Top 5 habits of High Value Women: Essential practices for living your best life

Hello, High Value Woman!

Welcome to this online community of inspiration, motivation and expansive thinking.

This week, we're diving into the world of High Value Women and the habits that set them apart. These are the women who live their best lives and we're here to share their secrets with you. 

Oh, there's something we should get straight first... EVERY woman is a high value woman. We each have inherent value. But not all of us are aware of the value we hold and deliver every day.

This (occasional) newsletter is aimed at reminding you of just how valuable you are!

So, settle in and prepare to be inspired as we begin with the top 5 habits of High Value Women, each complete with its own little challenge for you to take action.

1. Self care is paramount

High Value Women prioritise caring for themselves in the understanding that it's best to give the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet and time for rest. How do you prioritise self care in your daily routine? Share your tips with us and suggest any self care topics you'd like us to cover in the future.

Take action: Schedule at least one self care activity in your calendar EVERY day this week. It need not be huge (think a walk outside or 30 minutes to yourself). But it should be meaningful and enjoyable for you.

2. Embrace positivity

A positive mindset is a common trait among High Value Women. They are not naive, but they choose to see the good in people and situations and use challenges as opportunities for growth. This habit helps them maintain a steady focus on the good that surrounds them which, in turn, helps to attract even more of the good stuff.

Take action: Your mindset is influenced by what you consume. Limit exposure to negativity, gossip and doom-scrolling. Fill your world with books, podcasts, music and people who leave you feeling more hopeful, capable and inspired. (PS Have you listened to the Self Leadership Podcast yet? It's a weekly dose of inspiration for your ears!)

3. Continuous learning

High Value Women are lifelong learners. They are always seeking to expand their knowledge and skills, whether through reading, attending professional development, or taking online courses. This habit keeps them adaptable, interested (and interesting) and ahead of the curve. 

Take action: Find an online program or a book that interests you and block out the time to study or read this week.

4. They keep promises to themselves

High Value Women recognise that self trust is built through consistency. They don't wait until they feel motivated - they honour the commitments they've made to themselves, even when it's inconvenient. Every promise kept strengthens confidence and integrity.

Take action: Decide on one small action you could take every day this week to take you closer to the woman you want to become (examples: drink an extra glass of water; take a lunch break; commit 30 minutes to reading; create tomorrow's to do list tonight...) Then do that thing.

5. They live with purpose, not by default

Instead of drifting through life reacting to everyone else's priorities, High Value Women make deliberate choices about their time, their energy and their actions. They have a vision for the woman they want to become and regularly take action towards that vision, even if the steps are small.

Take action: Every morning identify one action that will move your life forward for that day.

This week on the podcast

Habits, ritual and routine have incredible power as self-leadership tools. In the most recent edition of The Self Leadership Podcast, I discuss what they are and how you can harness them to both scaffold your life and your productivity and also enrich the every day.

Coming up this week: I have decided I want to get deeply personal on the pod this week. I'm undergoing a bit of a metamorphisis - an upgrade of my self-identity and I want to be open about what that means for me and how I'm managing the process. So listen in to that episode from Thursday 23 July on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts (new episode every Thursday).

PS My signature program, The High Value Woman, will launch later this year. Join the waitlist to be the first to hear news about the program and to receive special bonuses along the way. 

Do you know what you really want?

As a coach and mentor, this question of "what do I really want?" is among the most common I hear. So I created a self-guided program to help you answer this very question for yourself.

Across six modules, you'll not only become far more aware of who you are and what you want, but you'll create a strategy for change. It's the process I have personally used (and continue to use), so I know it works.

No need to waste one more precious day wondering. Take the course to get clarity around your next power moves!

Have a magnificent week, High Value Woman. Oh, and don't forget to take a look around my new website. It will be updated with new freebies and life-changing programs regularly, so come back any time.
