Don’t let the Nos make you question your worth.

I felt like a big, fat zero.

I felt like a nada, a nothing, a what in the fresh hell is this.😳

I told myself I couldn’t take another no. I got another no…*sigh*

I turned off the phone. I shut off the phone for a day.

I slept. I rose. I started again. I have nos to wade through to my yes.

I feel like a million bucks. Okay, maybe like 50 cents but that’s improvement!😁🧱

Be encouraged, beloveds. Stop judging your worth by your outcomes. There are a million reasons why your yes has not yet come.

Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP.

Heart check Thursday.

I’m just checking on your heart.

How are you doing? How are you feeling? I hope you are doing and feeling well.

If not, why not?

If so, I’m glad.

Make sure you get in some me time today.

What are you looking forward to? If you’re not looking forward to something, why not? Life is what you make of. Make sure not to dredge your days. You don’t know how many you have. Enjoy them.

This has been a quiet morning. This has been a nice morning. I want to share just a bit of it with you.

Have an amazing rest of your day.

Add some quiet time to your day.

I have been adding more quiet time to my day.

I will:

Turn off the television.

Have a quiet cup of coffee.

Watch a few uplifting tiktoks.

Support someone else’s blog or channel and just let my spirit marinate.

I am going to share more of what settles me, moves me, makes me laugh, makes me think etc.

We all have stories to share. Be sure to share some of yours with the world, beloveds. This world NEEDS what only YOU can provide.

Pour some joy on it.

Pour some love on it.

Pour some faith on it.

Pour some perseverance on it.

Pour some tenacity on it.

Pour some belief on it.

Pour some positivity on it.

You have spent enough time pouring fear, doubt and tears over your circumstances. Enough already!

There are no victims here. There is always something that we can do and try. There is always someone we can reach out to. There is always the next step.

I woke up with the sun this morning. Turned on my uplifting music. Blasted said music in my headset.

I spent much too much time last year in a woe as me state of mind. I am so glad I learned how to turn that around.

Hard has taught me that hard ain’t nothing but a word!

We get in life what we put into it. What are you putting into your life, beloveds?

Get after it. You’ve thangs to do!

You don’t have to be anxious.

You don’t have to be anxious.

You don’t have to be frustrated.

You don’t have to be fretful.

You can choose to be joyful.

You can choose to be optimistic.

You can choose to be hopeful.

The glass can be half full. It doesn’t have to be half empty. Life is what we make it. I got up early this morning, determined to enjoy my day. All of it.

I’m not going to wait around, for a big check, in order for me to be happy. I’m not going to wait, for a knight in shining armor, to arrive at my door, before I’m happy. I choose to be happy right now.

What do you choose?

Note: I got up early this morning. I refuse to let fear and doubt try to control the day and message. I got things to do. So do you. Let’s get it!!

Perspective is everything. What does your day look like? What do you choose to do within your day? It’s up to YOU.

We choose to give away our agency. I got up this morning and decided the day would be fantastic. I’m going to deal with whatever happens inside of this day.

How about you?

It’s all about the grind…NOT!😳

The world tells us that life is ALL about the grind.

It’s not. Constant grinding,  beloveds, does nothing but grind us down. Eventually, we find ourselves:

Burned out.

Disappointment.

Disillusioned.

Yes, working hard is necessary. Still, we MUST take the time to:

Reflect.

Reset.

Reassess.

It’s important to keep up maintenance on our heart, mind, soul, and spirit. We MUST take care of ALL of us.

Sadly, too many of us put our life purpose as chasing a bag. Life is soooooooooooo much more than money.

I am learning how NOT to grind myself into dust. I work hard. I rest just as hard…hahahahaha!

I just stopped by to encourage someone to rest. Take a break. Take some time for yourself. Tell guilt and have to to shut up!

Put your stress to good use.

My nerves have been shot, lately.

The stress of job hunting has my tummy on high alert. So much so, beloveds, me and the bathroom are talking engagement. 😳🤣

I do NOT allow the stress to get to me. I make myself get up and DO something. Eventually, the nerves settle down.

See, nerves get bored easily! Nerves absolutely detests:

Joy.

Laughter.

Dancing.

Singing.

Praying.

Companionship.

Action.

Positive thinking.

Positive self talk.

Funny movies.

Chick flicks.

Reading.

Journaling.

Calling a friend.

Being a friend.

There are a variety of things, beloveds, you can DO when feeling stressed.

Try one or two!

You will be surprised how fast your mind refocuses when you give it something to do.

Life is short. Try not to spend too much of it scaring yourself half to death with thoughts of gloom, doom, and despair about what may could possibly happen.

Be encouraged.

Note: Anxious woke me at the crack of dawn. I told anxious to fire up things so I could blog a bit. Anxious took off. Appears I have made anxious a bit nervous with wanting to SO something. 😳🤣🤗
