Improving the Mental Image of ourselves

For as LONG as I can remember, I’ve been told all my life that  I was clumsy . Since I was a child, I’ve heard those words repeatedly. Of course, I started believing and internalizing them for years, received them as being my own, and would frequently use them as part of my internal dialogue. Every time I did something  that people considered as being, clumsy , I would reaffirm to myself how clumsy I was. Why NOT?? I’ve been doing it all my life. Recently, I’ve started becoming very annoyed at having those words either spoken to me or continue to pop in my head when things happen.   This might not be your story. You might have been told something totally different, but I bet you can relate. Here’s what I want you to remember... because this is what I hold dear to my heart now... It’s a quote by motivational speaker Les Brown that says, “ Other people’s opinion of you does NOT have to become your reality” . Well, I didn’t realize that growing up, so I started believing thi...

You've got to encourage yourself!

Who we are matters and we MUST ALWAYS remember that! I now understand & appreciate how IMPORTANT it is for me to LOVE myself & to LOVE ‘on’ myself. I know the importance of loving and embracing who I AM. I didn’t always realize or acknowledge that for myself. However, I could always encourage others and help them realize that about themselves. It took me, having to go through my own life experiences, to fully begin to embrace this truth for myself.  Several years ago, I had a supervisor who used to always tell me that I had to ‘encourage myself’. I would ask her HOW do I do that? What I now understand is that there are many ways in which a person can encourage themselves. Below are two of my favorites: (1) Speaking life affirming words to & over myself to remind me of who God says that I AM & (2) Receiving encouragement through music. I’ve learned that even though we might not always believe the positive words that we speak about ourselves, we must continue repeatin...

It’s OK to experience, PEACE

Life will take us through a gamut of emotions in our lifetime that we must deal with and continue moving forward. One day I was discussing the death of my Dad with someone. I expressed that when someone close to me, passes away, I don’t always feel as if I express my sorrow/grief as I should. Sometimes it takes me days, weeks or even months for it to actually, ‘hit’ me. When it finally does, it manifests itself in different ways. I’ve noticed in the past that when it presents itself, it usually shows up as something totally unexpected, but I can always trace it back to its origin.   Now, I do understand that everyone grieves differently, and perhaps that’s just my way of grieving. When my Dad passed away in January 2020, I was definitely upset that I would no longer be able to see him or kiss his cheeks; No more visits or laughter together; No more making memories together. My only option was to cherish and hold on to the memories that we’ve already made.   I actually too...
