Ooh I Think I Like Me

 


I've decided; I think I REALLY LIKE me! It may sound a little crazy out loud, but its something we NEED to hear. Think about it, how many times have you actually SAID those words? So much of daily life is entangled with inadvertent desire for approval from outside forces; little do we realize that the most important opinion, our own, is the one most RARELY sought after...
My ultimate goal is to be the type of energy that I want surrounding me. I spend a large amount of time figuring out how the things I do make me FEEL, as I touched on in "Personal Bliss". I'm training my mind to seek out, and focus on my personal benefit in certain situations. This isn't done with self-centered intentions, but sanity-preservation. Way too much time is consumed by activities that just don't serve us in any way, and become unnecessary priorities. That was time that could have been better spent enriching and adding value to your own life. I want to be more effective at spotting these particular things quickly and expelling them from my life.
Before I started doing this, I had begun to feel like both my Yin and Yang were present, but not SIMULTANEOUSLY. It was like my mental equilibrium was off. For whatever reason, I just couldn't pull (literally!) myself together...
It caused me to look internally and try to figure things out. Why did I feel so out of balance? What was going on in my head that wasn't allowing me to be my complete self? I looked at my life, and I saw that my angst about success had stagnated my creativity, and all of my actions had become premeditated and automatic. I had become so caught up in making/creating things based off how the world might see and accept it, I lost sight of the fact that my work is about me, and FOR me. I am the ONLY one who needs to be pleased; point blank period.
There is no escaping YOU. Go ahead and get acquainted, you guys are going to be together for a lifetime. It's the only person that will ALWAYS know your truth and whether or not you are compromising yourself. You definitely let YOU know, and stop you dead in your tracks...At that moment, you are able to decide just what kind of person you are; one who is uncompromisingly real with themselves, OR, one who belongs to the world; allowing their path to be chosen and set by outside forces. I personally want as much say in who I am and what I become as humanly possible. One thing is for sure, its the absolute one thing in life that you CANNOT be of two hearts behind; not and survive, that is. Decide or Perish...~ The Queen

The Virtuous Woman

  I remember growing up in church and hearing this term mentioned several times in reference to a particular bible verse.  It was always used in conjunction with a lesson concerning the ways in which a woman should conduct herself; specifically, what characteristics a woman should possess in order to be the ideal partner.  As a child, this was one of the lessons I took with a grain of salt because I was too young to fully appreciate all of its implications.  As I grew older, the concept continued to escape me; as outside influences became more prevalent, and began to shape my perspective.  It wasn't until recently, while reading that the idea returned to me, that I started to reflect on what this actually meant to me; I chose to define it on my OWN terms... Virtue, by definition, according to the New Oxford American Dictionary, means, "behavior showing high moral standards; a quality considered morally good or desirable in a person; a good or useful quality of a...

The Tea: Days of the Week Energy Correspondence

  Sooo, the hot topic of conversation between myself and my closest friends has been how out of wack we feel, and just out of sync we seem to feel with our current realities.  It sparked a renewed interest in an article I came across about 7 years ago that talked about how we were doing things all wrong on a daily basis... From the day we are born, we have a schedule, of sorts that is imprinted on us.  As opposed to learning through our own intuition when to act, and how to maneuver certain energy, we are forced into what is pre-existing; what is most conducive to the environment in which we are now being integrated...and this becomes life.  Never giving a second thought to the fact that perhaps you should be moving entirely differently.  According to foreverconscious.com  , the specific vibrational signature for each day of the week is influenced by the planet for which it's name originates.  Each day was named after the planet with the corresponding ...

The Lipstick Diaries Volume 8: Devoted to Chili (Literally!)

  You know, I find it really funny that, suddenly, during quarantine and social distancing, there is this sudden emphasis on self-care and protecting your energy.  It would stand to reason that these concepts (and the engagement thereof!) would have been most vital when we were interacting person.  Don't get me wrong, I'm all for re-connecting to Source WHENEVER necessary; I just find it hilarious when loving yourself as an individual has become a fad(sadly, like so many other things in life, it took becoming popular for people to pay attention!  Anyway, I digress!).  Regardless of the reason behind it, I'm happy to see a collective conscious shift to the importance of stillness of mind at various points throughout the course of the day.  As a matter of fact, I've adopted the concept to develop a whole new outlook on life-a state of perpetual chill... Minding your own business becomes easier the more it is practiced.  It eventually becomes second natur...
