Poized Ladies

My Dear Poized Ladies, I am your average plain Joe lady. Correction, I am worse than your average plain Joe. I never took pride in myself and that's because I didn't care what I look like or how the world saw me. I thought people would accept me for who I am and if they didn't then they were not meant to be in my life. Everytime, I thought about improving myself I saw dollar signs, let's all be honest here, it's not cheap to maintain yourself on a high level but then again I am making excuses for why I let myself go. I am twenty-two years old, at this age I saw a need to change. I want to be beautiful, elegant and classy but still be myself. I saw this as a chance to refine who I am, and be a better version of myself. My goal is to document my change and to encourage and help others, it's not an easy journey but it's one that certainly excited for.

My Dear Poized Ladies,

When I first started getting serious about my change, I had to start with my mindset. If your mind your mind isn't aligned with your determination for your change, then it will never work. That's the reason I had failed so many in times in the past. Starting the new year I was determined to change my mindset to match the person I want to be, it's not easy. I have found ways to keep my mind on my goals with the help of affirmations and keep track of my thoughts. You have to keep track of what you think and take control of your mind, if not your mind will control you.

My thoughts still do wonder but I am aware of it more than I was before and honestly I feel so empowered that I have gain that awareness of my mind.

When it comes to mind empowerment, I love to follow; Mel Robbins, Les Brown, Susan Jeffers and Anna Bey. These people are the foundation of how I changed my mind around in a perfect 360.

Mel Robbins changed my thinking with her five second rule, here's the audio book. I read the book but the audio is also great because it's read by her.

Les Brown changed my life with his powerful motivation speeches, honestly I try to listen to him everyday.

Susan Jeffers....just wow. I really do love her, her words gave me a whole new look on life and a different way of thinking about situations. This is the summary of the book but I do encourage you to buy this book, read it and keep it close.

Last but not least, Anna bey. I adore her. In my mind she's my mentor, I really do hope one day I get to meet her and personally thank her. Before I found Anna channel I was ashamed to admit I wanted to live a certain lifestyle, a life that I only knew from movies and books. I wanted to become elegant and classy but I never thought I was good enough. When I found her channel her words give me the inspiration and the leap of faith to be who I want to be. She truly is amazing ❤️.

My Dear Poised Ladies,

This next step is probably the hardest one yet, that's because you have to be self aware at all times. Actually, I find this one to be the most difficult because even if I am self aware I still find it hard to focus and get what needs to be done finished. Right now I am fighting a cold and I had planned my list of what I wanted to do today but couldn't complete any of it because I was sleeping most of the day, even as I type this I don't feel the energy to type but I am doing it anyway.

I am serious about leveling up in life and being a more refined person but there is one problem that I have with it, I am broke and also very frugal with money. I find it hard to spend money on myself because I am always thinking of bills or trying to save for a rainy day. Currently, I am not working a full time job so every cent that I make I try to budget accordingly. That's going to change because I am ASSERTING myself to take better care of myself and to put myself first. First step of my leveling up journey is my hair. I am going to invest in quality hair. It's hard for me but I am ready for a change and I am more than happy to make that change.

Be honest with yourself and find what you need to change and do it. Assert Yourself.
