Deciding to Surrender
They say that periods of solitude are necessary for growth. I have been leaning into my solitude to learn how to be my best friend, to be the source of the energy that I expect, and how to navigate through the expectations and opinions of others.
Be The Sun
“Do not diminish your light. Don’t pull back from people who need your light or the warmth of your presence with the knowledge that your truth brings. Be the Sun.’
Ask and it is given
Today I started similar to Day 1, but with a bit more sleep. I decided not to stick to my optimal 5 am wakeup time and let my body tell me when I had enough sleep so that I could start my routine then. I had a bit of flexibility today as my meetings were all grouped at the end of the day.
Releasing 2022: Day 1 of no task lists
Sometimes bliss is having a completely spontaneous day with an empty to-do list. This is how I decided to end the year. Luckily I was surrounded by the right amount of love. Story told by Roshawnna Novellus.
Happy New Year!! Day 2 of no task lists
I made it to the first day of the year. Bliss on 10. Happiness on 10. Love on 10
The battle between surrendering, the soft life, my habit of working 16-hour days, and missing him
Today was a battle between 4 sides of me. We were only a few days into the surrendering game, so it was easy to forget how it felt. I fully enjoyed the soft life for at least the last six months so I could go back there with a snap of a finger. The 16-hour workday spanned 30 years of my life, and I finally kicked the habit in 2020. And he was all over my subconscious, an energy that was there even when he wasn’t in active focus.
The big reset and preparing for my first surrendering adventure
I woke up keen on not repeating the contrast of the day before. I asked myself,why feel anxious when you can feel relaxed? The choice was easy, and I decided to let go and start the Surrender Experiment over. This was my life, and it was my time to live it.
When a man loves a woman
I was today years old when I became a gift for a friend’s love. I always imagined showing up as a gift on a beach getaway, but it hit a little different to play supporting character energy during a grand illustration of love. I was here for it!!!
Living through expectations and faith in the perfect day
It was a complete day of bliss with the absence of fear, doubt, or any barriers to any desire. This day showed me how we each choose the experiences that we want.
Embracing Paradise + a phone light adventure
I awoke to the dream and no power. I figured it was a fluke and that it would resolve shortly. I woke up again an hour later to the sound of rustling. I ended up saving two of my group members who were stuck in their rooms. The house was hot, dark, and there were hours between now and the sunrise.
Relaxing in paradise is the answer
I was so grateful that there was nothing on our itinerary for today. All I wanted to do was to curl up with my laptop on the couch and work. I was so grounded and refreshed that I knew the work session would yield creative results.
The adventure of leaving Tulum
Today I decided to wake up and write in my journal outside next to our heated pool. I’m not sure why this never crossed my mind before this moment. The warm weather, the sound of the waterfalls, and the beauty of the earth at sunrise were more than anyone could ask for.
Going with the flow while getting work done
I woke up so proud of myself. Typically when I’m away from home or off my routine, I have 4intense anxiety. For most of my life, I felt like accomplishing tasks was the only use of time. Luckily, I’ve worked through that feeling and embraced this letting go concept even more. I woke up feeling a bit tired but more at ease than normal.
Closing deals while enduring food poisoning
At 3 a.m. yesterday I knew I had food poisoning. By 6 a.m., I was calling my mommy to ask what to do. She told me that she hid some Pepto in my house, lol.
Activated charcoal saves the day
I’m not sure about you, but when I feel better, I am extra hype. I want to do everything all at once. I have to make myself calm down and relax to ease into the day. So, while I usually spend the first hour of the day listening to affirmations, knew that I was just tossing and turning and not paying attention to the message.
Brussels Sprouts, acquisition calls, and workouts
Me: Do you want to go on an adventure for a day with me?
He: What are you thinking?
Me: You have to say yes or no before I focus on any details.
He: Well, then, yes
Founders Day, zoom calls, and letting go
Today I woke up energized and extremely passionate. It may be because my health was back at 100%, it was the Founders Day of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc., or I felt so loved. Regardless, I knew for a fact that this day was mine.
Returning to the woods
The first 30 minutes of hiking in 32F weather makes you question your life choices. But after you start warming up, you remember that a period of discomfort often comes right before happiness, upgrades, and getting the things you want out of life. So once that warmth hits you, you feel like you are all power and can and will achieve anything.
Being in love with my circle
As a social introvert, I learned 20 years ago that I could satisfy my need for socializing, good food, and being drenched in love if I hosted events in my house. I was in control of the things that mattered, and I felt joy inside and out every time.
listening to my body & water love affirmations
Today felt like a doover from last Monday. The only difference was that I needed to attack the day with the deep understanding that I could and would do everything I required.
