DEVA update :
Behind the scene of the staffing side of DEVA. Here is a screenshot of the staffing side of DEVA on one of our weekly Monday meetings.
We DEVAs are busy with the new contract's increased hours and workload. We also sadly yet happily sent off one of our members. She secured a full-time job with one of the clients she was working with on DEVA Staffing. We are happy with the flow and energy everyone brings and looking forward to future endeavors.

Tell me something you’re investing in right now!
How about investing in yourself…
Did you know that the best investment is always going to be in YOURSELF?

"Investment" doesn't have to be enrolling in a big course or hiring a coach (though it could be).

Investment can come from the small things you do every day that add up over time. Things like
😎Taking care of your body … moving, meditating, supplementing
😎Making sure you read or listen to something inspiring every day
😎Exploring your creative side - writing, cooking, music

I'm curious, what are you reading/ listening to that inspires you?

Have you ever sat down and made a list of things you WANT?

If not …. Why?

⭐ Does it feel wrong to think about your personal desires?
⭐ Do you feel selfish or bad?
⭐Maybe you feel you don’t deserve them?

All healthy goals start with a list of wants. Without knowing this list, how can you set goals you can connect with emotionally?

A lot of women think about everyone else first.

Here is a challenge
Grab a pen and a private journal. Make a list of 5 things you want!

Try it!
Go!

This might shock you, but you are stronger than you think.
Strength isn’t just physical ability, it’s willpower, discipline and drive.
Often we limit ourselves based on what we think our boundaries are. But guess what? We can push those boundaries. We can test our limitations. Once we get really good at breaking those so-called constraints, that is where we can see how strong we really are.

The content we consume, the people we surround ourselves with, both can have a significant impact on our well-being. It's essential to be mindful of the things we put into our bodies emotionally, spiritually, and physically because they can affect us more than we realize.

Are there things in your life that are not serving your well-being? Maybe it's time to cut them out and prioritize your health and happiness.

The little things you do each day matter. In fact, they can add up to BIG results over time. It’s the small things you do every day that start to shape who you will become.

Are you up for the challenge? Let me know in the comments what ONE little thing you can do today.

Hey - you - you're doing a great job.
Tell me the truth - when you look at yourself in the mirror - are you looking at your imperfections - or are you telling yourself you're beautiful inside and out?

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 I choose to say:
I am a supportive friend.
I am creative and courageous.
I am a loving wife & mom.
I am proud of myself.

What are the benefits of contracting a DEVA?

⭐Cost-effectiveness: Virtual assistants are usually paid by the hour, and you only pay for the time they work.

⭐Flexibility: Virtual assistants work on a part-time or project basis, and can be located anywhere in the world. This provides greater flexibility in terms of scheduling and workload management.

⭐Expertise: Virtual assistants often specialize in a particular area, such as social media management, bookkeeping, or customer service. This means that you can contract someone with the specific skills you need, rather than a generalist administrative assistant.

⭐Increased productivity: By delegating administrative tasks to a virtual assistant, you free up time to focus on more important aspects of your business or personal life.

⭐Reduced overhead: Contracting a virtual assistant eliminates the need for additional office space, equipment, and supplies. This can reduce your overall overhead costs.

⭐Scalability: If your workload increases or decreases, it is easy to adjust the amount of work you assign to a virtual assistant. This makes it easy to scale up or down as needed, without having to hire or fire staff.

Fear is a great teacher.

It can motivate us to take action & make positive changes in our lives
It can teach us to be more resilient & adaptive in the face of adversity
It can inspire us to be more courageous and take risks that lead to personal growth & fulfillment

Ultimately, how we choose to respond to fear will determine whether we allow it to hold us back or use it as a catalyst for personal growth
