Love- Be Your Own Super Hero

First thing to becoming your own “Superhero” is realizing that it’s all you, and that no one is coming to save you! You can learn to take positive actions that make you feel powerful, and those can lead to good things happening in every part of your life.

How do we start? First, by adopting a “Super-hero” mind-set, and starting to take actions that empower you to make positive changes in your life. Believing that you can is powerful, and that starts with a small steps that can become everyday habits.

1) Have self-awareness: Learn about yourself in order to understand your strengths, weaknesses, goals, and values. Self -awareness is your beginning of personal growth & empowerment. What’s your super-power?

2) Define your goals: Take a look at your life, and make clear decisions about where you want to go, and what you want to do with it. Make a list of career, relationship, health, or personal development goals, and begin to take steps to achieve them. Prioritize, and start with one goal at a time, taking small realistic steps.

3) Learn & develop skills: Knowledge is a superpower! When we decide to keep learning, we are constantly working on our “self-improvement”, and this is crucial for our personal growth & empowerment.

4) Maintain a positive mindset: Create a positive outlook with your life by practicing gratitude , focusing on solutions, and believing in yourself & your abilities to move forward.

5) Be Courageous: Have the courage to step out of your comfort zone & try new things. Practice “Contrary-Action”, every day, and this will help you face your fears and challenges and make you feel like a “Super-Hero.”

6) Get support- Build up a group / network of positive & safe friends, mentors, and allies with similar interests & goals. They can provide encouragement, guidance, and advice when needed. It’s also helpful to have people that you can network with and bounce ideas off of in a positive & supportive way.

7) Don’t ever give up: See your set-backs and failures as opportunities to learn and grow. Always try to bounce back from adversity, and keep moving forward, remembering that a super-hero always comes back in the end.

Always remember that it’s about progress, not perfection as long as you are doing the best you can, and you are progressing forward. Life is truly a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, and being brave enough to realize this is owning a “super-hero” mentality.

Love, Letting Go of Negative Emotions

Emotions are conscious mental reactions (such as anger or fear) subjectively experienced as strong feelings usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body.” Adapted from Merriam-Webster 2024 Why is it so important to acknowledge our emotions as visitors & let them go? By working through these emotions and feelings, we are able to recognize, and process them ( let them pass through our system) then let them go. If we ignore or deny our emotions that doesn’t mean that they will simply “go away”. For some of us this can possibly work for a short period of time, especially if we push them so far back into our minds ( the closet of our bodies). Pushing our emotions away can only work for so long, because once that feeling is awakened and activated, it can come back out in full force. Over time, negative emotions that are stuck with us can cause internal illnesses or depression. In order to move th...

Create / Me By the Sea

      There is a woman that lives by the sea     I am that woman & she has become me     The ocean she loved, for so long & so much     She lives now close by, close enough to touch     She visualized and felt it, day after day     Soon the ocean called her, it had found a way     Her house is  a snug one, with a terracotta roof     Her dreams did come true, here was the proof.     Two bedrooms, large bathroom, an office to work     Snug and serene, with all her pets and her perks…     I am that woman that lives besides the sea     I became her, because of her vision of me.

Create / Recovering My Creativity

Growing up with an addicted & mentally ill parent caused me to hide many needs & desires, and “people-please” in order to feel accepted as survival mechanism. As an adult, hiding those needs and desires caused me to feel blocked, and unsure about myself in many social situations. The things that I saw & experienced shaped my future behaviors, I was always putting the needs & desires of others before my own , and not putting my dreams & goals first. " " In the past six months, during coaching sessions with my peers, the same blocks/issues came up over & again. They consisted of not giving myself permission to create, and shine as my Higher Power wants me to. Another major block came in the form of wanting to try/do new things, then losing interest the moment I pursued the desire. " " Recently wondering why I seem to not be able to break through a “creative block”, a memory has resurfaced. In my childhood home, behind the garage, t...
