This week we're talking about being valued vs. tolerated. There have been too many times that we have allowed ourselves to be tolerated vs. valued in our professional & personal life. It's time to change that. Let's talk about what you can do to identify it and fix it. It won't be easy. But, we're in this together.

Tips to help you recognize whether you are "tolerated" or "valued":

1. If you feel that there is something not right, ask for clarity about the situation.
2. Try not to make assumptions
3. Control your emotions and be prepared for the answer you receive  
4. Take a moment to process what you uncover 
5. Be clear about what you want from the situation or person
6. Be impeccable with your words toward yourself and other people
7. Decide your course of action based on your personal boundaries

This week is round 2 of  joy. This week we get a little clearer about what you can do to begin the process of "doing the work" to manifest joy and happiness.

Episode 67 "Possessing the Secret of Joy":  https://www.buzzsprout.com/851650/8641891-possessing-the-secret-of-joy.mp3?download=true

Five tips for beginning the journey to joy (Self-Awareness Work):

1. Check in with yourself: Is it time to bring someone else in to help you deal with your feelings? Do you have a supportive environment to process any feelings that can be holding you back?
2. Begin to look at what happiness/recognition/love/joy  looks like for you: This is your time to define what this feels like. What affirms you? Check out the " Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman : https://www.5lovelanguages.com
3. You have to put it into practice:  You need to be willing to look at the areas of your life that don’t make you happy and/or bring you joy and start making adjustments.Check out the "Year of Yes" by Shonda Rhimes: https://www.amazon.com/Year-Yes-Dance-Stand-Person/dp/1476777128 
4. You have to be your greatest cheerleader: You must be able to speak over yourself. This is going to help you stay focused as you're moving through the challenges that life will throw at you. 
5. Accountability: Use your voice to make sure that when you're not feeling affirmed, that you take steps to correct it. This is done through love with a desire to manifest growth.

This week it's all about joy. Let's talk about how happiness is the minimum, but joy needs to be the standard. Let's get clear on what joy looks and feels like. Let's also talk about how we need to ensure we're doing the work to ensure we're open enough to receive joy when it's presented to us. It's a journey, let's take it together.

This week we're talking more about vulnerability, and my continued love for "You Are Your Best Thing" by Tarana Burke and Brene' Brown. But, we also dive into how it important it is to remember that you're a baddie. It's important to heal, but it's also important to remember that you're amazing. So, let's dive into how we have to pivot vulnerability into being able to talk about our accomplishments and speak life into ourselves. Let's find some joy together!!
