Affirmations: You are what you think you are

Sometimes I talk to myself. Ok, a lot of times. In my head mostly, but aloud in the car, if I’m alone. I’m not crazy, at least not by clinical definitions. I'm a firm believer in what you put into the universe will return to you. It sounds so simple and a tad bit overly optimistic, but it works for good and bad. Every day I coach myself through with affirmations. Positive thoughts and affirmations have changed my life in ways no one could understand.

“An affirmation opens the door. It’s a beginning point on the path to change. Every thought you think and every word you speak is an affirmation.”

— Louise Hay

Affirmations work on the power of the tongue. First you speak positivity into existence. Then you start to believe those words. Ultimately you will fulfill the affirmation. Your mind isn’t able to distinguish what is real or fantasy. So by constantly implanting positive or negative things in your mind, your mind will believe it, and you will subconsciously begin to reinforce those thoughts. From a very young age we've been shaped by those around us telling us who and what we are and what we're capable of. Others have shaped our reality. Affirmations in turn give you control over how you would like your life to be. By repeating positive affirmations, you are retraining your mind.

“The mind is everything. What you think you become.
”

— Buddha

For the month of August I want to share an affirmation with you daily. In order for affirmations to work, you have to believe in the power of your mind and be receptive of change.

Live. Love. Action

Note one of your negative qualities (be honest with yourself)
Write one affirmation that will negate the negative using your positive qualities (Ex. I am worthy of change and I accept my journey)
Recite the affirmation daily for five minutes a day.

Living my life to the beat of my own drum

My friend asked me, "What does "living life to the beat of my own drum" mean to you? I notice people say it a lot but they do what everybody else does. Lol" I immediately thought GREAT post!

Here is my response to her: I think people just like to pretend to be free from the worlds restraints. & it's what we've been taught to say. But the restraints are what keep people from believing that they can actually do whatever it is that they want to. Plus it's safe to stay in line with the rest of the band.

Innately my response is doing what I want to do. However, people used to always tell me, you can't do what you want. They wanted to revise my statement to include "within reason." People love to put limitations on others.

The only limitations you have are the ones that you set. You have permission and the right to do whatever your heart desires. I won't say within reason, because adults do what they want to do surrounding their value system and morality.

What's important to you? Go after it! Step aside from the drum line, leave the band, and be the soloist that you were destined to be.

Live. Love. Action
1. Smile
2.Take a deep breathe
3.Beat your drum and rock on with your bad self ;)

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.
