Wednesday's Self Care Affirmation for

 

"Imposter Syndrome"

I am enough, just as I am. My worth is not defined by perfection or the approval of anyone. I embrace my unique journey, recognizing that I am capable and deserving of the success that I want for myself.

I release feelings of imposter syndrome- or feeling like I'm not good enough or knowledgeable enough and I welcome self-compassion and confidence into my life. I will trust in my abilities and I know that I have the strength and can do whatever I put my mind to.

​

With each step I take, I am being sincere to who I am and what I want for my life. What I have to offer is enough.

Like Nike Said... Just Do It. But I Like To Just Say... Just Rinse It Off

Today, let's talk imposter syndrome so it can stop holding you back.

When you are nervous about to stepping outside your comfort zone, sometimes you can mix the feelings of fear with feelings of inadequate.

​

Guess what- that jittery, second - third- fourth- and fifth feeling of "I don't think I can" before starting something different is just a feeling of fear and it is NOT that you are incapable of doing it.

​

When I decided to start my journey as a mama boss and leave my stable teaching career, it was one of the scariest things I have ever done. Honestly, I still get that "imposter feeling" like "I don't know what I am doing and am I even supposed to be in this space" kind of feeling.

​

But, God has a way of letting you know that you are in the right place at the right time.

​

That's what has been my experience in dealing with imposter syndrome.

​

Sometimes, it's not about whether something is a "forever" thing, the question often is " Is this the season for me to enter into it?

​

That imposter feeling, I don't really know if it ever really goes away. But I will tell you what I do know.

​

I do know that God will direct your path when you are moving according to His will and His purpose for your life. And when you have direction (not all the answers, just direction... and can move one step at a time), you can be confident in moving forward with a little less fear.

​

Those feelings of fear don't define your capabilities. They're simply reminders that you're challenging yourself and embracing growth.

​

It's natural to question yourself and wonder if you belong in this new space. But, there's a peace that can't really be explained when you know that God is leading your way.

​

He has a way of guiding you to where you need to be, precisely when you need to be there.

​

It's not about knowing if something is meant to be forever; it's about recognizing if it's the right time for you to step into it. That imposter feeling may linger, but it doesn't have to hold you back. Trust that God is leading you on a path aligned with His will and purpose for your life.

​

You may not have all the answers, but as long as you have direction to move one step at a time—you can also move forward with confidence, knowing that you're walking in faith.

​

Embrace whatever journey you are called to with courage, knowing that you are exactly where you need to be.

​

Keep believing in yourself, your journey is unfolding beautifully.

​

Sending hugs and love this Wednesday from my heart to yours!

​

And as always, until next time... Color every thought that you have today as BEAUTIFUL as you are

What's the #1 way to get rid of " Imposter Syndrome"?

​

​Rinse it Off!

​Bring "extra soap" to the shower when you are starting something new!

Why? Because the shower is the best place to brainstorm without someone calling you... MOST of the time 🤣 AND so you wash away all those FAKE doubts and come out squeaky clean and as the fresh smelling superstar you already truly are! 😘

​

Sometimes, just being a little silly can help rinse away those feelings of doubt and remind you of your true worth and capabilities. So lather up, laugh it off, and step out feeling confident and refreshed!

​

Relaxation: Warm water has a soothing effect on the body and mind, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. When you're relaxed, your mind is more open to introspection and self-reflection.

Nourish Your Energy:

Life can be a bit like juggling. We toss one commitment in the air, catch it, and then another one comes flying our way. It's easy to end up with a heap of responsibilities that leave us feeling like we're in overload... and in over our heads. But the thing is – it's perfectly okay to admit when we've hit our limit.

😍**Download my free - 7 Days of Inspiration for Moms to see how to plug your energy leaks for a more balanced work and family life.

As moms we feel like we have to do it all. Sometimes, we mix up being busy with being productive. Feeling overwhelmed or like you can't keep up is not a sign of weakness; it's acknowledgment that your human.

Imagine your time and energy as this limited, precious resource. Learning to say 'no' is like putting up a little fence around that resource, making sure it's invested where it matters most. Saying 'no' doesn't mean you're closing doors; it means you're keeping the doors open to what truly needs and requires your time.

So moms... let's plug those energy leaks called overcommitting and practice say no until your plate feels like a curated menu and not a heaping, mile high plate from a buffet.

Let's be real; if we could morph ourselves into 20 people, or freeze time to get more done, we would. The reality is... that isn't reality and you can't do everything all the time.

​

Even superheroes need to pick their battles. So, focus on your priorities – the stuff that really matters to you. Think of saying 'no' as your way of saying, "Hold on, let me check if this aligns with my mission and my goals."

​

Life can feel like a crazy ride, but you're at the driver's seat. Saying 'no' with a smile isn't a rejection; it's the way to steer yourself towards what brings you joy and fulfillment while not adding on more than you can handle.

Until next time... color your thoughts beautiful! 😘

Ambitious Women Unite: Breaking Through Default Mode

I once heard these inspiring words:

"Remember, life is not a dress rehearsal. You won't get another chance once it's all over. Why not go for it without regrets? Explore what's available to you, you'll never know unless you give it a try". - Carrie Greene

Are you living your life as if it's a dress rehearsal?

​

Is there something burning inside that you want to try, but you keep convincing yourself that it's not the right time?

When will it truly ever be the time? Challenges and obstacles may present themselves as 'bad timing,' but sometimes, it's just fear in disguise."

As ambitious women, blending motherhood with our aspirations can sometimes place us in a mental space of default, moving in autopilot day to day, deferring our dreams to some distant future.

It's time to stop defaulting into the day-to-day routine and give your dreams the opportunity to show you what else is possible. Remember, baby steps... is motion.

Activate your ambitions and move from planning and talking to a space of action.

As the saying goes, "Action takers are money makers."

 Living in Purpose: Daily Affirmations as Your Guiding Light

I learned they power of affirmations for women by accident.

​
One night, I was up late working ( as I usually have to do). I had just created a wallpaper art to add to the shop. I always set them as wallpapers to my personal desktop to test them before I place them in the self care shop.

The wallpaper I had just worked on was Serenity Prayer and it was set as my lock screen wallpaper.


Coincidently, I needed that the very next day- let me tell you how that happened.

The very next day, a financial situation happened in my personal life that was well beyond my control. Let's just say, it brought along a lot of stress and anxiety- we all know clear thoughts do not come from a place of stress and anxiety.

Now, I usually have my desktop monitor turned off when I am not working on it, but this particular day it was not. After a LONG day of stressing and what felt like losing my "marbles" I walked into my office to grab a pen and notepad that I needed from my desk.

My eyes were met with my computer screen- I saw the Serenity Prayer at just the right time.

At that moment- I was reminded.

God wants me to come to Him. Not stress, not worry, and not try to figure this out on my own.

Sometimes, we don't realize we need something... until we actually need "that something" if you know what I mean.

I was reminded of where my help comes from and who my faith is in.

So, from that moment forward, I decided that I would continue making inspirational art because someone's eyes will see these words at just the right time too.

Believe & Achieve- Nourishing Dreams with Self-Love:

As ambitious moms and women- we set ambitious New Year's resolutions filled with aspirations, only to find them slipping away as soon as February... or sooner for some of us. Does this mean you should be hard on yourself?

Absolutely not.

Know This,

Your mental and emotional capacity will change as the seasons of your life change- be open to the flow of it all- amidst the hustle and bustle.

But, it's time to shift our perspective and shower ourselves with the same love and commitment we generously offer others.

Cherish and value yourself, your promises... instead of New Year Resolutions. Keep your promises to yourself & let it become just as valuable as the commitments you make to others- your job, your children, and any other responsibility you may have -where NO is not an option.

It's a journey of self-love and of self care and it begins with acknowledging your worth. It's a promise to nurture the beautiful soul that resides within you and believe in your potential.
