Quick Sum up - Day 22

TODAY'sQUOTES

"You will never demonstrate [abundance] until behind your mental attitude is the belief that you have received before you have received that thing which is sought". "Clear out all the suggestion of limitation, and the belief in poverty and lack, and the belief that "I have to work for a living". These things hypnotize people and bind them. The whole thing is impersonal... Don't acknowledge bondage. If you meet a successful man, you will find that this man has a consciousness of success. He never talks about poverty and limitation. If you meet a man who is not a success, he is always talking about failure. Don't let people talk to you about failure. If a man wants to be sick and poverty stricken, that's his own business." - Ernest Holmes, was an American writer and spiritual teacher.

"I am who I am, that is that. I am who I am thank God, I am". - Guru Singh Nobody can "make you feel" anything. What you feel about life and the people and situations of your life are the perceptions, decisions and interpretations that YOU BRING to life. Now, as a child, we don't know this. And so we grow up and assume that mom, dad, brother, sister, bully, world, government, boss, etc. have control over our thoughts and feelings. We are not taught that we are outsourcing our power. And then we step into blame and lose even more power. Our thoughts and emotions are an internal thing. Nothing "out there" can make you feel something "in here" without your consent. So, when it comes to people who we say have "made us" feel a certain way, it's time to stop saying that, feeling that and believing that. Right now, in this moment, it's time to take our power back. Whoever used to "make you feel" a certain way, their days in your head and controlling your emotions are over. Let's stop and see what decisions we made in the past about how we would let other people effect us. Let us talk to that younger version of ourselves and tell our younger self that we love it, and that we are now in control. Let us apply an empowering meaning to the past and take back our power. Let us recognize how we have decided to outsource our power and blame others. Let us take back the blame of others and take responsibility for our actions. Let us forgive ourselves for doing so and then forgive everyone else for their role in the trauma of our past. They didn't do anything "to us". They have simply acted and we have applied a meaning to their actions. We do not need to make extreme cases of abuse and violence right... That is not what I am saying.  What I am saying is that what happened, happened and it's time for a new meaning, so we can be free. If we let the traumas of our past dictate how we feel now, then they are still winning. No more. Let's let go. Let's take our power back, let's forgive ourselves, them and move on to living the joyful, abundant and beautiful life The Uni-verse has in store for us.

TODAY'sAFFIRMATIONS

I celebrate admitting when I'm wrong for I come one step closer to Love.   I focus on being Love, not making other people wrong.   I am always learning and getting better.

Mental Block- Day 21

21!!!  That number actually just changed my mood a tad bit.  Not much though.

I'm not in a very good mood right now.    Eff it!  I'm angry and I just want to scream.   Angry isn't the only emotion I am feeling right now. Bitter, confused, anxious, tired.   I usually don't get like this very often but today (not even the entire day)  just in the last few hours the anger overcame me.   On the car ride home from Business Training the feeling just over took me.

Sidenote: Omg Omg!!!  Rain on Me by Ashanti just played on my Pandora.  The lyrics are on point right now!!! I mean of course I'm not in a horrible relationship with someone that is sucking the life out of me.... Or am I ??   

I paid close attention to this feeling since it is not frequent.  Tried to pin point where it is coming from. What I found out is that I am mad at my damn self for a few reasons.

• I'm mad that I didn't win last month's competition. ( I wanted my damn T-shirt)

• I'm upset that its half way thru the month and I am no where close to winning this month's incentive! (Which would solidify my spot for an all expense paid trip to Universal Studios Orlando!! I mean everything paid for. My company is shutting down the park for just our people. No lines. Just Food and Fun for absolutely FREE!) 

• Mad that I'm 21 days in and although there has been a little movement and progress in my journey, I don't feel like I have put my all in or I am where I thought I should be by the 3rd week.     

• Work is slow and I have everything to do with that! Almost everything. Florida politics are pretty slow right now. But still ... have I been putting in my all? NO!

Okay but the biggest issue right now is when I get like this , I start to sulk even more in what I haven't done, what I don't have, my lack.   Instead of focusing on abundance. All these opportunities are still right in front of me but I am mentally blocked.   I just need to switch my perspective! And more importantly I need to believe in myself and everything that I do.    Perspective = Belief = Choices.   When your perspective changes , your belief changes and then you can make better choices.     I have not been believing!!  And I have not been speaking things into existence, in other words -- blessing that which I don't have yet.  That may be hard to believe because I have been really trying to encourage myself to get things done.  But I realized they aren't getting done because of my perspective which is effecting my belief system in every aspect of my life!!!    OKay , I'm calming down.


 I need to read some scriptures on Faith and seeing past your current situation.   If you know of any please comment with the verses. Thank you.


Good Night.

Gut Busters! - Day 17 & 18.5

Something is happening.   Something is growing.   And that something is my GUT!  Lol,  Not the few inches of fat surrounding my lower abdomen  but my intuition, my spiritual ear.  Here They come again ,  "Always follow your gut."   

I was laying in bed the other night trying to drift off to sleep and I started to think about all the things I have made decisions on.   I don't mean just saying " okay I don't want this to happen anymore" . I'm talking about D-E-C-S-I-O-N-S meaning I killed all other options. I came to terms with what I had been doing to cause the issue,  decided that it would never happen again and put in the work to make it happen.   Since I'm on an honesty streak,  that night I was thinking about how I made the decision to never overdraft my bank account EVER again!  When I sat down with a friend (same friend from the Wale story and whose Bday I recently celebrated) she helped me analyze my finances and see where my money was going.  I was spending hundreds of dollars a month in overdraft fees!!!   This has been an on going issue in my life forever.  But only recently had I actually said to myself , 'I can't keep doing this' .   I prayed a finance prayer , put in the work , and for over a month now my account has been in a positive standing with the bank.     It sounds petty and small but when I was thinking about all of this that night I had an Ah-Ha moment! 

My beautiful GUT , told me all you have to do is decide.   All you have to do is tell yourself enough is enough, realize what you want and just put in the work.   Simple as that.   We as humans usually make it harder than it has to be.    That was Wednesday night , same day I considered getting up even earlier to start my workouts. Guess what!  Thursday morning I rose at 5:45am with no hesitation , no grumbling and watched my favorite preacher, Joyce Meyer , drank my tea and was out the door in full workout mode by 6:30am!!!!!!     And all I did was decide . 

I was very surprised at myself because I am usually a slow do-er.   It takes me months and months to do what I thought about doing months ago.     But not any longer because my Gut is stronger!  LOL( that rhymed).     Harnessing this power in all the aspects of my 90 day journey is what I plan on doing next, today , right now. 

Brand New - Day 16

Morning!!!  

I am feeling brand new .. Like I just want to shout !  This new layout is absolutely spectacular and it was designed by a very special friend of mine.  The sassy, fashionable, ultra intelligent, author of The Linden Buzz took time out of her busy day to make my blog way more OFFICIAL and I can't thank her enough for it.

One thing I want to shout about -- I worked out this morning @ 7am!!  Go me!  I live in a small beach town in Sunny South Florida, so going any time after 7am would be brutal because of the heat.   My workout consists of a power walk about 1.4 miles to our Bicentennial Park that sits right on the intracoastal. Its so peaceful and quiet in morning.  I always look over the edge with hopes of seeing some of God's beautiful creatures. Today I got lucky and saw a family of jelly fish!  It was definitely a sight to see , I took pictures but can't figure out how to up load them to here.

2nd thing to shout about-  Once I reached my destination I pulled out my sheet of affirmations and read them while stretching at the park.  Double Whammy!   I'm all about maximizing my time , especially in the mornings.   I know this sounds crazy but on my walk back I was seriously contemplating rising even earlier to start my work out by 6:30am.  

Excitement to really complete my 90 day mission is taking over my entire mind body and soul!  (oK, Jo it took 15 days to get started)  But who cares as long as I don't quit.       Later today I'm going to post exactly where I am currently with all the things that I want to improve on .  Eeeek!

Have a blessed day.

Can I get a re-do ? - Day 15

I'm tired.

I ate Pizza today :'[

Not much else.


Currently overjoyed with the thought of sleeping and waking up. Tomorrow is a new day!

Sometimes you have to Encourage Yourself - Day 14

Isn't it A-Mazing how the Universe always and I mean always gives you what you need, exactly when you need it !   Never has the Universe ever failed me and I can boldly say the same for you too.

Lately I have been questioning the idea of really being able to live a life without Fear.  I have been asking myself , is it really possible to have an abundant life and have everything you need and want. Can all my goals be accomplished in 90 days just because I put it out into the Universe?  Do I have the complete power to change and create anything in my life?   YES YES YES!  The answer is Yes !     I know this , right?! Its everything I have been learning for about 2 years now.  

Today after business training, a few people, at different times gave me super encouraging words about how to make my business move and grow.   These were people I barely talk to , one of them I didn't even know .  But it was as if  the words "I'm down, out of the game and confused on how to jump back in "  were written all over my face.  Because everything they were saying to me was exactly what I have been thinking about for the last few days.  Living life on my own terms is right around the corner.  I just have to take action! 

I think this video sums it all up !  Take the 2 mins and watch it 

 I figured out that my belief dwindles because I am not doing anything to keep myself encouraged and excited.   A voice in my head told me to write down a few affirmations and get up in the morning and read them.   That was a few days ago and I didn't listen to the voice and now it just keeps getting louder.   Affirmations are soooo powerful.  They remind me of what I am working towards, how good it will feel when the my goals are accomplished and that I am a child of God.  A child who can speak what she wants into the Universe and with confidence in Him, I can expect to receive it all!   

Overall today was a good day.  I'm still not getting up early enough to work out!  ugh!!!!! I need motivation and self encouragement for my workouts.  Workout affirmations....anyone??

Got to write these affirmations. GoodNite All . Sleep tight. 

Sunday Funday! - Day 13

I'm back.

I love Sundays!  Church , relaxation , business conference call , then Midnight Meditation with Shanel Cooper Sykes. (Check her out and join in on the meditation!  She is a phenomenal woman, with a lot to say)  to clear my mind and start my week .
I won't bore you with all updates from the days I missed.  But I will say that I everything is coming together inch by inch.  There is a lot of balance required, a lot of sacrifice and plenty of faith needed to complete this journey.


The mini victories--   I have been sticking to my 11pm curfew during the week!   Eating much better!  Went grocery shopping last Wednesday and haven't spent money eating out = extra money to save.    
Victories that are yet to arise --  Rising early to get my workout in,  saving the money that I've saved (does that make sense?), 2 new names a day, 5 new trials a day, beauty days, game planning to really get  started to pay off my debt.....I'm gonna stop this list is out weighing my other list.   Which means the balance is off!

Champions make come backs though!

I’ve been reading a fascinating book by Steve Siebold titled 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class. He says,

CHAMPIONS ARE COMEBACK ARTISTS

Donald Trump was $9 billion dollars in debt in the early 1990s, did you really believe he was washed up for good? After Lance Armstrong survived cancer, did anyone really think he wouldn’t race again? How about Christopher Reeve? Did anyone really bet against him making an international impact to help people with spinal cord injuries, once he made the decision to do it? There’s an old saying among the world class: “A bet against a champion is a bad bet.” I couldn’t agree more. Amateurs quickly become demoralized by setbacks and defeat, and quietly slink back to their comfort zones. Professional performers know that large scale success is based on a series of comebacks. They believe that setbacks are set-ups for comebacks.

Do it! Do it! Do it!  ... I have no choice but to do it.   These blog updates(which I promise will start to come everyday) are the fun part . But Doing it is the only part that counts for something.

Romans 8:18 (Amplified Bible)   NITE! 

Did ya Miss me???

Sorry Sorry Sorry!  Its been over a week since I updated.    I apologize,  sincerely.  

I can't really even write right now .... Its early morning and all I can think about is death. Which ultimately means I am thinking of Life . Life then death.... life then death. Life then death.  Sometimes it feels like we'll stay forever ... but its soooo Temporary.     When you know things are going to end , you are a little more free with it.  You let loose and just have fun with it.    For example think of  a fun weekend trip that you've taken, miles away from your home . Remember that confidence, that I don't care attitude , the free as a bird feeling you get when you walk down the streets of a different city.  The fun guy that you are so flirty with , just because you know it will end.  All this audaciousness comes from the fact that you know it will all be over soon-- so why hold back.

Why hold back ever??  Life will end . Your life will end.  It could be tomorrow.  A year from now, 40 years from now...who knows.  To me not knowing is the beauty.    

" I am glad I was given the gift of today.  Only you know when this will all be over , Lord.  So help me and empower me to conquer everything set out for me today. To have no fear and walk with boldness. To be slow to anger and quick to smile. Today is an awesome day.   You gave me life today and I promise to give life back. "   #affirm New Morning Affirmation. 

Seriously. Take a 5 minutes and ask yourself, what would I do if I knew I'd be leaving here soon?
