Oftentimes, there are things we want to do. There are places we want to go. There are goals we want to accomplish that may seem unattainable. Sometimes, when we look at the situation we are in, all those things seem dang near impossible. I get that. How can we dream bigger when we are caught up in just trying to survive, or trying to get through the day or battling health concerns or consumed with worry about what loved ones are going through? Sometimes, it never seems like the right time.  Catalyst All the  reasons we can  breath, light, night, fight, flight, foresight  surging through us, propelling us   forward Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform !

It is a good day to let go of what no longer serves you. There are times when we not only get stuck in life, but we can also get stuck on people, things, or ideas that we once held dear but have since lost their luster. Sometimes the reality of a thing no longer aligns with the fantasy we have built in our heads. It is no longer serving us or maybe it never was, and we have been waiting for it to meet our expectations, but it, they, whatever keeps failing us or it has run its course. At some point, we have to recognize when it is time to let go and know that it is okay. Letting go is an important aspect of stress management. Learning to let go is a gateway to peace. Peace of mind and peace of spirit.  Article: How to Let Go of What You Can't Control SUBSCRIBE!  

Affirmation: I am growing through every experience.  Journal prompt as it relates to the above: I am most proud of my ... Growth is part of our life's journey. When you start out your energies are focused on growing physically, developmentally, and cognitively. As we grow older into adulthood and maturity we then have to grow emotionally and mentally. Sometimes it is hard to do that if we fail to understand the importance of working through our emotions in order to learn from them and resolve them.  In many instances, some of us spend more time running from uncomfortable feelings in which we choose to mask them because it seems easier. However, the more we run the more difficult it becomes to deal with them and we are left with a life we do not recognize because we are trying to find other ways to cope with the consequences of our feelings.  A simple place to start is to write them down. Journal through them as it can help you prioritize your difficult feelings and reflec...

We  Don't root for ourselves enough. Most people spend a lot of time in their heads, talking negatively to themselves. We need to spend more time hyping ourselves up. When those negative thoughts sneak in we need to banish them immediately. When we think of all the ways that we can't do something or all the reasons why we are not worthy of something we need to stop those thoughts in their tracks. We need to flip them upside down and turned them into motivating thoughts, positive affirming thoughts.  I always come up with excuses as to why I can not get things done. These excuses are mostly based on procrastination. I am a work in progress with flipping my own thoughts. I have to tell myself that I get things done. I am calculated and cunning with my time. Sometimes, we have to stop and also remind ourselves of the things that we have accomplished. Remind ourselves that we wake up every day and push. That in itself is worth a little self-promotion.  So go ahead and root fo...

Drew Barrymore  came out a few years ago on SZA’s Ctrl album, and it is a whole mood. There are lyrics in there that call out to me because sometimes we just feel a certain way and it is okay as long as we do not stay there.   I get so lonely I forget what I'm worth. We get so lonely we pretend that it's worse. I'm so ashamed of myself, think I need therapy. Sometimes we fall into that trap and allow ourselves to be treated as if we are worthless. We may find ourselves in situations that we would not normally be in. It happens. That is life. Remember that you are worth all the treasures in this world and definitely worth the effort to pull ourselves out of a less than desirable situation. Do not ever forget your worth because as long as you draw breath you are worthy of it and nothing is more important and precious than breath. I love it when she sings “Collect your soul, get it right.” I think of this for myself. Our self-worth is a matter of our soul. It is a matter of ...

The last few months have been tough for people around the world. So many have lost loved ones and have not been able to properly say goodbye. So many have been living in some level of fear and trying to protect themselves while battling others that could care less. Coronavirus aka COVID19 has taken a mental toll on the world.  In America, it is not only affecting millions of people but also exposing our vulnerabilities. That's what this virus does. It finds the vulnerabilities in the body but also finds vulnerable points in society. Reports have been circulating about how it has been disproportionately affecting Black people in the US. There are a whole host of reasons why this is happening. Overall, it is exposing the lack of balance in how we get treated in a place where we are still working through subtle systematic oppression in education, justice system, and the healthcare system just to name a few.  If that is not enough, let us add the recent acts of blatant prejudice a...

I am jubilant.  : feeling or expressing great happiness and triumph. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ #positiveaffirmations #affirmations #overjoyed #exultant #triumphant #joyful #rejoicing #exuberant #elated #wellbeing #selfreflection #selfesteem Affirmations are so cliché, but clichés exist for a reason. They are a constant needed reminder in our lives. Too often, we forget how magnificent of a creation we are because we get bogged down with life. That can lead us not to appreciate the regular moments. Moments in which we are not in strife. I am grateful for those simple moments. In those simple moments, I claim jubilance. I am jubilant.
