I used to be so bothered by the negative words in my head of the things people used to say to me that reflected onto my own insecurities and self-confidence. In truth, I truly felt deep inside I didn't feel worthy enough to have the things I desired to have. To the point where it became actually exhausting to deal with my own emotions. I wanted to change my mindset of not feeling worthy? But how?! I know change can be really hard. Especially grieving the person you used to be in order to grow into a better version of yourself. So I decided to journal to channel my emotions by praying to God became my outlet of mine and by reciting affirmations that boosted my self- confidence.
I think what really helped me by surrounding myself with groups of women that encouraged and as well empowered me to become a better version of myself. Yes, it's important to surround yourself with like minded individuals that have similar values and interest as you. However, it's even better to have groups of women that uplift you and don't see you as a competition! But as a sister and friend. I remember having a conversation with one of my good friends and she said to me, " Ciani, Don't allow people's words to define who you are! You are doing good and going at your own pace. Sometimes you really have to say so what and who cares? " I remember we cried together and hugged. Keep those people in your life! Those words stuck with me eventually where people's words no longer affected me. Although I am human and everyone has their days, I don't allow people's words to affect me for too long. I give it to God and ask him to remove those negative words in my head. I keep it moving! I've finally taken my power back and found my voice! And it feels good. I finally said Yes' to the life I deserve!!
Sincerely,
To the woman who is finally saying Yes' to what she deserves and taking her power back!
P.s. Happy Women's History Month Everyone! May this month be full of new blessings and goal's to the woman you want to be . I am rooting for you, alway's!
