STOP THE FUNK

Good Day Family, have you ever just been in a funk mood? You woke up and not sure what exactly what was wrong but you did know you weren’t yourself. That is okay. It is okay to be down but you cannot stay in that place. I just want to encourage you all that life tends to get the best of us for a many of reasons, but that does NOT mean we have to let it keep us down.

WE HAVE TO STOP THE FUNK!

Many of us suffer from depression, anxiety, or other mental health problems and we tend to go on with our lives dealing with silent battles. I want to suggest that every day and every night you do a MIND AND BODY CLEANSE. This cleanse consists of self affirmations. Remind yourself how important you are & how important your life is. DONT allow life’s tough days bring you down. (STOP THE FUNK)

CAN IT BE STOPPED BEFORE IT HAPPENS? (It sure can, most times we feel when we are becoming agitated or heading towards a “funk mood”. How do we stop this? We need to learn our triggers, Many of us get overwhelmed from work, not enough time to relax, family issues, relationship problems, health reasons, etc. Sometimes our daily issues cannot be changed but we can still learn how to not get upset or allow those issues to get us. How? We must speak positivity over our lives.

TODAY WILL BE A GREAT DAY, NO MATTER HOW I WOKE UP I WILL MAKE THE BEST OF THE DAY FROM THIS POINT FORWARD . I WILL STOP THE FUNK

SELF GROWTH

SE-LF GROWTH SHOULD BE SOMETHING WE ALL STRIVE FOR

What is meant by self-growth? Simply stated, self-growth is a desire to become a betterversion of oneself every day.

When I think about the word SELF, I think of (ME). (No one else, just ME) This Self THOUGHT is not meant as a selfish act but to remind mySELF that in order to grow I must Handle (my SELF) WITH CAUTION AND CARE

LEARNING TOOLS: Do you know yourSELF? Do you know what triggers you? Do you know what you enjoy? Self Love is the first STEP.. Love is something we should all get a chance to experience, but it starts with loving ourselves FIRST.

GROWTH is like watching a plant sprout. It takes steps. The first step is to plant your seed. That seed in this case is YOU. You must THINK of where your seed will be planted. Think of where YOU want to be in life. Life is the “seed”. The next step is water your seed. This means to nurture you life with positivity and fresh thoughts. The third thing you want to do to GROW is WAIT. Waiting is a crucial step. In life there are steps and nothing great comes by rushing, that is how error occurs. Patience is key. Romans 8:25. “But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” We want things to happen so fast in life that we try to rush everything. LIFE IS GOING TO HAPPEN REGARDLESS, IF WE RUSH IT, OR NOT. But if we just WAIT things will happen just how they are supposed to. Gandhi once said, “to lose patience is to lose the battle” Our battle is our SELF. If we lose ourselves we lose this fight.. In order to remain steadfast and constantly moving forward in life & growing to be a better version of ourselves we must WAIT! After the Wait comes the WATCH > To see it happen before our eyes is one amazing thing. When you look in the mirror and you can see a change in your self, or you see others recognizing your great accomplishments its GROWTH. SELF GROWTH starts with YOU. (You must first put in the work.) Water Your Plant “LIFE”

Ready or Not

Do you remember when you were younger and everyone played hide & seek, and the last phrase you heard before life or death occurred was “ready or not” here I come ? Well that’s literally our life or death NOW .

Life is going to happen whether you’re READY OR NOT . I just want to share how to prepare yourself for the Wild Ride called Life. 🙃

STEP 1 : READY ? (Fasten your seat Belt “ open your eyes , ears & close your mouth , focus your mind” . This step is crucial to being 1 step ahead of life . Always be ready for obstacles. Keep your eyes open and stay alert 🚨. This means to watch for things that you aren’t used to. Pay attention to how others react or respond. Look 👀 or observe. Next you should listen 👂🏾 . Don’t listen to everything you hear. Meaning just because someone says something doesn’t always mean it’s true . Be careful what information you take in. Next you should stay silent 🤫. Sometimes we as people TALK TOO MUCH! We can learn a lot by not saying anything. This does NOT mean you shouldn’t speak up when you know it’s right but, to remain silent when you are trying to tune into something that will help you GROW ! Finally you should Tune in with your Mind 🧠. Take in everything you just heard & seen. This will allow your brain to process and put things into action.

Step 2: NOT ? Sometimes we can try to prepare and life still hits us hard . Unfortunately there’s no rule book or manual on how to do life . So will we ever truly be ready ? Sadly No! (But) we can still move forward. Every situation we encounter we can learn something from it ! Life gives us tools . We just have to know how to put the pieces together with those tools. The tools are our past experiences. Each experience can be added to our Resume “Life” and we Grow from those experiences. Each experience something different may occur and we may make a mistake from that experience but we can use that mistake to figure out how to Be READY (step 1) for the NOT (step 2) so challenging future .

STOP Blocking (Stopping) YOUR Blessings

STOP. BLOCKING. YOUR. BLESSINGS.

Hey family, this is my 2nd blog post in 1 day, and I feel compelled to express how important it is to STOP BLOCKING YOUR BLESSINGS.

What God has for us, is for US. We tend to be so entitled and think that what God has set for us cant be taken away at any given point. We all are so blessed and do NOT even realize it.

THAT IS IT!

THATS THE BLOG FOR TODAY .

LOVE C.

IM BACK

Hello family, Sorry its been so long. Did i tell you guys i moved?

Shame on me! Well family, I moved from my hometown to another city about 2 hours away. Its been a journey. I moved in Jan. of 2021 & have not looked back. This has been a tough road but I must say I’m loving it.

I had a fear of the unknown for forever. I’ve never lived anywhere outside of my hometown and for me to just up and leave with no notice or goodbye to anyone was challenging. I started a new job, enrolled back in school, relaunched my business (S.DEAN.J), Made new friends and embarked on new journeys . This has been a heck of a ride.

I finally have gotten to a place in my life where I am fully happy and proud of the changes I’ve made to get to where I am.

Family I am so excited to say that this Blog is the first one of 7 – 8 months and there is much more to come. Stay Tuned

Love – C
