How we view ourselves with regards to our identity is rooted in the standards we place and the standards we see society place on that identity. Sometimes we want to identify as something, but cannot see how we can fit into society's mold for that identity.
Challenge those standards! Challenge your views!
For this week's mindset challenge, make a list of all the things you identify as - mother, father, chef, artist, florist, comedian, etc. On a separate sheet, write all the identities you wish you had. Think of why you couldn't become them and how you can change that narrative. Challenge the standards that make the identity what it is! Challenge your mindset!

Our thoughts are constantly running as we take in our surroundings, but have you ever stopped to question your thoughts? Are they building you up or breaking you down? Do they encourage you to become the best possible version of yourself or do they keep placing roadblocks in your path to greatness?
Ask yourself these questions and contemplate their answers.
This week's mindset challenge is focused on self-awareness. For the next week, monitor your thoughts and write as many as you can down. At the end of the week, go through these thoughts and turn the statements into questions. Recognize the answers your brain comes up with. Question your responses. Challenge the way you think. Challenge your mindset.

Ask yourself : Who is my best friend? We always pin the answer on someone other than ourself, most likely someone you've known for a long time. To challenge that, ask yourself - who is the one person I have known the longest? The answer to that question is you. You are the one person you have lived with and will live with for your entire life. Challenge yourself to grow in love with who you are. This week's mindset challenge will stretch to a month. Do something that is focused on you. 1 thing everyday for the next month that is solely for you. For example: you could write 1 thing you love about yourself everyday or do 20 sit-ups a day. YOU are the best project you will ever work on.

We all have the same number of hours in a day, so how come it feels like we don't have enough.
In this week's episode, we dive into the Eisenhower Matrix where we learn a new way to manage and reassess our time and tasks. It's not that you don't have time, but rather the item at hand is not a priority.
This week's mindset challenge is to be more aware of your thoughts and language. Instead of saying or thinking, "I don't have time to do XYZ," replace it with, "XYZ are currently not a priority."
Follow Nora on Instagram @nora_unplugged where you can find an image of the Eisenhower Matrix.

Everybody has fears, including the most accomplished and confident person you know. You don't have to be fearless, you just have to fear less than everybody else. Allow your passion and excitement to guide you toward your goals.
This week's challenge: take the first step to accomplishing your personal goal. If you want to start a business, don't think of the business itself, but rather focus on the process. Watch some videos or read a book to educate yourself. Break down the process into steps and start with step 1.
I believe in you! Do you?
