Do you find it hard to move and let go? Are you still playing the victim to your past girl? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Within each of us lives a powerful capacity for mending and transformation—to stick up for one's true self. To achieve this we must free ourselves from the preceding story. Once we give up old hurts, we develop from that suffering and learn to distinguish happiness. Put differently, we let go to bear more! If the past has been dreadful, (move on) we have to quit re-experiencing it, playing the victim in the story again and again. Each time we relive a memory, particularly a past argument, or an old injury, or won't let go, we keep it active in our spirits and in our bodies. And I can ensure this also stays on our face....hence the wrinkles 😉😩 How do you choose to let go today? What do you choose to let go of? Need a little help? Olivia B.

Do you or do you know someone who suffers from a narcissistic person in their life? Have you been longing to heal from the wounds that hinder your growth in your life and relationships? Join me in my FB GROUP 👥 𝙐𝙣𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙠 for a month-long series Healing Wounds: Mommy & Daddy Issues This week as this series kicks off I will start off with our Mothers... Narcissistic mother’s syndrome is a form of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) which is present in an estimated 0.6-1.0% of the population. The condition, and abusive impact it has on hundreds of thousands of daughters around the world, receives little public attention... I will dive into the traits they portray, how we as women take this behavior into our lives, relationships and business! In order to heal the little girl in us, we must be honestly willing to explore some of those traits that are holding us back! Topics this week: •Recognizing The Signs •Toxic Amnesia •Detaching from a Narcissist Mom: Take it One Day at a Time •How to not let those behaviors affect your relationships Each week I will give you a journal prompt to answer alone or we can discuss when I go live... I look forward to exploring this topic with each of you, learning how to understand and make peace with our childhoods is one of the most healing and empowering experiences you could ever go through. *I’m not a licensed professional, these discussions will be from experiences I have had and healed from! If you know anyone who could benefit from this series, please feel free to invite them into the group! ☺️💓 Looking forward to an awesome discussion, also if there is anything you would like for me to cover please DM, text, or email...link in bio!

Happy Monday friends, here's to another week of quarantine and I know it's hard to focus on the blessings in life when so much trouble is learking around every corner! And there are two types of a people, a proactive and a reactive. The latter always see the negative, like trouble, and keeps on blaming life circumstance to other people or things. On the other hand, the former sees the positive of life. They focus their energy and time in resolving troubles so that they can move on to more important things. They don’t blame or complain. Now, it takes time for you to reflect, what type of person are you? Which person will you be this week? Have a great week, and stay safe...

What a strange paradox; the King is coming, the people rejoice, singing ‘Hosanna in the highest!’ yet fail to understand that the King they welcome is the Servant King, the King who washes his disciples’ feet, the King who came not with an army but a weapon so powerful that not even death could resist, the sacrificial love of God laid out upon a Cross. Lord God, as we sing our ‘Hosannas’ today may we remember also that which you were riding toward; the suffering and rejection, pain and humiliation, the cruel Cross. And let us look forward to the joy of Easter Day when you rose from death to reign forever. Help us, as we daily lay our lives before you, to live the resurrection life that acknowledges Jesus as Lord and King over our lives. Even if you are worshipping inside, online, by phone...it’s still the Word of God! Have a beautiful Sunday 🙏🏾 #palmsunday🌿 #haveagoodsunday

Some of you are used to working from home, but others like myself are not🤷🏽‍♀️! With the world 🌎 shutting down around us, we are all now stuck inside! So for those of you who are going stir crazy, here are few tips to help keep your sanity during this pandemic: 1️⃣ Eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Reduce or eliminate caffeine (coffee, black and green tea, cola drinks, and chocolate). Because caffeine is a stimulant, it can make you feel more anxious. 2️⃣ Exercise. It relieves tension and provides a timeout from stressful situations. 3️⃣ Try to take time everyday to slow down and do something you enjoy, even if it is just for a few minutes. Reading a magazine, playing with your dog, listening to music, reading a book or any other activity that helps you forget the stresses of your day can calm you and help you remember what is important. 4️⃣ Work at being cheerful and optimistic. Use humor to lighten difficult situations.😁 5️⃣ Take very long, relaxing deep breaths anytime you notice you're feeling stressed. 6️⃣ If the nature of any of your tasks allow it, call upon a colleague who can help you. If you've never done this before, now is the perfect time to start. The nice thing about this sort of arrangement is your colleague will most likely send jobs your way when he or she gets overloaded. (Warning: do not hand over tasks that must be carried out only by YOU as the principal of the business. Your reputation is important...duh) 7️⃣ Organizing and simplifying your life. If one of your main sources of stress is the sheer number of things that need to be done, getting organized should help you feel more at peace. A good sense of organization will also make you more efficient. Simplifying your life also should help you feel less overwhelmed. (Keep a clean workspace...like your co-workers are watching 👀) Set Achievable Daily Goals. If you finish a task ahead of schedule, start the next... but stick to a definite cut-off time each day. What you are doing this week is to set up a system that will continue to work for you. Follow these tips and before you know it, you may never want to go back to work!!! #thursdaytips

#dailyremindertoself Here's a reminder I posted in my FB Group and thought I would share it here as well...I know we are all in our feelings during this time!!! These last couple of days have been tough for me, as Mentor/Coach who also suffers from depression and anxiety I like to be transparent with you all! My anxiety is on a all-time high right now because I'm usually triggered by death and suffering! When the virus hit my dad's facility, I now dread getting phone calls from there...praying it's not about him! I keep thinking that I will become those people on the news that can't bury their loved ones and that he will die alone! Yes, I'm a praying woman and have faith that things will work out, but I also suffer from anxiety and sometimes I let my thoughts get the best of me! I tell you all this because it's ok to feel your feelings, just, please don't let them overtake you! The feelings we shame and hide away are still a part of us even during the healing process! Have a great day, Lady O 🦋 #thursdays #thoughts💭 #feelyourfeelings #itsokaynottobeokay #lifestruggles #corona #mentor #transformationcoach #ashestobeautymentoring #mentalhealthrecovery
