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.

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...

Forgive / Forgiveness, Healing & Freedom

One of the most loving things we can do for others & ourselves in this lifetime is to practice forgiveness. The term “practice forgiveness”, is to do it in the best way we know how. We may not do it “perfectly” hence the word practice. Yet to try brings value to not just the other person, but to ourselves, for it is a scrubbing of our spirit that washes us clean of negative emotions. When we feel injured or find fault with another persons actions or decisions, judgements can form, and resentments can grow. These can cloud our vision and quite literally take up space in both our minds and our bodies. The injury we feel can cause anger, and the negative emotions can make our jaw clench & tighten, and our blood boil. These negative emotions can move into the body, much like a person moves into a house, and not leave. They act up, behaving like the very worst tenants ever, wrecking havoc in the home that is our body. This can result in “dis-ease” of the body and soul, a...
