9 To Thrive

I was lucky enough to attend the 9 to Thrive by Business Chicks expo this weekend and I am so glad I did. If you haven't heard of Business Chicks, you should check them out here.

They had a great range of stalls set up including Benefit, Lorna Jane, Bockers and Pony, Toyota, Pressed Juices and I finally got my hands on one of the donuts from Grumpy Donuts! I had the Buttered Toast flavour which has a brown butter frosting with a toasted brioche crumb. AMAZING!

The highlight of the day for me was Dr Libby. I have never heard of her before this event but she was doing a talk about having too many tabs open in your life and how to keep your energy levels up. I am constantly running around and barely stop so this was something I didn't want to miss. From the get go I was absolutely hooked. She spoke a lot around how eating whole food will not only energise you but will have a larger positive impact on your mental health as well. She also spoke about how you can start to understand the messages your body is sending you and the impact ignoring these signs can have on every aspect of your life. I know this is common knowledge but the way she explained the whole process was really interesting.

I bought some of her books and I am going to really start focusing on looking after myself more because I am constantly tired and worn down which isn't healthy - I feel like this was a bit of a wake up call to make myself a priority.

Just on a final note, Not a lot of you know this but I'm extremely career focused and like to keep my professional life completely separated from social media. It will be incredibly rare for me to ever post about my career on here but I thought it would be worth mentioning that after 3 years I have just finished up at my previous job and start at my new workplace tomorrow. I am incredibly nervous, excited and terrified out about this move but this is such a great opportunity for me and I am so proud of myself!

It feels good to be motivated and excited about where my life is heading.
