#004 - Shift!

#004 - Shift!

Dear Trailblazers,

As we wrap up 2023 and gear up for a fresh start in 2024, I'm thrilled to bring you the last newsletter series for the year, and this time, we're diving into a theme that's not just a concept but a powerful life-changer: "Shifting Focus for a Balanced and Purposeful Life!" In this series, we'll explore the transformative need for a dimension shift—encouraging each other to redirect our focus from what isn't working and adjust our lenses to see the path ahead more clearly.

Life doesn't come with a manual, but as we evolve, pick up habits, and learn every day, our mindsets must shift to accommodate the ever-evolving dynamics around us.

Recently, I found myself engaged in a profound 3 am conversation with a phenomenal colleague of mine, Evelyn Dan Epelle, FMNES , Public Affairs Manager at Baobab Consulting . Evelyn's insights have been a force in my professional journey in the last few months, and our dialogue that early morning affirmed the crucial need to compartmentalize our lives. As someone I've admired from afar, working closely with her for the past three months has been a paradigm-shifting experience, and I eagerly anticipate more of these transformative conversations.

Compartmentalizing: The Art of Balanced Living

I've always been an organizer, relying on routines and structures. But that morning's conversation hit differently. It made me understand that as we navigate the intricacies of life, it becomes vital to compartmentalize, allowing different aspects of who we are to fit seamlessly into our lives until it becomes a lifestyle. Particularly as women, our superpower lies in multitasking and striking a balance as multifaceted beings. A routinary life becomes a compass, ensuring we show up as our best selves at any given moment, with our energy levels intact to play any role.

Unlocking the Power of Compartmentalization

Compartmentalizing your life is the key to achieving balance. What works for me might not work for you, and that's perfectly okay. As we bid farewell to 2023 and engage in self-reflection, making resolutions for 2024, grant yourself the grace to shift your focus until you find the perfect rhythm to compartmentalize according to what works best for you. Life is a grand adventure with 24 hours in a day and 365 days to fulfill your purpose. The question is, what are you going to do about it?

Mental Note:

Own Your Time, Own Your Story

In the spirit of self-reflection, let's embark on this journey together as we explore stories, insights, and strategies to shift our focus, embrace change, and create a life that resonates with purpose and balance. I hope you find your rhythm and compartmentalize your life in a way that empowers you to be the fabulous, multifaceted individual you are. Your journey is uniquely yours, and remember, your time is your most valuable asset—own it, shape it, and craft a narrative that echoes with purpose.

Here's to a fabulous shift and an even more fabulous you!

Wishing you the best in the last days of 2023!

With zest and zeal,

Gloria.

The graceful Evelyn Dan Epelle and I at CSEA where she is currently a Communications Fellow.
