If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?
Was a biography about me, what would the title be?
Um
“Did she tell you?”or “What she up to now?”
Lol, I’m not sure why that’s the first thing that pops into my mind, but the truth is I’m always trying to do things that I want to do, of course.
But I tend to keep things to myself, so no one knows until the end what I’m up to, so it may be a fitting title.
I’m still here as I get up this morning, trying to find my creativity and motivation to write anything.
I realized my limited beliefs and self-doubt have sunk in as I find my writing voice again and start being more confident in launching as a confidence coach.
First, I know I can do this, and I know what I have to say matters, even if it’s just me who hears it.
Second, my motivation to get up today and say today is my day was a self-help book, and man did it wake me up.
Because honestly, this beginning of the year has had me struggling with energy and motivation.
So, even though I have come to overcome some of the limited beliefs that were holding me back before.
We all know when doing new things, self-doubt seeks up on us like a snake and tries to bite us, so of course, we will not dare to keep moving forward.
So I have this feeling in me that I know God is telling me to do this and keep going, and when I sit quietly, what I need to say comes to me.
So, I will stay strong because I know I can do this, and I feel this is my time, and I have support.
So let’s not let limited beliefs like, “What you have to say doesn’t matter, You’re not good enough, or Who do you think you are.”
Get in our way as we walk into today. Today is sunny and windy, but it’s a great day to be alive. And I believe in you; I have your back, so let’s keep dreaming and taking each day one step at a time.
Oh and if you want to look up the book here is the name of the book, Speak by Tunde Oyeneyin.

What were your parents doing at your age?
My parents doing at my age?
Well, I’m 34 now, so at my age, my dad was in the army, and he would have been stationed in Hawaii so that it would have been sunnier days.
My mom would have been working at the Hawaii military daycare center as a teacher for babies and two years old. And of course, they would have had three young kids.
And we would have lovely beach days and go to the sea life park all the time and see the dolphins and Wholphins and seals and shark tank.
Those were some good days for us!
Little surprises
Always come when we least expect it
But when they happen, I can’t help but smile and be happy I didn’t let them pass me by.
I am so scared of uncertainty that I sometimes fear it all as I let my mood control how I show up.
But not today. I jumped into the water and smiled before returning to the reality I would be facing.
Because at this moment, nothing could steal my joy or hope that everything will work out for me.

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
Some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing I would do?
Share it with my family and close friends and go out and celebrate that news.
Then relax and get ready for whatever that news has brought me, like a new adventure or job or whatever. But whatever it is, I will take it and ensure I make the best of this opportunity.
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?
there any activities or hobbies I’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?
I guess playing basketball and watching basketball
I used to play board games like Monopoly or Scramble, but now I am playing the Monopoly game on my phone and enjoying it.
Um, I’m not sure there is anything else since I still play video games, read books, write when I can, and color and draw occasionally.
Couple of days, I thought about and wrote about what made me gain my confidence and what made me want a new change in my life.
It had me thinking about journaling and how I use it to reflect and let go of thoughts, I may or may not share with anyone.
And when I journaled, it was short and sweet, and now it’s long, and sometimes I get it all out.
But what helped me the most is mood journaling, which has helped me work through emotions a lot better.
I tend to keep my emotions to myself because even though I trust certain people, I still have my guard up.
I’m a moody person sometimes, so knowing why and how I could have reacted next time or how I can keep track of my moods and emotions helps me keep track of what triggered me when and why.
I like journaling, even if I sometimes forget to do it all the time. It helps me keep motivated and aware because sometimes, when I’m tired or working, I may not be paying attention to how I felt the week before. After all, sleep doesn’t come easy for me.
Being under the weather this week has drained me so much that I don’t even know how little sleep I got other than I’m tired and feeling better.
But I know that I will be journaling how I felt this week and the past few days so that I know how I felt because it has been a while since I’ve been sick for a couple of days.
Also, my confidence to post and still be present on my blog has bothered me, but I realized I needed to take care of myself before writing here as I need to do my best to bring my all.

What’s your favorite candy?
My favorite candy? I’m trying to do better and not eat a lot of sweets.
But my favorite is Twix and then I like Take 5 and gummy bears.
But I don’t eat a lot of it now, and so my sweet teeth are doing a lot better now. As I am trying to eat healthy and not be addicted to sweets like I was before.
I know now my body and mind didn’t need all those sweets, and today, my body feels good, and I have fewer headaches because I’m not eating or drinking too much sugar.
