Journaling to Happy

Are you happy? What does happy look like for you? Daily I help women get to their happy. However, each woman defines it differently. The pursuit of happiness is ongoing and unattached from people and things.

In my sessions with the girls I mentor through Divas, Inc., my nonprofit organization, I focus on the exploration of emotions. Try knowing and understanding how you feel and react will help with defining your happy.

Do you journal? If not, you should. Picking out a pretty journal and a nice pen would be my favorite part of the process. I would often forget to journal for a few days and then all together. When you make change to daily habits, a mind shift occurs.

Stick to a diet for 21 days and see how it's easier to pass up fatty foods.

It takes 21 days of repeatedly doing something before your mind registers it as a habit. Some people need as long as 60 days. For this reason, my development programs are a minimum of 90 days for motivated women seeking change.

If you haven't found your happy. If you need help defining your happy. Or if you want to cultivate positivity and measure your growth. Get a journal.

Every day. Yes, every day journal these five things.

Every morning before starting your day complete these:

1. Today I am thankful for: (list five things)

2. I am: (an affirmation)

If you aren't there yet, speak it into existence. What do you want to become?

Each night before bed, reflect on your day with these:

3. What were the three best parts of my day?

4. One trait that I really love about myself is:

5. One positive thing that I can do to make tomorrow better is:

The power of positive thinking is one of the greatest tools you have to living euphorically.

Phenomenal Fridays

Phenomenal Fridays- I wanted to highlight phenomenal females who took the leap of faith towards their passions and life’s purpose.

I interviewed D’Shara Diggs owner of J’adore’s Closet. She was gracious enough to share her insight and experiences with fear.

1.) Tell me a little about yourself and your company. Hi Im D'Shara Diggs a 25 year old native of Norfolk VA, My company is J'adore's Closet children’s boutique and consignment shop. The idea to start my company was soley based off of my love for my 4 years old son J'adore. I've always loved to dress and style him from birth. Sometimes changing his clothes four times a day. The concept of J'adores Closet came about when I decided to clean J'adore's Closet and have a yard sale with all of his old clothing. From there the idea kind of went viral, eventually over a 8 month period I started to sell high end retail items, boutique items, and lastly opening a boutique in VA Beach.

2.) What challenges do you think you face for being a woman in your field? In my field I face few challenges. The biggest challenge was myself in the very beginning. However, since I’ve started my business I've faced very small challenges such as negative remarks from others, which will always happen.

3.) What advice do you have for any woman considering starting her own brand/business? My advice to those women would be like Nike- JUST DO IT. If you can dream it, you can live it. When you have ideas write them down, give yourself realistic goals, both short and long term and surround yourself with those who inspire and motivate you to start that business.

4.) Have you ever dealt with self-doubt regarding your company? In the very beginning there were tons of self doubt. I allowed the spirit of fear to stop me from even living out my dreams. I then realized that doubt and fear would hurt me more than it would to try and fail.
