Pineapple Perspective

•Journey•
•
Most of the time, the decision to start a journey will either come from inspiration or desperation. Either way, the fact that you’ve opened your mind & heart to be willing to take life in a new direction is a GOOD SIGN.
•
Some of us seek radical change in almost all areas of our lives & others seek more moderate changes in just a couple areas. Likewise, some of us like to dive all in, 100%, no holds bar & others need to take baby steps and integrate 1 area of growth at a time.
•
I believe it’s so important to understand that IT DOESN’T matter which one you are. It DOESN’T matter how fast or slow you go. It DOESN’T matter what other people are doing. Your journey is unique to YOU. The fact that you believe you’re worth the trip? THAT’S what matters the most.
•
This is the part where I give you the preface, disclaimers, heads up & all that jazz!
•
The topics I dive into are strictly from my experience, faith based perspective and personal research and development. I can only share from that authentic space & I am sharing them with you so you can apply what you want & ignore what you don’t, at your pace, in ways that apply to your journey.
•
That said, the things I say are from a space of being committed to growth. I believe that commitment is definitely required. From my own experience, one of my greatest lessons was actually the fact that you will get out of “it” whatever you put into it! Read that gem a couple of times bc girlll, easier said than done. amirite?!
•
So if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, set on getting unstuck, ready to quit quitting & sold on stepping into your full potential, unapologetically.. then you’re in the right place. Grab your BFF, a notebook, a fluffy pen & some tea.. because we starting at ground zero shamelessly!
•
Ready, set, l*z growww✨

•Challenge Accepted•
•
We’re supposed to post a picture of us feeling the most beautiful. I feel most beautiful when I am
H A P P Y
•
Women supporting women is definitely my jam
•
I don’t believe the future is female, I believe the future is L O V E.
•
We must support each other, empower each other & LOVE each other. Which means:
•
-praying for each other
-connecting with each other beyond just the surface stuff
-having each other’s backs, even if it’s not “convenient”
-being honest & vulnerable
-sharing our ups, downs & in between’s
-hyping each other up for no particular reason
-giving freely our ears, time & heart without expecting anything in return
-becoming the best versions of ourselves so we can push each other & show that WE. ALL. CAN.
•
Challenge or not, we’re in this together.. so let’s vow to go, grow & glow, T O G E T H E R.
•
I’ll start, that’s my Girl Scout Promise to YOU.💕
•
Huge shout out to & thanks for the nomination ladies😘

•Deep•
•
Fun fact. The things I post on my IG are often perceived as “content.” BUT.. I always create and write my captions on the fly. Whatever is on my heart to share on that day, in that moment.💕
•
That said.. This has been a very prominent & reoccurring theme in my life, and one I’ve been hyper focused on the past year & recently I’ve had a hard time figuring out HOW I want to talk about it. The quote is great, however, I am a firm believer that you can read all the empowering/motivational quotes you want, but if you don’t do the work to apply them.. they will do you NO good. amirite?!👀
•
With all the different types of conversations I have with you guys in the DMs about health, faith, relationships, business, parenting, rock bottoms, gratitude, growth & practical application.. I’ve decided to dive into this topic (& there’s a lot more to it than could ever fit into one post) to give you my perspective on how you can ACTUALLY become who you want to be, in every sense.🙌🏼
•
I know there are a lot of new ladies here, so first off.. HIYEEE! If you don’t know much about me, feel free to scroll down on my feed to a baby picture of me, follow the selfies and you’ll be able to hear some of my story.(Then DM me so we can chat & become IG besties👯‍♀️)
•
For those of you who are my ride or dies & have been here with me for a hot minute.. STRAP IN LADIES😜 I see you and I hear you, and most of all, when I say we’re in this journey together, I MEAN IT.
•
Who’s ready to get down N dirty and start ACTUALLY getting a grip on this whole “life” thang?🙋🏻‍♀️

•Reminder•
•
Here’s a couple reminders going into this week..
•
Happiness is either right here, or nowhere at all. Until you give up on the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are.
•
You’ve gotta call yourself out. The biggest reason you keep repeating the same patterns is because you’re letting your insecurities(ego) call the shots. Calling yourself out means you care more about your future, progress and happiness than just protecting your ego.
•
Just quit. Meaning.. change directions, leave an unhealthy situation, demand more from life, make different choices and eliminate CAN’T from your vocabulary.
•
If they really wanted to, they would. If you push them, they might do what you want them to, but if you step back, you’ll see what they’d rather do. Too often, our unhealthy romantic and non-romantic attachments tell a story about an issue we have with ourselves.
•
If you’re not truly happy with yourself, you won’t be truly happy with other aspects of your life either. The relationship you have with yourself is the most complicated because you can’t walk away from you. You have to forgive every mistake. Deal with every flaw. You have to find a way to love you, even when you don’t like you.
•
Taking no risk is the biggest risk of them all. You have to risk failure to succeed. You have to risk rejection to be accepted. You have to risk heartbreak to love. If you’re avoiding risk, you’re missing out on the best parts of your life.
•
Go into this week with honesty, intention, passion, purpose, a plan. Take baby steps if you need to.. just know, I’m rooting for you, I believe in you & YOU CAN.💕

•Own•
•
The most common thing that holds people back from health and happiness in an unwillingness to be honest with themselves.
•
True story.
•
Owning who you are, what you struggle with and where you want to be is the beginning of self-love and freedom.
•
Kinda like when Sir Mix-A-Lot finally admitted that he likes big butts and could not lie. His life blossomed after that!
•
Seriously, boo.. be honest with yourself, own it, work on it, use it & be true to YOU.

•Dance•
•
It’s been hotter than the devils armpit here in Phoenix, so it’s been pool time, all the time.😅
•
But just like that, right this minute, it started to rain.☔️
•
Something I’ve learned along my journey is that sometimes it’s going to rain. A lot of the time, unexpectedly.☝🏼
•
The key here is.. what are you going to do when the rain comes? Are you going to dwell ON it or dance IN it?🤔
•
2020 has hit us all in ways we were not expecting, or thrilled about to say the least. I’ve learned that if you sit in your 💩 things are going to stay mighty stinky.. but if you embrace it, adapt to it and ask God how you can USE it, life will be full of magic instead of mayhem, peace instead of panic & dancing instead of dread.✨
•
If you’re in a rainy season, are you dwelling on it or dancing in it? That simple shift could change the game, sis. It’s time to dance.💕

•Work•
•
If you’re gunna keep trying all the quick fixes, you’re gunna keep going nowhere.. fast.
•
So you want to be financially stable? Take a look at where you’re at. Stop hiding from the bills & the balance. The lottery is NOT the answer. Start saving more and spending less.
•
So you want to be healthier? Stop thinking that it’s this dreadful process. What’s dreadful is how you’re treating your temple. Put the fork down, put your big girl pants on, seek support and start fueling your body.
•
So you want better relationships? Look inward and figure out why you keep letting people treat you less than you’re worth. Don’t confuse attention & investment. Act according to how you’re treated, not how you feel. Pursuit is key, babe.
•
Pray. Get in alignment with what God has planned for your life. Be grateful for where you’re at & what you have. Commit to getting uncomfortable, being vulnerable, taking responsibility and putting in the work.
•
If you’re serious about change, you have to go through uncomfortable situations. Stop trying to dodge the process. It’s the only way to grow.

•Think•
•
When you think about what you want for your life.. what do you see?
•
Success? Love? Freedom? Confidence? Impact? Peace?
•
Now break it down a little more.. what specifically does it look like? How does it feel? What does it mean to you?
•
Now that you’ve got a clear vision, you need to know that if you let it sit in your head and on your heart.. you’re never gunna real life it.
•
You’ve gotta say a prayer & get to work, babe. Make the plan, take the steps(& sometimes risk), and just GO! What’s the alternative here.. staying where you’re at & saying WHAT IF later? Yeahhh, no thx!
•
It’s time to get out of your head and into your life, boo. Now let’s stop thinking about it & start REAL LIFEin it💕

•Phoenix•
•
You’ve been wanting life to get better, right?
•
We often forget that for things to change, the status quo needs to get shaken up, and the stuff that no longer serves us needs to leave to make room for the good stuff.
•
We all love the Phoenix rising from the ashes, but we forget the part where her nest is a bonfire and she’s on fire and everything is scaryAF.
•
Remember, if you want to be a Phoenix, there’s gunna be some fire.
•
Know this too, babe.. if you choose to push through, if you commit to responsibility and accountability, if you make the space.. Just like the Phoenix, you can and you will R I S E.

•Today•
•
4 years ago I would still be fighting rush hour trying to get home from work. Miserable, exhausted and in a foul mood.😒
•
4 years ago I would’ve spent the day as an anxious, stress ridden, broken mess.😩
•
4 years ago I would’ve never even considered going outside, even in my own backyard.. Let alone in a bikini!🤯
•
But here I am, in the middle of the week, by the pool. Having called the shots all day from dress code to working hours & everything in between.😏
•
Didn’t ask ONCE for a bathroom break. Didn’t stress about getting that time off. Didn’t once roll my eyes at the “expectations that would be on my annual review.”✌🏼
•
Here I am. Having given myself a $380 raise. Not from last year, from last week. IT’S ONLY WEDNESDAY. 👀
•
Here I am, doing life with my kids, being the present parent I never thought I’d be, especially by myself.💙
•
Here I am, dancing instead of stressing, growing instead of crying, making an impact on people’s lives instead of making myself the victim, & standing in my faith instead of standing on my own.💯
•
Here I am, overflowing with self-love from the inside out. Proud of myself, confident in my skin, feeling better than I ever have & living a purpose driven life I’ve always dreamed of.😍
•
Don’t get me wrong here. Perfect is a lie. My life is imperfectly perfect, but because of my faith in God, the changes I’ve made, the habits I’ve created, the people I surround myself with & the growth I’m committed to.. my heart is constantly overflowing knowing I will never go back to any part of that old life again.💕
•
It’s mind blowing what kind of freedom some faith & focus can create.✨
•
My DMs are open for you when you’re ready to live the life you’ve always dreamed of, babe. I see you watching so imma keep sayin it until it sinks in.. If I can do it, you sure can too.

•Believe•
•
If you think you’re a turd, you’re probably going to act like a turd, treat yourself like a turd, and accept turd treatment from others.
•
Why the HECK would you do that?!
•
First off, you’re not a turd. It’s scientifically impossible. (Few! Relief, right?!)
•
But even if you HAVE been kind of turdy, shift your thoughts from turdy to golden. You believing you’re golden will bring on all that golden behavior and golden treatment.
•
Today, just believe you’re golden. If you don’t like it, go back to Turdtown tomorrow.

•irl•
•
This is what being a boy mom REALLY looks like.
•
I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world💙

•Go•
•
It’s that simple, babe.
•
You’re not stuck, you’re just going the wrong way.
•
Either turn around and head in the opposite direction, or simply pivot💕

•Salty•
•
Matthew 5:13-14
•
My job as a mother, partner, coach, woman & human being is to bring as much light to this world as possible.
•
Some of the most important things I’ve learned so far..
•
It starts with me. I’ve got to take care of myself first. If my cup is empty I will have nothing to pour into you.
•
Perfection is a lie. There is never a perfect time, perfect circumstances, perfect feelings or a perfect plan. That does NOT mean I am not qualified, capable, worthy or deserving. I will go for it anyway to show you what’s possible with focus and faith.
•
The only thing I will allow myself to be is my true, authentic self. Real. Raw. Strengths. Weaknesses. Victories. Struggles. That’s what makes me..ME! I was made in His perfect image so I will continue to embrace every part of my imperfectly perfect self so that in the process, I can inspire you to do the same.
•
The world is so big, so valuable, so magical & has so much to offer. I have spent far too long stuck in my head, talking myself out of more magic than I care to admit. I will continue to stay out of my head and into my life, living big, loving hard, taking chances & being salt for the earth and a light for this world. Because let me tell you.. if I can do it, you can too, babe.
•
Let’s stay salty & be the light, together.

•Savage•
•
Every human on this earth has gone through some hard, trying, embarrassing, dark things in their life.
•
Perfection is a lie. We ALL have our ISH, but listen up.. one of the worst things you could do for yourself is put a bandaid on something that needs surgery OR ignore it all together as if that will make it go away!
•
That’s fear driven behavior. That ain’t you. You’re a badass. Sometimes you’ve gotta get thug about it & act like an OG.
•
You know who the real OGs are? The ones who ain’t got nothin’ to hide from anyone, especially themselves. Real OGs claim their humanity. They hold those wounds up to the light like Mufasa holding Simba.
•
Can you hear the inspirational music starting? Yeah, that’s you starting to be the hero of your own journey & God reminding you that He’s got your back.
•
Acknowledge it. Accept it. Feel it. Heal it, baby.

•MOOD•
•
Officially a pink lady✌🏼
•
I remember the days when I would TAKE the pics so I didn’t have to be in them. When I hide myself in the back of the group, or behind ANYTHING I could so I didn’t have to be fully seen. When I looked in the mirror and it brought me to tears.
•
Those days sucked.
•
I have a much different days now. I love what I see in the mirror. I feel confident AND sexy in my cloths. I’m totally down to be IN FROMT of the camera. And those are just physical differences! My mind, heart and soul are on a WHOLE different level!
•
But here’s the thing, boo. In order to be where I’m at now, I had to move different than I did then. It didn’t happen overnight. I had to get honest with myself. REQL HONEST. I had to make different choices, and then STICK TO THEM. Even when I didn’t feel like it. I had to do things that were challenging & made me uncomfortable. I had to remember where I started, where I wanted to be & how important it was for me to never go back.
•
I did small, simple things. Every. Single. Day. Got support. Surrounded myself with dope females who would be there with me through the good, bad & ugly. And for the first time in my life.. I chose not to quit on myself.
•
Because of that I have lost 165lbs. I am truly happy from the inside out. I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. I have friends that have turned into family. My attitude and mindset have done a complete 180. I am closer to God than I’ve ever been. I know my worth. I’m a present & intentional mom. I’m in control of my emotions, my routine, my finances, & FUTURE.
•
I’ve come so far in such a short period of time & I get fired up every day knowing that I GET TO push myself, try new things, love where I’m at AND work towards where I’m going.
•
Okay, so like.. good for me, right?!
W R O N G! I’m saying this to show you what’s possible. Because IT IS POSSIBLE. If a 278lb, broke, divorced, negative ass female like myself can do it..
You👏🏼Can👏🏼Too👏🏼
•
This is why I share my life, experiences & what I love. To inspire you & let you know you always have this pink lady in your corner to reach out to whenever you’re ready💕

•Shame•
•
Anything truly cool about you was created from the life you’ve lived.
•
Remember that when you start to wind down the shame spiral.
•
No time is wasted. No love is wasted. No tears are wasted. No breath is wasted.
•
You being you is important and every single thing that made you is of value.
•
Tell shame to suck it✌🏼

•Faith•
•
We tend to spend a significant amount of time thinking about what needs to happen & how we want it to happen.. just to be frustrated and let down when things don’t unfold like we had meticulously planned.
•
Then what? Then we are MORE anxious, MORE defeated, in need of MORE control and we start the cycle all over again doing the SAME THING in hopes of creating a better outcome the next go around.
•
This is how bad habits are created, how negative mindsets are put on autopilot, how limiting beliefs and FEAR run so deep that you can’t even recognize them for what they actually are! & it becomes your negative norm before you know it.
•
Your familiar past, will sooner or later be your predictable future. Meaning.. if you keep doing the same things/thinking the same thoughts, you are going to get the same outcomes/feel the same emotions.
•
The #1 thing that got me out of these cycles was.. F A I T H. I’m NOT talking about saying a little prayer & hoping for the best. I’m talking about having your goal/dream/vision clear and set in stone.. but being FLEXIBLE on how you are going to get there! Operating from a space of faith, not fear. Releasing control. Having FAITH that even if it doesn’t unfold the same IRL as in your head.. you’re still getting there! You’re still ending those self damaging cycles. You’re still doing 1% better each day. You’re still moving in a forward, positive, intentional, purpose driven direction!
•
I can’t emphasize enough how much FAITH changes the game. What you’ve been doing not working out so hot? For the next 3 days, try this out. Choose to release control, have someone to talk to about it, trust that fear is a liar and have FAITH that you can & you WILL.
•
Faith over fear, babe.

•Today•
•
Two of the worst things you could can do: Dwell on the past & worry about the future.
•
Nothing can be done on those 2 days! You can only extract feelings from them & more often than not, those feelings are negative and will NOT serve you.
•
Open up your eyeballs and look around. Even if you happen to be in the crappiest of times, there’s probably something beautiful to notice right this very second.
•
There’s only one day of the year when anything can be done.
T O D A Y
So focus your energy on the things that serve you, the small changes you can make & being present in each moment!

•Mom•
•
This will always be my favorite picture of us. On the boardwalk of California Adventure when I was 19 & workin for dat mouse. You came to visit and seeing you on that trip hit different. Living a state apart made me appreciate you & our relationship on another, much deeper level. Everything you do comes from the most loving space and you are always an ear to listen, a hand to hold and everything in between. The boys and I love you so much and are so grateful for every talk, laugh, hangout and memory we get to have with you. I’m so glad we could sing to & talk to you yesterday for your birthday but we can’t WAIT to celebrate with you this weekend! Love you more than words could ever express. God sure knew what He was doing when He made you my mama🙏🏼💕🐘🌹🎉🍰

•Worry•
•
Where focus goes, energy flows.
•
When’s the last time worrying made that thing you were worrying about actually improve?
•
Same.
•
Listen, you don’t need any of that angsty, nail-biting nonsense in ya life!
•
If you catch yourself worrying, take a deep breath (or 3) and think about or say out loud what you WANT.
•
Not what you don’t want, not what you see right now, not how you got here, not what’s worrying you..
WHAT. YOU. WANT!
•
Stop treating yourself like you belong on the drive thru dollar menu when you know darn right you are a main course at Mastro’s! Remember, the universe (aka God) always let’s you change your order & hell yeah you want fries with that! Go on and supersize that ISH.
•
Worrying is a negative prayer. It’s time to start heading in a POSITIVE direction and upgrading to who you REALLY are and what you ACTUALLY want, babe!

•New Normal•
•
When the new normal got you feelin like the terminator😂😷 swipe left to see the new vibe of all black errythanggg😜😎
•
There’s clearly a lot of feels around this so I want to share my mindset on the matter..💭
•
I’m a God fearing woman & that’s the only thing I “fear.”🙏🏼
•
I have Lupus, which is an autoimmune disease. I am VERY focused on keeping my body healthy and my immune system poppin. I choose to do so through good nutrition, supplements I trust, exercise, hydration, stress management & adequate sleep.🥗🥤
•
I am not a fan of THE MASK (not you Jim Carrey- Luh you bro). So I CHOOSE to not put myself in a position to wear them whenever possible. Ie: delivery, pickup, curbside & dat amazon prime life.🙌🏼
•
When I am not in that position, I obviously wear a mask. For myself, my kids & everyone around me. Also, not tryin to get fined/in trouble. Ya heard?☝🏼
•
I care about everyone’s health and well-being & I support you in whatever that means for YOU.✨
•
Most of all- you and I can have different views, opinions, & beliefs and STILL BE COOL ✌🏼
•
Read that last one again, yeah?😘
•
That said, imma be over here making adjustments, seeing the good, finding the positive, spreading love & good vibes and living my best life!😍
•
And THAT, sis, is exactly what I hope you CHOOSE too.💕 @ Scottsdale, Arizona

•Today•
•
What’s the first thing you think of when you read “that self-destructive thing you do”?💭
•
There it is.☝🏼
•
Now, imagine what it would be like to stop doing that thing. Like, right now.😍
•
Think of who you could ask for help.. because if you could’ve stopped on your own, you probably already would have.✨
•
Now call* that person and ask for help! You can even make up a code word**, like “bamboozle” or “kaka” (if you’re grammatically challenged like me & need a short and sweet attention grabber😜)
•
Let’s stop the self-destruction & get to life lovin, shall we?💕
•
*or txt/DM-it’s totes not weird anymore💁🏻‍♀️
**or emoji-they’re often more effective than words. amirite?🦧🧽🦥

•Resistance•
•
Soaking in everything God is doing in my crazy, boy mommin, biz growin, memory makin, b***y shakin, opportunity takin life! The hard work, the upgrades, the serious times and the silly moments!
•
The key here? I stopped resisting life! Everything I JUST KNEW was going to happen, didn’t. The things I would’ve said NEVER to, have turned into the biggest blessings!
•
When things go left, I already know, it’s so my life can go RIGHT! Simply put, when you change your mindset, you change your life! lol
•
But for real tho, sis.. if things aren’t going how you planned, you’re not the woman, mother, partner or friend you want to be.. please know, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THAT.
•
All it takes is a little less resistance & a little more willingness. A little less criticism & a little more consistency. A little les why me & a little more try me!
•
Once you stop resisting life, things change BIG. Go for that opportunity that you’ve been seeing out there & keep counting yourself out for. Talk to your IG sis that has what you want in life. Give yourself permission to GO FOR IT! Use your power, do what you want to do, be who you want to be! That choice, I promise you, will change the game!

•Magic•
•
Notice how you feel when you’re with a person, or group of people.
•
What do you talk about? Is it mostly problems, complaints and other people?
•
What activities do you do? Are they mostly based on escaping your reality or “taking a much needed break”??
•
How do you feel when you’re with them? Are you fueled negatively by your conversations? Do you end feeling drained or irritable?
•
If you related to any of these answers.. sis, you’re gunna want to evaluate your current situation.
•
If the people in your life make you feel like crap, stop engaging with them. It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing deal, but watch how much you let people influence you in a negative way. It’s that straightforward. For reals.
•
It doesn’t make them (or you) a bad person, it just means you’re looking for a different type of connection, a different type of influence.
•
Then GO. Find the people who pull the magic out of you. The ones who work hard AND play hard! The ones who make you feel uplifted, supported, encouraged, re-energized, purpose driven!
•
Your network is your net worth! That applies financially, physically, emotionally & spiritually!
•
Choose magic over madness, babe. It will change your whole life.

•Mission•
•
Be a badass love beam today!♥️
•
That’s right- today it’s your job to fill every room you go into with laser beams of love.💥
•
If you can’t do laser beams, then make your heart a bubble machine and fill the room with bubbles.😍
•
If that doesn’t work for you then you should bring donuts to work. (Dem protein donuts thooo🔥) Donuts make everyone happy!🍩
•
Now put on your positive pants and go forth with your mission, you beautiful, badass, love Jedi✨💕

•Heart•
•
It takes a lot of courage to be authentic in this world.
•
Showing your heart doesn’t mean you’re weak or soft all the time. It doesn’t mean that you’re a hot mess or a doormat.
•
It means that you’re showing up fully as yourself.
•
You know what IS weak? Living a fake life trying to please other people.
•
Read some books. Find some podcasts. Think by yourself for a while. Reconnect with your authentic self.
•
Then move forward. Show up as her in each moment. However big or small. In or out of sight from other people.
•
Watch how free you start to feel. Watch how empowered you become. Watch how you attract what you truly desire.
•
Be your authentic self. Show your heart to people.
•
THAT is your superpower.

•Grateful•
•
The moment you start acting like life is a blessing, it starts feeling like one.💕
•
Get grateful. Get grateful. GET GRATEFUL! If you’re looking for answers, the easiest way to fix any problem is to start with gratitude.✨
•
A couple short years ago I had 2 tiny little humans (aka 2 very large handfuls!), I was 278lbs, divorced, effed financially, completely lost with no direction & feeling like the ultimate failure.😩
•
What took me from my breakdown to my breakthrough was gratitude. I know right?! Like for real? Girl, I can’t make this up.☝🏼
•
Instead of sitting in my 💩 like I always had I decided to take a look at my life through a different pair of sunnies. I had to get extreme at first, but whatevs! Anything was better than what I was doing (which wasn’t freaking working)👀
•
Instead of crying (again) about my weight, I decided to be grateful that I didn’t have diabetes (what my doc was warning me about) & that I wasn’t actively sick. I knew I didn’t want things to get WORSE so I kept my gratitude for where I was at & made a plan of how I was going to improve it. 165lbs later I feel better than I ever have in my life & I’m a completely different woman from the inside out, in all the best ways!😍
•
I tackled all aspects of my life this way.. & Sis every single one of them is now better than I could’ve ever imagined.. and still improving!🤯
•
What I’m saying is.. choose gratitude FIRST. Always! Start small, go extreme if you have to.. just start!🔥
•
Look around and name something that’s awesome. Do you have a truly amazing cat? Freak yeah! What’s awesome about that cat? Aren’t you glad it’s alive?😻
•
Do you hate cats and don’t have one? Isn’t it amazing that you don’t have to live with one of those furry little creeps?!😼
•
Okay, now keep going🤍

•PositiveAF•
•
People ask me all the time how I am ALWAYS so happy.😆
•
NEWS FLASH: I’m NOT always happy. What I AM always, is positive. The difference? Happy is an emotion. Positive is a choice.☝🏼
•
I used to be the captain of the Hot Mess Express. You know, that roller coaster in your head that is constantly pulling you in so many directions that you wanna puke?! Yeah. That one!😅🙋🏻‍♀️
•
Imma tell you right now, sis.. it’s because I was letting my emotions call the shots and then acting like I had no control over how I felt. + = 😩
•
I had to step off the ride, pull myself together and DECIDE that I was going to be in control.. and then CHOOSE (legit, moment by moment at first) a positive thought no matter how small, how extreme, how cliche.. no matter what! And then keep doing that over and over until it became my new habit of CHOICE!🗣
•
Now, I choose to be positive on autopilot and MANNN the differences it has made! I feel in control, I feel free, not chained by my emotions, I’m a better woman, mother, decision maker, biz owner.. and that only scratches the surface🤯

Here’s my challenge to you, babe. Start small, keep it simple & stay CONSISTENT! Start by making sure you laugh every day! If you find yourself with a head full of crap, go watch some videos of babies laughing or goats screaming or old people getting pranked. It’s helpful to think of laughing as a mental pooper-scooper. You gotta get the turds out so you have room for fresh N positiveAF thoughts!😉✨😘
