Hi friends!

What are you looking forward to this week? 

Last week was a super one that I started writing my wins of the week in my Full Focus Planner right after they happened.

A major win was that I spent 3 evenings last week with no social media up until I was done with my evening routine after kids’ bedtime, which made me feel satisfied of the attention I gave to my family. This also made checking social media more rewarding.

I recently committed to #tweet100 initiative by Jay Clause which entails posting daily on Twitter for 100 days. This challenge is the external accountability I needed to re-commit to show up and write daily here on my blog, afterward I share my posts in tweets. This helped me write 6 posts last week.

I noticed I have not been reading parenting books like I used to, so my friends and I created a mini book club and chose one to read this month, which we plan to discuss in 2 Zoom sessions. This made reading parenting books more exciting for me.

I have been spending more money than I should on Kindle books, therefore I created a rule where I had to send my friend before any purchase, providing her with the name of the book and its price. This is a friction point that made the spending habit more difficult for me.

See a pattern here?

That’s what you need to do too to move your goals forward, accountability, join a tribe that has the same purpose as yours, or even better, lead the way and create one.

For the first time in my content, I will talk about money and how our limiting beliefs are affecting our relationship with it. We either hate it or don’t understand it or too clingy when it comes to our money, and it’s time to shake up those beliefs. 

Join me and my guest Christeen Haddadin, a super money coach with 20 years experience in financial services and founder of Maluki in an Instagram LIVE at 9 PM Amman today to discuss our relationship with money which will help us setmoney goals and habits that are right for us.

See you tonight!
