I've got a closet full of t-shirts that read "I'm stuck again, start over." And let me tell you, constantly starting over can be such a downer. It feels like I'm not making any progress at all. The frustration of being boxed in or chained to a place I don't want to be is real.

If you're feeling stuck too, you're not alone.

Our minds determine what we see and how we perceive what we see. Our minds determine the triggering of emotions and how we respond. Our minds dictate what we will do or not do. All wars in our lives are won and lost on the battlefield of our minds. Our mindset determines our peace, joy, happiness, or success. I talk about mindset a lot. I’ve come to learn that thinking differently will not only welcome healing but will open doors we never thought possible.

Chaos to Clarity for me is an ongoing journey that I’m still walking. I’ve been an adult for almost thirty years! I spent over half of that time miserable and depressed in a world of chaos of my own making. I know a thing or two about wrangling the chaos and turmoil within. I’ve come to learn that getting that inner chaos under control will be the exact thing that you need to see the life that you desire. The reciprocity that you seek comes from your inner transformation.

As I dug deeper into my self-hate, I discovered how it manifested in my life and the lives of many women. Negative self-talk, low self-esteem, seeking external validation, and neglecting our own needs were all too common. It's a vicious cycle that holds us back from the life we deserve. But here's the thing: Self-awareness and self-love are powerful healers.

Have you ever taken a step back to ask yourself if you truly believe in your capacity to rise above circumstances? Do you find that conviction deep within you to stand firm in your belief, long enough to see the fruits of victory? Fruit that remains not fleeting. In its essence, a victim mentality convinces us that we're merely bystanders in our life's story. It tricks us into feeling powerless, devoid of control, and at the mercy of everything and everyone else. Such a mindset, beyond casting shadows of hopelessness, also denies us the essence of personal responsibility. It's this very mentality that becomes our fiercest self-saboteur.

With self-awareness, you can flip your life script. You can shake off the self-sabotage shackles, rise above the chaos, and find your own calm amidst the crazy. And remember, you're not in this alone. We're all on this ride together – striving for a life that's as balanced as it is fulfilling.

Remember, it's never too late to pivot and pursue the life you dream of. Take the time to know why you're making the change, and be prepared for the journey ahead. Each step you take has an impact - someone is watching, and your courage can inspire them to take their own steps toward authenticity.

Today, I stand before you healed, whole, and self-aware. I've grown, and I'm ready to lead. And let me tell you, you are capable of making pivotal changes too. It's never too late! We all need a little support and strategy to unleash our potential.
