It’s a BEAUTIFUL day to be BEAUTIFUL People! Recently I have decided to re-discover myself, or should I say discover myself, period! So with that decision, I created the #7DayRefocousChallenge to kick-start my #90DayJourney! 

What Is It: We have all kinds of challenges going around on social media today. So, I wanted to join the hype with the #7DayRefocusChallenge. I wanted to kick-start my #90-DayJourney by searching myself and re-focusing my life! The world is full of so much negativity, and I don’t need to keep filling up on it, so I decided to do a #LifeDump from top to bottom, from the inside out! I can get so overwhelmed with things that happen in life, and sometimes I forget that I need cleansing too! So, I came up with 7 areas of well-being.

-Mind

-Body

-Soul

-Spirit

-Attitude

-Energy

-Reflect

For the last day, I chose to Do a self-reflection. I wanted to think about how the week went, And how I took control of my life and re-focused my thoughts! 

Why I Created It: The #7DayRefocusChallenge was created to be intentional with my actions at the start of my journey to self-discovery! I wanted to permit myself to make conscious choices about my life! Many times we get in this rut, and we think that “life happening to us” is why we feel the way we do, or why we act the way we do when in actuality, it’s how we are responding and viewing the situation that has us feeling and acting the way we are. This challenge allowed me the freedom to choose how I respond to instances of misfortune and mishaps in my life! I wanted to prove to myself that I have the power to change my outlook on situations, and I don’t have to allow them to dictate my mood! I also wanted to dive headfirst into this journey with both eyes open and see if I had enough willpower to discover who I am truly! 

Has It Helped: You tell me. I started my #7DayRefocusChallenge on a Monday, and this is how the week went:

Day 1 Monday- my car wouldn’t start when I got off work, and I had to call roadside assistance for a jump. When I got home, I turned it off and tried to turn it back on to test it. The car WOULD NOT come back on! I ended up having to have my boyfriend jump me off and take it to get a new battery! 

-Mood-Calm and thankful that I didn’t have to spend as much as I originally thought I would have!

Day 2 Tuesday- My right food was in such intense pain. I had to walk with a limp, ended up having to make an appointment to see a doctor!

-Mood- Pained yet calm because I was able to find a way to temporarily relieve the pain until my appointment

Day 3 Wednesday- My money total didn’t add up at work. I somehow entered some numbers incorrectly and was not able to find out which ones they were!

-Mood- Honesty, anxious at first, but I mediated once I got out, and I was able to re-center and re-focus my attention

Day 4 Thursday- I couldn’t find anything!! My keys (which I usually put in the same spot every day), my morning breakfast mug, my water jug, my work badge, or work keys….NOTHING!! A customer mumbled a slur under his breath; I started to doubt myself, a “Customer” came in with an outrageous request and a noticeably large machete<-yep! You read that right!! A big AHHHH machete!

-Mood -Frustrated at first, but after some deep breathing, I relaxed!

Day 5 Friday- It was a good day!! Nothing too crazy!!

-Mood -TGIF!!

Day 6 Saturday- FANTASTIC!! I hung out with some friends, had some bangin’ sushi and ramen. I had some pretty awesome conversation, got some frozen yogurt, and went SHOPPINGGG!!!!

-Mood Jovial and energetic

Day 7 Sunday: Wrote, cleaned, worked, mediated, and reflected on my week, and what an awesome start to my #90DayJourney! 

-Mood- Thankful, grateful, cleansed, and ready to crush my goals!

What I learned: I learned that I am in control of my life with the help of GOD! I dictate what impacts my mood; I control how I respond and react to situations! I learned that I have willpower, strength, tenacity and that I can be vulnerable without looking weak or being perceived as such! 

As always, thank you ALL for allowing me to share my passions with you and I hope that my blog inspires you to go after what you want and believe in yourself in every aspect, because I believe in you! Now strike your POWER POSE 🕺💃- We got this, NOW LET’S GET TO IT!!!

Keep Shining Loves
