[Busy vs Effective] how to deal with overwhelm

The other day at my day job working with the International Jazz Festival organizer and chatted about what I do, suddenly I realized I was taking on way too many things:
1. 📸 Wedding photography & film company
2. 🤓 Life coach - studying & start up phrase
3. 🧖🏻‍♀️ Vegan skin care & wellness brand district manager - start up phrase
4. 🎶 Multiple roles at the Melbourne Recital Centre - 3-4 days a week
5. 💆🏻‍♀️ Access Consciousness facilitator
6. 🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga & pilate - 3 times a week
7. 💰 Investor into multiple passive income assets, managing portfolios
8. 🥰 Wife duty


I try to do too many things at the same time which became counter productive and I was in emotional state of overwhelm. I became paralyze and start running my procrastinate strategy.
I noticed I was overload when I started coaching 8-10 hours a week back in April 2019, on top of all my usual businesses, I also tried to study 2-3 hours a day...
My laundry piled up and house is a mess, I realize I was doing everything at 10% effort therefore getting 10% results on all areas.
I divide my energy into too many pieces and lost focus.
What you focus on is what you get.
I was focusing on “being busy”.
I tried to achieve everything and actually achieving nothing.

😩 My to do list piled up and stressing me out even more.
My photography blogging is 12 blogs behind, I simply have no time to publish them...
Photography Instagram post from twice a week to starting to fall to every 10 days...
I stop follow up on leads after the initial quote...
😫 I started designing my life coaching business card, website, online program promotion and drafting a business plan, and then stopped due to mentally overloaded.
I also stopped coaching pro bono clients for 2 months and only keep coaching paying clients.
😫 I promoted to District Manager with the vegan skincare network marketing company quickly and about to lose the title because I stopped working on it.
I constantly feel busy but I wasn’t doing anything productive.
😷 Until early June a strong flu hit me and I finally had a 10 days break to reassess my life plan.
My body shut down and forced me to reevaluate my goals.
😣 Playing “busy” certainly not working for me right now.
How can I turn this around?
I must ask myself some smart questions.
What do I want to achieve in the next 12 month and in 3 years?
What is important to me?
What is my core values?
What is Lowina 2.0 would be like?

💰 FINANCIAL FREEDOM + 🦄 EMOTIONAL FREEDOM!



Get out of the matrix (the 3D world), I can then travel the world and do things that I love! (Enter to the 5D world)
I can help others to live a full-filling and happy life, live their dreams and gain the power back, fully control and taking responsibility of their lives!

💰💰💰💰💰💰

Yes! I love money!
Money is a tool to achieve this goal.
Money is my business partner, they want me to use them wisely.
I forgot that I was pretty good with financial planning and manifesting wealth.
I forgot that I have spent weeks & months researching into Cryptocurrency investing back in 2015 and came up with a HODLer strategy which still serve me well today.
But I’m not going to settle with being a HODLer anymore.

I decided to join a financial mastermind group, invest into a new mentorship program, re-educate myself of the new crypto trends and market cycles.
I am not a HODLer anymore and now Becoming a value investor so I can best position myself in this coming cycle with a strong mindset, investment strategy & plans.
If my financial goal is to have minimum of 100k/year in passive income, let’s just cut the noise and crunch some numbers to achieve it!
It’s all a numbers game.
Once you have the answer of how much you need to become financially free, get a solid plan.
The more detailed this is the more likely you are to achieve your end results.
Money is made in the planning and research stages.

Today Bitcoin has reached almost 400% from the last all time low, from $4500 to $18,000 within 6 months.
Activating a new bull market probably thanks to the news of Facebook coin Libra, bring bitcoin back to the mainstream media.
Causing institutions massive FOMO and pump the market.
I have made quite a few videos back in 2017 about why I invested in BTC & other alt coins, I think many of my old friends already know that I’m a die hard crypto fan, there’s no other market that will give you 50,000% return in a short few years.

💳
Traditional investment like bonds, stocks, shares, property, banks, super 💵... we are talking about 5%, 25%, 50% maybe 100% return in 10-15 years and you are doing well.
In the crypto world, we are talking about 20-80% up/ down a day if you Day trade (not recommended). Or 2x here and 10x fold there in the matter of weeks.
Of course thousands of dead coins & scammers too.
🎅🧟‍♀️ There's good guys & bad guys in the world, depending on what you focusing on.

Are you focusing on the potential growth or the potential lost?

Yes there is always risk, do you think working for one company, one boss, one salary is risk free?
What if you get fired?
What if you injured yourself?
Massive risk if you working for only one 9-5 job if you ask me.
🤔 Come to think of it...
If you lose your job next week and no passive income streams, how long can you live off with your savings?
3 months? 6 months? 1 year?
Do you even have savings?
What if you have no savings but debts?
Homelessness is not that far off when the next GFC hits and companies closing down and people getting redundant.
Or AI / blockchain era comes and replacing traditional repetitive or systematic jobs like drivers, lawyers, accountants, sales clerks, cashiers, waitstaff, fast food workers, dishwashers, real estate agents, bankers, etc...
Can AI or blockchain / smart contract technology replace your industry?
🧐


Back to crypto...
What I lack of back then was an investment plan, that’s why I’m not a crypto millionaire yet. 🙈
I literally watched my first $300 coin rise to $30,000 and did nothing, and watched it went back down to $3,000 and still did nothing 😂
I hodl it like my gold, I was in for the long term, like 7 years long.
👴
Yeah millennial can't wait until age 65 to 'retired' with 5% gain on your superfunds, won't even catch up with the inflation.
👩‍🏫
With the right mindset, strategies and disciplines, really spend time to educate yourself and learn how to invest safely, minimizing risks, this could be a game changer.
Stop listening to speculators or side liners or pop-up “market experts” when the market is running up, do your own research, invest anything you can afford to lose (def not borrow money or sell your house).
Maybe test with $500, treat it as school fee, learn how to buy & sell & store & trade...
Doesn’t matter if you only have $100 spare money, $100 can turn into $1,000 or $0, you don’t have to buy one whole bitcoin.
I’m no financial advisor here and will not tell you to invest or not. I don’t know your financial situation and what level of a risk taker you are.
This is my journey to financial freedom path and I’m happy to share my insights in my life coaching programs.

[Emotional freedom]

this is gonna be my life long road to become enlightenment.
Constant healing, clearing karmas, releasing emotional baggages stored in my body, mind & spirit, meditation and learn how not to react to situations with irrational emotions, but to respond with calm & peace, learn how not to become a slave to my ego & emotions but to create my own life, stop living at effects and moving up to cause...
It’s not easy but def worth keep invest in myself in the personal development journey.
Hire a life coach, a mentor, emotional freedom programs, practice meditations... do whatever it takes to self care.
Love your body, clear your mind, listen to your spirit.
Be kind.
Don’t be a dick.
Eventually you will reach to the goal of emotional freedom when you committed to it!
Now it’s the time for you to stop and think about what kind of lifestyle that you want to live, come up with a plans and start implementing changes to achieve your desire outcomes.
If you do nothing, your 2025 will look like your 2019. Are you happy with your 2019?
If not, what are you going to do to change it for the better?
