤❤
Great video as usual! I'm loving the Swahili lessons! My family call me Sasa as a nickname so every time you say "Sasa babe", it feels like you're talking directly to me 😂😂
I love the reframe of being 'sidetracked' and not down and out. This year it's all about the reframe to keep those cortisol levels low. Oh and Ishmet did that bomb kitchen counter top of course. Welcome back babes!
Hey darlinnnn! HNY and welcome back! Yeah, I'm jumping on my health goals start of Feb as I have so many catch-ups still to do with people I've not seen in a minute that it doesn't make sense starting Jan. Alcohol still flowing maaaaannn!!! 😂😂 I've started back working out though. My body first week was like wtf!!!!! Don't worry about 'The Thing That Didn't Work Out'. Life life-ing. There'll be other opportunities. You won't even remember this ❤❤
I love love love your vlogs. Your positive energy just excites me and makes me want to do better! I’m looking to organize my goals as well, where can I find the 12 week planner please? ❤
Poa sana Babe, I have resonated with your Vlog today. I equally didn't get the response I was hoping for in regards to a job application I had made but after a couple of days of self sabotage, I reminded myself that there are many other ways of achieving what I wanted. Got up, dusted myself and went in search of a new opportunity.
Happy New Year Lydia! Watching you meal prep and wanted to share a quick tip! Next time you bag up the chicken, pick it up out the bowl using the bag, horrible analogy but...like dog owners picking up poop. Should be a cleaner experience haha
I was supposed to be meal prepping but sat on the sofa chilling and gave up. Saw your video at 20:21 I felt called out. Got up going to meal prep now 😂
Sis, is everything okay? Since the marital bliss and incredible wedding series, it seems like the majority of your vlog content has gained quite a negative tone, even from the titles alone, and there's been loads of hardships. Just checking in gal. With love! ❤
Hey Sis, Thanks for your concern, I'm curious, have you had the chance to watch all the videos in full? I’m all about sharing the real and raw moments of life, the ups, the downs, and everything in between. On this channel, I’ve always embraced the imperfections and learning from each season. As for the hardships, I don’t know what to say gal, there really have been loads of them. Should I pretend otherwise?
