You are being true to yourself when

You understand that you have to be honest with yourself before you can be honest with anyone else. You make space in your life to connect with yourself - meditating, walking in nature, journaling. This also means you face the harsh realities you may be tempted to avoid. 

You refuse to hide your thoughts and feelings just to make other people feel comfortable. You’re willing to risk being vulnerable and embarrassed because you know your feelings are valid and sharing them is key to better relationships.

You know your needs don’t have to look like anyone else’s. Someone else can function on 4 hours of sleep or pack their schedule with social engagements. You do what’s right and take care of you for you. 

You understand that being disliked by a few is a by-product of being genuine. This doesn’t mean being rude or disrespectful. It means you're not for everyone and that's okay.

You surround yourself with people who respect and support you in your growth. You understand that when people don’t do that, it is just them. You don’t allow them space to convince you that there is something wrong with your choices or you.

You understand that your values are your compass in life. You self check-in regularly to be sure you’re living a life that feels right, even if it means not climbing the corporate ladder or getting a lavish wedding.

You rather be judged and embaressed for changing directions than to accept a reality that feels wrong. The courage to say,” This isn’t right for me so I am going to make another change,” is true strength. 

Restoring and Replanting Myself

I’ve been taking the time to go internal. I’ve been taking the time to be alone and really figure out what keeps me going. I love love, but now is not my time for a romantic partnership. Now is my time to create friendships that exhibit the type of love I would like to have in the future. I have been working on creating more meaningful relationships all around…with friends, family, strangers,…

Bettering Yourself With Music Therapy

Musical therapy has been around since the late 1700s, early 1800s. In the year 2024, we now know that there are many different tips and tricks throughout this therapy approach that was not an option when it first began. With this new information, the amount of people who choose to partake in musical therapy has increased over the years. Music therapy consists of listening to, and playing music — you discuss what the music does for you mentally, you use it to help process your emotions, and it also helps with relaxation.

One thing we now know about, is brain waves. The stronger the beat, the more it helps to stimulate brainwaves — this helps the mind to sync with the available beat. Having a sharper concentration and having more alert thinking also identifies directly with strong beats. On the other hand, the slower beats help to promote a calm, meditative state.

When it comes to your state of mind, music therapy can help to keep stress, anxiety, and depression at a distance. The elevating music tones, or strong emotions portrayed in their lyrics can also improve upon your mental state. Having a positive mindset can avert the stress response from laying waste on the body.

Music therapy is an important task. It helps improve life quality in many forms. Some people who participate in musical therapy have had traumatic brain injuries, some people are elderly and in pain, others are on the spectrum, some have dementia, some people try music therapy when being diagnosed with acute and chronic pain. There is no one thing that working through therapy musically fixes. It’s a broad range of diagnoses that bring people together in this manner.

Music therapy lowers your blood pressure. Music therapy helps. It is one way for us to reconnect with ourselves — even if the music sounds kinda crazy. I think connecting as one with the music is the whole point in the exercise. To improve life quality — in a musical form is such an amazing thing to experience, even if the circumstances are not very uplifting.

A huge issue in life is anxiety and stress levels going through the roof. We are in a state of financial ruin, so many people are struggling with all kinds of needs in life. Trying music therapy may be the one answer we all need. Let’s go off and BETTER OURSELVES.

You are the sum of the 5 closest people you associate with. Are those people adding value to your life and pushing you to be better or are they providing negativity in your life? You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: IS THAT OKAY? #YouAreTheSum #IfYouDontLikeWhereYouAreChangeThings #IfNothingChangesNOTHINGChanges #AddValue #IronSharpensIron #PushYourself #EverythingYouDoMatters #LiveALifeYouWontRegret #WhereDoYouWantToBe #SingleMom #SingleMomLife #Single #TexasGirl #Over40 #GenX #Follow #KeepMovingForward #StrongerThings #BetterEveryDay #BetterYourself https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWe2APtP2gjVeKcStHEWjn-7Tmb1ffizVGQus0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Embrace the dark side

By choice we can be headed towards much higher energy when the old structures around us crumble. Think about a dial up telephone and when you first saw a push buttons phone.

Transformation when you’re not awake can be painful. Resisting transformation will only make it that not fun to go through. When you live in the light, you really can't help but always look for transformation opportunities - How can I grow? How can I improve? What can I upgrade in my life? What’s holding me back from what I want?

I think the high ground and stay with the high ground even as the world around me fight and grapple.

The energy shifts these times is similar to that in the 1200-1500s, the one that took us from the dark ages to the Italian renaissance. What if that is the time again now? There is so much pain and uncertainty now when things were changing but if there were infinite gains then, I believe it will happen again. Things were so much better after all that shifts. An example is that people like Davinci, Michealangelo, Rafael, Galileo emerged as leaders of the renaissance.

The collective side is dark now. There is so much negativity, fighting and discord in the world. Yet the darker it is on one side, the brighter the other side is. When you think of something that's really bad, the other side is really good.

"Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled." —The Kybalion

I want to be ready and get ahead of what's coming. What I do not have, I will get it. What the loose ends in my life are, I will let go of them. What I am resisting, I will trust the universe and do the work with fear in my heart, and fire in my soul.

Let's all choose to be a part of the emerging energy, so when it gets tough, we know what to hang onto.

A major diet change is coming, because @chunkysquirrel_inc got his results and his A1C results were high where he needed a new medication, so with his OTC he bought some @liveowyn protein shakes and he also has to change up what kinda foods he’s going to have to start having … This will be hard but it will be worth it… hopefully #owynprotein #proteinshake #health #healthy #plantbased #dietchallenge #betteryourself https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7z_g8yCk_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Beginning Of Bettering Yourself.

Life is nature, there is absolutely no avoiding it. Let’s stop and take a comparison of our lives to the nature out in the real world. Let’s change our perspective, and show the world what we can do. Who we can be.

Every person who wants to improve upon their lives — especially for people who have artistic capabilities, people who want to believe, people who just want to live a good life. Having a safe space within your home is important. People really need a time to getaway. No matter what the circumstances are, you should always try to remember that having alone time is healthy.

Growing up— the fear of being alone has always haunted me. It’s time for me, and everyone else to take control of life and not allow anything else to hold us back. Life can be so frustrating, so difficult. We need to just try and let it all go. The pain, the sadness, the anger, everything. Try learning new skills , or hobbies— baking, graphic design, drawing, crochet, yoga, meditation, calligraphy, even exercising.

I will be posting daily — discussing tips and ideas on things we can do in order to be okay every day, not just temporarily.
