A belief is just a practiced thought. Do your practiced thoughts lead you down a pathway of high self worth? Are you contradicting your desires with incongruent thoughts? Society trains us to think of ourselves as less than for too many reasons. This is why it can be a challenge to rewire our brains.

You're having the same experiences just with different people. It's easy to be hard on yourself because you have been practicing that for such a long time. Started at blaming yourself for what happened to you and continue to this day. Synapses in our brain have wired that as "normal". That's why it is challenging to shift thought patterns on your own. You can create a new normal with consistency. Embrace the challenge. Even if it doesn't seem like it, it is worth it. Challenging doesn't mean impossible. How do I know? Because I was a people pleaser I hardly ever said no. I mean, I'm capable, right? I Never wanted anyone upset with me I wondered why what I wanted always dodged me I would've rather become invisible than to ask for something P.S. When you think about what we've gone through, it makes sense, right? We prepare for disaster. That's what we do without even thinking about why. It is worth penetrating the pain to strip the discomfort and shift our spirit, body & brains to the other side because THAT is where your #WIN lives. If you don't get this, honor where you are on your journey 👍. But if you feel this, I'm talking to you. Let's STRIPShift.

That face when someone says you should give a f**k about what others think or have to say about you. NOPE. 2019 & beyond is the time for a S.T.R.I.P. Shift in mindset for survivors of sexual violence. Being a survivor may come with long lasting challenges within our own minds. Have you done therapy? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you not understand why your mind still fearfully holds you back? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you ready to create ways to go from shame & second guessing yourself to dicovering how to tap into courage & put high value on what YOU think for your life? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you need support & someone to keep you accountable so you end the cycle of lots of starts no finishes? I can help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The #ZeroFZone is a first step in your mindset reset so you can build what you want to build, create what you want to create, say what you want to say, do with your body what you choose to do with your body, ask for what you want to ask for, ignore what "they" think, say or think you should do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ See you there! www.facebook.com/groups/ZeroFZone/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ZeroFZone #STRIPShift #reclaimingourbodies #ReclaimingOurMinds #dailypractice #structureyourlife #commitments #actionaddict #imperfectcourage #consistencyoverperfection #finishes #goalgetter https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDbDlsF8GL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dfofhahze4pt

I have questions!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do people realize that often times survivors try to overly control things because what we experienced was NOT under our control. We want to control everything & know the outcome first. Perfectionism, much? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It just doesn't work that way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You'll likely hate the first thing you attempt. But that first thing tells you how to improve & be better. You'll hate the second thing less. You maybe will like the fifth thing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jump. Let's start thinking: It just may work!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then you'll be wondering why you spent so much time stalling at all! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ZeroFZone #ibelievesurvivors #shift #STRIPshift #refocusing #jfdi #daretosuck https://www.instagram.com/p/BqrPpYqlljU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bobxr9nd8q9m

Survivor ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The journey to survivor is a long & often ongoing effort. [Dear, "why does it still matter now", folks, because it's effects can last a lifetime, that's why. Please don't @ me.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am able to speak up now with no shame but that was not always the case. Once I truly felt like a strong survivor, I spoke up. Not everyone can. Not everyone is ready. Not everyone is there yet in their healing process. We have to be where we are at. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where are you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ready to discover ways to create your own personal #ZeroFZone? Are you ready to discover ways to embrace brazen self acceptance? You have to be at a place in your journey where you are committed and ready to take action. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've put together structures for myself to stop my thoughts from stopping me. It takes practice & consistency. I have no 3 easy steps. I have no 5 quick solutions. I have no way to do the work for you. I CAN show you what works for me & how you can implement it for yourself. I can lead & support you in that with no judgement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm starting a private FB group. Comment "I'm In!" or DM me if you want to go into the #ZeroFZone Closed FB Group. #selfacceptance #selfactualization #selfdefinition #commited #consistencyisthekey #imperfectcourage #STRIPshift https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqny49ql-t6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1if0ojv4pn3ej

I was at a party once (in ancient times before IG stripper pics were normal). A group of folks we're standing in a circle chatting. The conversation turned to jobs/careers. It's NYC, so a mix of artists & business careers. My turn: "I'm a stripper"! *HUGE bursts of laughter erupts* Me & my then girlfriend look at each other & smile. Did they laugh because they thought that being a stripper was so aspirational that I couldn't possibly be THAT high on life's totem pole? Did they think strippers are so awful & I seem way too "respectable" to be one of THOSE?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Outside Judgement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In some cases, it can affect life/livelihoods. But those aren't the judgements that you're avoiding when you choose not to start a project, not to do something you've been wanting to do but don't, not apply for opportunities, start but never finish things? The judgement you run from is judgement from peers. Humans like to take action AFTER social proof that it is accepted by the masses. It is just how we're hardwired. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thankfully, we can be re-wired!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, again, what is it that happens if you're judged? I can tell you 2 things from experience for sure: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. "They" almost never say it to you directly so you will likely never even hear it. Let em talk amongst themselves🤐! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Typically, you are never going to be judged by someone trying to accomplish anything big/meaningful💅. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which leads to my next question: *mouf smack* How much is "they" opinion worf👂? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Answer: Zero Fucks, it's worth Zero Fucks, Ma'am🚫. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This pic of me living my best life creating things I enjoy BECAUSE I chose to do something WITH SO MUCH outside judgement anyway. S.T.R.I.P. Shift thru the discomfort. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Come wid me to ze joy filled #ZeroFZone 🤸!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #STRIPshift #survivor #shamelesslife #ibelievesurvivors #brazenselfacceptance #shamelessus #selfactualization #shameless #judgementdetox #nojudgementzone https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnOFSLFF8I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h6fmbuizbber
