💜 What are some truths about me?⁠ Who I am an 💜 What are some truths about me?⁠
Who I am and who I want to be.⁠
I am an Empath who loves the sun.⁠
God and Family are number ONE!⁠
Introverted as I may be⁠
I crave connection deep as the sea.⁠
Earth and nature calm my soul.⁠
Showing up for others makes me whole.⁠
Sometimes peace is hard to find⁠
and I fall victim to my own mind.⁠
But I have the courage to change and grow,⁠
to spread kindness and understanding to those I know.⁠
Living as an empath will no longer make me cower⁠
I now see empathy as my superpower!⁠
I vow to always keep my intentions pure.⁠
With me, loyalty, understanding, and love is what you'll endure.💜⁠

⁠
With the hubby being back to work for a few weeks now, things are finally settling down to OUR #newnormal.⁠
⁠
I'm typically a 💪get-up-and-get-straight-to-work💪 kind of girl. But I've found a sense of heightened anxiety lately, so something's gotta change.⁠
⁠
STARTING your day out right could make a huge impact on the rest of your day. ⁠
⁠
Appropriately, I decided to start there!⁠
⁠
Here's what I'm starting with:⁠
⁠
✔️ No phone or checking email the first hour after waking. ⁠
✔️ Fill up my water Bottle FIRST THING⁠
✔️ Yoga With Adriene⁠
✔️ Read an article from my "read later" list and a chapter from my current book!⁠
✔️ Meditate for 5 Minutes⁠
⁠
All before sitting down at my computer to start grinding the day's tasks.⁠
⁠
🤔 Have you tried anything similar? How did it affect your anxiety levels? I wanna hear in the comments!
🧠 "Your brain is constantly monitoring the emot 🧠 "Your brain is constantly monitoring the emotional tone of your thoughts—too many negative thoughts and your brain responds by creating stress and sadness in your body. ⁠
⁠
When you add more positive thoughts, your brain will create relaxation and happiness." - Mark Stibich, Behavior Change Expert.⁠
⁠
💪 Today, I challenge you to replace every negative thought that you catch and find the flip side. Turn that negative thought into a positive one. ⁠
⁠
👀Pssst.... do you want your feed to be a more positive place for your followers? ⁠

⁠
The hubby went back to work last week and I am grateful for him and his hard work ethic! ⁠
⁠
I am so THANKFUL 🙏 for the time we have had as a family over the past 6 months.⁠ We grew extraordinarily as a family!⁠
⁠
We had a family Halloween at home this year pigging out on candy and watching all the old Disney faves (including "Don't Look Under The Bed" and "Halloweentown")⁠
⁠
We also got to celebrate my Bestie's, Step-Dad's birthday on Sunday, who I haven't seen in years!⁠
⁠⁠
What a wonderful weekend to kick-off our "new normal!"⁠
⁠
But now it's back to the grind, reinvigorating routines, and really focusing on our #goals!⁠
⁠
Happy Monday! Keep digging those goals! #goaldigger
Y'all, it's FRIDAY!!! ⁠ ⁠ Honestly, that hasn' Y'all, it's FRIDAY!!! ⁠
⁠
Honestly, that hasn't meant much to me in a really long time!⁠
⁠
Before the pandemic, my husband was General Manager of a Restaurant chain #restaurantwifelife so our weekends were Monday and Tuesday.⁠
⁠
Then we sold our house (right smack dab in the middle of lockdown) and moved from TN to FL.⁠
⁠
I was #blessed enough to have my husband home with me and the boys for a solid 6 months and this was his first week back to work since the move! ⁠
⁠
So, I'll be taking the weekend off to celebrate a legit #friyay for the first time in years!! ⁠

"Branding involves developing a compelling, positive, and lasting image of your business that creates an emotional connection with your customers."⁠
⁠
➡️ The process involves developing your brand voice, personality, and visual aesthetics to create an identity that people can relate to!⁠
⁠
Not only does developing your brand help you get clear on who you serve and how best to serve them, but allows you to attract your ideal customers and create a special bond.⁠
⁠

😧 2020 sure has thrown us for a loop and there 😧 2020 sure has thrown us for a loop and there are a lot of reasons to feel anguish.⁠
⁠
Depression is a slippery slope and before you know it, you're so deep that you literally can't get out without someone throwing you a rope and giving you a little support.⁠
⁠
There is nothing wrong with asking for support 🆘. We are humans, and therefore, social by nature. Asking for help takes #strength so be proud of yourself, let yourself open up, and you'll be surprised at how much relief you feel.⁠
⁠
Another way to battle anguish is to focus on the positive aspect of the situation at hand.⁠ ⁠
⁠
So, I know 🤔 that SOMETHING good happened to you this year!⁠
⁠
What is something positive that has come out of 2020 so far for you? I'll put my #gratitude in the comments! Let's celebrate some #wins together!! 🙌🏼

With a basic understanding of Psychology, you can:⁠
⁠
🧠 Get into the mindset of your audience in order to entice them.⁠
⁠
💬 Build a cohesive brand that sends the right message aesthetically.⁠
⁠
🍭 Understand how to evoke emotions with colors, patterns, and other imagery.⁠
⁠
❄️ Create distinctiveness, uniqueness, and brand awareness.⁠

...and honestly, so freaking much more!⁠

Psychology, not your strong suit? No problem. Send me a DM and let's chat about how I can help you create a Brand Identity that your ideal customer will be drooling over! #droolworthybrand⁠
