Self Discovery & Healing

  These video clips are glimpses of my beginning stages—when I chose solitude over noise, stillness over distraction. I was separated, yet I was being set apart . It was during this time that I found a home church and started becoming intentional about what I allowed into my spirit. If it didn’t apply—I learned to deny . We’re all made differently. Just like we don’t share the same blood type, we don’t share the same healing path. I tried therapy and counseling, but it didn’t work for me. What did work was faith. Awareness. Self-care. Self-love. And a deeper relationship with God. When you take time to know yourself , to sit with yourself , you stop searching for answers in places that can’t sustain you. The real answers are within. Sometimes, the best friend you’re looking for... is you .

Protecting Your Inner Peace

  Setting Boundaries Against Negativity

In a world filled with constant noise, conflicting opinions, and emotional turbulence, protecting your inner peace is essential. Whether at work, within friendships, or even among family, negative influences can take a toll on your mental well-being. Learning to set boundaries and consciously surround yourself with positivity can make all the difference in maintaining balance and protecting your mental health.

The Power of Boundaries

Boundaries serve as protective barriers that guard your emotional, mental, and even spiritual well-being. When you allow negativity to invade your personal space unchecked, it can lead to stress, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion. Setting healthy boundaries isn’t about shutting people out but about safeguarding your energy and peace.

Here are some ways to establish strong boundaries:

  • Limit Exposure: If certain individuals or environments consistently drain your energy, reduce the time spent in those spaces.

  • Speak Up: Don’t be afraid to let people know when their words or actions affect you negatively.

  • Prioritize Self-Care: Taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally is a crucial boundary that keeps you grounded.

  • Learn to Say No: You don’t have to be available for every conversation or interaction, especially when it brings negativity into your space.

The Effect of Negative Words

Words have power. Constant exposure to negative words, criticism, and discouraging conversations can slowly shape your mindset and self-perception. Just as positive reinforcement builds confidence and strength, repeated negativity can create self-doubt, anxiety, and even depression. When negativity becomes a daily norm, it can be difficult to break free from its influence.

Some signs that negativity is affecting you:

  • Feeling drained or mentally exhausted after certain conversations

  • Doubting yourself more often

  • Increased anxiety or sadness

  • A shift in your overall mood and motivation

Reaffirming Positivity

One of the most effective ways to combat negativity is by actively reaffirming positive statements. Daily affirmations and uplifting words can counterbalance the effects of negative influences and help rewire your mindset for peace and confidence.

Try incorporating these practices into your daily routine:

  • Morning Affirmations: Start your day by speaking positive words over yourself. Statements like "I am worthy," "I choose peace," and "I am in control of my emotions" set the tone for your mindset.

  • Surround Yourself with Positivity: Listen to uplifting music, read encouraging books, and engage with people who inspire and support you.

  • Mindfulness and Meditation: Take moments throughout the day to recenter yourself, breathe deeply, and release any negativity you may have absorbed.

  • Gratitude Practice: Focusing on what you’re thankful for shifts your perspective and reminds you of the good that exists in your life.

*Thought

Your inner peace is priceless, and protecting it is a responsibility that only you can uphold. Negative influences will always exist, but you have the power to choose how much access they have to your mind and spirit. Set boundaries unapologetically, reinforce positivity daily, and prioritize your mental and emotional well-being.

Peace is not just a destination; it’s a practice. Make the conscious decision to protect it every day.

     You dont understand why you are so emotional or have no control of your emotions You were just fine a minute ago, or at least so you thought, since you were able to show up for work everyday, and your side hustles were bringing in the extra income you desired, lets just get to the facts,  you were "the ultimate hustler" making it happen, every time, anything you put your hand to, you became inspirational to watch as you rose, knowing your purpose.. But then one day you fell apart, you began to lose control emotionally and all your calm, cool and collectedness was gone, that's when doubt and fear set in and the future seemed dismal and bleak.  Seeking professional help seemed to complicate things further with all the diagnosis and labels of disorders placed on you, due to your trust in the "doctors" you believed you were now who they diagnosed you to be. Adding insult to your injury the stigma surrounding these mental health disorders you were now associated...
