Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
2020 Vibes
What are you leaving behind in 2019? As we enter this new decade, I feel a different type of energy coming through. This dope new “I got this” energy. The energy is hard to explain but let me just say I’ve been feeling myself lately. The transition into a new year is a great time for self-reflection and how you want this upcoming year to be different than your last.

New Year Resolutions
Every. Single. Year It's the same old story. 31st December comes and we are all making these amazing goals for the next year. Lose weight, get a job, get a dog (this should always be on a list), work out 5 times a week. You get the theme. January kicks in and for about five days, for the most part, you keep the new year resolutions and then suddenly you stop doing dry January because there was a huge night out that could not be missed.

What's Your 2020?
Do you have it all figure out for the New Year 2020?, to be honest I thought I did; but the truth is I don't, and I realize it's okay. I wanted to do so much this year, and I know the year just beginning, but I just couldn't wait to get started, then it hit me, start what? I did not have a clue and I still don't. I guess my New Year's Resolution was inside my head, or just a dream I have not waken up from. New Year's 2020, got me thinking; I should just be happy that I survive another year, and I will be able to figure it out one day at a time, so my New Year's Resolution is I don't have any because I AM MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION!

tracking change
One day, I woke up old, fat, and tired. Full disclosure: I had also gone to bed old, fat, and tired – I wasn’t the victim of an evil, Rip-Van-Winkle spell. But, for whatever reason, on this particular morning, I came face-to-face with the reality of how far gone I was, and I suddenly wanted to do something about it. I wanted to feel better. I knew it was possible. I knew women my age and older, who had the same health challenges that I had, but who were like virtual Energizer bunnies compared to me.

The Necessity of Experiential and Personal Development Plans
Consider for a moment that your experience is the product of your actions, thinking, capabilities, opportunities, challenges, and literally your operational living. Think about you and the experience of being you as a business venture with you at the center of it. There are many departments that take care of the things that you don’t have to think about and the details of reports are brought to mind so you can choose the best course of action moving forward. Running a successful business can be harder than you think and you have to find time for yourself amidst the flurry of activity within the habitual routines to function at your best. There’s so much to do and so little time to do it. Even in the highest efficiency operations, there are many things that fall by the wayside on a daily basis and that doesn’t even take into account any emergency that arises. Honestly, it can feel hard sometimes to even do the basic things that we need to keep ourselves together. Our daily experience affects getting a good night’s sleep, our level of hydration, if we get an uninterrupted meal, if we’re craving intimacy, and so much more. Similar to new parents feeling the burnout and tradeoffs from a disjointed routine we will start to imagine the lost time made up for, and what it will be like once their kids are grown. Before life gets to survival mode and dreaming of better days ahead, you’ll need to take a good look at yourself, where you are lacking, where you are thriving, and where you want to go. Just like a business you should take the time to document your life and develop an experiential plan to live well and develop.

The Pursuit Of Contentment
Long after emotional deprivation and a demished self worth. I find myself asking “how do I pick up the pieces?” When suddenly as swift as an inhale I answered my own question with “How can you fix something that never worked?” It then occurred to me that my insecurities stemmed from a place much deeper than the mental manipulation of my children’s father or even the emotional absence of the second nor the lack of integrity neither of them hold. Although those were woes we had in common they were their own to bare and mature from. It was my upbringing. My fathers absence but not just the physicality; the lack of emotional depth and ability to nurture from both my mother and father. At the time I did not understand what depression looked like therefore I never knew why I was never enough for my mother and why my pleas for nurture and acknowledgment were met with misunderstandings. In the case of my father; I never heard of a narcissist until recently. That was an entire universe of truth to unearth within itself and still is. All of these things led to me accepting emotionally aloof and unrequited individuals. I accepted men who only gave me minimal effort because that’s what my father gave. I accepted men who were emotionless because that’s what my mother gave. The irony was when my parents would witness this treatment and would say “you should leave them”. I’d mentally reply “should I have left/ divorced you?”. For many years this was my “normal”. Desperately clinging to become the adversary to this pathology and yet not fully understanding the root cause itself. It had nothing to do with the men I chose but rather why I myself was attracted to them. Why I insisted on these specific principles to be a foundation for a “good” relationship when I myself had not consistently acquired all of what I required. And even with the “good providers” and hypergamist relations I found myself in the same dysfunctional, emotionless dynamic. “Is it me?” I asked myself. In a sense it is... The unearthing of my subconscious abandonment issues and anxieties of separation. My egoistic masking of emotions. The never ending fear of intimacy by trying to avoid rejection. These are my baggage. I must have compassion while I unpack these antiques of mine. Knowing that it’s simply a representation of where I’ve already been and with the proper adjustments it will not be the calculation for where I’m going.

Do What is Difficult While it is Easy
"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small." ~Lao Tzu We must do what is difficult while it is easy. What does this quote mean to you? Have you made complete good use of your time? Using the 86,400 seconds in your day to their fullest potential? Back when I first read this quote, it caused me to revaluate my life. There was a time when I often did the complete opposite.
