As I was practicing mindfulness this morning on a day of celebration for African Americans, self love came to me in my spirit.

It's something that we need to practice to operate at our higher selves and to fully manifest what we desire. 

By referencing 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and with the help of a powerful person, my mentor, Shanel Cooper-Sykes, this scripture is broken down to explain how to love yourself and how it's apart of wellness.

Here is the breakdown of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 so you can take notes. 

1. Love is patient

2. Love is kind

3. Love does not envy

4. Love does not boast

5. Love is not proud

6. Love does not dishonor

7. Love is not self-seeking

8. Love is not easily angered

9. Love keeps not record or wrong-doing

10. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth

11. Love always protects

12. Love always trusts

13. Love always hopes

14. Love always perseveres (long-suffering)

15. Love never fails!!!

Will you start practicing self-love today?

Depression in Women

This episode explains different reasons why women experience depression.

Depression can be from chemical imbalances in the brain. The chemicals or neurotransmitters that are involved include serotonin (Happy hormone), acetylcholine (memory hormone), dopamine (action hormone/movement), and norepinephrine (react hormone). 

Depression may also be caused by other underlying medical conditions such as thyroid issues, cancer, and other diseases. 

Depression may also be genetic. 

Things you can do to help with depression

1. Consult your medical practitioner

2. Nutrition-A lot of fruits and vegetables (live foods)

3. Exercise -increases serotonin levels; nothing strenuous; 30 minutes a day for 5 days. Examples: gardening, walking, resistant band training

4. Sunlight (Vitamin D absorption)

Essential oils 

1. Citrus oils-uplift your mood (Lemon, Bergamot, Grapefruit)

2. Grounding oils-keep you centered, helps calm the nervous system (Frankincense, Vetiver, Myrrh)
