I Feel...

[deijahchristine]

Hi! — Happy Monday!✨

.

I hope you’ve had an amazing weekend and an even better week!

My word for you all today is:

Pause - a temporary stop in action or speech.

.

Being completely transparent, I’ve been working so hard trying to grow a brand, work a full-time job, be a good student, spend time with family and friends — attending events, hosting my own events; traveling etc...

I’ve noticed that lately I’ve been having a lot of anxiety. It is probably because I have not stopped for a second to just be present and think about me. Yes, I am very happy and so grateful to be In the space that I’m in, however, I’d really like to enjoy it, for real.

.

Over the next few weeks I will be taking some time to regroup, be present and breathe. 21 days exactly, a detox from social media.

Previously, I was so scared because I worried that I would miss out on many opportunities, as my brand grows. I’ve decided that no longer matters.

I’ve purchased a new book, that I plan to read entirely and spend some time at the shore, my place of peace.

.

My next event is March 27th, 2021 as planned — If you are interested in purchasing a ticket, please contact me directly.

Continuously taking time to heal... Remember you cannot pour from an empty cup.

Sending you all prayers for peace, happiness and prosperity.🌱

Don’t forget your smile!

With love always,

So, I wanted to share that I’ve made some changes and decided to unpack all of the extra bags I’ve been carrying. First, I will no longer allow any negativity in my space. From anyone; meaning my close family, friends, or even just people I come across daily. Going forward, I will simply disregard or change the topic. I no longer have room for that. Second, I will be very choosy with what I put my time and energy into – meaning, I’m no longer pretending that I want to text back, answer my phone or hang out just because you think I should. The answers no, I will not be explaining myself – either you understand or you don’t. Lastly, I’m done with feeling bad for being honest on how I feel, or view things. All of the things that I do, and say are done out of love and very thought out; I don’t do or say things that I don’t mean, and furthermore, I can no longer force people to try and understand others perspectives.

Honestly, I don’t know who needs to see this, and I mean it in the most respectful way; stop being selfish and GET OUT OF YOUR OWN DAMN WAY!

I’ve spent so much time working on myself, I am CONTINUOSULY breaking down, giving up – getting back up, and pouring into myself to grow into this woman I’m becoming. I cannot continue to explain to people how emotionally, mentally and physically draining it is. I work very hard at being transparent and pouring love onto you all. However, this time I owe myself. I have so much planned for the next few months, and soon I’ll be ready to share. In closing, at this time I can no longer afford any confusion or distractions – take care.

.

Wishing growth, peace of mind and understanding on you all!

With love,

Dei’jah Christine💕

In a space where 10 things are happening at once, and 8 of those things are going completely left; did you notice we tend to focus on all 8 negatives and ignore those 2 positives — Why not choose the 2 positives and work from there?

.

I say this to say, when you focus on the good, the good gets better!

and as far as those 8 negatives happening right now in your life; That’s Ok, it happens. Start over, move forward and try again. Don’t get stuck in that space and continue to feed the negativity, dead it.

Choose joy, growth; peace of mind and happiness — Oh don’t forget your smile, Happy Monday!💛

11/11:

I’m not sure who needs to read this but I came across this quote and wanted to share:

“Don’t allow yourself to be a victim. Take control of your life. Let go of things and people who serve you no good. Start doing things to make you happy.”

.

Tonight I’m taking back those small little pieces of me, I may have given out and caused myself to be spread too thin. No need for an explanation — somethings are emotionally too taxing to keep paying out.

Exit gracefully, heal and grow. 🌱

What will you take back?

Take care.

In 2015, I started a blog titled: “As Told By Someone Like You” I honestly had no idea where I was going with it, I was heart broken and needed to vent. I then fell in love with being transparent and stuck with it.

.

In 2018, I revamped and decided to change the name of my blog to: “I Feel...” this change would reflect; love, self-awareness, peace of mind, and growth.

.

Currently, I am a Growth Coach — similar to a fire, I'm spreading all over, instead of burning and destroying things, I’m shining light where light is needed.

.

A very close friend of mine shared this quote with me earlier this week and all I could say was “Wow!”

“I feel like I’m constantly worrying about the next part of my life without realizing that I’m right in the middle of what I used to look forward to.”

I’m sharing this because, Today, I’m attending my very first Women’s Entrepreneur Dinner on behalf of “I Feel...” my brand, my self-awareness journey. — I never imagined I’d be here, there are no words for me to express what I’m feeling. So focused on the end goal I haven’t stopped to reflect and be thankful for the space that I’m in. It’s amazing really, wishing this happiness on everyone.

.

I said it before and I’ll say it a million more times, DON’T GIVE UP; believe in you, and bet it all on yourself. I’m right behind you because YOU GOT THIS!💫

.

WISHING YOU ENDLESS LOVE, GROWTH AND PEACE OF MIND!🦋

Be still...

YES! — you can also be healing and happy.

.

Just a few weeks ago I was torn and completely lost. For days I woke up sick, confused, anxious — all over.

I had no words to express the hurt I was feeling.

Although, it was so painful, I was still hopeful because I don’t believe that God puts us through anything we can’t handle.

With more questions than time in a day,

I chose to leave the pieces on the floor and move forward.

Sometimes the best thing to do is not think, not wonder and obsess. Just breathe and have faith.

.

Despite your fears keep holding on,

Love can triumph it all!

.

Remember it is okay to feel the feeling, but don’t become the emotion.

Don’t forget your smile!💛

Remember:

It is ok to NOT BE OK.

It is ok to ASK FOR HELP.

It is ok to START AGAIN.

It is ok to SAY NO.

It is ok to REST.

It is ok to LET GO.

You are enough! Your feelings are valid, you don’t need anyone’s approval and you are capable of all things!🧡🦋✨

Not too long ago I was asked a question that really sparked a bunch of different feelings, emotions and even more questions in my mind.

.

The question was:

“What is it that you've learned most about yourself during the Quarantine and learned most about others?”

.

/Quarantine has taught me that I’m way more emotional than I thought. Ive finally been faced with the fact that I absolutely can not control everything. It has taught me to be grateful, do what works for me and to focus on only what I CAN control, which is myself and my happiness. It is so easy to forget how blessed we are. Seriously!

I’ve learned that people are always worried about the wrong stuff.. Some of us weren’t able to work, and others could work but, complained the entire time about having to work. Mean while, people were struggling, kids weren’t eating and bills weren’t being kept.

We also took advantage of our partners, got tired of them or felt annoyed by being under them all the time. Instead of being mindful and selfless due to the situation.

.

No judging though, I’m just saying... People are only going to do what’s best for them, so you should do the same, but with an open mind and a grateful heart; oh and a smile of course!❤️

.

.

What has quarantining taught you?

[deijahchristine]

Try this, instead of that. 🔀

‘Tips to swap negative habits for positive habits.

Believe it or not our mind takes whatever we give it. I like to think of my mind as a garden. Gardens are beautiful right? Filled with bright, vibrant, colored flowers, and beautifully trimmed bushes. You take great care of the your garden, you’re gentle, you’ll pull weeds and water it constantly to keep it growing. Why not do the same with your mind? Just use yourself as the sunshine.

Let’s focus on pulling weeds and planting seeds here. 🌱

THAT 🍂

I can’t.

I’m dumb. I don’t know anything.

I’m ugly.

I hate myself.

No one likes me.

This is too hard, I give up. It will never happen.

I’m not good enough.

No one believes in me.

THIS💐

I can do anything I put my mind to.

I’m smart, and I’m open to learn new things.

I’m beautiful/handsome.

I love myself.

I like me.

This is hard, but I can do it. I’m going to keep going.

I am enough, I am worthy off all things.

I believe in me.

Happy Planting.🌻

Would you believe me if I told you I was in my feelings during this shoot?

.

This entire shoot was such a vibe, it reminded me that I am allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously; It put me right back in a space of love for myself and growth!

.

Today I wanted to do that for you, I wanted to remind you that you’re strong and you’re beautiful. You’ve been able to overcome all of those times when you didn’t think you could, you did! TO BE BENT, NOT BROKEN sis.

No more self-doubt and self-sabotage.

Take a step back and breathe, remember who the f*ck you are!

.

Take care.💋

I’m completely open and ready for change. No more being angry, or holding on to things from the past.

Starting this new chapter in my life, I want to be as transparent as possible.

Today, now; and forever I choose happiness. I will no longer allow negativity to consume my time and energy.

Change is a choice, choose wisely.

I can’t wait until my shore house is finally finished being built next month. I’ll be sitting by the water with my journal and my favorite glass of wine every-night.

‘Just practicing lol!

.

“I am and always will be the the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.”

.

Honestly, I will own a shore house one day, I’m manifesting that as we read this. However, this is about the shore it’s self. I love the water, It brings me to such a peaceful place.

.

It’s like as soon as I hear the sound of the ocean; my mind stops all of the thinking and focuses directly on the sound of the waves..

Complete peace, literally.

I’m curious to know, what brings you to peace?

.

[deijahchristine]

Just a warm friendly reminder that it’s NEVER too late to work on you..

.

Make yourself a priority today; start with a grateful heart and an open mind.

Remember to FOCUS ON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!

Don’t stop until you’re proud, you got this!

.

.

Happy reinventing!🦋

Your energy is currency. Spend it well. Invest it wisely.

As I said before, YOU are the bag. All money in, time to invest in yourself!

Happy Friday, don’t forget your smile!✨
