Happy Monday Lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. This week, we will focus on self-awareness. Like any other skill, it requires practice. The more you practice, the more you master it. So, let's commit to this journey of self-awareness, and remember, practice makes perfect. With each practice, we get closer to our goal. Self-awareness is not just a skill, it's the cornerstone of personal growth. It's the key that unlocks your potential and leads you to a more fulfilling life.
Mondays were always one of the most challenging days of the week because the weekend was way too short for me. My body still felt exhausted and desperately needed rest; however, I needed to work 40 hours a week to keep my residence and lifestyle. I had to choose between my mental health and finances. Finances consistently emerged victorious. Although I worked so much to maintain my lifestyle, I was exhausted and living paycheck to paycheck. I would have to choose between new clothing and food; sometimes, I would skip meals to save money. I was constantly advised to get a roommate or move back in with my parents; however, I felt great joy and pride in having independence and control over my life.
I felt trapped in what felt like the modern version of American slavery. I wanted to jump ship, but I was also on a healing journey that was teaching me how to live only in the present and become grounded. Grounding is a skill that helped save my life because it helped me begin to process my past and discover my true self.
Grounding is the practice of directing your attention to the present moment and your immediate surroundings. It involves using sensory experiences such as focusing on your breath, observing the sights and sounds around you, and feeling the physical sensations in your body. Grounding can be very helpful during stressful or overwhelming experiences. More importantly, grounding is a gateway to self-awareness. It's a tool that not only calms your nervous system but also helps you understand yourself better, a crucial step in your personal growth journey.
So, this week, we will focus on grounding ourselves. It will help us identify our boundaries, desires, and aspirations, giving us more confidence to live up to our fullest potential. The key to starting a successful business is having a clear sense of self, and Lovebugs, I am here with you on this journey.
LETS GO!
