Reflect on How You Assign Value to Your Self Worth

Your True Value is Separate from Successes or Failures

Your inherent worth should be an unchanging reality, completely independent of wins or losses.

• Wins Don’t Define You: Your achievements—career milestones or personal successes—do not increase your value. Your worth stands on its own.
• Mistakes Don’t Shrink You: Your failures, setbacks, or poor choices do not diminish your inherent value one bit.

Your worth is solid and constant, rooted in your experience and shaped by the character you decide to embody. Life’s ups and downs nor your actions alone define or determine who you are . Do not rely on victories in life to feel important, nor should you let defeats make you question your place. Your value is whole and complete just as you are.

Choose The Tree of Life

Life presents us with profound choices, mirroring the separation of light and shadow, growth and decay. At the root of every decision lies the question: Which tree will you tend to in the garden of your soul?

The world’s many currents—its fleeting pleasures and its nagging anxieties—can bear a variety of peculiar and frankly, low-hanging fruit. This fruit, often tempting and easily grasped, frequently lacks true nourishment and carries the bitter aftertaste of compromise. It is essential, therefore, to be intensely mindful of the energy you welcome and claim in your life. Energy is not a passive receipt; it is an active choice.

Are you making the conscious, brave choice to embrace the Tree of Life? This is the commitment to holistic existence, to accepting the full spectrum of reality. It brings not just the sweet, ripe harvests of joy, success, and connection, but also the inevitable, challenging seasons of pruning, storms, and winter’s dormancy. It demands resilience, hope, and the willingness to see value in the struggle. The Tree of Life nourishes the soul with purpose, community, and enduring meaning. Its roots run deep into the rich soil of courage and authenticity.

Or, have you, perhaps without fully realizing it, committed to the Tree of Death? This is the path of stagnation, fear, and avoidance. It is a tree that appears to offer ease but yields a solitary crop: nothing but pain, endless suffering, and an eventual, profound emptiness. It is watered by regret, fed by cynicism, and bears the weight of unfulfilled potential. Its seductive shade promises rest but delivers only cold isolation.

The canopy you choose defines the climate of your life. The fruit you eat determines your strength for the journey. Make the deliberate, daily choice to tend the living tree, to cultivate a life that flourishes through all seasons, and to claim an energy that truly sustains. Choose the Tree of Life!

The importance of staying PRESENT!

You can’t navigate the present by living in the past. To truly move forward, one must embrace the opportunities and experiences that the present moment offers. Dwelling on previous mistakes or missed chances can cloud our judgment and inhibit personal growth. Instead, focus on the lessons learned from the past while applying that wisdom to current situations. By acknowledging where you came from without allowing it to dictate your future, you create a path that is rich with possibilities and open to new adventures. Each day presents its own unique challenges and rewards, encouraging us to grow and adapt.

Peace should be a priority in your life NOW.. not later!!!

It is often said Rest in Peace when a person has reached the end of their journey on the road of life. Yet, peace should not be a mere destination; it is a vibrant state of being that deserves to be embraced throughout every twist and turn of life’s adventure. If you feel that your peace is repeatedly shaken or if you find it hard to cultivate it…STOP and passionately reflect on the path you are navigating. Is this the journey you have intentionally chosen, or has it been dictated by others? Whatever you uncover, dare to choose a new path! But above all, evaluate the company you surround yourself with as you traverse this incredible journey of life! Learn to LIVE In PEACE!

Embrace Your Self-Worth.. Allow Your light to Shine BRIGHT!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.” – Marianne Williamson

Authenticity Evolves with You

Embracing authenticity often presents challenges. Navigating the desire to be ourselves without fear of judgment requires confidence, courage, and self-compassion. This journey towards an authentic life demands patience, intention, and, most importantly, honesty. It involves accepting who you are in any given moment, no matter the circumstances.

Creating Peace Often Comes with Unwanted Sacrifice

The healing process requires prioritizing oneself, and this often involves making sacrifices to find and maintain inner peace. The cost of achieving peace can be challenging and may necessitate difficult decisions, such as removing toxic people, places, and spaces from one’s life.

BE an INFORMED versus an Influenced MIND

To be informed is to receive and understand facts and information, while to be influenced is to have your thoughts, opinions, or behaviors changed by others, often through persuasive or emotional techniques rather than pure logic. An informed choice is based on evidence and thoughtful consideration, whereas an influenced outcome may result from selective information, appeals to emotion, or the desire to conform to social norms. Be an informed mind as your thinking it influences your decisions, feelings and actions!

Trauma is a profound life event that exerts a multifaceted impact on individuals, permeating their mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. It is not merely an incident but a transformative experience that fundamentally reshapes an individual’s cognitive processes, emotional responses, and behavioral patterns.

Understanding the intricate ways in which trauma affects individuals is paramount for several critical reasons. Firstly, it is crucial for fostering resilience, enabling individuals to not only survive but also to thrive in the aftermath of adversity. Secondly, this understanding is vital for developing effective coping mechanisms. Trauma can disrupt an individual’s ability to regulate emotions, form healthy attachments, and engage in adaptive behaviors. With a clear grasp of these disruptions, targeted interventions can be designed to help individuals develop and implement healthy coping strategies.

Addressing the pervasive impact of trauma is not merely an act of kindness but a fundamental step towards significant improvements in mental well-being and overall quality of life. Unresolved trauma can lead to a host of mental health challenges, including but not limited to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse. It can also manifest as physical symptoms, chronic pain, and autoimmune disorders. By acknowledging and actively working to heal from trauma, individuals can experience a profound shift in their internal landscape, leading to greater emotional regulation, improved relationships, enhanced self-esteem, and a renewed sense of purpose.

From the moment we draw our first breath, our existence is shaped by a blueprint not of our own making. We arrive into a world where countless elements are already predetermined: our names, the cultural tapestry we are born into, the spiritual or philosophical frameworks that surround us, and the intricate dynamics of our family. These foundational aspects, often deeply ingrained before we can even comprehend them, form the initial canvas of our lives.

However, the remarkable journey of self-discovery empowers us with a profound choice. As we mature and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world, we begin to recognize these predetermined areas. It is at this pivotal juncture that we are given the opportunity to critically assess whether these pre-assigned elements truly resonate with our authentic selves. Does a particular cultural expectation align with our evolving identity? Does a pre-established spiritual path truly nourish our soul? Do the family dynamics, as they stand, foster our growth and well-being?

This realization ignites a powerful sense of agency. It’s an invitation to engage in a deeply personal and transformative act of re-creation. We are not merely passive recipients of our initial blueprint; we are the architects of our ongoing evolution. This means having the courage and the vision to redesign any portion of our lives that no longer serves our highest good or aligns with our burgeoning energy, unbridled passion, and unique life purpose.

Embrace the spirit of “DIY your life!!!” This isn’t about discarding your past, but rather about consciously curating your present and future. It’s about taking active ownership of your narrative, brick by brick, choice by choice. It’s about stripping away what doesn’t fit, repurposing what can be adapted, and building anew with intention and conviction. This process may involve challenging long-held beliefs, establishing new boundaries, seeking different communities, or forging entirely new paths. It is a continuous act of personal rebellion against the notion that our destinies are fixed, and a joyful embrace of the boundless potential within us to craft a life that truly reflects who we are meant to be.

Anger is an emotion that is neither good or bad. In fact it is your quiet friend that makes you aware that you feel disrespected, undervalued, unappreciated, ignored or taken advantage of. Instead of choosing to act in away that is negative, pause and ask yourself what emotion is truly driving the anger response? Once you understand that emotion, address it directly with honesty and a sense of calm to reclaim that part of your mental and emotional well-being that feels disregarded or compromised. Anger does not have to be explosive but instead can an elevation of self-awareness.

Success and Failure have a delicate balance. Failure can drive success when you understand, setbacks, challenges and obstacles are part of the growth process. Success can provide the insight into the purpose of failure when one is willing to accept the adversity they fought through and persevered to be successful. Courage is the ability to face the fears that both success and failure can bring when reaching beyond one’s dreams and actualizing goals!

Healing can not truly begin until you can learn to promote your emotional and mental well-being as a priority. It is nearly impossible and without question extremely difficult to try to cultivate your happiness if everyone in your life needs and wants always come before your. Be sure that the sacrifices you make for others truly are worth the effort you invest in other.

The company you keep and the environments you move in either facilitate or stunt your growth. Be aware of your surroundings and the activities that are happening in them. If the energy is negative, if your feel unappreciated or disrespected…Ask yourself why am I here? If you find the answers are more about the benefit of others but are a detriment to you…You are not standing in a circle of support and love but rather a cage of disappointment, pain and anger. Self love is about freeing your mind, body and soul to experience emotional and mental growth and sometime physical healing from sickness due to stress.

Change is often considered difficult and undesirable. Your perception of what is changing becomes the foundation for the perspective you believe. Change may be uncomfortable but it does not mean it has to be an overall bad experience. Thinking outside the box on how change may or may not impact you is integral in how you adjust to it.

The Story of the Cracked Pot

“A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years, this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water in his master’s house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. ‘I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you.’

The bearer asked, ‘Why? What are you ashamed of?’

The pot replied, ‘For these past two years I am able to deliver only half of my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master’s house. Because of my flaws, you don’t get full value for your efforts.’

The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion, he said, ‘As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.’

As they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it somewhat. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure.

The bearer said to the pot, ‘Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you’ve watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house.’” Author Unknown

Silence can be deafening or it can be golden. Choosing to remain silent when you are not happy speaks volumes. Silence often is interpreted as acceptance, when instead it may signify quitting, conceding or resistance. Find your voice and speak your truth with empathy and conviction. Never allow others to think they understand or assume they know what you are thinking or how you feel! Silence, like anything else, can be a powerful communicate tool. You can utilize it to express yourself and at the same time it can be a tool that can be wielded as a weapon to attempt to destroy you. Always seek to know it’s purpose when it it’s being utilized

A new week is upon you. We often say healthy relationships are a matter of trust and honesty. Keep in mind trust begins from within. Often we look to others when discussing needing to trust but ultimately we need to trust ourselves enough to trust others. When we trust ourselves, we have faith in our judgements, decisions and perception of not just our world but the greater world around us. People at times, will disappoint by letting you down when they betrayed or misuse your trust. Remember it is not always about your ability to determine someone’s intention but they must also have appreciation and respect for the trust you have given them. Trust is given to someone because their character, as you know it, dictates it is worthy of it. Ask yourself how often have you trusted someone only to discover they were not worthy of it and you knowingly had ignored many red flags or concerns before you took the leap of faith. Trust requires true faith before it should ever be fully bestowed upon someone.

Life is challenging. You have to ask yourself  a hard question, a serious and real question. Is the time, energy and effort that you are putting into your life, is it honestly focused on addressing the problems you are experiencing or masking issues under the guise that you are working towards change?

When looking to make a change in your life,  you should seek to create outcomes that are linked to authentic efficacy, not actions that only yield short term results. When you intentionally focus on dealing with an issue in the moment, specifically with behavior that is avoidant and does not address the real issue at hand, you are activating self sabotage. 

If you find yourself putting forth the time, energy, and effort, and the outcomes of those actions are not creating the true change that you need; you have to stop and ask yourself the question are you honestly addressing the issue at hand? More importantly, are you acting in a way that can create not only a short term result, but a long term change; even if it requires small steps in the effort. Short term results should be small steps toward a long term change not momentary gratification that fades away over time revealing the issue is still under the surface and has been left unresolved.

Some goals have incremental requirements. Be sure you are planning based on your time and intention but also based on the time and the attention the goal requires. Don’t confuse ambition with goals. Ambition is the desire to have success at something. A goal is the action plan you put into place to achieve your ambition! Ambition without a goal lacks vision and the means to actualize.

Welcome to the Weekend!!! Understanding the difference between RESISTENCE and RESILENCE is an important mental wellness tool to have. Resilience is working through and sometimes with change and adversity knowing it may be tough but will yield an outcome that can be of benefit or relief from a situation. Resistance is refusing to comply and actively working against the change and adversity regardless to what the outcome will be. The energy you exert should produce an outcome that works to your benefit in some capacity, no matter how small. Knowing when to walk away and not resist or sit tight and be patient, resilient requires being objective and open to what possibilities may be waiting to be discover.

Striking a balance is often difficult due to many of the demands that need to be accommodated in or personal and professional lives. When imbalance is presents in our lives, we often feel under mental and emotional duress. In order to recalibrate ourselves, we need to rebalance the emotions (feelings) with the circumstances that triggers the emotional reaction. Developing your WISE MIND, (the bridge between thinking and feeling) helps to bring logic and emotion into a shared and safe place where balance can be attained.

As you move through the middle of the week , reflect on how you have processed the challenges or changes you may have encountered. Keeping with being mindful of how you utilize perspective and perception, how did you frame the challenges or changes that presented themselves? Did you look at them as possibilities or problems?

Welcome to the weekend! Let’s keep working on being Objective AKA Open-minded. Often when a situation happens we develop our opinion ( perspective) based on our perception which is highly influenced by our emotion. The ideal approach is to be open minded, don’t lead with emotion but rather look at facts, possibilities and other viewpoints. This requires you to have an open mind, which is often hard to do when emotions can be the driving force in decision making and taking action.

Understanding the difference between perspective versus perception is important. Perspective is the opinion you have formed about something. Perception is how you view ( visually, mentally and emotionally) something in order to form an opinion. Keeping an open mind and learning to be Objective versus Subjective is a powerful tool and skill set to have.

Kick off your week with purpose. Set goals to focus on the things you need to get done, first and want to get done, second. Take a page from the urgency versus priority book and plan your week around the tasks that yield results and possible outcomes, but do not neglect those things that you desire to do the least. Avoidance does not solve problems, it just gives them more power to impact your mental wellness.

Another important aspect of healthy communication is your emotional intelligence aka EI. EI refers to your ability to objectively perceive, evaluate and control your emotions. It also entails your ability to objectively perceive, evaluate and receive the emotions of others. EI is a two dimensional skill set that requires patience, honesty and the motivation to want to understand your emotional and mental framework, what has built it, as well as, how you have been maintaining it . Emotional intelligence is one of the most important tools you have and developing it can be the difference between experiencing more joy and peace versus turmoil and chaos in your life. Stop and reflect, take the time to begin to understand the ways you process your feelings and how it impacts your decisions and interactions with yourself and others.

Self Love and Self Care involves creating and maintaining healthy emotional and mental boundaries. Often when utilizing boundaries, criticism and chaos can ensue due to a lack of understanding and respecting their purpose. Choosing to create and utilize boundaries is a means of protecting yourself based on principles you value and have chosen to live by. Boundaries DO NOT require others to validate or agree with them, only respect them. When you are faced with a person or situation that does not respect and refuses to adhere to them you must proactively chose to protect yourself by asking a key question, should this person or situation be present in my life, (ecosystem, see previous day post) after refuting or refusing to acknowledge what matters to me, in regards to, my mental and emotional wellbeing???

Self Love and Self Care involves creating and maintaining healthy emotional and mental ecosystems for yourself. YOUR ecosystem is your unique and personal interactions with others and your environments that impact and influence you mentally and emotionally. When you think of your ecosystem, how do you maintain and protect it? or do you? One key way to maintain and protect it is to inventory the people in your life. Are they toxic? Are they supportive? Are they nurturing? Are they a distraction? What about your environments ( ie Home, Work, Family units, Friend groups), are they a place of peace and tranquility most of the time? or Are they stressful and chaotic? Understanding your ecosystem will help you begin to understand how to create and protect them. The first step is evaluating how they are impacting you. Start with evaluating the people in your life and determined if they are providing value or destruction to your ecosystem.
