A Woman’s Intuition

me092812

 A woman’s intuition.  When you end that bad relationship even though it was feeling so good, when you don’t let your children go somewhere or do something because you have a feeling of what can or will happen, a job that we hate but keep because we are the sole provider for our family.  You know when you ask your husband “does my butt look big” when you already know it is but want him to help that fragile self esteem.

Second guessing yourself can be costly, whether it’s finances, emotional or as a matter of fact.  I believe when we second guess ourselves, we take away the natural process that women possess.  We are on different levels, some of us have that strong sense, and others it goes right over our head.  What we do with it is what give us power, don’t you believe?  I’ve spent a lot of time second guessing myself on quite a few issues that it makes me shake my head, but I can’t waste time on “should of, could of, would of”.  When you try to act on that gut reaction, it can be scary, stressful and will wreck your nerves.  That is when you have to push forward, harder and dive into the unknown territory so you can achieve the desires you dream about but are afraid to seek.  Prayer helps too.

Yesterday at church, my pastor spoke about how we are all unique and God wants us to use “our” unique quality.  I believe we can relate that to a woman’s intuition, by being yourself and listening to your gut.  As I start to take the next step in building my brand, I want to allow myself to listen to that intuition that is speaking to me when I am apprehensive or just plain afraid.  I no longer want to allow fear to hold me back, can’t afford it anymore.  

One thing about listening to your intuition, it’s a sense of freedom, because the possibilities are endless and we have the control and realize that if we don’t take the chance, we’ll never know.  With that being said, I’m gonna take Cafe Mocha Reflections to the next level, add a little more spice to it, but continue to write good posts about my life, marriage, motherhood, WAHM and whatever else inspires me.  I want to have a little more fun with it and I may even do a video or two.  That scares me, but I will accept the challenge….maybe one video.  I’ve already made a few changes and there are a few more to come.  There will be give-a-ways (maybe 1 or 2) and a link up once I figure out how to do them.  The best is yet to come!  Have a wonderful, productive day!

Motivating Partners

 

Hope you all had a great weekend and the father’s in your life had a great Father’s Day.  I was having a conversation with my husband and we were talking about people that don’t finish anything they start.  I have to admit, I fit into that category.  I am so famous for starting something, and be super excited about it and after a while, lose interest or stop altogether.  I don’t know why it happens, but I am so guilty of it.  Like my business at Soul Purpose, while I still believe in the product and the business, I just simply don’t have the time now to pursue it like I would like to.  The difference this time is, I’m not going to quit.  I just can’t.  I am however, gonna sit down after I move and look at how I want to approach the business.  I have a great up line manager and I believe if I put together a plan that’s gonna work for me, I can make this work.   My husband doesn’t realize that he stepped on my toes (it did hurt a little), and motivated me at the same time.  I figured out my problem….prioritizing, it’s essential if you are working from home or doing anything that requires your time and hard work.  

 

Do you have a person that motivates you, or an accountability partner?  They don’t have to necessarily know they are responsible for motivating or keeping you accountable.  If you choose to let them know, that’s fine, I just figured people have enough on their plate and helping to motivate or keep you accountable is just something else they have to do.  I just mentally made that note and applied it accordingly.  My children also motivate me to keep the spirit of youth and don’t forget to have fun.  We get so caught up in our lives, work, bills, raising children that I sometimes forget to take the time and just be.  And last, my girlfriends will keep it real, telling you the truth about everything else when you find the time to spend with them.  I’m sure as I blog more and I build my following, you all will keep me motivated and accountable.  Tell me what you think, have a great week.
