My Daughter, My Inspiration

I don’t know why I introduced Alexa to Keyani.  All she wants to do is to talk to her and sometimes they get into arguments. However I do enjoy listening the back and forth conversations. Sometimes I’m glad she is around and sometimes I feel I want to return her. (Not my child, Alexa)haha!
_______________________________

I remember the times when my little precious gift was all a cloud in my head. So little, didn’t know how to hold her, I was so afraid of her choking on her food, I was super afraid I would roll over her in bed when she was next to me. Anyway is was an adventure that I know you lived if you have kids.

Sometimes as parents we feel paralyzed for a lack of better word.  Parenting can be very challenging, but I want you to realize how blessed you are.

As a parent my role as well as your role will never end until you are six feet under. If you do parenting right, the memories,  experiences and seeds of wisdom that you deposit in your child will last throughout your lifetime,  and for many generations after.

That is the legacy you want to leave to your child and their children’s children.  If the legacy is going to happen, we as parents must rise up and begin to take back our children and families.

Keyani was my inspiration to become a Family and Parenting Coach. I am on a mission to have a better life for my daughter and children in this world.  I’m all about providing tools, techniques and tips on how to effectively lead, guide, direct and train my child and your children in a way where they are able to reach their full potential.  I have the best parenting coach there is that helped me get certified. She helped me be where I wanted to be as soon as I found out I was pregnant. She was my GPS and I am greatly blessed. ❤

See Value In Yourself

You must see value in yourself before you add value to yourself. Self image will determine more than anything else how much you will invest in yourself. Why is it important for you to add value to yourself? Because you can’t give what you do not have. When you get better you can help others get better. Your personal development is the belief that you are worth the effort, time, energy that is needed to develop yourself.

Know your value so you can make the choice to not sell yourself short.

Debes ver valor en ti mismo antes de agregar valor a ti mismo. La imagen propia determinará más que cualquier otra cosa cuánto invertirás en ti mismo. ¿Por qué es importante para ti agregar valor a ti mismo? Porque no puedes dar lo que no tienes. Cuando te mejores, puedes ayudar a otros a mejorar. Su desarrollo personal es la creencia de que vale la pena el esfuerzo, el tiempo y la energía necesarios para desarrollarse.
Conozca su valor para que pueda tomar la decisión de no venderse corto.

How to take ownership of your dream


1. Be willing to bet on yourself. You may succeed if nobody else
believes in you, but you will never succeed if you don’t believe in
yourself.


2. Lead your life instead of accepting your life – making the right
decisions and managing those decisions daily. The power of choice
is the greatest power that a person possesses.


3. Love what you do and do what you love. Successful people – those
who see and seize their dreams – love what they do and do what
they love. They allow their passion and talent to guide them.


4. Don’t compare yourself or your dream to others – when you
compare yourself with those superior, you feel inferior. When you compare yourself with those inferior, you feel superior. When you stop comparing yourself with others, you feel empowered. Success
is doing that best you can with what you have wherever you start in
life.


5. Believe in your vision for the future even when others don’t
understand you. You are not an accident. You are here for a reason.

Are you ready for the next season of your life?

Make room for what you want:

  • What projects, issues, to do list item keeps getting rolled over to the next season?
  • what can you declutter in the next 15 mins? Stop putting in off for later
  • What ties need to be cut? Making room in your life often means letting go of stale or inauthentic connections.
    -What apology is over due? Do not go into a new season with old baggage. Depending on the situation, either forgive or ask for forgiveness.
  • How do I want this season to prepare for the next? The next season is already on its way . Is there anything you need to do now to prepare?

People who try new things are happier than people who always hold on to what’s familiar.

God Bless,

Self Worth

Your Self-image is the biggest determining factor in your success.

I will forever be thankful for my mom who early in age implanted positive thoughts in me. I was a very shy individual and my self-esteem wasn’t the best growing up. I was involved in church activities, theater and dancing activities, I went to modeling school and I was very active in sports. All of those extra curriculum activities helped me be the person I am today.

When you were younger or recently can you think of a time that how you thought about yourself impacted the results you got?

Maybe your mindset when selling something or fundraising as a
kid or performing in sports or music and how it gave you either
a positive or negative result.

It is so important to have a healthy image and if you have kids i encourage you to help them with that.

Healthy self-image:
– thinking positive thoughts about yourself – be open to learn
Vs
Unhealthy self-image – thinking negative thoughts about yourself
– no energy even to try, don’t believe it is worth it.

Always focus on the strengths instead to automatically go to your weaknesses.

Remember the price tag we place on ourself is the price tag others place on us.

Self worth is a choice!

Raise your children that don’t have to recover from their childhood

1.Be authentic – Authenticity is essential for connecting with today’s children.

  1. Connect with your child individually – Good connection is a process which takes time, don’t try to rush it. Seek to create an environment of trust as you connect. Seek first to understand them rather than trying to get them to understand you.
  2. Have Fun – Don’t be afraid to be kid-like with them especially if they are younger.
  3. Demonstrate you care – Maintain a humble servant’s heart with empathy. Let your kids know you value them, their time and their ideas all while demonstrating genuine unconditional love. Keeping this in mind will prevent you from being judgmental, condescending or critical while interacting with them.
  4. Be Teachable – Start where you are and always learn and grow. Be open and willing to learn from them. Let them know we need them, their development and contributions to make the world better.
  5. Keep it Simple – Don’t try to share everything.
  6. Be willing to fail and share your failures – Failure is part of the growing process. Take a risk and laugh at yourself. Do something even if it is not perfect. Even if you mess up in front of them either they will not know or if they do notice laugh at yourself and you will earn their respect.
  7. Get out of your comfort zone – We didn’t learn to walk in a day, do it now and see what happens. Remember: we are all works in progress.
  8. Be patient – Both your children and ourselves are a works in process. Be patient with the growth process and when working with them be patient with them.
  9. Invest time in learning the issues they face and how to serve them.

Our children are our future ❤
