Selfish Mindset

Righteous 💙 | Self-Righteous  Do you know your rights? Your personal rights to yourself? You owe it to yourself to be satisfied. "I shall prosper in my righteousness. I will do what is in my greatest interest, for my health, for my mind, and for my spirit. I shall abide by the rules of my own and do right by myself. I have the right to be happy. I have the right to make changes to my life. I have the right to be a better person. I have the right to correct myself. I have the right to speak my mind. I have the right to feel good about myself.

I will believe in greater. I will live in my truth so I may live in peace." "There is always the fear of self-righteousness possessing us, the fear of arrogating to ourselves, a superiority we don't possess." - Mahatma Gandhi Be certain about...

SCARS 💙 | Scarred-Self  See the symbolism in your scars. Let you wounds represent your willingness. Ask yourself, “What do my scars represent?” "My scars represent my sacrifice, not my suffering. My scars represent my courage, not my weakness. They are survival wounds. Wounds of battle. Wounds of a triumph. Wounds I am not embarrassed about. I am a warrior. I put up a fight, a fight for freedom, a fight for equality, a fight for respect, a fight for my health, a fight for my family, a fight for my life. I’ve been challenged. I’ve been compromised. I’ve been called out of my name. Yet I remain a warrior. I didn’t quit. I didn’t give up. I’ve been through and I’ve came through. My scars are a symbol of hope. My scars are a symbol of strength. My scars are a symbol of my truth. My scars are a symbol of my story. My scars are a symbol of me." This affirmation is a testament of overcoming and having survived a battle, but not limited to a current circumstance in which YOU WILL al...

VALUE 💙 | Self-Value  Know your importance and recognize your capabilities. Your value is in your mind and in your heart. It is your protection from anything you don't agree to be engaged with. Place value upon yourself first, everything else will fall in order. It's okay to feel good about yourself. Be happy about living. Be excited and ready for life's surprises as you would for your favorite food. You know the feeling 😝. When life throws us a curveball, it's not for us to feel less than. It's in fact for us to increase our beliefs within ourselves and push forward. Pick up the ball and throw it back. Value yourself as if it was a deadly decision. You only have yourself to impress. You must get used to fulfilling your own self with hope and worthiness. Tell yourself everyday: I am valuable. I am loved. I am wanted. If I can think it, I can experience it because I believe in myself. 

EXCELLENCE 💙 | Self-Excellence  Live at your best level of self. Surround yourself with excellent souls. Be excellent together. Share your energy. Embrace the beauty of becoming better than you were before and better than you were yesterday. No one can take your growth away from you. You know where you started and where you are now are at two different places on a map. You are excellent for moving forward. You are excellent for overcoming. You are excellent for pushing through. You are excellent for making the best decisions for you. All of those strengths granted you the position you are in now.  Be proud of yourself. NO matter how small. NO matter how large. Your excellence is your excellence!  "Do not ever let anyone make you feel like you don't matter, or make you feel like you don't have a place in our American Story because you do. And you have a right to be exactly who you are."  - Michelle Obama

CHALLENGE 💙 | Self-Challenge  Are we making the most out of our lives? Why do we worry about what other people have going in their lives? Sometimes this concern with others is the very reason why we are behind in our own lives. We must learn to challenge ourselves. We can change our own lives if we put as much energy towards our attitudes and behaviors.  Self challenge is setting limitless goals for yourself (which is not confined by your surroundings). It's a challenge outside of your normal bounds aiming to strengthen your greatness. It's the want to change; It's the want to do more; It's the want to do better. You should only compete with yourself, not anyone else. Focus on managing the issues in your own life. Newsflash: 💬Everyone has problems. No matter what it may seem like, each person is dealing with something. We process life's difficulties at our own rate and in our own way. A person appearing happy doesn't correlate they aren't dealing with anyt...

BEAUTY 💙 | Self-Beauty  Be happy with your beauty, love yourself, and own who you are! You are truly beautiful. If someone says anything differently why should you have to believe it? Know your beauty is everything. Know you are beautiful regardless; regardless of stress, regardless of hardships, regardless of struggles, you are still beautiful. True beauty lives on the inside, anything else is a compliment. Beauty is a part of who you are. You are beautiful because you are you. You are beautiful because you imperfect. You are beautiful because you are flawed. You are beautiful simply because you were created. You have been personally beautified, deal with it 😃  No one can take your beauty away from you. Life is more beautiful with you in it. Be your own beautifully exceptional self! "Beauty residing on the inside is an accomplishment, while beauty displayed on the outside is a compliment. Rise up, don't hide. Show off your beautiful side with boldness and pride. Allow your ...

WORTH 💙 | Self-Worth  Self worth is a personal evaluation of your own self. What you think about yourself is how you will feel about yourself. Your feelings then become your attitude followed by your behavior. Be the mastermind of valued self, know your worth. Stand for what you believe in and believe in what you stand for.

Rise above! "As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you." - Oprah Winfrey

Grow 💙 | Self-Growth When we decide to stop judging others and focus on self, in that same moment, we decide to accept ourselves and begin the journey of self-growth. Self growth is an increase in self development. Whether it's reading, learning, listening, accepting, appreciating, talking, training, thinking, or comprehending, it takes action. Making mistakes is a necessity to growth, which plays a major role in how we learn and understand concepts. Action is everything. Everything we do matters because our growth depends on it.  Self growth is up to you. You are responsible for your personal development, no one else.  Do something for yourself; grow up. Society is not always right, so you have to know when to stop listening. "Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth." - John F. Kennedy

Naked 💙 | Naked-Self Be your naked self, no filters. Expose yourself with authenticity. Display your natural existence with every fiber of your being. No need to shy from who you are. Embrace your identity! "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." - Mahatma Gandhi When you can't be who you are around people you love and trust, then you are struggling with your truth. Ask yourself this: Why does ____'s opinion matter to me? Why should I have to be uncomfortable or awkward in ____'s presence? "You can't change how people treat you or what they say about you, all you can do is change how you react to it." -Mahatma Gandhi It's easy to get wrapped up in people's impression which often lead to a interpersonal crisis. Because we want to be liked by others, we pretend and do things unrelated to our innate character. We should live without the fear of someone's opinion. Listen to this affirmation and discover...

 Care 💙 | Self-Care Self care is treating, understanding, loving, accepting, forgiving, being gentle, and concerned about your well-being. It's exactly what it sounds like, taking care of yourself.  "When people take care of their health, they become their best friend." - Maya Angelou Choose self care this year in 2021. Take a step back to just be. Be in the moment, live in the moment. Live for you, so you may be better for your loved ones. Spend time alone. Say "no," and be comfortable with it. You don't always have to do something with your friends. Put yourself first. Set boundaries and stay at home if you like to. Make yourself the priority.  Ask for help when you need to, it's okay to have questions. Be not afraid to seek assistance. Call, text, email, voice/video message whomever with your inquiry. Everyone needs help with something because no one is perfect. "We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' l...

LOVE 💙 | Self-Love Love is a positive emotion and mental state; it does not intentionally hurt. It's one of the strongest feelings one can experience. Love is accepting, forgiving, trusting, and caring. It's an action word shown through expression.  Become one with love. Be in love with all pieces of your being. Love all features of your body; the length of your hair, the scars and wrinkles on your skin, the color of your eyes, your personality, your inner spirit, and your beautiful face. Love yourself unconditionally and without limits. Have fun! Love in the best way you  know how. Treat yourself with kindness. Smile at your-self. Say nice things. Admire your present self as well as the person your becoming. Give time and patience for things you may not yet understand about yourself to be revealed. Enjoy the small things you do and do more of it. Create a bond with yourself. Laugh often. Indulge in your simple pleasures. Love happily!

ACCEPTANCE 💙 | Self-Acceptance The action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered or something existing; to confirm or affirm, is to accept. It is also the action or process of being received as adequate or suitable; to welcome or embrace. In other words, Self Acceptance is the welcoming of who you truly are and giving life to that person (him/her).  It's also called freedom. 😊 Accept your-self and be happy with your decision. Clarity will come as your true self begins to manifest. Allow time for the mind to process all of your being. Peace will enter and fear will exit.  Everyone has a unique story, do not let someone else write yours. Each day we are telling the world who we are by our actions. What do you want to be known for? Confess your own story by living in your truth. Be who you are because you were acceptable enough to be created.

FORGIVENESS 💙 | Self-Forgiveness Have you ever blamed yourself for anything before? Were you at fault? Have you done something to yourself or someone which caused feelings of guilt, shame, or wrongdoing? You're not alone. Most of us have had many experiences with such emotions.  Some of you don't recall or even know why the pressure of guilt surrounds your life. Ask yourself what was so awful, you didn't allow forgiveness. Do you remember? Does the thought cause pain or make you feel less than? Listen to the self forgiveness affirmation and consider a pardon. Wondering when to forgive? Right now. It's time to forgive and understand why you feel such a way so you may unleash negative feeling about yourself, about the situation, or about someone. It's time to acknowledge, absolve, accept, and act accordingly. Acknowledge the emotion or pain (I feel shameful/guilty because...). Absolve yourself (I am freeing myself of...).
