5-Minute Self-Care Ideas: Quick and Easy Ways to Boost Your Well-Being
Imagine sliding into a warm delicious-smelling bubble bath after a long day at work. Or curling up on the couch with your favorite mystery as you try to figure out whodunit.
But let’s be real, when you’re a busy woman working full time you don’t feel like you have time for self-care of any kind.
And I feel like the older I get the more I feel guilty for wanting to do anything I consider to be fun or not productive.
Being over 35 is a trip ain’t it? But the thing is, you shouldn’t feel guilty for “indulging “ in self-care or even feel like you don’t have time.
It can be especially hard to take care of yourself if you are struggling with depression or anxiety (or ADHD) like I have had in the past. The guilt is extra real then. Continue reading

35 Awesome Self Discovery Journal Prompts To Help You Become “That Girl”!
Self Discovery Journal Prompts to Help You Find Yourself
I don’t know about you but I feel like the world is constantly trying to put me in a box of some sort. If you’re black then you should think this way. If you’re a woman you should feel that way.
It gets a little old and you might feel the same way! I am a woman who is trying to become more of who God wants me to be but it can be hard to find your identity in a society that wants to pigeonhole you.
So what you have to do is deliberately use tools like self-discovery journaling so that your true self doesn’t fade. Now I personally believe that everyone should find the core of their identity in Christ but I know many people don’t agree.

I know you may be there thinking, well it’s easier said than done considering how much you have to juggle through daily.
But let me remind you that it’s possible. I face the same challenges myself and one of the ways I’ve learned to keep my sanity and get my life back on track is by using self-discovery journal prompts. Plus, I’ll explain what I believe “becoming that girl” really means!

A Powerful Prayer (& Solutions) To Overcome A Toxic Work Environment That Has Become Unbearbale!
Prayers For A Toxic Work Environment That Has Become Unbearable!
I used to hate going to work when I started my first real job. Why? Because I was having ummm, how shall we say, difficulties at work with my supervisor.
And because of that, I went to work with a feeling of anxiety and dread in my stomach. If you’ve ever worked in a toxic work environment then you understand what I mean. You may love what you’re actual job entails but you struggle to love the people you work with.
I know that Jesus has told us to love everyone but frankly some people don’t make it easy. It is what it is.
But even still that’s what we are supposed to do. So what are some ways we can lovingly deal with people at work who we might just want to toss into the river (okay I don’t mean that literally, of course)?
I have some ideas and also a prayer that you can write down and say before and during work so that no one gets hurt lol

7 motivating mindset journaling tips to smash your goals
Girl, sometimes I just don’t wanna do anything. I have all these goals and dreams and it seems like they’re right there within reach but you just get burned out from trying to accomplish them.
Can you relate? You just don’t really want to try anymore.
You don’t feel motivated and start to lose faith that you’re on the right track or that you’ll ever succeed. That’s how exactly how I’ve felt so many times before.
I know that when I’ve played my one-millionth game of Project Makeover (give or take a few), I need to snap out of it and try a new approach.
Naturally, it makes sense for me to turn to my first love which is writing.
When you need a mindset shift in a hurry, journaling (and prayer) is one of the best things you can do!
We all get burnt out, uninspired, and mentally exhausted sometimes but we don’t always understand why.
Mindset journaling is a boss at revealing all of the reasons why we might be feeling this way.
So if you’ve felt less than excited about pursuing your goals lately, I hope these mindset journaling prompts and tips will get you pumped about what the future holds for you!Continue reading

Overcoming Fear with Faith: 5 Practical Tips To Let Go & Let God
Overcoming Fear with Faith: 5 Practical Tips To Let Go & Let God
Fear used to be my go-to emotion in any situation. I wasn’t always like that but over time, the devil assisted me in becoming addicted to anxiety.
Maybe you can relate…
Have you ever been too afraid to try something because you fear failing again?
Been there done that (still do at times!)
Have fearful thoughts deprived you of all the liberty you should enjoy as a Christian woman?
Do you feel held back because you fear that you’ll make a grave mistake?
Maybe you’re starting to believe those nagging thoughts that tell you you’ll never be good enough at anything you do.
What about when you’ve prepared adequately for your presentation, but you’re afraid you’ll look like a fool in front of so many? (Ugh, I’ve so been there and done that…embarrassingly so).
“When will I ever be good enough? When will I ever be free to live truly, love, and laugh?”
Does that sound like you?
Do you sense that being afraid is costing you joy, fulfillment, accomplishments, stability, and some extra peace of mind?
If this resonates with you, trust me when I say it resonates so much with me cos that’s the exact person I used to be… till I discovered the secrets of overcoming fear with faith.
I know you want a change…and I hope that the tips I’m going to share with you today will be the beginning of that change.
Fear is not something that overwhelms me constantly like it once did.
Yes, I still suffer from it but it’s not a constant companion like it once was.
If fear and anxiety are something that you want freedom from, I encourage you to read over these words and begin to implement them into your life!
