I am a high achiever, highly energetic, perfectionist in recovery and overall determine brown girl. I have gave myself permission to have several seats for the month of March to prepare for my major speaking engagements, workshops and coaching clients. Within the two months, I have launched my ebook (Manifesting Your Greatness), became an ambassador for Blogger Week in Washington D. C. and I am speaker at Heal a Woman and Heal a Nation. I also have coaching clients that I coach on a regular basis, coach student athletes on self-esteem, healthy relationships and nutrition along with volunteering my time to the community. Let me take a breathe....
I started to realize that I didn't have a healthy balance in my life in which I started to become burnt out from everything. I stopped everything I was doing and started to really ask for what do I really want? I sat down in a quiet area and started to pray, meditated and journaled what I truly want. When I started the hear the whispers, I started jotting down what I want and how am I going to achieve these things. I started jotting down I want to have more fun, I want to be more creativity, I want to handle my finances in a better and healthy way, I wanted to forgive myself and others, I wanted to start healing myself in a holistic way, I wanted to be more unapologetic and vulnerable and I wanted to travel more. When I jotted down these things, the floodgates started to open.
- I started to open my mail again and started to create a budget to pay off my debt and start saving for my personal savings and business.
- I started to hang out with my sister-friends more. I have laughed, ate cupcakes, enjoyed pottery classes and talk a lot of trash with my sister-friends and didn't have a care in the world. I even stayed up to 2:30am like I was back in college and graduate school.
- I have enrolled into the Iyanla Vanzant's Forgiveness online six week class in which I am learning more about the power of forgiveness and how to forgive myself.
- I have enrolled into a six week womb detox group coaching program in which I found a spiritual mother/mentor and met more positive sister-friends in which I am sharing in the healing process with. I have did the ugly cry, able to receive greatness and forgiveness while healing my womb.
- I have started preparing to run in three 5ks marathons for this year. It is a scary and daunting task but I am loving every minute of it.
- I am traveling more this year for speaking engagements. I am speaking in Maryland, Washington D.C. and Detroit, MI. I am excited because I am able to spread my unapologetic message to women who are in need to hear it.
Asking for what I want wasn't a hard task to do. I just had to quiet my mind, organized my thoughts and prepare to receive the greatness. I was afraid to honestly receive because I have been rejected by man. I have been rejected by society, a job, relationships, and in friendships. The powerful message I can share about rejection is that it prepares you for greatness. It prepares and protect you from mediocrity. I also remember that man's rejection if God's blessing. God is preparing YOU for something better than the things you were rejected from.
Make sure you are asking for positive things you truly want and be ready to receive!
Coaching question: What do you truly want? Have you asked for it? Are you in the season of receiving?
