Sound Counsel; Getting the Right Advice  Is counseling really necessary? For some, depending on the level of trauma or pressure they are under, it is. If you need guidance while working through your problems, I do recommend that you reach out and seek the help you need to move forward in your life. Now, does everyone needing counseling seek it out? No, they don't. I get it. Telling someone and entrusting them with your challenges, hopes and dreams can be scary.  However, trying to navigate through life on your own without the right guidance can lead to harm and unnecessary circumstances. Those in distress tend to turn to harmful habits. Turning to destructive behaviors can lead to devastating consequences. Don't deny there's a problem. Being in denial can lead to unnecessary mismanagement of your life, emotions, decisions, and relationships. Moreover, being in denial affects you and those around you.  When you are in denial of your problems, others around you ...

Protecting Your Competence I will not affiliate myself with people who undermine my competence, abilities or experience. I will stay clear of argumentative and combatative people. I refuse to feel inferior or intimidated by others. I refute and resist psychological brainwashing. I know who I am. My intentions are pure, and my capabilities are sure.  I will not believe the lie that I am not good enough or intelligent enough. I am strong and capable. I am mentally focused and emotionally sound. I surround myself with genuine people who believe in me. I gravitate towards people who believe in my potential and support my goals and aspirations. I am encouraged by their support. I refuse to be jealous or intimidated by other people's stature, status and success. I support others and celebrate their potential, goals, aspirations and success. I am the equivalent of what I believe about me. I am confident in God, my hard work, and progress. I live a life of integrity. I have...

Protecting Your Competence Stay clear of people, places and things that undermine your competence. They will argue with you from here to Africa.😂🤣 It's true though.  People who always question your competence are intimidated by it. They question you, so that you can then question your capabilities. They do it by being opposing with imposing questions. It's psychological brainwashing.  Psychological Brainwashing Defined: "Can I get you to believe that you're not good enough? You're not smart enough or strong enough." The truth is, they are questioning you about things you already have proven you can do and handle consistently.  Opposing antagonists HATE when others shine more than they do. So, they utilize force, brainwashing or their influence to hinder the progress of those who can do tasks equivalent to or better than them. Those who don't agree with their antics, theories or philosophy are ousted, embarrassed or bullied. I can't say it...

Does Quiet Time Really Work? Let me just say this, I'm better off, because of moments of quiet time. I'm surprised that some people feel there's no use for quiet time. WOWZERS. Really?👀🙃 Having periodic moments throughout your day or week help re-center your thoughts. It's vital to have a clear mental space free from  disturbances or distractions. Moments of reflection and centered breathing enhances your clarity, mobility, and flexibility. They help relieve stress, anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion.  Our bodies function better when we are clear, balanced, well nourished, and well rested. Have you ever seen someone who's never rested or relaxed versus someone who is? There's a huge difference in their moods, appearance, and clarity of thought.  Now, I'm not condoning laziness. Laziness is a sin. Taking a day to rejuvenate your spirit, soul and body is different than doing nothing at all, all day and everyday. Furthermore, I'm not...
