I was born for this. I'm NOT new to the game...I'm true to the game!

"So you're tired, no longer inspired!? I hear you. I feel you. I see you. I often relate to my life's ups and downs in terms of the care of my car. The other day I had my tires rotated, my oil changed, fluids checked, car washed, etc. I could never see what was going on under the hood. I wasn't aware of the subtle changes of etrophy happening in my vehicle. I just kept driving and going wherever I wanted to go without realizing the wear and tear on my car that needs regular maintenance for it's longevity.


Maybe it's time to check "under your hood". What are your soul/heart maintenance habits? You cannot see your mind, soul, heart, and spirit ...but your stress, frustrations, grief, fears, disappointments, regrets, secrets, caring for others, paying your bills, family conflict/drama, chasing your dreams, physical pain, heartaches, worry, fractured self-esteem, the effects of the pandemic, and looking for love or maintaing the relationship do have can take you out of balance.

You may think you're fine until; you break down exhausted, in the hospital, can't stop crying, stuffing your feelings with food or drink, you can't get up out of the bed, you're angry and agitated, you can't sleep, or become isolated hiding from the world.

I shared with one of my counseling ladies recently that because she was in denial and ignoring her self-care and ignoring the reality of her situation...she was doing what I call "running past the red lights." She wasn't paying attention to her body, her priorities, the toxic relationships, demands on her time, and her boundaries. She wasn't paying attention to the red flags of people who were showing her their lack of respect, manipulation, or disregard of needs. She was putting herself in harm's way and headed for an accident instead of paying attention to the caution lights and the red lights to stop. Like one of my favorite old school songs by the Stylistics warned in their music..."Stop..look... listen... to what your heart is saying."


You can learn to break the strongholds in your mind. Choose to break free and lose yourself from the strongholds of procrastination, poor choices in relationships, poor prayer life, fear, low self-esteem, fear, addictions, the need to please others, perfectionism, false pride, fake smiles, depression, wearing a superwoman cape, and little faith. Pick one and grow!"
