This Is Our Experience

Nothing has meaning until you give it meaning. That's right, you are in charge of how you interpret things. Nothing is bad or good until you choose the label and assign it. It doesn't matter what you've been told your whole life.   I've always thought that if someone disrespected me, I had to demand that respect back by fighting. This is because I grew up in a rough environment where this was an unspoken rule. As I got older, more self aware and less ego driven, I realized that I don't care too much about insults or verbal confrontation. I don't have to demand respect from anyone, especially by putting my hands on them. I don't have to take words so personally. The respect I care the most about is self respect. I learned to walk away from people who use words to try and hurt others. I don't have to try and change their mind or prove my worth by hitting them. It's not required of me to respond to others with anger and violence. This is an example of c

 I always talk about the importance of being mindful because it is truly vital. Our environment, the way we were raised, and media, play a big part in or perspectives and beliefs.  If you find yourself feeling unsatisfied with the way your life is, pay close attention to your thoughts. You may have beliefs that don't align with where you want to be in life. For example, people who are poor may believe wealth is far-fetched or a person who wants love may attract terrible relationships because they might have been raised in an environment where dysfunctionality was normal. In order to break free of beliefs that don't fit in your life anymore, you must learn to be self aware by catching your thoughts.  Spend a day monitoring your thoughts. Especially your dominant thoughts. I was anxiety ridden for years, so my dominant thoughts made me feel fearful and worried 70% of the time. I didn't notice this until I consciously decided to pay attention to what I was thinking on a day t

Changing your life starts with changing the way you think . Monitoring your thoughts is a full time job, plus over-time. It's not something you work on once in a while. In order to see life changing results, you have to consistently monitor your thoughts. If your inner voice is usually harsh or self doubting, change it.  Think about the person you aspire to become. Know that you can be that person. Now match yourself and your life with that person.  If that person is an entrepreneur, you have to think and behave like an entrepreneur.  Get rid of all things that opposed to being an entrepreneur.  That means being careful of your thoughts. As I always say, practice makes perfect. You must persist! 

It seems like whenever my birthday comes around I get this major energetic shift. I'm flooded with new ideas, my perspective changes drastically, and I feel like my wisdom increases times 3! That's the best way I can explain it. My 29th birthday just passed (September 11th, shout out to my fellow Virgo's ♍) and I feel like I've spiritually leveled up. I feel that some sort of spiritual detox has taken place and I want to share what I am learning with you guys. 😊 Emotionally reacting  I've been teaching myself how to stop emotionally reacting for a while, and now it seems to be sticking. I find my self breathing first and then using my logic to help me respond to whatever is happening.  Don't take it personal We take things personal when we are triggered. I try my best not to take things person. It finally seems to be working. Working out triggers  My self awareness has helped me be honest with myself and I am able to recognize when I'm triggered. I am also

I sent this text to my best friend the other morning. She posted it on her Instagram and got a lot of positive feedback so I decided to post it here! Many of us need this reminder 😊  

Albert Einstein said "Insanity  is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” I believe we all learn this the hard way. You cannot keep up with the same, beliefs, thoughts, habits and behaviors and expect for a different outcome to show up in your life. If you work at the post office 30 hours per week and you're not satisfied with your paycheck, you can't just continue going to work 30 hours a week and expect to see a difference in your paycheck. Nothing changed. But if you pick up more hours a week or apply to a higher paying job, then you will see an increase in your paycheck.  Do something different to see something different. I don't care about comfort zones. Comfort zones eventually get uncomfortable. We have to do what we have to do in order to experience the life we deserve. If you needed a sign, here it is!
