Do you believe in you? What’s on your belief window?

Do you believe in you? We all do crazy things ( and I say we because sometimes I’m guilty of it as well…) and one of the craziest thing I believe we do as humans is that we undermine our abilities, our strength and our belief in who we are. We keep talking ourselves out of so many wonderful things we could be doing for us and for some reason we always  find an excuse why we shouldn’t, why we can’t.. why we believe that it is just impossible!

What do you really believe about YOU?  And most importantly what’s stopping you from believing in you?

From pursuing your dream, from feeling beautiful, from knowing that you are great,  from getting out of that unhealthy relationship or friendship..Is it a lack of belief  that you don’t  deserve better? Or is it the fear of being alone? Is that why we hold on to tainted relationships and friendships that don’t uplift us? Or could it be harsh words from someone whose opinion quite frankly, doesn’t really matter today.

So why are you cheating yourself? Why are you punishing yourself? Why are you holding back by not believing in you? You can do so much when you fully believe in who you are. Believing in yourself and embracing your authentic self (you know the one with flaws and all) is such a wonderful feeling! Its like eating spinach like pop eye! When you believe in yourself,  your belief  gives you huge muscles which helps you lift, carry and to take on any challenge which may come your way. You will  feel invincible!

But what happens when the spinach is done?  How do you keep on believing in you? You can do so by paying attention to your belief window. Your belief window tells you what you believe about you. It carries a whole bunch of “stuff” which may or may not need to be there.  Examine your belief window and ask yourself, “What do I need to get rid of? What’s dragging me or keeping me from being the best me? What’s keeping me from believing in me?”

Now that you’ve asked yourself the question, listen to the answers. Getting rid of the negative beliefs on your belief window requires a committment from you. It may not be easy but you need to start today.

So today, I urge you to start looking at your belief window and start writing new beliefs about you…positive, uplifting and wonderful thought and beliefs:) Get rid of the old ones which keep dragging you down..you know the ones that prevent you from believing in you. Change, scratch or  WIPE off a few!

I strongly believe, that the more attention you pay to your belief window, the easier it will be, to keep on believing in yourself. Start now..

And remember, ownership is needed within in order to believe. OWN who you are today and know that you are valuable and unique!

Stay beautiful:)

Beauty Point: Focus on beauty

When we spend time focusing on other people’s faults, we tend to have less time to focus on enhancing on what makes us beautiful. As a matter of fact the more we focus on faults in others, the less we are able to see beauty in oursleves.

Focus on what makes you beautiful and you will see beauty in others as well. We are all beautiful people. We must only be willing to see that.

Have a beautiful day!:)

Photoshoot: My new purple lips:)

New pic: Just wanted to share a new pic with you from a photoshoot I did last year in December. Shot by CJ Cromwell – TO Portfolio. Make up done by the fabulous Truth “Alethea” Miller. She’s awesome!  Trying something new can be refreshing. I’ve tried different shades of purple,but this shade wasn’t one I would’ve tried. Loved it! Try something new (makeup wise)  and let me know how it turned out…
