Daily Mantra, Inspiration

For the past year or so I’ve been saying a mini mantra as soon as I wake up and before I go to sleep. My mantra consists of goals and spiritual reminders. Overall it’s a way for me to reprogram my mind and guide myself in the direction I want. The effectiveness of doing this daily and putting these thoughts out into the universe has improved my overall being TREMENDOUSLY. I encourage everyone to sit down at a coffee shop, in your room, on your porch or wherever will get your juices flowing and create your own personal mantra!

My Updated Mantra:

My primary relationship is with myself. I am in the process of knowing, accepting, and loving myself. Today is a stepping stone towards my higher self. I will unlearn negative and harmful practices. I will begin by building a stronger relationship with the higher power. I will transition to a vegetarian lifestyle by the end of the year. I will overcome temptations that prevent me from achieving a healthier lifestyle. I will pass the praxis and continue working towards my degree. I will get straight A’s this upcoming semester. I will get a part time job I love and enjoy. I will read three books on my own time by the end of the year. I will update my blog three times a month. I have the unlimited capacity to make my life any way I choose. I am responsible for what I create. I am brilliant, I am powerful, I am limitless, and I am love.

After saying my mantra I like to follow up with inspirational quotes!

This time I chose, “Nothing can dime the light that shines from within.” “If you were to die today would you be satisfied with you day?” and “If you want something you’ve never had you’ve got to do something you’ve never done.”

Hope this inspires someone to try it out!

Best believe you'll end up with very few people in your circle once you come into terms with who you really are and stop giving a shit.

Book Review: Sisters of the Yam

Simple and Short:

Self-recovery/self-help/inward-loving….however you choose to name it, Bell Hooks- Sisters of the Yam! As a young woman who's constantly questioning my identity, dealing with self hatred/internalized white supremacy, health, career decisions, etc.. she has the recipe for healing, particularly for Black women! It amazed me how she mentions certain situations she’s dealt with that I’ve faced as well. After reading this book, I feel refreshed, focused, in tune, and aware that I’m not the only one dealing with things. That, us as Black Women, are struggling with similar situations and the hurt is caused from various factors. Bell Hooks does an excellent job telling us straight up…this is the issue you’re having, why you’re having it, and how to evolve, within. I wish I could buy a copy for all the women out there, but I’m a broke college student…so I’ll just share my copy with a friend and hope that someone out there is touched enough to get a copy for themselves and do the same.

Elevate your self.

What I’ve learned so far in my twenty-something years of life

-People come and go. Those who want you in their life, will make an effort to keep a relationship, no matter the circumstance.

-You can honestly do what ever it is you’re passionate about and be successful. But you have to be willing to put in the work.

-There will be times when you feel like shit and nothing seems to work in your favor, that’s fine. Don’t get comfortable.

-Family and friends can be the most positive or poisonous people. You may have to cut some loose, but the important ones will be supportive.

-You’re a reflection of those around you.

-Beauty fades faster than wisdom appears.

-You will never have all the answers.
