Screw Being Unhappy

As the year winds down, how can you intentionally show up as your best self for December and early January? In this episode, I share with you three powerful steps I personally take to wrap up your year with purpose and energy: 1️⃣ Setting intentions for how you want to spend the final weeks of the year, making sure you dont throw your hardly won good habits out of the window 2️⃣ Reflecting on the highs, lows, and lessons of the past year to gain insight and celebrate your progress 3️⃣ Planning what's ahead for you in 2025 so you step into January with clarity, focus, and excitement for what’s to come. Whether you want to end the year feeling calm and fulfilled or kickstart the new one with clear goals, this episode offers simple yet effective strategies to guide you through this transition period. Grab your journal, find a quiet spot, and let’s finish the year strong—together! What You'll Learn in This Episode: - Why setting an intention for the holiday season can positively impact your mindset and energy - How reflecting on the past year helps you move forward in the best possible way - Practical tips for planning your goals and priorities for the new year Resources Mentioned: Learn more about the 5 steps of planning: https://zuzanamukumayi.com/podcast-episode/overcome-overwhelm-boost-productivity/ [https://zuzanamukumayi.com/podcast-episode/overcome-overwhelm-boost-productivity/] Connect with me on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/zuzanamukumayi/] so you grab free coaching spots when they're available.

How online tools can help to improve productivity and habits? How do we get started without being overwhelmed? What is great about Notion? In this conversation, I’m joined by Kryštof Ekl, productivity coach and Notion Consultant and we explore in which way tools can be helpful and how to use them most efficiently. Kryštof kicks off the conversation with a systemic view on our productivity looking at the framework, duties and tools. He highlights the role of the tools: helping us to make the steps we need to take to achieve our goals obvious and the tasks we need to do easy.  We continue the conversation with a discussion about how to take the first steps when exploring a new tool and delve deeper into the role of experimenting on our own, using online tutorials or existing templates. The key to use our time efficiently with the tools is to be clear on what we want to achieve and we chat about the difference between learning how to use the tools on our own or using experts and mentors. Kryštof shares concrete examples and tips when online tools and Notion can help with building new habits (as well being clear about when no online tool will help you!) and we dig deeper into necessary components for behaviour change and the importance of the behaviour prompts.  If you’re ready to improve your productivity and make your life easier, get ready for some real-life tips when it comes to using online tools and specific examples how tools can support you.

What if you could create your own puzzle instead of trying to fit into an existing one? In today's episode, we chat with Yitian Cheng about her journey toward discovering her true self. Yitian shares how she resisted living by a script yet initially became the office woman she never wanted to be. Leaving her corporate career behind, she now experiments with what it means to be her authentic self in various aspects of life, including her career, spirituality, and physical well-being. We chat about the importance of curiosity in self-discovery, acknowledging that it's a long and continuous journey. Yitian shares personal experiences of discovering her true self, particularly regarding food and body image, and discusses how we often attach emotions to the food we eat. We also explore how nature provides inspiration and analogies for personal growth, discussing the positive and negative influences of our cultural origins. Yitian offers practical advice on mindfulness and staying calm to clear the "muddy water" of life, helping you uncover your true self. Feeling stuck or unsure about your real self? Ready to keep discovering your true self? Yitian’s insights on mindfulness and calmness can help you to start this journey and find clarity.
