Earlier this week I put some questions on my bathroom mirror and on my desk to think about:

 What do I want to do?

 Who do I want to be?

 What do I want to achieve?

 Who do I want to become?

 These questions were presented in that podcast I shared I was listening to on Monday. 

"Achieving A Limitless Mind, Feat. Jim Kwik, with Joel Marion – BTI 17"


I have and I haven't yet been able to answer all of them and this morning I have some new questions for myself.

Who do I believe I am?

How do I hold myself back?

What limitations do I impose on myself?

One of my favorite, and yes! I mean favorite!! aspects of life is that we have the opportunity to continually grow, improve, redefine and refine ourselves. 

Who I believed I was, who I saw myself as even 6 months ago has changed. 

Our self imposed limitations change and they must be addressed. 

Our believe system about who we are needs to constant evaluation and adjustment. 

Life is difficult and it affects us and impacts our self thoughts and self talk patterns.

Self love doesn't just happen because we read a fancy meme. 

It is a result of constant self care. 

Through constant and consistent self mental care. 

So take care of yourself. 

Take the time each to ask questions of yourself. 

WRITE them down. 

Think about it and answer them honestly. 

And not just once, or even once in awhile. 

Mental health must be addressed daily. 

Emotional health can get destroyed in milliseconds. So yes, daily addressing of our "feels" is necessary. 

Talk about the hard things with yourself. 

Talk with yourself about the one thing you have been avoiding. 

Talk about it with resolve.

This is your life. 

Own it. Own your thoughts. Own your actions. And have a good mental check in with yourself at least once a day.

Love yourself everyday in all the little ways that will empower you. 

Go. Fight. Win.

Dear Grandma, and Dad,  Go away. I don't want either of you in my life. Neither of you had or have the courage to change. It is because of you that I even had to overcome a horrendous childhood. I don't like you. I don't want you in my life. And Grandma, I saw your message to my daughter and you are a liar. Leave my children alone.

In 2011 while Ray was deployed to Iraq I attended a Yellow Ribbon Event. It is an event put on for both the families of soldiers while they are deployed and for the families and their soldier when the soldier returns. The conference was held in Dallas at the Gaylord hotel. Upon arriving I was given a lanyard with a card identifying me as an attendee. In the first meeting we were told that there had been a threat made and that extra security was being provided. We were asked to always wear our lanyard and to alert security to any suspicious behaviors. During the lunch break I went up to my room and my keycard wouldn't work. I phoned the front desk and asked for assistance. I was told someone would be coming to my room with a new card. A woman and two men of large stature approached me as I sat in the hall with my 9 month old baby. The woman unemotionally and quite frankly asked if I could please stand up. "Um, yeah sure I can." I tried t...

If you know me, you know I love therapy and self help books. I love change. I love the challenge of change. So it will be no surprise that when my son was 9 and decided to take on lying and bullying I took him to therapy. The reason I love therapy is because they take what you say and turn it right back around to you for you to think about and to answer. It is called reflective listening. It forces you to critically think about yourself, your life and what you really want. Therapy is hard. Most people avoid therapy because it is hard. But aren't the hard things in life worth the work and the reward? We had only been in Utah for a little over a year so I was nervous about trying to find a good therapist sooner than later. Literally the first person we went to was a perfect fit. I'm not even going to take credit, it was the Lord. I approach therapy very seriously because I want to get the most out of it I can in the short amount of time we get, so I wrote down the behav...
