2023 and beyond.
Here's to a year filled with love, kindness, and abundance for you,
your loved ones, and all the amazing things that life has in store!

FRESH START,
FABOLOUS YOU
Embrace the power
of a new year transformation
The start of a new year is a time of reflection and goal-setting. Many of us make resolutions with
the best intentions, but sticking to them can be challenging. Whether you're looking to lose weight,
save money, or learn a new skill, here are some tips to help you stay on track and make this year
your best yet.
01
Be specific:
Rather than making a vague resolution
like "I want to be healthier," set specific,
measurable goals. For example, "I want
to lose 10kgs by March" or "I want to run
a 5k by June."
04
Accountability partner
Share your resolutions with someone
you trust and ask them to hold you
accountable. You can also join a support
group or a class related to your goal to
connect with others who share your
interests.
02
Make a plan:
05
Be realistic:
Once you've set your goals, create a plan
of action. Break your goals down into
smaller, manageable steps and schedule
time each week to work on them.
03
Track your progress:
Keep a record of your progress. This can
be a calendar, or an app that tracks your
progress. Seeing how far you've come
can be a great motivator.
Remember that change takes time and
effort. Be realistic about the time and
resources you have available and don't
set yourself up for failure by trying to do
too much too soon.
06
Be flexible:
Life happens and things don't always go
as planned. If you fall off track, don't beat
yourself up. Instead, adjust your plan and
get back on track as soon as you can.

06 Reward yourself:
Give yourself small rewards for reaching your milestones. It could be something simple such as
buying yourself a book, watching your favourite movie or taking a day off.
Following these tips can increase your chances of sticking to your resolutions and making real,
lasting change. Remember, it's not about being perfect, it's about making progress. Happy New
Year, and best of luck on your journey to a new you!
Your peace of mind is just
a personal loan away

DRIVE WITH
A SMILE
The power of a positive
attitude behind the wheel
by Mibsam Chindundundu
Driving is a daily activity that many of us
take for granted. But have you ever stopped
to think about the attitudes and emotions
that we bring with us when we get behind
the wheel? Our driving behaviors can
greatly impact not only our own safety, but
the safety of others on the road.
Be patient: Traffic can be frustrating, but try
to avoid getting angry or aggressive. Instead,
give yourself plenty of time to reach your
destination and be patient with other drivers.
Positive driving attitudes are key to ensuring
a safe and smooth drive. Here are some tips
to adopt a more positive outlook on the
road:
Practice empathy: Try to put yourself in the
shoes of other drivers. For example, if someone
cuts you off, they may be in a hurry to reach a
hospital or attend an emergency.
Stay relaxed: Avoid getting overly
stressed or upset while driving. Take deep
breaths, listen to calming music, or simply
give yourself a moment to cool down if
necessary.

Focus on the present:
Distracted driving is a major cause of accidents. Put
down your phone, avoid eating while driving, and
concentrate on the road ahead.
Show respect: Use turn signals, obey traffic signals,
and avoid tailgating. Remember that you're sharing
the road with others, and treating them with respect is
key to a safe and enjoyable drive.
By adopting these attitudes, together we can create a safer, more harmonious environment on
the roads. So the next time you hit the road, remember to drive with a smile and spread
positivity behind the wheel.

SETTING
BOUNDARIES
The Key to Prioritising
Self-Care in Personal
Relationships
Self-care is essential for maintaining our physical and mental well-being, but it can be difficult to
prioritise it when we have many responsibilities and relationships in our lives. One of the most
important aspects of self-care is setting boundaries, which can help us create the space we need
to take care of ourselves. In this article, we will explore how to set boundaries and prioritise
self-care in personal relationships.
First, it's important to understand that
setting boundaries is not about being
selfish or rude. It's about taking care of
yourself and your needs, and communicating
them to others in a clear and respectful
way. By setting boundaries, you are creating
a healthy balance between taking care of
yourself and being there for others.
One of the most important steps in setting boundaries is to
be clear and specific about what you need. This
means identifying your own needs and wants, and being
honest with yourself and others about them. For example, if
you need some alone time after work to relax and recharge,
it's important to communicate this to your partner or
friends so they can understand and respect your needs.

Another important step in setting boundaries is learning to say
"no" when you need to. Saying "no" can be difficult, but it's
necessary if you want to prioritise your own needs. Saying "no" can
be as simple as setting a limit on how much time you spend with
someone, or declining an invitation to do something that you don't
feel comfortable with.
It's also important to set boundaries around technology and
social media. With the constant influx of notifications and
messages, it can be hard to disconnect and focus on self-care.
Setting specific times of the day when you will check your phone or
social media can help you create a balance between staying
connected and taking care of yourself.
In addition, it's important to set boundaries in your relationships by communicating your
needs, wants and expectations clearly and respectfully. When these expectations are
not met, it is also important to communicate your disappointment and work together to find a
solution, to avoid any resentment or dissatisfaction in the relationship.
In conclusion, setting boundaries is a key aspect of self-care and it is essential for maintaining
healthy relationships. By being clear and specific about your needs, learning to say "no," setting
boundaries around technology, and communicating your expectations clearly, you can create the
space you need to take care of yourself, while still being there for others.
Remember that setting boundaries is not about being selfish, it's about taking care of yourself
and your needs.
