Fearless Nfluence

In order to create the life you want, you have to think positively and believe in yourself. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬. If you think about all of the negative things in your life, you'll get more of the same. But if you focus on the positive, you'll get more of that too.

One of the best ways to start thinking positively is to ✨change your language✨

Instead of saying "𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥," say "𝐈'𝐦 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝."
Instead of "𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴," say "𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬."
You'll be surprised at how just a few small changes in your language can make a big difference in your outlook on life.

When it comes to making your thoughts become reality, you have to take action. If you want to be successful, you have to work for it. You can't just sit around and expect things to happen on their own. You have to put in the effort and make it happen.
The bottom line is that your thoughts become your reality. If you want to create a life you love, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. Change your language, take action, and stay focused on what you want. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it!

➡️SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS.
A queen must know who she is. You can't be a queen if you're not sure of your own strength and power. A queen knows her worth and doesn’t let anyone else tell her otherwise. She stands up for herself and what she believes in, no matter what others think. And even when things don’t go her way, she never loses faith in herself.

➡️SHE IS NOT DEPENDENT ON ANYONE ELSE.
A queen who can stand on her own is respected by her people and is less likely to be overthrown.

➡️SHE IS STRONG-WILLED.
A queen must be brave enough to stand up for her people and make difficult decisions. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭.

➡️SHE SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF OTHERS.
She 's the one who builds her people up, rather than tearing them down. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬.

✨ NEW EPISODE!! ✨ Content Warning: We talk about many heavy topics during this episode. Please remember to put yourself and your well-being first in deciding what to engage with and consume. Topics covered: Postpartum Depression, Postpartum Psychosis, General Depression, and Anxiety.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During this episode we sit down with Sasha Nicole.

When it comes to interacting with others, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝. This is especially important in our personal relationships, where we need to be able to share our thoughts and feelings openly and honestly without fear of being judged or rejected. Just as importantly, we need to be able to listen attentively and empathically to the thoughts and feelings of others.

Being able to effectively communicate with others is essential for building strong, healthy relationships. When we feel like we can open up and share what's on our mind, 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧. Conversely, when we feel like our concerns are dismissed or ignored, it can lead to frustration and resentment.

Listening attentively and empathically is the 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. It's not always easy to do, but it's worth making the effort. By taking the time to really listen to what the other person is saying, we can gain a better understanding of their point of view and figure out a way to resolve any conflicts that may arise.

Communication is a two-way street, and both parties need to be willing to share and listen attentively in order for it to be effective. When we make an effort to understand others, they are more likely to respond positively and open up to us as well.

So go ahead and give it a try – you may be surprised at how much difference it can make in your relationships.
