You’ve built the career.
You’re capable, driven, and responsible.
And yet… life still feels heavier than it should.

You don’t need a perfect day.

You need three small wins.

Success isn’t built in big moments alone.

It’s built in the small, repeatable actions that quietly compound over time.

These 3 wins transform everything:

💪🏽 A Physical Win:
↳ Book walking meetings for 1:1 calls
↳ 60 seconds of jumping jacks before big meetings
↳ Match your coffee breaks with movement

🧠 An Intellectual Win:
↳ Delete one app that drains your attention
↳ Teach a friend or child something you just learned
↳ Create a "done list" instead of a to-do list

✨ A Spiritual Win:
↳ Send an unexpected voice note of appreciation
↳ Create space for 3 minutes of complete silence
↳ Leave an encouraging note on someone's desk

When you actively seek these wins, you'll spot them everywhere.

One win leads to another.
Success starts attracting success.

This is how progress becomes sustainable, and success stops feeling so heavy.

Which win will spark your positive spiral today?

Why some names come up first in important rooms.

(Hint: It’s not luck)

It usually has nothing to do with being the best in the room.

Names come up first because someone feels confident attaching their credibility to you.

That confidence gets built in small moments people remember.

People notice 👀

↳ How you respond when things go sideways
↳ If your judgment makes situations clearer or messier
↳ If working with you feels steady or draining
↳ How you talk about others when stakes are high

If you want your name to come up more often, focus here ⬇️

↳ Make it easier to work with you, not harder
↳ Be clear instead of impressive
↳ Follow through consistently
↳ Protect other people’s credibility, not just your own

Because opportunities don’t go to effort alone.
They go to trust ✨

Which of these matters most where you work?

Your title doesn't make you a success. 

Being easy to work with does.

This isn't just a work skill. 
It's a life skill.

7 ways to be easy to work with (and live with) ✨

1) Listen before you speak 
↳ At work: "Help me understand your perspective" 
↳ At home: Put the phone down when someone's talking to you

2) Make others feel heard 
↳ At work: "So you're saying..." before responding 
↳ At home: "That sounds frustrating" before trying to fix

3) Share credit generously 
↳ At work: "Thanks to [name] for making this possible" 
↳ At home: "I couldn't do this without your support"

4) Stay calm when others can't 
↳ At work: Lower your voice when tensions rise 
↳ At home: Take a breath before reacting to difficult news

5) Admit when you don't know 
↳ At work: "I'll find out by end of day" 
↳ At home: "You know what? I was wrong about that"

6) Ask questions that help others think 
↳ At work: "What would success look like?" 
↳ At home: "What do you think would help?" instead of jumping to solutions

7) Remember what matters to them 
↳ At work: Ask about their weekend plans 
↳ At home: Remember the little things they mentioned

The most valuable skill isn't on your resume.
It's how people feel when they're with you ✨

Stop letting work invade every corner of your life.

12 boundaries that put you back in control 👇🏼

Every notification. 
Every "quick question" at 8pm. 
Every weekend email marked "urgent."

They're not just interruptions. 
They're invasions.

It starts as dedication. 

But slowly transforms into a life where you are perpetually exhausted but never quite "done."

It ends now.

💥 12 Scripts That Command Respect:

1) "I'm offline after 6pm, but I'll get back to you at 9am" 
↳ Don't justify or apologize. Simple statement, clear expectations.

2) "I've blocked focus time until 2pm, happy to connect right after" 
↳ Assume agreement rather than asking permission.

3) "This needs my full attention, let's set 30 min tomorrow" 
↳ Position boundaries as beneficial to work quality.

4) "I don't check email on weekends - text me only if it's urgent" 
↳ Create a specific emergency channel, keep it sacred.

5) "I have a hard stop at [time], what should we prioritize now?" 
↳ Frame it as prioritization, not avoidance.

6) "I'm stepping away for an hour and will check messages once I'm back" 
↳ Normalize breaks as part of professional behavior.

7) "That time's set aside for deep work, can we meet [day] instead?" 
↳ Empty calendar time isn't available time. Protect it.

8) "This might be better over email - happy to reply thoughtfully" 
↳ Reframe efficiency as a professional value.

9) "I'm at capacity through [day], which task should I pause to fit this in?" 
↳ Make trade-offs visible rather than absorbing more work.

10) "I don't take calls during my commute - it's reset time" 
↳ Position boundaries as performance enhancement, not selfishness.

11) "Tonight is family time - I can jump in tomorrow" 
↳ Name what you're protecting instead of apologizing.

12) "That's outside my bandwidth - [Name] might be able to help"  
↳ Redirect without guilt or over-explanation.

Your boundaries protect what matters most. 
Make them non-negotiable ✨

12 Boundaries That Protect Your Time

You’re not behind in life.

You’re right on time.

It may not feel that way.

Especially when it seems like everyone else has it “figured out.”

But here’s what’s usually true:

1: You’re more selective
↳ You don’t chase everything anymore.

2: You know what doesn’t work
↳ That clarity only comes from experience.

3: You move with more intention
↳ Fewer decisions. Better ones.

4: You value peace more than speed
↳ And that’s growth, not laziness.

5: You trust yourself more
↳ Even when things are still unfolding.

Try this today:

Instead of asking, “Why am I not there yet?”
Ask, “What do I know now that I didn’t before?”

You’re not late.
You’re becoming ✨

10 visuals to sharpen how you think 

(and improve how you work under pressure)

Not motivation.
Not hustle.

Clear thinking changes how you decide, communicate, and follow through - especially on busy days.

(All visuals by @joazolins on Instagram)

1️⃣ Your potential is bigger than you think
↳ Most people underestimate what consistency actually unlocks

2️⃣ People are influenced more by what you do than what you say
↳ Behavior builds trust faster than explanations

3️⃣ You’re trying to fit too much into limited space
↳ Overwhelm is often a signal to subtract, not push harder

4️⃣ Small kindness has outsized impact
↳ What feels minor to you can mean a lot to someone else

5️⃣ Working tired isn’t productive
↳ True rest first leads to better work after

6️⃣ Short-term action beats long-term waiting
↳ Progress comes from doing, not planning longer

7️⃣ Trying and failing is how progress actually works
↳ Avoiding failure keeps things exactly the same

8️⃣ If you can’t do big things, do small things well
↳ Care and attention compound over time

9️⃣ Perfection often hides procrastination
↳ Refining the trivial stuff delays what actually matters

🔟 Starting is the hardest part
↳ Overwhelm peaks early, then eases once you move

Clear thinking isn’t abstract.
It shows up in better choices, better work, and less friction.

So last post before signing off!

I'm not gonna lie, switching off, uninstalling IS HARD!!!

Reason?

CHANGE!!!!

We are creatures of habit, it's very difficult to break a pattern or habit

Especially when its something we love!

And I freaking love all of u!

Ranging from the wise ones like Kimberly Maurer  BS, LPN, Pearl mum, the new people with "blocking threats" like Suzy big sis hehe, to the ones whom I'm with everyday like Phyllis big sis, Ireland big sis, Rachelle mama, Sophie big sis!

And the list goes on!

To tell u all, I'm going to the White Sand Desert in the Rann of Kutch....a BEAUTIFUL PLACE!

And best part, with my mum!

So definitely it's difficult for me to NOT come online here...I'll miss u guys so so so much!!

But what's needed is needed

So today's one last post before I uninstall tomorrow 

And I'll be coming back on 23rd

Till that time,.love u and take care!

What are the trips you're planning in 2025?

#travelling

POLL NUMBER 2!!

So on Monday, the 19th, I'm off to a trip to The Rann Of Kutch, the white sand desert in my country !

And guess with whom, WITH MY MOM!

My first ever trip with her for 5 days, and gosh I'm so so excited!!!

Now a suggestion, should I continue posting here, or uninstall Linkedin altogether?

I mean...I'll miss u guys and at the same time, want to be completely with mum!

I'd love your suggestions!

#trip

What would u suggest me in regards of staying online or offline during the trip?

GIVING RELATIONSHIP A SECOND CHANGE

Poll time! 

And yes, the last "real help" poll before 19th, otherwise, my Suzy big sis will get me blocked for being online on a trip 😱😱❤️ (love u for that big sis hehe)

Anyways....so I was speaking to my ex date today, we had a long conversation....and she said one thing

"We all deserve a second chance, I made a mistake, I'm ready to amend it....together"

Emphasis on the last word.

To put into context, she's the one who had cheated on me for another stranger...and it seems that didn't work out that well for her

Now...I am confused

1. One side says I want to not take a chance, once a cheat is always a cheat 

2. Other side wants to forgive and become a friend...but not jump into dating.

And ..yeah this is what is going on right now

And tomorrow, I'll be meeting her in college 😱

So guys, help your boy out pls 🙏🙏🙏.

Should I give that relationship a second chance?

I gotta thank Rachael mum for today's post.

It took me back to a past experience of mine, with a few people, even someone here on this platform (the same..."you're draining" person)

When I mentioned about the emotional abuse and trauma with dad, I was actually asked a couple of things

1. Why aren't u medicating yourself ?
2. Your trauma is gonna make u diseased, where is your list of medicines?

And I was APPALLED, and I actually had some tears in my eyes 🥺🥺

Why u ask? This is a simple question right?

Not exactly...because

Why do we take medicine? Especially when its related to our mind... definitely there's a thing of being "diseased"... 

Not in the general sense..but if u read the 2nd question, the thing of "diseased" comes more upfront.

No I'm not pitying myself...it's not to spread weakness.

It's to make one thing clear

TRAUMA IS NOT DISEASE!!!!

It's an unpleasant experience, can be an aftermath to something very serious, but no it's definitely NOT A DISEASE

Speaking to loved ones, self care practices WITHOUT adding a foreign chemical can DEFINITELY help!

So whenever u see trauma and disease coming as one thing...

SPEAK UP!  Look at the way people like Kimberly Maurer  BS, LPN , Rachael mum, Alice big sis, Cheryl mama speak up, they don't wanna bring comfort, they wanna bring A REVOLUTION!

And I don't stand up to these queens, not even the slightest, but I can just do my bit, to speak what I feel is the truth!

So again, never hesitate to use your voice, IT MATTERS!

How do u view trauma as? Do u think trauma is a disease?
