Dear friends,
 
You know me by now, I plan A LOT.
 
But I haven’t planned for my 50th weekly newsletter 🎉 to be issued twenty-four hours after announcing my first goal-setting workshop in last night’s email. That announcement was such a major milestone in my life. I am so excited that I will be sharing private space with you where I can teach you all what I have learned and tried myself about planning AND achieving goals.
 
If you missed the email for some reason, below are the details and the big hot pink link to subscribe and pay. 
 
If you have any questions about the workshop please reply to this email and ask. I’d love to have you in there.

Yesterday was the natural end to a great week of commitment to my habits. For the first time since school started, I managed to do all the steps of my morning routine and leave the house before 7 am to arrive at work no later than 8 am from Monday to Thursday. This happened because of 2 simple changes:
 
  1. Committing to my evening ritual, especially picking my outfit.
  2. Listening to my own advice and having zero screen-time in the morning except to say good morning to #sunrisewinners, take my office picture and listen to my guided meditation. I discovered that posting that motivating “good Morning” story on social media took me a minimum of 7 minutes. Replacing journaling or reading time. Now I just take the picture and post it later.
 
I have a lot of work to do in the coming days to ensure you have the best experience with me in the workshop. I will be counting on your support to share this workshop with your friends who are interested to live purposefully like you. 
 
Just forward this email or yesterday’s email to them.
 

Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark ⚡️ a newsletter listing 5 inspiring things I thought were worth starting your week with: 
  1. Why procrastination is about managing emotions, not time. Always ask, what's the next action? thinking in projects keep us stuck, while thinking in actions makes us feel we can get things done.
  2. Use the ‘Circle of Concern’ to Reframe Your Fears in Uncertain Times. It reminded me of this video I made.
  3. You love it when I send you quizzes! Here is one that is based on the book Emotional Agility by Susan David. It gives you personalized feedback on how to be more effective with your thoughts and emotions.
  4. Every Thursday, my friend Abd Hato releases a bedtime story for kids in ARABIC! Have your kids listen to بودكاست قصة ما قبل النوم .
  5. Why goal-setting? here is one reason:
"Setting goals makes it possible to do something today to create the future you want. If you don’t plan your time, someone else will help you waste it"
― Zig Ziglar, Born to Win
