Mum Plans: Journey Through Life Courageously #YouGotThis

Viviamo Inc., maker of the Belle de Jour Power Planner, launches its 2021 products to help you journey out of this pandemic courageously.

This a year everyone will remember. As we’ve been locked in our homes, every day balancing fear and anxiety over the uncertainties brought about by a global pandemic, we hear a quiet rebellion, with some of us saying–oh this year doesn’t count, this year is cancelled, my planner is a waste. Yet in this time of great pause we really cannot deny: we are also given the choice to simply be, to get to know ourselves again, to journey deep in that space within where all is well.

Though many of our plans seem to have turned upside down, does that mean we should stop going after our goals and passions? What if we are given this pause to recalibrate, to course-correct, to redesign ourselves? And to help Filipinos continue to journey through life courageously, Viviamo, maker of the Belle de Jour (BDJ) Power Planner, launches its 2021 planner and journal collection on September 19-20, at the First Planning and Journaling Online Summit: #YouGotThis.

#YouGotThis was created because now more than ever, this message needs to be felt, and heard, and passed around. At a time when we must distance ourselves from each other to survive, we can’t ignore the human yearning to still connect–and isn’t it that the most important connection we can make, is with our Inner Selves? When we are forced to strip down to the barest of essentials, we journey deeper within, and with the help of pen and paper we begin to acknowledge our emotions, start to power through anxiety, again remember our dreams, then recommit to our goals, and in the process, rediscover the strength and power of our innermost Selves.

Mum Inspires: Realizations + Lessons Learned From COVID-19 {And Why It’s Important To Be Financially Prepared For Anything, Pandemic Or Not}


I have always been a “half glass full” kind of person. For me, there will always be a silver lining to everything ~ even in cases like the COVID-19 pandemic. While I know that the virus continues to take and threaten a lot of lives ~ and continues to impact the global economy, I like to think that this pandemic has also been an eye-opener of the things we can control. This includes the way we react to issues around us, the way we weed out the negativity around us, and, the way we plan our lives moving forward.

Because while the future is uncertain, we can always take steps to prepare today so we can worry less tomorrow. COVID-19 has affected our lives in different ways but the lessons we learned from it are essentially the same. Here are five lessons everyone learned or should learn, especially now that most of us are finally back to work.

Health is indeed wealth

Your health is your best asset ~ both physically and financially. Pandemic or not, protecting your health always comes first. And having good health and being in shape give you more energy to work hard for your family while pursuing your passions. Staying healthy saves you a lot of money too. After all, getting sick is not cheap. You have to pay for medicines, treatment, and confinement. Costs for COVID-19 treatment can reach millions, and so do other critical illnesses like cancer, heart attack, renal failure, or stroke.

But if you do get sick {and often these illnesses will just strike without warning}, there are ways to make sure you are financially prepared. Protection plans like FWD Insurance’s Set for Health ensure that you have the money you need to pay for any medical bills. It allows you to claim up to three times against major critical illnesses ~ and if you remain healthy by 75 years old, you’ll get your money back.

Better to focus on the good and the positive

With all the uncertainties surrounding the pandemic, the worst thing anyone can do is to spread more negativity and for people to jump in the bandwagon. Nothing will come out from ranting or complaining. One must look at themselves and just contribute in their own way, to make the current normal easier to deal and live with.
