Reflections on building a better me

Exercise is not optional. Mental satisfaction from completing yet another workout cannot be overstated. Physical satisfaction from feeling good and enjoying your body in clothes, the mirror, and photos cannot be overstated. Stop messing around, stop info hoarding, go exercise. And tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day.

Looking your best depending on circumstances (ie, casual, dressy, bedtime, etc) is not optional. External confidence from taking care of your appearance top to bottom and loving what you see in the mirror is highly valuable.

You feel better when you eat better. You’re proud of yourself when you eat better.

Hobbies, hobbies, hobbies. Do you feel embarrassed when someone asks what you do all day and you can’t come up with an honest answer that doesn’t make you sound like a loser with no life? You need hobbies. Some that are outdoors, some that are indoors. Some that are taxing, some that are relaxing. You will enjoy life more, become a more well-rounded individual, and have positive ways to spend your time rather than racking up more hours on your phone. Get some hobbies. Plural.

Procrastination and laziness should disgust you. You shouldn’t be able to relate. You should strive to be above that. You like yourself better when you complete your tasks and get things done in a timely manner. You’re proud of yourself when you’re on a roll and have a productive streak. You’re impressed by productive people and no one likes a lazy bum.

Decide what you want from life and pursue it ruthlessly. Don’t take advice from people who don’t have the life you want, unless they were once on your desired path and fell off. Even then, you listen to them when they say what NOT to do (learning from their mistakes) but clearly they don’t know what TO do bc they didn’t make it to the finish line. Take “do this” advice from people who crossed the finish line and have what you want. You’ll find that the amount of input that is actually valuable to you has suddenly dwindled. Good. Less chatter in your ears.

Get yourself in order before you go around critiquing everyone else. Get YOUR face in order. Get YOUR body right. Get YOUR money up. Get YOUR style in order. Get YOUR relationship together.

Stop coming to everyone for validation like a toddler. Validate yourself. Do you like it? Okay then. Are you over it? Okay then. Stop being so weak. Stand tall, lead yourself. Stop being such a follower.

Be a good person. Help your family, lend a hand to strangers, give back, say sorry, do things for loved ones just because, show affection, work things out, watch your mouth, speak respectfully, remember that the world owes you nothing. Stop being an insufferable freak.

You can’t change anyone but yourself. Get yourself in order and be a good role model. That’s all you can do. Give people advice when they want it and then go about your business. Get yourself in order. Get yourself in order.

Outrage content is the lowest form of entertainment. Engage in things that make you happy or educate you. Doom scrolling only leads to doom. Don’t like this person? Don’t click on their articles or videos. Unfollow and block. Don’t like these people? Leave their spaces. You don’t have to be outraged every day.

Always keep your word to yourself. Make a plan, stick to the plan, always deliver. If you can’t be reliable for yourself then who can you be reliable for?

Build a circle of friends who like to talk about investments, business ideas, and personal growth instead of gossiping about other people.

Prosperity tip: Goddess loves herself and that’s why the world is full of hundreds of flowers, fruits, animals, scents constantly reinventing and being made refreshed. When you start seeing self love and value in your own incarnation, you mirror her💖

I am no mans dream girl. No man could ever imagine and create a woman as complex and beautiful as me.

Body

Born to be happy and free, forced to be hot and asked out to hoedowns. God help me, I should have said no.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Character Principles that shape who and what you are.  Habit 1: - Be Proactive. Proactive people are agents of change, taking more than initiative to get shit done. It means you are responsible for your own choices, not being a victim or blaming others. 

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. You’re focused on the end goal always, you’re not out here running in these streets like a lost puppy. All your daily actions are based on where you want to be with a clear purpose in mind. 

Habit 3: Putting First Things First. Successful people do the most difficult tasks at the beginning of the day. Why? Because that’s how you get shit done. Organising your day will keep you focused. 

Habit 4: Think Win-Win. It’s an abundance mindset, a frame of mind.  Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood. When you listen with the intent to understand, rather than the intent to reply, true communication can begin.  Habit 6: Synergize. It’s solving problems, seizing opportunities, and working out differences. Key to any successful relationship, it’s a complimentary partnership, it’s teamwork. 

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. This is about consistently renewing ourselves in the four areas of life: physical, social/emotional, mental and spiritual.
