Today's session is dedicated to those who are struggling with the belief that there is only one way to achieve or accomplish your goal. After listening to today's podcast, I hope you hold on to the fact that:

• Sometimes walking alone is a good thing

Can't wait to hear from you!

Think about someone you admire in your field of interest- someone who is at a level you aspire to be. Now think about this: imagine the number of times they had to do the same things over and over and over again until they became so good at it that it grabbed, and held, our attention. So much so that we now aspire to get to where they’re at.

In repeatedly doing the mundane, the boring, the not-so-glamourous they were able to achieve a level of success that motivates us every time we think about them. 

In today's session of Note to Self Diaries, I share with you some of the lessons I'm learning about the monotonous habit known as 'repetition.'

Let's be honest, we don't easily like to be spoken to- if at all. And if we're to really, really be honest we'd even go a step further in saying that any spotlight shone on our flaws immediately warrants disconnection from the person bold enough to point out our not so nice traits. 

You know what I learned recently about this kind of behaviour? It's covered in arrogance and if we're not careful, we can sabotage some really valuable relationships. Press play to hear more about how my own pride almost cost me a relationship like no other and the lessons I learned about being open to constructive criticism.

Lately, I've been consumed by this immense urge to "start over." I find myself going on and on, in my head, about how I've failed in a particular area and how I could have done better, when really, what I should've been doing is giving myself grace and not being afraid to pick up the ball and go again.

In today's session of Note to Self Diaries I add a bit more context to this and I also talk about how time spent beating ourselves up is simply energy being misplaced.

I hope something resonates with you.

I found myself contemplating this question recently: "Why do I feel guilty for not struggling anymore?"

It's an odd question because who wants to struggle/continue struggling? When I pondered the question further I came to the realization that when we're not used to excess, we don't know what to do with it and that often manifests itself as imposing limitations on ourselves, thinking that we're not good enough for certain things, and even subjecting ourselves to situations that clearly do not serve our higher good. 

In today's session of Note to Self Diaries, I explore some of the many reasons why we tend to feel guilting for doing well and celebrating ourselves, and I also talk about ways in which we can begin to combat those feelings. 

I hope today's session reaches who it was meant for and that you take what's needed.

New Year. New Season. Lot's more to share on NTSD!

These past few months have opened my eyes to a very important lesson: we don't have to struggle for everything we get to enjoy. It is absolutely OKAY to do and have something just because!

In today's session of Note to Self Diaries, I explore this further by sharing with you how once experience opened me up to saying "yes" to more comfort, more convenience, and more luxury. I also talk about the guilt I experienced after saying, "yes," and the decision I plan to stand by moving forward. 

I hope today's session reaches who it was meant for and that you take what's needed.

We're closing out Season 2 with this reminder: we are no longer matching energies.

Responding in kind to disrespect, rude behavior, and the like actually does more harm to us than the other person. As we move closer towards closing the chapter that is 2021- and as we drop the curtain on Season 2, I hope this session of Note to Self Diaries encourages you to go high as they go low.

Thank you for pressing play. Thank you for your continued support. And I look forward to learning and growing with you, God's willing, in 2022.

Sometimes you hear something and it clicks right away, and other times you have to hear something several times before you get the revelation. Here's a hard truth I had to come to terms with recently: there is no success without difficulties, challenges and uncomfortable moments. You'd think that in my 30 years of living this wouldn't be such a shocker- but guest what? It was! 

In today's session of Note to Self Diaries I talk about the lessons we all need to pay attention to during those uncomfortable times of personal development journey.

Life happens. Things get busy. And sometimes we fall off track in working towards our goals. Instead of beating ourselves up about it, why not hit the reset button? 

Today's session of Note to Self Diaries is a reminder than we can reset as many times as needed. We don't have to stay down just because we missed a few days of consistency.

Wherever there's bait, there will be a bite. Likewise, whenever we hold space for something-especially the things we claim to want to move away from, what happens is we find ourselves in a cycle of bad habits and self-sabotaging behaviours. 

In today's session of Note to Self Diaries, we explore common ways in which we cheat our own growth by choosing not to let go of what is no longer good for us.
