Motherhood is the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It's huge and scary - it's an act of infinite optimism

Happy mother's day to all! ♥

A lot of the moves I’ve made in business have been based on intuition. There have been moments when I could have easily said “I’m not going to do this because logic is saying no,” but my intuition said, “GO FOR IT!” It has never proved me wrong.

Sometimes do what you can and surrender to the results. No point worrying.

That said, intuition is a skill to hone. It is difficult to determine when to trust it and whether that is intuition or not. I was recently in a situation where my intuition was saying one thing and my brain was saying another. Because of the nature of the situation and my own biases, I ignored my intuition. I later found out my intuition was right the whole time. But it was too late.

We are all intuitive. It’s just some of us have a little more practice using it than others. Meditation, prayer, and self-reflection can help you out here.

Your intuition matters. Don’t ignore it.

1. Treat yourself right

New Year’s is possibly the best time to build a new you — both inside and out. On top of the new clothes and hairstyle you can swap into, take small, actionable steps to make meaningful changes in your life.

2. Put family first

During the Lunar New Year, we see the family come together. it marks a great time to reconnect with family near and far, young and old, and let them know you’re thinking of them. Family is truly is priority number one but don't forget that even after the festive season.

3. Know when to take a break

Knowing when to step back and take a break is important not just for your mental health but also for work health. With good rest, productivity also goes. Think of our motivation as a portable battery pack. We need to be charged too.

One of the symbols of Chinese New Year is the hongbao, or red envelope, given to family and friends. But while it is a giving season, it’s easy to forget that gifts don’t need to be monetary or limited to your inner circle. Make an unexpected gesture to someone you love, or pay it forward by donating to those in need.

… and pay your debts

Keeping debt low is always wise. If you have extra income this season, clear off loans and favors from friends or family. It will release that stress on you in the long term.
