Jessie’s World Eps 21 – How Self Awareness Can Save Your Life

INTRO

Thanks so much for tuning into episode 21 of Jessie’s World Podcast where we are dedicated to becoming our best selves together. 

If you are upwardly mobile, a go getter, and are committed to improving your self and your life, this is the place for you.

I am Jessica Lambert – aka – Jessica Vibez with a Z and I am your Host.

Today’s we will be discussing all things SELF AWARENESS and how to use this critical skill to improve yourself, your life, and your business.

We will focus on Solution-focused self-reflection and the role of the self in the attainment of goals – as it is most helpful in eliminating rumination and instead helps move an individual toward future-focused behavior.

Rumination is defined as engaging in a repetitive negative thought process that loops continuously in the mind without end or completion – basically, it’s when negative thoughts play over and over in your mind and are hard to stop. This can happen as a result from trauma and stress, and it can be detrimental because it can repeat the body’s negative stress response over and over making you susceptible to disease or chronic illnesses.

Because we are focused on HEALING, Wellness, and becoming our best selves at Jessie’s World – we will focus on SOLUTION-FOCUSED SELF REFLECTION and help point you to a brighter future and a happier healthier wealthier YOU J 

But first, as always, it’s TESSY TIME.

TESSY TIME – Black on Black Crime

Today for Tessy Time I have a very serious topic to address.

This week we lost a loved member of the Hip Hop community, and even more important, of our Black community, and of our Young Male community, Takeoff.

Since this tragedy happened a few days ago now, and since Takeoff is a legendary pop icon and one third of the very popular group, Migos, I am sure you are aware of his untimely death and how it has broken hearts around the world.  

While I would like to offer his family my heart felt condolences, I want to also acknowledge that this is a loss for us all. It’s also the right time to address the issue to young Black Men continuing to be the target of aggression from within and from outside our own Black community.

I released a poem in 2019 speaking out against what I call the ENDANGERED BLACK MALE. I note in this poem that there is more money, energy, effort, and collaboration to save the BLACK RHINO than there is being spent to save the BLACK MALE. The rate at which our young men are dying we need to call this an emergency. We need to have a NORTH AMERICAN WIDE (that’s Canada and America) COMMITMENT from GOVERNMENT to FUND PROGRAMS and SERVICES coming from all levels of community members in various forms (i.e. business, non profit, community group, small business, solopreneurs, programs, etc.) and priority should be given to THOSE WHO GREW UP IMPACTED BY AND DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES AND MADE IT OUT – so that we can help illuminate the way for young people navigating this world.

We need to form a protective shield around our young Black Kings so that they are safe…even from each other. If you care as much as I do about this DM me on Instagram @JessicaVibez and let me know what you think the solution is? Where do we begin? 

As the daughter, sister, mother of Black Men, I for one cannot in good conscious remain inactive. We must ACTIVELY create change!!! My call to action is CONTACT ME / DM ME and let’s start uniting for change. #BlackMenMATTER.

TOPIC – How to Use Self Awareness to Improve Your Life

Having a better understanding of ourselves can lead to a more fulfilling and successful life. So …what is self awareness?

Definition – an awareness of one’s own personality or individuality, or simply put, to know thyself. Self awareness was first termed in 1876. In short, it is the ability to see ourselves clearly and objectively.

In knowing yourself, you connect with your inner gifts, your life’s purpose, and you are honest about where you are in relation to where you want to be. When things bother or trigger you, you stop and look at it, and learn from it, you see yourself in relation to the world as opposed to being ‘of’ the world.

Jessie’s World’s work is to help people become their best self – and SELF AWARENESS is very much a first step towards a journey of success, happiness, healing, and abundance. 

Please note if you regularly participate in things that pull you away from self, like avoidance, self-medicating, or suppression – this will delay your success, or if you have managed to achieve success in life, it could threaten it, thus developing self awareness, and stopping things like avoidance, suppression, and self medication is critical for sustained success and wellness.

Special Note – In the Black Community we are not always encouraged to do the deep meaning full work of connecting with ourselves, figuring out who we are, what we love, how we want to relate to the world from a position of a strong sense of self. It’s never too late to embark on that journey, and I invite you to do it with me every week as part of this podcast. While we all need to work on our self-awareness and to strengthen it as a fundamental building block towards self-actualization, we in the Black community in particular have suffered from unique stresses and strain that can cause what is known as chronic stress – which is a root cause for many diseases and ailments including diabetes, blood clots, hear and stroke issues, and which Covid 19 feeds on. Studies show that our community is disproportionately impacted, and so making time for ourselves, healing ourselves, connecting with ourselves, loving ourselves, strengthening our immune systems through reduced stress all of this is critical to our lives.

When you consider the fact that from as early as 18 months old Self-awareness is a state in which the concept of the self reacts to social and environmental cues. Then, In adults, self-awareness is the capacity for deeper self-reflection.

If you were not conditioned at a young age to value yourself, care for yourself, see yourself as an individual within and in relation to a world, and nurture your individual qualities and positive traits – that makes self care, self awareness, and your relationship with community and world more difficult. 

The good news is – it’s never to late to start building your self awareness.

BENEFITS of SELF FOCUSED SELF REFLECTION and the ATTAINMENT of FUTURE GOALS

1.     Increased perspective-taking enables increased empathic responses to the plight of others. This improves relationships and connections with other human beings.

2.    Self control / improved self regulation – which impacts things like eating habits, repetition of negative habits or behaviors, and even participation in criminal activity or aggression 

3.    Improved creative works – as one deepens their ability to go inward and reflect, they are better able to access their internal gifts and to tap into their creativity to master their artform

4.    Improved social skills – and the ability to fit into society and succeed within existing social structures

5.    Improved self esteem – that comes with successfully creating, fitting in, excelling, and a...

Jessie’s World Podcast – Episode 20 

Affirming Awesome

“No one will believe in you if you do not believe in yourself.”

Intro – Welcome to Jessie’s World podcast, I am your host Jessica Lambert aka @JessicaVibez with a Z. 

Today we are celebrating Episode 20 and I am so excited. This means 20 weeks of us coming together and working to become our best selves. 20 Weeks of deliberate progress. 20 weeks of getting closer to self actualization – this is exciting. 

We are now in 14 countries Canada and specifically Ontario, BC, and Quebec are tuning in and working on becoming their best selves.

We have America representing BIG with New York, Michigan, Texas, New Jersey, California, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Mississippi, Minnesota, Indiana, Illinios, Florida, Colorado, and Alabama tuning in regularly – that’s amazing.

Right now it’s a podcast but we are building a positive platform for self success like you have never seen before and each week when we get together to work on us we are making the world a better place by controlling what we have control over OURSELVES. You are only powerless if you give your power away – to be powerful you must invest in and nurture YOU!

Today’s Episode is about Affirming Your Awesome, and Your Future Awesome as well.

But First – It’s time for A Moment of Gratitude.

A MOMENT OF GRATITUDE – Thanking listeners and Instagram Followers of @JessicaVibez who tune in Thursdays for Thankful Thursday Post and who participate in this weekly practice of counting our blessings together.

TOPIC

Affirming Awesome for Personal Growth

Affirming Awesome for Professional Growth

In order to do this exercise today – because today’s episode is an ACTION episode, you may need a pen and paper, you will definitely need to MEDITATE.

I want you to write – ACCOMPLISHMENTS and this will look at affirming specifically the recent changes you made over the last 20 episodes, what recent changes are you most proud of that you want to affirm?

It takes time to form habits, and for new changes to become a true part of you, affirming your recent successes and developments helps further cement those beautiful wins in your life.

I affirm CONSISTANCY – except for taking time off when I was under the weather, I have shown up regularly for my listeners and I will continue to do so. In doing so, I am learning and have really improved showing up for myself consistency. I am aware of my low energy days, I allow my pace to slow, but I hold myself accountable for still putting self-care first and getting other important work done. I also love the great feeling that loving myself brings. I am so grateful that my work allows me to touch lives and hearts and I want to do more of that.

BIG BOSS VIBEZ

Affirming your Awesome and your projected wins is not just important in your personal life – you must do this to professionally win too.

A sales person who did not believe in themselves, or their ability to sell the product, would go hungry.

You need to affirm your awesome as it pertains to the specific work you do.

Remember, affirmations are meant to be specific. 

When you can tie your affirmations into specific performance metrics you desire for yourself at work, or for your own business, you can create some pretty amazing results. 

Author and Motivator Marcus Buckingham said “What you focus on expands. Results follow focus.”

Affirmations help us amplify the right focal points in business and in life, thus helping to stack the deck in our favor when it comes to positive outcomes.

GODS N GODDESSES 

Loving yourself is key. We focus so much on loving everyone else in this world, which is, of course, very important – however it starts within.

Your affirmations are your love letter to you. It’s your short paragraph that says I love you, I want the best for you because I know for a fact YOU ARE THE BEST, and that you are attracting all the best things in this world that are perfectly designed for you.

I am an awesome beacon of light in my own life, in the lives of my loved ones, and in the world. I give from a place that is pure, and I am rewarded with physical health and strength and financial wealth and abundance. I love connecting with people who want to be their best selves, and helping them find success within. My consistent dedication to my brands in self-success, in storytelling, podcasting, and music make me a BOSS in the areas of life I love so much. I have amazing friends in the industry who value my contribution and share opportunities for mutual elevation. I am an inspiration to every young person who started with a struggle and turned it into a triumph. I am a great role model and blessing for my son, my God children, my nieces and nephews, and all the young people I love. I have made God and myself proud, and I am only just beginning. I am Jessica Vibez and I am living my AWESOME. 

When you feel ready – write your own triple threat, say it daily, and watch yourself manifest your awesome like never before.

QUOTE

“The day I started believing in myself, and stopped looking for a co-signer, is the day I started truly nurturing my inner authentic brand.” Jessica Lambert aka Jessica VibeZ 

AFFIRMATION 

“I am a work in progress, I am a wonderful manifestation of life lessons and little wins. I am such a blessing and a joy. When I dwell in my own inner awesome, the lens of life looks so bright. I love how believing in me, makes me feel on top of the world.

Tessy Time - deep dives into the issue of pervasive ad placements on social media and the need for laws like CASTLE and PIPIDA when it comes to social media adds as well - citing that social media is our new home and similar to email and phone calls we should have to opt in to see all these ads.

Gods N Goddesses uses visualization to connect with our lower self and identify what patterns, people and energy live there so we can reduce those influences in our lives. We then visualize our higher self, again examining what patterns, people, energy, food, movement, experiences, and mindsets we enjoy when in our higher self state so that we may engage these elements more often thus improving our overall quality of life. 

Quote "Prevention is better than cure - but cure is really great too. The best time to love yourself is right now."
