As I am enjoying this Friday night I am thinking about the comment from Bill Gates how AI will impact our workweek According to some post I saw, he says it will lead into 2 to 3 day workweek! Instead of machines ”stealing our jobs”. Anyhow, here in Finland, for example our former Prime Minister Sanna Marin has been proposing us 4 day workweeks. I am all for that, too! Some of my reasons are: 1) Having one office day available to take care of things, go to offices (bank, doctor etc) run errands… To name few. 2) One day would be for rest and rejuvenation 3) A day to meet people as we have distanced from one another - Especially after the covid crisis There is so much loneliness. And also, the day to gather could include outdoor or other activity for body as well. As our health overall seems to be declined. As much as I am totally pro work woman having my career and enjoying what I do with and for people and businesses - I feel that we should not live for working but work for living. My long ago passed Grandma Selma used to say when electric appliences showed up that ”That is the time we should rest”. Now instead of all the electronics benefitting us our days run out with them. Not good! So let us keep working towards more pleasant life worth of living for all - And let us never let our work define our worth or happiness in life!

I have a new one for you: #TGIM!!!! Why? Because it is in our hands to start new week and every new day in positive terms. As much as I love weekends, vacations and sparetime - It all would be nothing without workdays and weeks. It is during the workdays we sow so that we can reap the fruits and enjoy that time off. There has to be a balance and there has to be joy - In both! If there is no joy in your work with what you do you most likely suffer 5 days a week and often that dissatisfaction shadows the weekends as well. Ask yourself - Is this really life worth of living? So today it is your chance to change your life. Think about what you could do that would bring you more joy? That would make you wake up with happiness and gratitude each and every day? Or truly really most of the days. Think about and make this slogan something that you will use every Monday from your heart: Thank God it’s Monday! ☀️🙏🏻☀️ So how do we make this day and week count? 💛 Juudit #heartwoman #heartteam #leadthroughlove #ThankGoditsMonday #ValuTok

I want to write the topic of envy and give you some tools how you can handle it Envy can be one the most harmful trait people have. Envy towards someone can make the person cause so much damage for the one jealous of. I have experienced this in my own life and witnessed and witness how it impacts lives to this very day. For some reason there are insecurities within the person, or any of us in some stages of our life. We don’t really see our own value, skills and competences making us to compete towards one another. We are not created to be equally talented but rather have skills that complement of one another - Creating this beautiful puzzle out of very different shape of pieces. The envy often come in form of belittling the target and trying to make them feel less than they are. At times the jealous person in leading position abuse their authority and place of power too - Causing to block opportunities for advancement in your career and hold back on every reward possible you would be entitled with. Because their biggest fear is to see you advance. So for the ones in this situation what is crucial is to understand that it is not about you! It is about them and their brokenness. Their flaws in their character. What you can do is to not accept the lies that these actions and hatred try to cause you. Always remember your value and never turn yourself into one alike because then you will truly loose. Love yourself and try to love those ones harming you - Because they are the ones suffering and feeling small. Not you! So cheer up and keep going solid and strong! You got this! 🦾 ♥️ Juudit #heartwoman #heartteam #leadthroughlove #leadership #personaldevelopment #character #valutok

Saturday is definitely the best day of the week for me 🤍 Reward and rest after often hectic and demanding workweek The moment when I can enjoy my morning coffee ☕️ peacefully and just take things slow and easy. I also often enjoy nicer breakfast then or even prepare a small brunch. Today I dug out one of my very favorite Moomin mug out of the cupboard. It’s bake in Finnish is ”Rantaelämää” Beach life in English - But I have always called the mug ”Bikini Moomin mug”. Now when it is spring here in Finland and the sun is back also the nice sunny bright summery colors and thinks come back to life. I also want to share something interesting about this Moomin mug. It was manufactured in 2008. Price then was probably 10€ ($10). Now if you search for it online people have to pay even 100€ ($100) for it! Finnish people not only love those Moomin stories by Tove Jansson but collect these Moomin mugs as well. I have even sent some out to the States after the live I had with Michele Gunn couple years ago. Not only are they nice but they grow in value too. Though, no matter the price, some things are never sold in life if you truly love them. So this specific Moomin mug of mine would not be sold even with 100€/$100. 😁 Anyhow, how do you grow in value as a person and professional? Do you see your value and all that bring on the table? And do you invest in you? I hope today you would think about your own value deeply. Think how unique you are and what you bring into this World! And share with us, if you are courageous enough!

Hello people and hello sun!!! ☀️ Let’s talk about lessons in life - Both good and bad! What have you learned during these past times? What kind of changes within you, in your behaviour and in your life can you share about and tell us? What kind of changes or insights made you a better person or helped you to improve as a professional? For me one of the things is to keep growing in boldness and resilience. And at times to work so hard to keep calm with all of the challenges - that often come all at the same time. During those times and when they last long staying positive and optimistic can be very hard. Gladly I have people in my life who push me on the bright side towards hope and happiness when I get frustrated and hope feels distant. I also do it for others. It is one of the ways to forget our own problems and issues when we focus on helping others and trying to lift them up from the pit. Right? Now how about you? What’s going on in your life and are you bold enough to share about it? 💛 Juudit #HeartWoman #HeartTeam #LeadthroughLove #Leadership #Motivation #Encouragement #Inspiration #Finland #Valutok

Double rainbow 🌈🌈 over Paris reminding me of the miracles in life✨ You know how sometimes life presses you into a situation where you feel like you cannot impact much of the things happening in your life. You feel helpless and you feel hopeless. Then when you see a rainbow even in the picture or two like this when I got to take this picture myself by the Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart) church in Paris you start to believe again. I know difficult eras seem to last forever in our lives at times - It can be even a period of years or even longer. But one day, just as the rain ends, sun will come out again and so do come out the rainbows and your life miracles! Keep the faith!✨ Love to all, Juudit PS: I add a link to song for us in comments it is ”I Need a Miracle” 🎶🎵🎶 For all of us needing one or more! 🙏🏻✨ #heartwoman #heartteam #leadthroughlove #leadership #personaldevelopment #inspiration #motivation #encouragement #hope #paris #valutok

This is totally partly humor but it is also one of the most delicious things all over the country. I even remember having my cousin Sherry over here from North America and as she after her visit laughed about my love for #Hesburger It must have been epic… 😂🤣♥️ So to give some nice free promotion to one of my favorite fast food chains and here truly a Finnish one - I wanted to give some shoutout as we overall celebrate #Finland being - Once again and for the 8th time - The Happiest Country in the World!!! ♥️ Juudit #heartwoman #heartteam #leadthroughlove #leadership #fastfood #hamburger #tortilla #humor #loveforfood #foodlovers #valutok #hesburger

What is the key 🗝️ for Finnish people 🇫🇮 being happy? I wanted to share some of our secrets about it as we just won - were nominated as Happiest Country of the World for the 8th time!!! Check out my video through the link! ♥️ Juudit #heartwoman #heartteam #leadthroughlove #leadership #finland #happiestcountryintheworld #happiness #valutok https://www.linkedin.com/posts/juudit-ojansivu-26654135_heartwoman-heartteam-leadthroughlove-activity-7308860126776455168-NRg8?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAAdgWC4Bsuvu-Eg3CciwPGRXmywnXHvT9Bw

8th time in a row Finland 🇫🇮 is the World’s Happiest Country! Is our country really so happy as World Happiness Report says? Well, let’s first clear one thing. In these past 8 years no one asked me! No one. And I heard they did not either from @Corina Maiwald. My happy German origin friend living in Finland now. Anyhow, we need to ask what Corina and others think about this but let me first share my views. Finland truly is one of the happiest and best countries in the World. Especially during the spring-summer-fall time. The clean pure nature where we then get to enjoy our leisure time and celebrate midsummer - Like here in the picture below and to go pick berries from the forests, swim in lakes, rivers and sea. And overall enjoy the beauty of a country where everyone have quite equal opportunities to education and basic income assuring that all of us have roof over our head, warmth and food - Is indeed something to be happy and grateful for. These times when the World gives us many reasons for unhappiness, fears and sadness - We can still focus on the basic things that are well for us. And with that, assure that others have it as well! As much as ever, this World needs so much more love for another and so much common faith that the future can be bright once again - No matter how dark and hopeless many of the news try to make us feel. I add in comments below the article about our BIG WIN of this ”competition” 8th time of Happiest Country of the World by Fortune Well! Enjoy and let me know your thoughts, too! And indeed as Fortune states in their article: ”It’s a good day to be a Finn - again” ♥️ Juudit #heartwoman #heartteam #leadthroughlove #leadership #worldshappiestcountry #finland #fortune #gallup #ValuTok
