Ok, welcome back! We've talked about what personal leadership is and how it can change your life. Now, let's get practical. As busy mums, I know your time is precious, so here are five simple tips to strengthen your personal leadership:

  1. Start Your Day with Intention: Before the morning chaos begins, take 5 minutes for yourself. It could be meditation, journaling, or simply enjoying your cup of tea in peace. Use this time to set your intentions for the day. I'll let you in on a secret - I used to be a "snooze button addict." Now, I wake up 30 minutes before my family to have my "me time." It's been life-changing!
  2. Practice Self-awareness: Pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and reactions throughout the day. What triggers stress? What brings you joy? This awareness is the first step to making positive changes. I once realised I was snapping at my kids every evening - turns out, I was feeling unfulfilled in life! Starting my business has been an absolute game changer for me.
  3. Set Boundaries: It's okay to say no! Prioritise what's truly important and learn to politely decline the rest. Remember, every yes to something is a no to something else. I struggled with this until I realised I was stretching myself too thin. Now, I limit myself to how many volunteer activities I will do, and it's made a world of difference.
  4. Embrace Continuous Learning: Personal growth doesn't require hours of study. Listen to podcasts during your commute, read a few pages of a book before bed, or watch an inspiring TED talk while folding laundry. 
  5. Celebrate Small Wins: Don't wait for big achievements to pat yourself on the back. Acknowledge the small victories - like getting everyone out the door on time or having a meaningful conversation with your child these little moments will give you a much-needed boost.

Remember, personal leadership is a journey, not a destination. It's about progress, not perfection. Some days will be easier than others, and that's okay. The key is to keep showing up for yourself.

As you implement these tips, you'll start to feel more in control, more confident, and more aligned with the life you want to live. You're not just managing your life; you're leading it.
