Transformation Tuesday

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

As we transform we have to take the time to be honest about where we are in our mind, body, and spirit. Nobody wants to be the odd one out so when mental instability begins to show we tend to try to hide it. You do not need to hide any more.

Mental Illness Awareness Week
Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. However, mental illness affects everyone directly or indirectly through family, friends or coworkers. Despite mental illnesses’ reach and prevalence, stigma and misunderstanding are also, unfortunately, widespread.

That is why each year, during October, NAMI and participants across the country raise awareness of mental illness. Each year, we educate the public, fight stigma and provide support. And each year, our movement grows stronger.

We believe that mental health conditions are important to discuss year-round, but highlighting them during Mental Illness Awareness Week provides a dedicated time for mental health advocates across the country to come together as one unified voice. Since 1990, when Congress officially established the first full week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW), advocates have worked together to sponsor activities, large or small, to educate the public about mental illness. https://www.nami.org/

Don't suffer in silence. Get help. Remember, iron sharpens iron. We ALL need help to be our sharpest.

Monday Motivation

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Any real coffee drinker knows that sometimes you can get a cup of coffee that taste like sweet nectar and sometimes you can get some that taste like the bottom of a shoe (or at least what you think it would taste like), either way you don't stop drinking it. You do however learn the places you can go that will satisfy you need for the warm black stuff.
Much like searching for a good cup of coffee you must seek our people, places, and things that will fill your internal cup. Your motivation cup.

There are certain people that just being in their presence gives you a boost, but when they speak all of your senses are engaged and your are charged for the journey. Along that same line, there are places that you go to just relax and unburden your mind, body, and spirit. You grab a coffee, you sit in your favorite spot and you allow yourself to be recharged (mine is the tub). Finally, there are specific books you read, podcast you listen to or YouTube stations you connect with during certain seasons because that particular author/speaker talk right to you.

If you are saying yeah, I don't have any of those I will indy ask you to start paying attention to your inner self. Often we are not tuned into our times when we are full just emptiness. Pay closer attention to what makes your heart sing. What gives you joy? The coffee is only good if it's made the way you like it.

Friday Focus

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Think about what you're thinking about, Joyce Meyer This is such a simple yet impactful thought. When we understand that your mind is your most power part of you, you will change how you interact with it. 

The more positive we can put in the positive will come out. Just like weeds in your yard. The more grass seed you plant the less space is available  to the weeds. Time plant some seeds. What are you reading? Who are you listening to? Where are you spending time?  These are all critic to the growth of your mind. 

Until Monday  #liveBlessed

Breast cancer is real and has the potential to take you out if you are not in tune with your body. Get to know how every part of your body feels. Just like you know when somebody has been in your stuff and there are no visible signs you need to listen to your spirit when it throws up red flags about your body.

You only get one body and your are the Stewart of it. Are you stewarding it well?
If you have not been screened do so with a quickness. Don't think. Just make an appointment. The minor discomfort of a mammogram is nothing in comparison to chemo or radiation. If you need someone to go with you. Let me know.

Good morning,

As we go through the transformation process it is essential that we practice forgiveness. The hardest person to forgive is ourselves. Time to start.

Monday Motivation

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you! I

Can you believe it is 4th quarter already? Where did the year go?  I want to encourage you to write down three top 3 things you want to accomplish in October. Then I want you to take each of them and determine who and what do you need to help you accomplish said goal.  In other words if my goal is to exercise who is going to hold me accountable to do it and what class will I sign up for?

Use your journal to keep track of your progress. (If you need a 4th quarter journal hit me up. I have some ready to go) Every day that you accomplish your goals celebrate. Let me clarify. Your small victories are important because they get you to the big ones but don't all these small celebrations to make you go backwards. If your goal is to exercise then your celebration should not be a king sized candy bar. Lol Are you getting my drift.

Small victories need small meaningful rewards. Each  victory on something you said helps your body, soul, and spirit believe that what you say is what you mean. You are teaching yourself to believe in you again.

If you need any coaching let me know. I am available to you. Have an awesome day.

Until tomorrow
