Let’s Talk About Shame

Posted on by infinitelifeworks
Hey Mamas, Mommies to be, Women & Loves of Women Everywhere...Let’s talk about shame! Are you allowing shame to dictate your steps?
Shame will have you blocking your blessing. It will steal your joy. It will have you shrinking yourself because you feel less than. It will have you over doing things because you're trying to compensate for that feeling of lack. Shame makes you feel like you're less and shrinking yourself up, smalling yourself up, hiding yourself from the world because you don't want them to see your shame.
What you're actually doing is hiding all the gifts that you have to share with the world. You are blocking yourself from progressing into whatever person you really aspire to be. You are blocking yourself from moving into whatever goals and dreams you have. You are allowing shame, whether it's something you did on your own or something somebody else put on you, to dictate your steps.
In order to remove shame from being the dictator of your actions, you have got to make a choice. Decide that you want to step away from the shame. Put it down and never pick it up again! That requires some shadow work which is not an easy or pretty process. It’s not a quick fix. Sometimes it takes weeks, months or years. Sometimes you have to go through the process several times to fully get through it, but it is necessary.
In order to step away from shame, you've got to give yourself permission to investigate that shame, understand its origins, move through the pains, forgive yourself and release it. Sometimes it requires you to confront and have a discussion with people who are involved in whatever is bringing you the feeling of shame. You may need to seek counseling and that's ok.
You've got to give yourself permission to release. Once you have released that shame, you are free to bloom and stand in your power.

Finding Time For Self Care & Maintenance

Posted on by infinitelifeworks

Hey Mamas, Mommies To Be, Women & Lovers of Women Everywhere... let’s take a moment to get real about intentional self care. First of all, are you being intentional and consistent about your daily self care? Do you have a daily self care routine and if so what does your daily self care routine look like? Is there really no time for yourself, or are you lacking the boundaries necessary to set aside the necessary time for yourself?

Yes, our daily schedules are quite demanding! We’ve got babies, business, home, partners, friends, family and so much more to tend to. In the mix of all of that, how and where do you find time for yourself? Let me tell you how.

You must be intentional about your self care and set healthy boundaries for yourself. Put your time on the schedule. Literally write or type it in for everyone to see! Demand that your time is just as important as everything else on the list. Actually, it’s more important than everything on that list because if you break down, then that list of “things to do” does not get done! You cannot tend to the needs of yourself or others if your tank is empty. It’s that simple. You’ve got to get used to filling up your own tank first. Get used to telling people “NO!” when it’s “YOU TIME,” or whenever you feel the need to say no.

Own your self care and honor yourself in whatever way feeds your soul! No one is going to do it for you! It’s up to you to make it happen for you.

Daily Rising Routine

Posted on by infinitelifeworks

Hey Mamas, Mommies To Be, Women & Lovers of Women Everywhere...do you have daily rising routine? Do you meditate, journal, workout, take a bath, read? Setting up a daily rising routine is a must!

We all have busy schedules with people and things that beg for our attention and pull at our energy. Kids need to be fed, house needs to be cleaned, work needs to get done! Tending to your self care must be at the top of that list. Being intentional about taking that time to serve and honor yourself creates balance, an increase sense of value and boundaries. Your daily discipline definitely helps to set the tone for your day.

If you don't have one, create one. Your routine doesn't have to look like anyone else's. There are so many options. Set aside at least 15 minutes for yourself, pick a routine that suites you and stick to it!

Let’s Talk About Self Care

Posted on by j.infini

Hey Mammas, Mommies to be, Women and Lovers of Women Everywhere…how are you doing with self care? There are several ways to approach this topic so let’s dive into a few.

First let’s talk about Personal Self Care.

Are you making space for you and the things you like? Do you even know what you like?

This weekend set aside some time for you to explore you! Do things that you love as well as somethings new. As you’ve grown you might find that your taste has changed in multiple ways. Go out on your own and try something unusual. If you find that you go out consistently, try staying in and practice solitude. Dig deeper into who you are.

Actively working on your personal self care feeds your soul. It’s a way to pour back into you refilling your cup. It’s a way to reset and refresh.

Now let’s touch on Emotional Self Care.

When the work week has begins, for many of us, it brings about feelings of anxiety, stress, and frustration. These feelings might come about because we might have to interact with challenging personalities or work through a difficult project. Whatever the issue, we must keep in mind that our perspectives and how we deal with these emotions have a huge impact on the trajectory of our week. Developing emotional intelligence as a means of coping and moving through each of these situations is key.

Actively working on your emotional health means improving your confidence, stability, attitude, your overall health and much more! The more allow yourself to feel and work through your feelings internally before acting out irrationally or being consumed by them, the more balanced and productive you’ll become. .

The next time you feel frustrated or any emotion, pause and recognize it. Name the feeling and feel it. Next, ask yourself why you feel that way. Then move on to finding a solution.

This process of building emotional intelligence isn’t always easy and it can be quite uncomfortable, but the more you practice it, the quicker and clearer your skills of moving through the process becomes! Not only will you become more self aware, you’ll also recognize how to gracefully maneuver around the emotions of others.

Let’s touch on Physical Self Care.

Are you practicing self discipline when it comes to your physical health?  .

Actively working on your physical health improve just about all areas of you. It increases energy, improves clarity, improves your attitude, and your overall health! The more you give to your body, the more your body gives back to you!

Don’t put off your self care for another time or day. You can start now! The world can wait a few minutes while you exercise some self love. Go ahead and give yourself what YOU need.

in unconditional love,
