From Now On…

Please love yourself today, and everyday after.  Find value in who you are and strength in your own character.  Talk positive about your body and your life.  Nothing will ever be what we want ideally, but its what we have.  Appreciate the opportunity of life, relationships, and love.

Appreciate all that you have gone through and don’t be scared of the future to come, the stuff thats ahead.  

Be happy.  Smile. Be brave. Be honest with yourself.  Change things you don’t like.  Don’t give anyone your happiness and work on your own masterpiece.  The interaction between your heart and your mind.  Peace of mind.  Peace of heart. Peace of body. Peace of soul.

Work to focus on yourself and keep your eyes on internal growth and prosperity.  Keep calm and keep forward.  Don’t live in the past or worry about the future. 

Work is due today, right now on your happiness and self-appreciation.  

You are needed.

You are wanted.

You are important.

You are powerful.

You are an individual.

To Whoever Doesn’t Think They’re Good Enough 

I would say its been a hard day.  Not because anything bad has happened, but because I’ve constantly been thinking.  Thinking too much about stuff.  About me.  About everything.  About everyone.  Situations.  Circumstances. So I decided that I have to write something. This is to those who think they’re not good enough (I’m also talking directly to myself).

Don’t lie to yourself.  You’re more then capable and worthy of anything.  Anything you want.  Anything you need is already yours.  All thats in your way is you and work, but work can be done with effort, determination and motivation. You are the only one who can believe you can and reach whatever is it you’re striving for.

You are good enough.

You are good enough for that love, bravery, compassion, and care you might not be fully giving yourself the credit for.  Believe with one instant thought that you can and go for it.  Not to impress anyone, or to get anything out of it, but to show yourself that you’re good enough and those negative thoughts of can’t obviously were hindrances. 

You are good enough.

You are good enough to apply for things and get it.  If things don’t work out it has nothing to do with your capabilities.  You are needed some place else.  Try again.  Don’t for one second give up or stop believing in who you are.

You are good enough and will never be less than what you see yourself doing or achieving.

As a matter of fact, you are better than good enough.  You are overly capable and able.

6 Things to Remind Yourself

If you only knew the power and strength it takes to continue doing when you want to give up, you will be very proud of yourself. 

Continue being amazing and conquering everyday.

Even when you don’t want to, remember that you accomplish something everyday.  The smallest things, the kindest gestures (even if its toward yourself) make you wonderful.

Keep going…

Making Sense: Toxic Phrases

Joel Osteen Quote 

There are just some things that have happened or that have been said to me that live with me everyday and haunt me at the latest hours of the night

“You are the weakest link”

“I’m disappointed in you”

“I love her more than you”

“I don’t want to put in any effort for you”

“Nah, she ugly”

“You weren’t competative enough”

“Theres nothing I can do to help you”

“You’re a dub”

“I think you should change your profile picture because you are confusing people”

“You are affecting your family”

“Stop being discouraged”

“Get over it”

“People are watching you”

“That’s a sin”

“..but in the Bible it says”

“….going to hell”

“Don’t you want to go to heaven?”

“What happened? You can do better” 

“You can’t do that”

“You’re not supposed to hang out with those type of people”

“I don’t care what you think”

“Oh, I didn’t invite you because…”

“You think too much…”

“Stop saying you’re depressed…”

“God is watching you…”

“Relax its not that serious”

While some of these phrases may seem harmless and others in need of more context, they have been a guide to how I think about myself, how I view situations and circumstances, and how I approach new opportunities.  These phrases have been a hindrance to my mental growth and well being. 

In order to take away from things that have been said that may have scarred and affected how you think, you have to use them as fuel.  Let them scab up and fall off of how you perceive who you are. Use them as excess motivation.

Let what is said to you build you up even if it hurt you.  Let it build your confidence, bravery, power and self-image.  Turn every phrase into a positive, a tactic that can’t halt your progress.

Everyone has those phrases of people who drilled a perception in their head,  use them.  Make them amo.  Make them “I heard that before” phrases that don’t bother you. Move above and beyond.  Move forward.

The 9 Step “I got this” Challenge

Quote Repeat
“I can do this.” Taken from positivelifetips.com. Google images.

Step 1: Wake up a couple minutes earlier then usual

Step 2: Do Not think of anything negative that pertains to the day that is to follow

Step 3: Stretch and take several deep breaths

Step 4: Get out of bed

Step 5: Do what you normally do in the morning (i.e brush your teeth, take a shower, get ready for work/school/the day)

Step 6: Say three times “I Got This!” (actually mean it)

Step 7: Eat breakfast!

Step 8: Think of the first two task you have to complete

Step 9: Leave your home or start your work or morning tasks wherever  or whatever that may be

Although this challenge may seem simplistic and purposeless, the goal of the challenge is to set a positive tone for the day.  While you are breathing, stretching and waking up in the morning, you are setting the scene for how the day will play out.  If you declare that you will have a positive day, then the day will turn out great.  Just by doing your regular morning routines with a positive mindset you are able to  push through any obstacles that may be waiting for you throughout the day.  By saying “you got this,” everything will be seen in a brighter light.  Doing these simple tasks  are just a step toward a more productive you.  Do this every day and you will begin to see that you want to wake up in the morning.

Even though you may be tired and you don’t want to continue on, just telling yourself that you can get up and get the day started helps! Start off your day thinking about only the immediate things, like the things you have to do in the next few hours, don’t think about the whole day.  Chop up your day and think about only the moment you are in.

You can do it! You got this!!
