What will it take for you to lower your guard?In this life, we will meet all kinds of people. Some will betray us and take our love for granted, but some will truly care and stay with us through thick and thin. If we are constantly guarding our true selves and emotions, we will miss the people and opportunities we truly need.A lot of healing takes place in belonging to a community but until you lower your guard, you will not truly experience that feeling and benefits of being in one. Yes, people have hit you hard. Maybe the blow was so hard that you tumbled and fell, I am sorry that was your experience, but you get to determine how long you want to stay down.Here is my advice to you: don't think about how people can take advantage of you, think about how you will discover people who will accept you despite whatever it is you are guarding.I know that being part of a community requires trust. That trust doesn’t come easily because underneath the lack of trust lies fear.Fear of rejectionFear of being ridiculedFear of failureFear of being wrongFear of committing ourselves and having to follow throughFear of being taken advantage ofMost people who have had their trust violated, particularly those of who were betrayed or abused repeatedly and at a young age, have trust challenges. We tend to have little trust in ourselves and we over or under trust people. Often we trust the wrong people and end up betrayed. So we put up the walls. Due to those walls we fail to trust the right people and sometimes lose the people who could have helped us the most.It's a real struggle to be able to come to realize that there are people worth trusting and then trust yourself enough to be open to them.Along with the struggle is  a lot of "what ifs". What if I lower my guard and my worst fear is confirmed. Well, here is a what if for you. What if you let your guard down, and you get to know people worth keeping in your life.Listen to this 11 minutes episode to find out more about why and how to lower your guard.

The queen of hearts and smiles joins me in this episode to share the lessons she learned in 2020. She says, "You have the power to change everything. Circumstances and people will happen all around you but you are the one to make the final decisions based on your values. Don't bend and break your values for nobody. Those who are to be in your life will be there despite your values." This really spoke to me. She also shared on: • creating time for family and friends  so you won't be so close yet so far away. • how to practice patience and have the right attitude while waiting • why you have a story and you have to share it. • Narrowing down to one thing and being a master at one thing. • Getting your values straight for optimal impact • How emotional intelligence can give you peace in your relationships. • What you need to maintain healthy friendships.After listening to this inspiring conversation, please connect with her on: Cli & Mils TV: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6jO...LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/notifications/Royal Inspiration Int'l: https://www.facebook.com/MotivoEducoI...Royalty International: https://www.facebook.com/TransDev4Lif...Princess C.

How do you respond to loss?Grieving is a difficult and unique experience. We all deal with it in different ways. However, we can find strength and comfort in learning from people going through the same process. This is why support groups have proven to be very beneficial. Today, you are going to receive support from Asumpta Widak, as she shares her experience and lessons with us. I was touched to the core when she said, "it's okay to not be okay and you don't have to explain to people why you are not okay." This is just a tip of this life transforming conservation.Listen to this episode, share it with your friends because we have all experience one kind of loss or another, subscribe to this podcast and visit and subscribe to Asumpta Widak's podcast God's spoken word on Spotify, Anchor, Google podcast,  Apple Podcast or wherever you love listening to podcast.

Do any of these phrases sound familiar:Don’t let your feelings control you.Pull yourself together!I tried so hard to stay calm but I just blurted out the moment I saw him.I can't stop doing what I do?I feel like I'm a failure?Friends, sometimes you try so hard to contain a feeling but it leaves you overwhelmed, scared and feeling like you failed because you have been told that your feelings are not in charge. You have control over your feelings. In reality all you see is your feeling having control over you. so, it makes you more frustrated for not doing what you assumed will be an easy task.  It could be easy if you have the right strategy and apply it consistently but it doesn’t happen spontaneously like breathing, blinking and stuff like that. In this episode, you will learn from the Psalmist;Difference between emotions and feelingsHow to identify the root emotion underneath the feeling.How to take an empowering action despite the feeling. You will be inspired and encouraged by this episode.

Research shows that over 90% of our behaviors are on autopilot. This means we rarely use the space between stimulus and response. You know, when that happens, we say and do things we regret shortly after. In this episode you will be reminded of four simple steps to regulate emotions and maximize that space. As Viktor Frankl puts it, " in that space lies our freedom and growth."Your emotions don't have to control you. You can take back that power, use it to build confidence, competence, strength, resilience and self-control. If you are a parent or caregiver, you will master how to help your children regulate their emotions as well.
