You Are Worth The Investment

-

 


Do you think you are worth bringing the things you dream about into reality? What is it that you want? Be clear about it and make sure it has nothing to do with anyone else. Your desires are your thing, so do not consume yourself with how anyone else will think or feel. That is not your responsibility. I remember when I wanted a particular life so bad, I could taste it, and it had nothing to do with anyone else. It was what I saw when I went to sleep at night. It was what I imagined when I closed my eyes to gather myself after a long day of working to build someone else’s dream; it was what I talked about to friends and family, even what I wrote about in my journal. For a while, I believed in the dream, just not that I could attain it. I had to heal and evolve before I understood that I was worth the investment. I am not talking about someone investing in me; I mean investing in my future and where I desire to go. My investing started with counseling and coaching, and I have not stopped since. 


Do you feel that you are worth it? Are you worth making change for the better? It does not have to be the way it was. I know that’s all you saw with your natural eyes, but what about your spiritual eye? What do you see? I know it is significant and can be a little scary, but you can have it. One step at a time, you can have it all. It is time for you to live and not just exist. If you are a parent like myself, I grew tired of the same routine day after day, which did not include anything that would get me on track to what my soul was telling me to do. I got lost in the shuffle, and it took me years to find my way out of the maze. I am free today, and I am happiest because I have grown to love and believe in my ability rather than shrink them due to a lack of confidence due to the reoccurring self-abandonment.


Do you know where to start? I know it can be weird not knowing what the first step should be. But any effort different from the norm is a significant first step. Have you hired a coach? That would be an ideal step. Make sure you are honest with your coach; you get the maximum benefit when you are open and willing to do what it takes to fight against self-sabotage. For some, a counselor or a therapist is a significant first step. I had a lot to unpack, even to see the origins of where I needed to start the work. Therapy was like demolition to me. Once I had a clear view of the foundation,  I could heal, preventing any significant repairs moving forward. Imagine seeing a beautiful house that caved in because the foundation was faulty. 


Here is a challenge for you. Grab a copy of the book The Coaches Connect this book is loaded with amazing stories from 10 Life Coaches who are ready to help you go from goal to accomplished. I know you have been praying for a sign, and this is it; this is the opportunity you need to change the trajectory of your life for the better.

Psychologically Unsafe Living Environments

-

  "My living environment began to get highly toxic and uncomfortable to the point where I cried a lot, was angry with myself, and was in a state of depression." -Brittany D. Jackson   I felt this! I could relate to the author as she detailed how hard it was for her to live in one toxic environment after the other. These environments take a toll on us mentally and emotionally, making it difficult to trust others. Suppose you have ever felt extreme anxiety, low self-esteem, worthlessness, or feeling drained being around certain people more than likely. In that case, you are living in or have lived in an unsafe environment. Most of us have, at some point, experienced these living conditions at an early age in our childhood homes.   I grew up in psychologically unsafe living conditions. There was access to designer things and everything else to look good on the outside, but the internal structure was in shambles. I could not wait to get out on my own; there was no reason for me t

The Pits I Dug

-

  I contributed to a book about the pits I landed in due to how I responded to life’s challenges. How I responded became a detrimental habit I fought to break free from. I was destroying my life from the inside out. Life was grand when things were good, but emotional turmoil was my portion when the toxic pattern kicked in.   While journaling yesterday, I thought about my pit experiences. Yes, experience (s). There were many, some I dug for myself. One author in the same book referenced above talked about how she stayed too long in terrible relationships. As I journaled, I cried, thinking about how my decision to remain in spaces longer than needed caused great mental and emotional calamity. Yes, I experienced abuse mentally and emotionally. I experienced betrayal trauma, but the red flags were clear before getting too deep. I had dreams; I heard song lyrics and even had a few messages warning me, but I overrode my intuition. My gut screamed to run the other way, but I stayed.

Taking Your Power Back

  ARE YOU READY TO TAKE YOUR POWER BACK? I need you to have that enough is enough anger when you say this because I am serious. Before we get too deep, if you want to know what people mean when they make this statement, I will explain it in one sentence. Having an understanding makes this declaration even more powerful. So here goes when you regain your power, you face your wounds and deal with them .   ●   It means you are not allowing the pain to darken you but taking steps to heal and become a better version of yourself. No one will have the power to gaslight you because you have established boundaries and built confidence. You have taken your control back. ●   It means you have identified your triggers and are working on unpacking them. You have stopped complaining about what happened and have rewritten the narrative. ●   To take your power back means not allowing anyone else to silence you.   If we do not do the inner work, the pain still holds power to dictate every move we
