There Is A Reason You’re Not Enjoying Life, Let’s Fix That

I remember when I went to watch Fiddler on the Roof at the Theatre

If you’ve ever watched the film

You would know that it has a really famous song

A song that Gwen Stefani remixed into Rich Girl

Yes the song Rich man

I used to sing this song to my kids to lighten the mood

It would work wonders, not because of the words but because of the energy behind it

So I sat in anticipation waiting to hear this song at the Theatre

But something wasn’t quite right when the character Tevye sang

It wasn’t delivered with the same enthusiasm

Or at least that was my perception

As a high achiever because I work so hard on making things almost “perfect” I put others on the same pedestal

Can you imagine the pressure I put myself and others under

That is why over the years I have learnt to be more aware

Aware that my work ethic isn’t like everyone else’s

Aware that my perceptions are just that, my perception

Because changing behaviour starts with awareness

There were many factors as to why I didn’t enjoy the show as much as I could of including:

comparing it with the production Dream Girls, I am sorry but nothing can top that (again that’s my perception).

The very fact I woke up at 4 am that day so kept on falling asleep when the cast was performing #sorry

I was recovering from some dynamic Yoga 2 days before

And then I had some mental shizzle the day before

My physical

Emotional

And even spiritual energy all played a factor in being present

Have you ever had an experience which you should have enjoyed but your energy was off?

It happens to everyone

It becomes an issue when your circumstances stops you from being present

That is why I do this work

Because going to a musical or anything else you want to do should be met with enthusiasm

Life should be met with enthusiasm

But sometimes we get busy and operate from our lower self

Our lower self isn’t our true self

Our lower self is tired, irritable, detached from people

Our lower self focuses on all the things we haven’t processed

Don’t let this ☝️be your normal 😐

A post shared by Ruth-Ellen | Energy Coach (@theruthellen) on

As opposed to when you start to step into your version highest version of yourself you step into your version of effectiveness, efficiency & enthusiasm (E3) & this is what happens…

✊ Your E3 self…

Doesn’t get stressed, anxious or enraged by circumstances out of your control, you are actually so aware that the energy has shifted that you shift right back to the vibrational set point that allows you to maintain your energy with ease

✊Your E3 self…

Doesn’t make decisions based on push, push, push which you regret later but instead your decisions are made from a place of ease and you make right decisions for you EVERYTIME! #wisdomthroughfaith

Your E3 self …

✊ Doesn’t need to do all the things, because your highest self trusts yourself so much that those doubt bunnies poof away because you are more than aware just how much of a powerful creator you are and where to focus your attention!

✊Your E3 self…

Takes a day or a week (or a MONTH) off just because it feels like it because you have a system in place that does not require you to keep trading dollars for hours.

So how do you step into that E3 version?

It starts with letting go

Letting go of who you think you should be

Letting go of where you think you should be

Letting of when you think you should have it

Knowing that disappointment comes from your expectations and reality not matching up

Knowing you are in the world but you are not of the world and stuff happens but worrying in praying more of the same please #dontdothat

It starts with knowing where you receive your dose of high and low positive energy and what high and low are messing with you on the conscious, subconscious and unconscious levels so you can tap into your superconscious

Because too often we walk around absorbing other people’s thoughts, beliefs, personas like we are vacuums

That’s what I coach you on in 90 Days To Energy Mastery because spiritually, mentally, physically you are a master of your energy or at least will be at the end of the 90 days you will be

Energy Mastery isn’t for everyone, it’s for a select few, for those high achievers that want to get off the busy bike and start to focus on what’s important to them.  Those that no longer want to live in a world that drains them but gives them an overflow of energy physically, mentally and spiritually.

The “Powerful Woman” Has Changed!

Ruth-Ellen Danquah

Honestly, when I have had to think of what a powerful woman looked like for me for as long as I can remember I have always depicted the women kicking butt and fighting the bad guy.

But that must get tiring don’t you think?

Always fighting?

I mean Wonder Woman has an alter ego for reason, right?

Because even she knows she needs rest

She can’t keep on fighting

We can’t keep on fighting

You can’t keep on fighting

The moment I chose to invite my best self to the dinner party

The woman who didn’t fight but was in control of what she can control and didn’t worry about the rest

The woman who knew how to conversate with ease (and is not awkward no matter how many times her mind said she was)

The woman who believed in her values and wasn’t intimidated by people that seemed to have it all

The woman who instead was curious to learn about others and was done with the comparison

That woman did not fight or compete

That woman chose to just be

Why does everything have to be a fight anyway?

Truth be told

I haven’t been in fisticuffs since Primary school and back then I was referred to as Ryu from Street Fighter

So being a powerful woman to me

Isn’t about balancing plates

It isn’t a slim, six-pack model type woman that looks like a Victoria Secrets Model

Nor is it a woman who covers up murders for a living (yes I low key love the series How To Get Away With Murder)

It is the real woman

Not a woman depicted on a cinema screen

But a woman I see walking on the streets

A woman who sometimes has bad days but also good days and appreciates both knowing there is no victory nor failure in either just lessons

A woman who does the downward-facing dog in Yoga and gets tired

A woman who runs 6km and doesn’t know if she feels compelled to do it again because frankly that Box vs Bass class was far more entertaining

A woman who gets nervous from time to time about the future and has to take walks in nature to ground herself so she feels connected to nature

A woman who has a picture of herself as a toddler in the mirror and tells that toddler

I love you to remind herself that she is loved

This woman is me

I like the idea of this woman

Because…

This woman is vulnerable

This woman is relatable

And this woman hasn’t got all her shit together

And that is what I love about her

Because it’s the messy shit that keeps this woman grounded in the truth that we are all human

Being this woman, accepting who I am and not what I think I should be has brought me so much freedom

Don’t you want that freedom?

Well it starts with your energy

Because you can be doing all the things

But if your energy is not focused on being purposeful, love-driven instead of fear-driven you end up taking action from a low energetic, fearful and desperate place

I don’t want that for you…

Let me help you

You are powerful you just have to stop trying to fight and learn how to shift, I show you how, book a call here

Be a Warrior Not A Worrier Even When It’s Mercury Retrograde

I was super nervous

I mean super anxious

When I get anxious I sometimes forget to breathe

And get very disorientated

My daughter told me to calm down

And to stop overthinking

So, of course, I over thought even more

I mean it’s like saying don’t think about the blue elephant

Immediately you think of the blue elephant right?

Yesterday I delivered a speech to my club

A club I had delivered hundreds of times over the last 7 years

I didn’t like the energy and with the Mercury Retrograde in full swing, I knew it wasn’t my energy

FYI: Just about all forms of communication—whether it be negotiating, buying, selling, speaking, listening and editing—may seem to face some roadblocks during retrograde.

So I practised some NLP techniques to help me take away the feeling of inadequacy, incompetence and insecurity.

I walked for 25 minutes to Greenwich, mindfully trying to let go of this fear of being seen because it was paralysing me

Because this speech was way out of my comfort zone, or at least that’s what I told myself

I am a grown-ass woman, about to do ‘silly voices’ I kept on repeating in my head

Oh the judgement that washed over me like a wave of sticky caramel sauce that just felt wrong

When I arrived at the club, one of the members came and spoke to me

He could clearly see my energy was off

He had to remind me of who I am

Remind me of what I did

And honestly, it went in one ear and out the other

Did I do the speech?

OF COURSE, I DID!

Because that energy, that negative noise was the E.G.O AKA Edging God Out – Wayne Dyer

So I let the noises continue

Breathed in an out and said thank you

I wasn’t going to abandon myself

So I took to the stage

And honestly, the rest is blank

I forgot about me because I surrendered

I had a message to deliver to someone in that audience

A message to live on purpose

A message to not compare

A message told through the old folk tale the Hare and the Tortoise

Feedback like wow, wow, wow I am inspired, thank you was received in abundance

The point of me telling you this story is because you have a message, many messages inside of you

And your messages  are just as important as everyone else’s

Your message will touch someone else’s life so you can break old mindsets from their present and future generations

Don’t keep your message a secret so that people leave this planet with wounds that you could have helped them to heal, no matter the season.

You’re limitless, that is why you are reading this, I see you!

You Have to Make YOU a Priority If YOU Want Your Dreams to Happen

Ruth-Ellen Danquah

What’s Holding You Back?

You have dreams that set your soul on fire. The kind of dreams that keep you awake at night because you know deep down you’re meant to achieve them. But here’s the hard truth: if you don’t prioritise yourself, those dreams will stay just that—dreams.

Sound familiar? You’re putting clients, family, your team, or even random distractions ahead of YOU. You’re running on empty while pouring everything into everyone else. And you’re left wondering why progress feels so hard.

Here’s the deal: success doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you choose to make YOU—your time, your energy, and your goals—a non-negotiable priority.

The Shift: Why You Must Put YOU First

Putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. If you want your dreams to happen, you need the energy, focus, and clarity to bring them to life. Think of it this way: if you’re constantly running on fumes, how can you give 100% to your goals?

Making YOU a priority gives you the fuel to:

  • Take intentional action toward your dreams.
  • Show up stronger for your family, team, and clients.
  • Create momentum and results that match your potential.

But here’s the thing—it won’t happen by chance. You need to take control and intentionally build habits that prioritise YOU every single day.

How to Make YOU a Priority Without the Guilt

If you’ve been conditioned to put everyone else first, this shift might feel uncomfortable. That’s okay—it’s part of the process. Here’s how to make YOU the priority and still show up for others:

1. Create Boundaries That Protect Your Goals

Boundaries are the ultimate form of self-respect. Without them, your time and energy are up for grabs by anyone and anything. Start here:

  • Block off focus time: Reserve at least 2–3 hours every day to work on your goals. Treat this time like an unmissable meeting with your future self.
  • Learn to say no (or later): Every time you say “yes” to something that doesn’t matter, you’re saying “no” to your dreams. Practice politely declining low-priority requests.
  • Guard your energy fiercely: Avoid people, tasks, and distractions that drain you.

2. Prioritise Your Health and Energy

Your body and mind are the engines that drive your success. If you don’t take care of them, your dreams will stall. Here’s how:

  • Fuel your body: Eat for energy, not convenience. Skip the quick fixes and choose meals that energise and nourish you.
  • Recharge your mind: Meditation, journaling, or simply unplugging for 15 minutes a day can work wonders for your clarity and focus.
  • Move your body: Exercise isn’t just good for your health—it sharpens your mind and gives you a productivity boost. Make it a daily habit.

3. Invest in Growth, Not Just Hustle

Hustling without direction isn’t the answer. To reach your dreams, you need strategies that work smarter, not harder.

  • Learn from experts: Programmes like Scaling Simplified™ teach you proven systems to streamline your business and scale without burnout.
  • Delegate and automate: Free up your time by letting others or technology handle routine tasks.
  • Surround yourself with growth-oriented people: Success is contagious. Be around those who challenge and inspire you to reach higher.

Ways to Deepen the Practice

Want to truly embed this into your life? Let’s take it a step further:

1. Picture This…

A business owner was hustling 24/7, juggling endless demands from clients, team members, and family. Burnout was inevitable. Then, they made one simple shift: they started putting themselves first.

They created boundaries, delegated low-value tasks, and made time for self-care. Within weeks, they reclaimed 20+ hours a week, their energy skyrocketed, and their business hit six-figure growth in a single quarter. This isn’t just possible—it’s your blueprint for success.

2. A Surprising Stat

Here’s a game-changing fact: CEOs and high performers spend 50% of their day on high-impact tasks. How? They prioritise their time and energy with ruthless focus. Imagine what you could achieve if you did the same.

3. A Common Mistake

Believing self-care is selfish. It’s not. Prioritising yourself is the most selfless thing you can do. When you’re operating at your best, you show up as a stronger, more focused leader for your family, team, and dreams.

Why YOU Must Come First

Let’s break it down. Here’s why making YOU a priority is non-negotiable:

1. Your Dreams Deserve Focus

Distractions and overwhelm are dream killers. When you prioritise YOU, you clear the mental clutter and create the focus needed to take meaningful action.

2. Energy Is Everything

Low energy = low results. By taking care of your health, mind, and spirit, you fuel yourself to perform at your highest level every single day.

3. Time Is Your Greatest Asset

Every hour spent on tasks or people that don’t align with your vision is time stolen from your future. Protect your time like the valuable resource it is.

Take the First Step Toward Your Dreams

Your dreams won’t wait. They need YOU to show up fully, with energy, focus, and clarity. And that starts with making yourself a priority—today, not someday.

This is why programmes like Scaling Simplified™ exist. They’re designed to help service-based CEOs reclaim 20+ hours a week, build scalable systems, and focus on the high-revenue tasks that drive results.

✨ Your dreams aren’t selfish—they’re your calling. Make YOU a priority, and watch what happens when you take intentional action toward the life you want.

7 Things Burlesque Classes Taught Me About Confidence

Ruth-Ellen Danquah

Despite popular belief dyspraxia (which is one of many awesome abilities) and dance actually goes together, because through dance you can improve gross motor skills (large movements) which is one of the challenges with dyspraxia.

Gross motor skills are important and despite the stereotype that dyspraxics lack coordination I had plenty.

I already go gym three times a week but wanted something different as the gym can be quite isolating (especially as 6 am gym classes clash with my schedule for the school run prep).

In all honesty, I did have some wild preconceived expectations of the transformation that I would go through by the time I finished my Burlesque classes. I did level 1 into and level 2 because I wanted to gain the confidence that had been stripped away like paint stripper over the years because of my unknown dyspraxia and dyslexia.  Confidence that I was in awe of when I watched the movie Burlesque with Cher & Christina Aguilera (one of my guilty pleasure movies).  So I thought I would try out Burlesque and so far I have learnt so much (minus the video above lol).  I added burlesque to my life list of things to do and booked a course and pursued Burlesque wholeheartedly.   What follows are the 7 things burlesque classes taught me about confidence, that has helped with my dyspraxia.

 

  1. Sexy doesn’t belong to people that are given the label by the masses. The term sexy if for those who dare to wear the label without it being handed to them, it’s in your attitude and affects your altitude.
  2. Confidence is not something you have, it is something you generate. You make a decision to be confident and to quieten those niggling little voice that tells you to sit down and not to make a fool of yourself by just being.
  3. The more you come out of your comfort zone the more you start challenging yourself and that is where your real confidence lies.
  4. You need to find your theme music that plays while you walk, it’s ok to dance wherever you are and laugh at yourself.
  5. Showing up and being present is half of the battle when it comes to being confident.
  6. Laughing at yourself is real confidence. I now know nipple tassels are no big deal & so do 40 fellow ladies if anything it is liberating.
  7. The clothes don’t maketh the lady. The lady maketh the clothes. Whether you are wearing a burlesque outfit, a onesie or sweatpants it doesn’t matter. Point is, you wear the clothes, you wear it well 🙂

 

So there are the 7 Things Burlesque Classes Taught Me About dyspraxia and confidence. What is on your learning list to help with your challenges?
