Self-confidence is an inside job! Try treating yourself as well as you treat those you love. Use positive self-talk to help turn self-criticism into stepping stones to change the way you think about yourself. Quite simply, humans must take care of themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in order to properly function. Loving yourself isn't selfish, it's necessary in order to have a successful life, relationships, business dealings, and to honor how God sees 👀you! Loving yourself is one of the most important things a person can do in order to achieve a satisfying, meaningful and joy-filled life. XoXo 💋 Olivia B.

#wednesdaywisdom The comfort zone is an amazing place of security, comfort, safety, and protection. Stepping out this zone can be scary and lonely, and involves stretching and growing; this is the bit where physical pain comes into it. Below I've listed 5 easy things to help with becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable. Starting with the most important: 1️⃣. Start by noticing what you notice. Each time you do something different notice what your reaction to it is and where this reaction manifests within your body. 2️⃣. Keep a journal or diary of feelings and reactions as you continue to grow through stepping out of your comfort zone. Write three pages in your journal or diary each morning about your ever-expanding comfort zone. Write for at least one month then reflect on your pages, starting from page one, noticing any patterns, useful or not. Use a different colored pen for things that worked for you in becoming more masterful. Again using a different colored pen make note of what definitely did not work. 3️⃣. Ask yourself the following questions in regards to growing and stretching: *What needs to happen now to make it less painful for me? *What are the benefits for me in mastering this new thing (relationship, job, task, etc)? *What am I learning from this experience? *What am I not learning from this experience? 4️⃣. Turn negative self-talk into positive speak. The more often positive self-talk is practiced the more comfortable it will become, until its fully integrated and natural. 5️⃣. Know that it takes time to become comfortable with something new and different. Unfortunately, there is no instant fix or cure (I would've found it by now!🤷🏾‍♀️). The quicker the mastery levels raise the quicker the return of a comfort zone. Some suggestions to help deal with the uncomfortable may be to take up a meditation program, Breath Work, some transformational coaching for inner peace... The outcome of this effort will be living how you want to live, and knowing that you've achieved this through your own efforts. 💪🏾 #motivation

Good Wednesday morning, Are you the kind of person who is your own worst enemy? Do you live your life with doubt, always trying to live up to the standards others set for you? Life can be filled with disappointments if we live each day seeking the approval of others. Remember that you are who you are because of you, not because of another's perception of you. At the end of your life, the only important question will be: "Did you live your life as you saw fit?" 🤔 In all honesty, I can be my own worse enemy. 🤷🏾‍♀️I let people get the better of me. When you let someone get the best of you than you are really letting them win. In life, we are faced with the joy of living life or the pain and disappointment of not living life to its fullest. I have always gotten by the strength and courage that I learned from my mother. One thing that she taught me was that life is a battle and sometimes you have to fight or you will die having never tried. I am in charge of my destiny, and it is up to me and only me to live my life. I know what's important to me, do you??? 😊 Believe in yourself, because the one person you can trust and rely on is you. What do you see when you look in the mirror? Can you see in yourself who you really are, or do you see yourself as others want you to be? Building self-confidence means learning to love yourself. Learn to believe in yourself. It's ok to be your own best friend...💖 Olivia B.

It's that time again when people start thinking about their New Years Resolutions. Usually, it involves, losing weight, quitting smoking, and joining a gym, just to mention a few. What about you? 🤷🏾‍♀️ What News Year Resolution have you planned for this year? Have you considered the benefits of improving your mind? Usually, this is the last thing people consider, but in reality, it's one of the best things you can do for yourself and those around you. People who want to build their muscles 💪🏾know that it takes time to work on specific areas in order for the muscles to develop properly and these same people will pay big bucks to join the local gym to work on these areas and yet they forget to invest in things that will enrich their minds. By enriching your mind and building yourself up mentally you will be able to challenge yourself to take on other areas of your life that need improvement. Your life is influenced by your thought processes. What you think you become...believe that, so improve the things you put into your mind....😊 Does your New Year's Resolution include any mind exercises that transform your thinking into positive thoughts? Sharing is caring, I would love to know👇🏾😃 #newyears #goals #motivation #mind #brain #positivethinking #mindset #resolutions #challengeyourself #enrichyourmind #thinkpositive #inspiration #thoughts #tuesdaythoughts

🤷🏾‍♀️We all go through pressures in life. We can not, however, just lay down and quit. We say when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Diamonds are formed by pressure and force. Are you under pressure? Let it make you into a diamond my dear...💪🏾 Olivia B.
