Discipline is Key

I’m a person that is deeply rooted in my emotions so this has been, and sometimes still is a struggle for me. A lot of times we get stagnant because we don’t want to do the work when we aren’t “feeling” it. The truth of the matter is you have two options. 1) Push through it and get it done anyway 2) Wallow in your toxic vibe and procrastinate until the next time you’re in a good mood. Either way it’s going to feel shitty. If you do the work anyway, the feeling will be short lived because you’ll have progressed toward your goal. If you don’t the weight of that feeling will multiply because you now feel behind the ball. So suck it up buttercup and get it done. 

Know Your Worth

While people are responsible for how they treat you, you are equally responsible for accepting it. Someone disrespecting and devaluing you will never be your fault, however, once you’ve realized this is the way they are going to behave you owe it to yourself to speak up and/or remove yourself from the situation. In many cases, that’s easier said than done but you have to. If you accept their behavior, excuses, mistreatment, you are teaching them that’s an acceptable way to handle you.

That was something I had to realize the hard way. When someone shows you a toxic pattern of behavior and you continue to subject yourself to it you become apart of the problem. You’ll find yourself in a stagnant space of complaining, yet you are not moving forward. You’ve got to love yourself enough to let go, no matter how scary it is. Holding on will only kill your spirit. 

Wax On Wax Off

When I first started I swore I would never wax. I dreaded being waxed and didn’t trust myself to wax anyone else. Then last weekend I went to Premiere Orlando and fell in love with the process. I didn’t want to wax because I allowed my lack of knowledge and experience equate to an inability to do so. WRONG. I went after the knowledge I was lacking and just started doing it, now there’s no going back.
