Here's how it all started.....
At 14 i saw my mother take her last breath and at 21, I found myself severely depressed, suicidal, living in a closet, and rocking a 1.9 G.P.A. This means I’ve specialized in hardships most of my life, and I have mastered the mental habits that are required to maintain high-levels of resiliency. I have had to learn how to overcome obstacles and use the stones and rocks stacked up against me as momentum to build my dreams. Creating the life that I have now, all started with ONE thought.
THE PROCESS
I became my first student. I spent over a decade learning how to re-shift, re-think, re-wire, and re-train my catastrophic thinking. Personal development became a part of my daily routines and my #1 tool in helping me to build and enhance both my mental strength + my mental stamina. I worked assiduously on developing the mental habits that I needed so that I could position myself to become a trivia question and NOT another negative statistic. I’ve realized that every hardship was simply preparing me for the foundation that I can boldly stand on today.
HITTING ROCK BOTTOM WAS THE FOUNDATION THAT I NEEDED TO BUILD THE LIFE OF MY DREAMS.
In 2016, I hit rock bottom again. This wasn’t my first time. Nor the second, but it was definitely my last and final time. I was depleted mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. I was broken from the inside out, and I knew that before I stood on another stage that I would have to heal myself again. It wasn’t about serving others, but saving myself.
So, I focused on myself first (as we all should), and then I started doing the hard work. The dirty work. I began to purge, and detox things and thoughts in my life that no longer served me. I created a morning routine, which encompassed prayer, journaling, and daily exercise. I restructured my business so that I could live more and work less. I reduced my work hours from 50-60 hrs/week to 20- 25 a week ( yes, I earn a full-time living by working part-time)! How?
