“Emotional intelligence is not a fixed trait that you are born with. It is a skill that you can learn and improve with practice and feedback.”

"Taking care of your wellbeing is essential for living a happy and fulfilling life. It involves taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health. Here are some tips to help you improve your wellbeing”

The first step in falling out of old habits is to identify them. Take some time to reflect on your daily routines and identify the habits that are not serving you. Once you have identified the habits, you can start to work on breaking them.

“As we are winding down 2022, many of us are reflecting on all the different life experiences that took place this year. There were births and deaths, engagements/marriages and separations/divorces. There were job promotions and job losses. There were business start-ups and closures. There were happy times and there were sad times. There were wins and there were losses. I can go on and on, but one thing I know for sure, there is a time and a season for everything. I know that even with all the ups and downs that I faced this year, I am so grateful to still be here!”

“In the attitude of gratitude, as you gather around your dinner tables or hang outside and share laughs, ask each person to say at least 3 things that they are grateful for today!”

For those that follow me on social media, I have been discussing the importance of time and then broke down five (5) of the most time management skills that can help you with your personal and business life. If you missed them, here they are:

1. Planning

2. Decision making and prioritization

3. ‍Setting boundaries and saying no

4. ‍Delegating and outsourcing tasks

5. ‍Building a system and diligently following it

I wanted to dig a little deeper as I wind up this month’s discussion on time management to leave you with a few more skills to consider when developing an effective time management system for yourself.

What does it mean to have high-functioning anxiety? It typically refers to someone who experiences anxiety while still managing daily life quite well. Generally, a person with high-functioning anxiety may appear put together and well-accomplished on the outside, yet experience worry, stress or have obsessive thoughts on the inside.

“Many of us are walking around with a mental health issue and don’t know or can’t recognize the signs or know and feel too embarrassed to share with our family and friends. You are not alone!”

I am not sure about you, but yesterday I had those “Monday Blues” after a busy weekend.

“February was a month focused on relationships and love and what better way to sum it all up than to talk about the “heart of it all”, the spiritual relationship you have between you and God.”

“Yes, it’s February, and yes, it’s that time of month that many singles are thinking about not having a “boo” for Valentine’s Day, while those in relationships or married are thinking about what to get that special someone in their lives for Valentine’s Day. Ironically, there are others thinking about how the hell they are going to piss their significant other off just because of that petty argument or something he/she did not do.”

I decided to push my “reset” button and tell myself that a new month is coming, and I have another opportunity to begin again. Making sure that I set realistic goals based off of “my life’s obligations” and not that of anyone else.

I am a visionary and I dream a lot and often find myself in dazes, at times, imagining what life is going to be like one day. I get excited, sometimes dancing, other times just saying “thank you Jesus”, other times making my favorite noise “whoop whoop” as my confirmation that I receive what I just imagined…and then, something comes up to try to take that in which I just got excited about.

“So just how does this work? For those that weren’t able to join my lives each night, I began with making sure that you cleared your mind to give it a clear path. Once that was done, it was for us to speak the affirmation, feel the affirmation (imagine what it would be like), believe that the affirmation is possible, and then prepare for the affirmation to manifest. I received calls, texts, and DMs about good things happening in people’s lives, as they were with mines. Job promotions, pay raises, new opportunities, healing mentally and physically, hope, unforeseen checks/money, new connections and relationships, closure to negative things, and so much more.”

“In my experience, I have learned that if you speak it, feel it, imagine it, believe it, you will manifest it. The affirmations that we have been speaking each night are happening in the present moment. I remember reading something when I was younger that said that the two words “I AM” are two of the most powerful words ever spoken. I AM can be followed by anything you want. I see “I AM” as a spiritual being dwelling inside of me and that I can be and have anything that I want. I can create what I want. I can do what I want. I can speak what it is I want out of life. I can speak healing and miracles. I can speak financial abundance and wealth.”

I share this post not to brag on myself, but just to say how good and big my God is! My life hasn't always been this good and my journey probably would have killed many. But God, knew that I had a purpose and destiny. God knew that there was a single mother, a business owner, a person lost trying to figure out how to find their way, someone suffering with anxiety/depression/stress, was going to need my story to give hope and believe that All Things are Possible! No matter what it may look like, God has not forgot. Just keep believing, God has not forgot. Repeat after me, I am Worthy!

We all have had that one person, that one family, that we admired or felt like they had it altogether. All of us, at one point in time, have had someone that we have been envious of or wondered how they got this or that. Some of us has even tried to mimic others by purchasing the same clothes, shoes, homes, or re-create their lifestyle. What we don’t know is the process, what it took for them to get where they are, the things they had to go through. All we know is that we want that….not really knowing the cost!

Life coaches are like therapist or counselors but we’re a little different. We are advisors who support personal growth, behavior modification, and goal-setting. Based on the premise that most people can achieve their goals if properly guided, a life coach act as a mentor, assisting the client in the process of taking the life-improving actions necessary to take control of the future. We help you develop strategies and plans to reach your targeted-goals.

Being a working mom is tough! There are no two ways about it. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. If you’re struggling, you should get advice from other moms in the same position and try to follow these tips.

By 8:15am both girls have been dropped off at school and my day begins. I try to walk about 3 miles if I can’t make it to my workout class daily, although I can be honest to say that I have fell off the bandwagon over the last month, just to get my mental right for the day ahead. It’s a day full of phone calls from clients and counselors, emails to check/send, text messages coming through, those damn telemarketing calls coming through noting “Scam Likely” throughout the day but because they’re local numbers you still answer anyway just in case…yes, those! LOL. (on a serious note: if you are reading this blog and know how to get on the “don’t call list” please let me know because I get about 15 or more of these calls daily). Now, I am trying to finish my last errand, housekeeping task, work tasks, grocery store run, or whatever by 2pm.
