Shownotes

Are you feeling exhausted and at the point where it's either quit or go harder? I've been there, and I know that deep, soulful tiredness that makes you want to throw in the towel. But what if that feeling is actually a sign you're right on the cusp of a breakthrough? 

In this powerful episode, I share a crucial truth: true happiness and inner strength don't come from external circumstances or other people; they come from within YOU. It's about learning to access that feeling regardless of what's happening around you, even when you're at rock bottom. 

This journey of finding your inner self is especially vital for women, who often lose ourselves in doing for others. It's time to find that spark that gets you up out of bed, one step at a time, and reclaim your joy just for the sake of being happy. 

Key Takeaways from this episode:

  • Why "finito" moments are often just a resting or waiting period for your blessings to catch up. 
  • The power of finding happiness internally, without relying on external validation or circumstances. 
  • The importance of setting aside time "just for you" and discovering personal hobbies that nourish your spirit. 
  • Understanding that God has a plan for you, and sometimes, you just need to keep doing the things that get you up

If you're ready to embrace your authentic self, overcome emotional challenges, and cultivate happy habits for a spiritual awakening, I have so much more to share with you.

Transcripts

You are exhausted. I know. I'm exhausted too, and enough is enough. One of my girlfriends always says enough is enough. Enough is enough.

It's getting to the point where it's either quit or go harder, but you're exhausted. You're tired. And it's almost like yeah. This is it. I guess this is it.

Ain't nothing else to do from here. I'm done. I don't wanna try this anymore. I don't wanna attempt anything else. I don't wanna change anything else.

I don't wanna do anything else. I'm done. It's over. But here's the thing. And my husband just told me this earlier.

That is when it happens, and everybody says that's when it happens. Right? I'm still waiting too. I'm here with you. I'm still waiting for it to happen externally.

Right? So you push and you do and you try and you create. And really what you're supposed to be able to do every single day is know you. My girlfriend just sent me a video earlier of Will Smith, and he was saying how you get so caught up in trying to find everything externally when really you're supposed to know you. When you're with that person and you think that you feel so good with them, you are really feeling that feeling inside.

The feeling inside that you want to have. And on my clock was two three four. We're going up here. We're elevating. You are feeling attributing it to this other person.

It's not about the other person. It's about you. When you eat that good food and it makes you feel so good inside, you feel that feeling inside. You're attributing it to that food. You got to be able to find that feeling regardless.

You got to be able to find that feeling when you're at rock bottom. He says you got to be able to find that feeling when nothing feels like it's going right. You gotta know you make you happy. God makes you happy, and everything is gonna fall into place for you no matter what it looks like on the outside. Because a lot of times when it's just the resting period, just the waiting period, waiting for everything to catch up to you.

Oh my gosh. It's such a drag. It's such a drag. It really is. When it's your partner, when it's your job, your career, your business, whatever, your money.

It's such a drag. How do you get through this? Literally one step at a time. Whatever it is that gets you up out of bed, find it. Find it.

Because what God has for you, God has for you. You can't look externally for it. It'll frustrate you even more because everything that's happening outside is happening outside as it should be. You want what is for you. And so just keep doing the things that get you up.

Set aside some time every day just for you. My husband was like, ever since I've known you, you've never had hobbies. And music has always been my hobby, but then I turned it into my business. And I still love doing it. But other other than that, I don't really have a hobby unless it's eating because I love to eat.

But, no, I don't have any hobbies working out. But I have just slimmed down everything to me. I need to find it within me, and then I can find a hobby. I can have some I do love going to look at flowers and nature and pretty things without bugs. So usually, I gotta pay to go inside of an indoor garden or what have you.

I don't put as much into myself as I should because I'm always trying to do for others. I have children. I have a husband. I have myself. I have family.

So it's always like, let me put this down and do that. Let me put this in that and I'll lose myself in the middle of it. Perhaps you feel the same way. Five five five on my timer. Perhaps you have felt the same way.

And now this is becoming my hobby. Even talking on this camera and just sharing my thoughts, sharing my feelings, and trying to help Find you every single day. Find you every single day. Find you every single day. Just being happy, just for the sake of being happy is, like, everything.

And that's what I've been working on myself. Being happy for the sake of being happy. Not because of anything happening outside of me, not because of no good food, not because I'm a show, but just being happy because I'm happy. I am. I'm blessed.

I'm blessed. I'm I'm blessed in spite of everything else going on in the world. I don't care what's going on in the world. I'm blessed. God got me.

So this message is for anybody that finds it. But I do want to say, especially for my fellow women, because we go through a totally different set of issues than men do. My website, becomingherself.com. I have a bunch of freebies. I have music.

I have courses. I have a book, Happy Habits. That's for everybody as well. I have a pod podcast. I have so much to offer just to get you through every day.

So many women I have talked to are just like, I'm just trying to get through, and I am too. I'm the person that people come to and, like, give their grievances to, and I kinda, like, help out with my downloads with the things that come to me, with the things that I'm feeling from God to say to you. So I said, why not bundle all this stuff up for my friends? And I have it on my website. Check it out.

Sign up for the newsletter, and you can get all of the freebies I have and get access to all of the other offerings as well. Trying to build a community here because one thing that we need is some community. But either way, whether you go to the website or not, I thank you so much for watching this video. I hope it helps you today. And I will be back with another episode with another little inspiration and motivation with a little bit of frequency for my friends.

Okay. Talk to you later. Bye.
