It's not about what you do once every now and then: It's about what you do on a daily basis thats going to make the most change, give you the most success and make you the most happy. Consistency over perfection every single day. Is what you are doing on a daily basis line up with where you want to be? Take a look and work out a new plan going forward, it does not have to be extreme. Small steps win the race. There is no better feeling than being focused and clear on your goals and where you are heading. No matter what you want to achieve in life; whether that be a personal or professional goal, the key is to remain consistent. You may have heard âconsistency is keyâ but this couldnât be more true. I realised how important consistency was when I wrote down my goals and the action steps I needed to take for all of them was to be CONSISTENT in that action.Journal prompts on creating consistent habits:1. What does consistency mean for me?2. In what areas of my life could really benefit from me being consistent?3. How would my life change if I could be consistent?4. How important is being consistent to me?Follow me and connect on instagram: @eviecoaching Speak soon xx

Feminine vs masculine energy⌠In todays society, a lot of women are acting too much out of their masculine energy and leaning too little into their feminine energy. I come across a lot of women who have a wounded feminine energy and it is important this is healed. I have provided affirmations you can write down and repeat to yourself daily in the mirror. I have also made journal prompts on releasing control and letting go. Dm me if youâd like them! đLeaning more into trust and surrender is a topic I work on with my 1:1 clients..

I donât believe in New Yearâs resolutions. I believe in continuous self improvement through out the year. You donât need one time in the year to recreate yourself and set yourself unrealistic goals that youâll feel bad about once you havenât achieved. Start smaller, start with a list of things youâre bringing into the new year, and a list of things you will leave behind. Do this if you WANT to. Donât feel pressured by anyone to feel like you need to change if youâre already happy. Here are some of the things Iâm bringing into 2023, hopefully Iâve inspired you in some ways to do more of what feels good for you :)Happy new year! Evie xx
This year has been extremely hard for me. Loss is something I find really challenging and itâs something I find hard to process and deal with. It makes me emotional making this. Thereâs been lots of ups in 2022 but also many downs. If you suffered loss their year, you are allowed to grieve in your own way. If you need time out, thatâs okay. It comes to you randomly in waves, I can relate. Iâm still struggling with this and feeling lonely at times but being real on here is something I always want to do. Life isnât unicorns and rainbows, itâs hard as fuck at times and very testing. I remind myself a lot: âI can do hard thingsâ and it gets me through.
Have you ever sat down with your journal and wrote down a list of the things that bring you joy and a list of things that zap your energy? No? Ok well letâs do it together today đđ¤ This task allowed me to gain clarity on what lights me up and what brings me down. Having a simple list like this to refer back to when overwhelmed or stuck can be a great nudge in the right direction!

Trust me when I say it is so so so possible for your life to turn around.  I was living a life where my deep inner purpose was not being met and for years I felt so unaligned, lost, confused, upset and the list goes on. I decided enough was enough and I actually needed to take action and do something radical.  I did something Iâd never done before and radically worked on my personal relationship and those around me.  I put me first and took the jump of starting my own business.  Ive come out on the other side of this and Iâve never felt more energetically aligned. I now work full time as a mindset coach helping other women live their TRUE PURPOSE and feel fucking amazing about it. - TOP TIP: doing things before I felt ready has catapulted my personal and business growth. My mind always catches up with the action I take. Even it is is scary at the time. As humans, our minds are always trying to keep us SAFE. But itâs okay to tell yourself that âthanks for trying to protect me, but got this oneâ  Journal prompts: What do I desire? Where in my life have I been holding back from taking action in pursuit of what I desire? Where am I playing safe in my life? How can I expand myself and do things I felt fear around in the past? How can I catapult myself into my goals and success?â¨â¨Book in for my one off 60 minute coaching session in my Instagram bio @eviecoaching, or fill out the application for my 3 month 1:1 in the same place!

1.  WHAT DO YOU LOVE DOING? 2.  What is your purpose here on earth?

It took me 6 years to get to this place now where I have found a career that lights me up and makes me so happy. This can be you too đ¤ I believe in you.
Repeat these to yourself 3x per day and watch your life flourish into gratitude, love and appreciation for the present moment and for all that is to come. You are worthy. You are loved. Letâs talk on insta drop me a message: @eviecoaching loveeee you x

Hi guys!! When we are in a rushed mentality, we often invite the things we hadnât planned into our life. But when we are intentional with our thoughts and actions: our life can reflect that ease and flowing back to us. The more in control and safe we feel with our inner reality the more safe our outer reality feels. Breathing brings us back to the present moment and gets us out of our heads. Try these methods the next time youâre nervous or have a big event. But more importantly, incorporate them into your every day life đ¤
Breathing methods: 1. Box breathing method 2. Belly breathing 3. 4-7-8 breathing method

Letâs talk about perception vs reality!
Sometimes people respond more to their perception of reality rather than reality ITSELF.
How we see things isnât always how they are e.g getting the wrong end of the stick. We often assume the worst. We have expectations. And if our expectations arenât met we become disappointed. Some people take their feelings and reflect this as their current reality. But this isnât always the case⌠what we need to instead is ESTABLISH THE FACTS in our lives. What is true?
To get out of that victim mentality we need to ask questions inwardly and focus on what we DO want, rather than what we donât want. As humans we often focus too much on things we donât want, which will only bring us more of that. Rather than focusing on what we DO want, which will naturally pave the way for that to come into our lives. đ
We expect our past to write our future but this isnât always the case. We can re-write that. We have the choice to change our thoughts, behaviour and standards every single day. Thatâs something we can control. We donât have to repeat the same patterns and cycles. Sending love and light đâď¸ Before I go⌠please leave me a review and click follow on my podcast.

Hi guys! Today I talk about how to be alone. I speak about my experiences of my solo travels and my independency as well as tips and tricks to explore the world of solitude. When youâre alone you can go within and get introspective without the impression of people, places and circumstances of the world around you. It gives you time to think for yourself. You learn what you actually want to do when you ask yourself the questions. Itâs important for us not to rely on others and be co-dependent whether that be in a relationship or with people in general.
I discuss:
- How to not be scared of doing things alone
- My solo travels
- Getting comfortable being uncomfortable
- Feeling the fear and doing it anyway
- 1st podcast mentioned: Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett with Jay shetty
- Why solitude is important when making decisions
- Forbes article & psychology benefits article on being alone
- 2nd podcast mentioned: Sinead Says
I hope you enjoy it! Please leave me a review and post this ep on your story tagging me.
Thanks so much :)

In episode 30, we discuss the fact that YOU ARE ENOUGH. You always have been and you always will be. Stop doubting yourself and your capabilities. Youâre out here doubting yourself whilst people are out there scared of your potential. To those who have brought you down in your life: People who are hurt, hurt people. Those dealing with their unresolved trauma, unknowingly project this in terms of negativity and discouragement to those they come in contact with especially those closest to them. Knowing this, allows you to move on and let go. Knowing it was never about you gives you your power back. When you know yourself and back yourself, nothing anyone ever says or does to you can hurt you as you know who you are. You know youâre a good person. You know your value. You know your worth. Whatâs included in this episode:+ replacing limiting beliefs with positive affirmations + realising youâre a unique person with special skills to offer yourself and others + stepping into your power Insta: Instagram.com/bestversionpodcast / @bestversionpodcast Tik tok: www.tiktok.com/@bestversionpodcast / @bestversionpodcast Email: epenfoldsmith@gmail.com

In episode 28 I discuss 10 things I wish I could tell my younger self. 24 year old me to 16 year old me. I open myself up on this episode and get to the nitty and gritty.

Episode 27 is all about reminding you that everything happens for a reason and that nothing is by chance. When I look back in my life I realise that every single thing that happened in my life, no matter how minuscule or colossal, had to happen in order to get me to where I am today. And if it didnât, life wouldnât be the same. It all mattered. Hindsight makes me realise that all the pain and all the happiness was for a reason, to take me to a higher level. It all taught me something. âWe grow through what we grow throughâ - sometimes the most painful and unpleasant situations teach us the most and make us appreciate the good times. This puts everything into perspective and takes our one dimensional view away of what life should be like. I donât always get what I want, but I always get what I need. I hope you enjoy this one I loved recording.
In this episode:
-
Every single event in your life had to happen to get you to where you are today
-
Be grateful for every little event as itâs shaped you to who you are today
-
In life, there isnât mistakes = just lessons. You learn something from every encounter and every experience, whether you realise it sooner or later

In episode 25, we are talking all about making the most of every moment we are blessed with on this earth. LIFE IS SHORT. Although this may be an obvious statement to you, we often get so down about our day to day life that it becomes ordinary, we need to see the magic in every day. We need to appreciate life for how amazing it is. We only have one life on this earth. Grab every opportunity. Seize every moment. Make this life a weird and wonderful adventure! And most of all, make it yours. You want to look back when youâre old and say âI had no regrets, i lived my life the fullest and I did everything I wanted to do.â We will never be this young again. Knock on doors for the opportunities, because theyâre out there. Itâs all at our fingertips. In this episode:
-
Remind yourself every day that life is short
-
Nothing is guaranteed, live immediately
-
Life is made of choices and you can take any direction you wish. Take the path of passion and fulfilment.

In episode 24, we are talking all about acting as the person you want to become. You will soon EMBODY this image and it will become a natural part of who you are. Some call it âfake it until you make itâ and this is true! If you want to be confident, act like you already are; walk into a room with your head up and your shoulders back, take up space! Even if you donât believe it straight away, it will soon become apart of your reality as your actions subconsciously manifest into your reality. Your mind has been programmed from childhood and now itâs your job to rewrite old beliefs into new ones, change the narrative and the pathways in your brain by using positive affirmations. âI love myself, I now choose to trust myself and treat myself with respect, I am worthy, I approve of myselfâ

You still have so much more time and you are so incredibly lucky. Every day is a gift to experience. This is the reason why you should keep going, why you should not give up. These are the things that can remind you of how beautiful life is. Think back on the past year of all the incredible oceans youâve seen, the mountains, the new people who have had an impact on your life. If you just take a step outside youâll see all the beauty that surrounds you. And it is always there even if on some days you have to look a bit harder.

In episode 22, we are talking all about being consistent. Your daily practices and habits can add up to something amazing if youâre mindful about what you put your time and energy into. Get really clear about what you want and work out the action you need to take to get you there. Split this up into sizeable chunks and start TODAY. There is no better feeling than being focused and clear on your goals and where you are heading. No matter what you want to achieve in life; whether that be a personal or professional goal, the key is to remain consistent. You may have heard âconsistency is keyâ đ But this couldnât be more true. I realised how important consistency was when I wrote down my goals and the action steps I needed to take for all of them was to be CONSISTENT in that action. Youâve got this đ

You need more trust in yourself and you need to speak to yourself as you would your best friend. âIf your compassion does not include yourself, it is incompleteâ - Jack Kornfield. Itâs all well and good being an absolutely fantastic giver and supporter, but if at the end of this youâre left feeling nothing for yourself then whatâs the point of it all. You need to keep some power for you to uplift inspire and support yourself, like you would your friend or family member.

When you know your value and your worth. You never settle for something less than what aligns with you and your purpose. You give yourself credit for how well you are doing and how much you have accomplished. Self love is improving every day but being proud of how far you come. It is not over compensating to show your worth, it is about taking up space because you know you belong and you have confidence in who you are
You are a unique, beautiful human being. All of your skills, life experiences and dreams are unique to you. You are special in so many ways. Never compare yourself to what you see online. Social media is a highlight reel of all the good in people lives. Donât let it trick you into thinking your life is ordinary. âThe only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterdayâ Donât rush the process of life, you are not in competition with anyone else, your only competition is yourself. Everyone is on a different timeline. Things will happen when they are meant to happen. Just keep being you!
âWe rise by lifting othersâ the more you give in life, the more you will receive.

Find out how your good feelings about life can help someone out of a dark place. You have so much power to help many of those around you. Use it â¤ď¸
Give more thought and energy to those good feelings. When you focus on the good, the good gets better. It intensifies.

âThe art of life is to live in the present moment.â All we ever have is the here and now. Tell me the last time that you lived a moment which wasnât right now? The more you anchor yourself into this very moment, the more inner peace you will receive. The more you focus on the here and now, feelings of gratitude, joy and happiness will appear more in your life. This will in turn allow you to make clearer decisions, have better relationships and also finding deep peace within yourself
âDonât adapt to the energy in the room. Influence the energy in the room.â Become self aware of how you are feeling at certain points of the day. Always keep your frequency and energy high, so you enable others on this energy to come into your life. Be the light in others darkness. Pave the way to a happier future for yourself and those around you.
This will change your life. Be aware of your self improvement, progression and love. Get a notepad and write in it every day, getting your thoughts down leaves space and clarity in your mind.
Gratitude for me is one of the most impactful and profound emotions a human being can feel. It can transform anything into a state of love and appreciation. Feeling grateful for the things you have in your life now will leave you feeling whole, content and most importantly lucky. Count your blessings every single day and re read them to acknowledge how much of a blessing your life really is.
Be aware of the words you use towards others and the way you speak to yourself. Ultimately this shapes your life. Talk about things you love. Tell your friends what you love about them, talk about the things you love in life. Be aware of your word and how you use it, it will be one of the best tools.
Trust the process and the timing of your life. Know that everything is aligning the way it is meant to be. Flow with time rather than against it.
âWhen there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do you no harmâ - African proverb. When you learn to control and direct your mind, you can get it to work FOR you rather than against you.
Once you start to realise that nothing anyone ever says / does to you is nothing about you - the sooner you stop being the victim of needless suffering.
Radiate confidence and make this apart of who you are - it will literally change your life. Become aware of the value you hold and start doing things that make you feel good đ
How to love yourself enough to want more, do more and be more. Release your full potential and know you can get to where you want to be.
