Here's a perfect example of what happens when your strategy is weak - or you skip it altogether - and go straight to creative execution. Unless there's some insight about customers popping a cough drop before a big presentation or life defining moment, which I'm sure even if there is, it's a small minority... The majority of people using Halls cough drops are probably doing so from bed with a mound of tissues on the covers, theraflu cup on the side bed table, with nothing to do but sleep it off while they stress about falling behind. From someone who is currently writing from this very scene, I can tell you with certainty... The very last thing they need in that moment is more "hustle-culture" cheerleading. This is a missed opportunity for Halls to position the brand as the opposite of hustle-at-all-costs. With messaging that reassures their audience and packaging that says - 'Take care of yourself.' 'Rest up.' 'It can wait.' 'Your health is priority #1.' Etc etc. Folks, I can easily see how this was a well-intentioned move by the brand, meant to encourage, but it is so blatantly obvious there just wasn't the time and attention put into the customer's actual experience. Brand building is ALL about the details. #packaging #cpgbrand #brandbuilding

Ooh... I have grown to love doing this. I try to connect with nature as much as possible to help me, so in the spring, summer, and fall months, I make it a point to sit outside in my favorite spot and just notice. In the winter I do it in the comfort of my home or I go for a nature walk. I simply notice what is around me, notice the sounds, notice the weather, and, most importantly, I notice my thoughts and how they are making me feel. We spend so much time thinking, overthinking, and ruminating, and we don't even notice we are doing it. Let alone, noticing how these thoughts are making us feel. We live on auto-pilot. Auto-pilot is not healthy. So it is incredibly important to sit and notice. Notice, what is on your mind? What are you thinking about? And then, notice, how are you feeling about it? Where in your body do you feel it? And then, and this is the best part, what is that small voice inside of you telling you to do about it? A simple contemplation exercise like that can really bring you into the present moment because you are assessing yourself, right now, in this moment. The more you do this, the more you do it. Next thing you know, you find yourself naturally doing regular self-check scans, particularly when you are feeling stressed. Give it a try and let me know how you do!

Feel unhappy? Lost? Tired? Want to feel confident and full of energy? Meet S, my amazing client 🎉 This lady came to me feeling like she had no energy. At this point in her life she felt like she had tried everything to stop snacking at night. When she reached out she was feeling very self conscious. When I asked her how she wanted to feel her response was - “I want to feel more confident and be happy in myself.” So we got to work. We identified what her specific goals were. We did a deep dive to understand what her motivation was behind achieving those goals. Within the first 7 days she started to feel more relaxed. After years of comfort eating she noticed she wasn’t eating as much 👏🏼 By session 4 she was: ✅ back at the gym ✅ drinking more water ✅ reducing weight ✅ making healthier choices During our time together S went from feeling unhappy, lost and tired to feeling confident, comfortable and motivated 🙌🏼 Does any of this resonate with you? If you’ve had enough of feeling tired and drained, I’ve got 1 place left to work with me 1:1 for 6 weeks. DM me for more details 🧡

It's a new day and it's time for breakfast.🍽️ Are you familiar with Brian Tracy's concept of eating the frog first? 🐸 It's the idea that you should start by completing your most important task first. 🤷 If you begin the day by clearing your toughest challenge first, you can go through the day knowing that you are the person that completes difficult tasks. This can fuel you when you face other tasks that seem challenging. 🧠 This is one of the reasons why many people do cold plunges.👀 If you can force yourself to do something hard and unpleasant each morning, you subconsciously re- enforce your identity as someone who can cope with uncomfortable situations.🦾 Start by eating the frog, then use that momentum to fuel you throughout the day.🤷🏻♂️ What's the frog you'll be eating today? 🧐

Who hasn't experienced this? The day begins, the to-do list is longer than what you can actually accomplish and just thinking about it makes you feel overwhelmed. ⏰ On top of that, there's that one task that you've been avoiding for days for all kinds of reasons, that gives you a stomach ache and that haunts you like a dark shadow. But what if there was a simple method to counteract this feeling and make the day productive and successful? The Eat That Frog method is a simple solution for those who find it difficult to tackle unpleasant tasks and long to-do lists. 🐸✨ Parm AG explains how the method works and why it makes sense to eat a frog first thing in the morning. 🍴 https://lnkd.in/egcs3JZN Also available in: 🇩🇪 https://lnkd.in/eUsch6sx 🇮🇹 https://lnkd.in/edgbszTP 🇫🇮 https://lnkd.in/e3-tG-x2 🇫🇷 https://lnkd.in/eTkHYFqU 🇪🇸 https://lnkd.in/eejb2zyH #EatThatFrog #Timemanagement #Produktivity #Selfmanagement #Taskmanagement

Read this if you're feeling underwhelmed. Sometimes the reason you can't get started is the feeling of being underwhelmed. It happens to all of us from time to time and the problem is often identifying WHY we feel that way. Why is there no joy or excitement here? Try asking yourself these questions: - What can I do to make this enjoyable? - What can I take off my plate? (that is sucking the life, joy and energy out of me) - How can I change my routine to add some sparks back into my life? - Who can I talk to about how I’m feeling? Alternatively: Suck it up, Buttercup. Get your shit together and start doing whatever it is you're supposed to be doing. I opted for red lipstick. Makes everything more enjoyable.

If you have a busy mind & a busy life that often leaves you feeling overwhelmed here is a technique that can help bring you back to the present moment without closing your eyes or doing anything "weird" 😉 The 5-4-3-2-1 technique is super simple which is why it's also really effective (I've used this a lot during the summer holidays 😂 ) All you need to do is name out loud or in your head 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, 1 thing you can taste. And BREATHE. When we are stressed and overwhelmed our breathing often becomes shallow which only exacerbates those feelings. Repeat as necessary. I share this today because I used it myself about an hour ago. I was in a big Asda supermarket and it was really busy. As I walked to the aisle I needed I did this technique more as a preventative measure because I know how easily I can go from cool as a cucumber to "I feel like I can't breathe and need to get the hell out of here". It works a treat and as an added bonus if you use it while you're shopping it will help focus your mind so you don't and up buying loads of other random shit just because it caught your eye 😁👌 Give it a go and let me know how you get on #GroundingTechniques #mhfa #ClearTherapist #OvercomeOverwhelm

Today’s Daily Dose of Positivity Day 149: Not Up for Grabs: Defending Your Worth in a Take-Take World Ever feel like you’ve become the unofficial 24/7 convenience store for people’s needs and whims? They dash in, grab what they want, and sprint out, leaving you with nothing but a cold draft as the door slams shut. It’s like you’ve got this neon sign above your head blinking “Open for Business” even when you desperately need a “Closed for Maintenance” break. The constant give-give scenario can feel like you're stuck in a rerun of a bad sitcom where you play the ever-generous sidekick to a cast of self-centered stars. And each time you assert your worth, it's like you've veered off-script, drawing bewildered looks from the crowd. But why should asserting your worth feel like breaking character? Why does saying "no" or "enough" seem to flip the channel to an awkward drama? It's the ongoing saga of the selfless turned doormat, where your value gets lost amidst the chaotic script of taking, expecting, and more taking. But here’s a new plot twist: closing shop on the free-for-all. It’s about flipping the sign from “Always Open” to “By Appointment Only.” It’s about redefining the terms of engagement on your own terms, not the script the world handed you. We're not a revolving door of endless benevolence. We're not a bargain bin of discounted self-worth. Our value isn’t a yard sale item up for negotiation. It's a priceless artifact, worthy of being treasured, respected, and handled with care. So, let’s rewrite the script, let’s redefine the narrative. It’s time to hang up the “Not Up for Grabs” sign on our hearts and reclaim the starring role in our own stories. And for those who can’t grasp the plot change? Well, they can find another convenience store to raid. #positivity #wellness #mindfulness #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness #gratitude #inspiration #selflove #mindset #growthmindset #thoughtful #dailydoseofpositivity

What’s no longer working for you? Where do things repeatedly go wrong for you? I’m not talking about a one-off event. Where are you feeling like maybe even you’re cursed? Do you find yourself in similar troubles with your clients, your hires, your own work process? Are you finding yourself pressured, triggered, anxious, being ignored, attacked, overlooked, or even discriminated against? Do you find yourself venting about being surrounded by bad bosses and lazy employees? It used to be me. 🙈 A little…? 🙈 (Some people would disagree 😂) But I was fed up with the “me against the elements” story, and I didn’t want to continue living like that. “There MUST BE a less exhausting way to live,” I thought at one of the New Year’s Eve dinners. One day I saw and bought myself a T-Shirt with this phrase: “If nothing goes right - go left.” ↩️ (not back!! 🚫) and I started doing A LOT differently. This was THE SHIFT I needed, and it made it to my list of 👉 “12 phrases that changed my life”(link in my profile) One of the KEY SHIFTS that finally changed my attitude, my energy, and brought me effortless wins. And then I learned how to methodically apply it, so you can intercept your patterns and get your wins too🥇😊. 🟢Curious to see if I can help ? You can ask me by booking a free call with me on the 28-29 March. ——- PS. The t-shirt is too old now to be on the picture. But I’ll share with you the story behind the new one soon! so hit follow Maja Caplette ☝️
