1) No one is coming to save the day - save your own day
2) Listen to your gut
3) Wisdom is recognizing how much you dont know
4) Intelligence is about willing to learn
5) If you dont like something; you have the power to change it
6) There is no right or wrong decision - just make a move
7) Conditions are never going to be perfect
8) So much of your fear is not real - its fake
9) You dont need a partner - you need a hobby
10) Other people dont know what theyre talking about
11) Never give people power over your feelings especially those who arent right with themselves
12) Leave sooner & stay gone - youre not a tree you can move
13) Stop trying to control other ppl - you cannot control what they say, what they do, how they treat you - control your actions & responses plus what you allow
14) Stop overreacting especially those trying to push your buttons - stop giving them that power
15) Not one is going to bet on you like yourself
16) Stop letting other peoples limiting beliefs project onto you
17) Creative pursuits are worthwhile
18) The life you want is on the other side of allowing yourself to be seen - not in the cacoon
19) Slow down and take your time
20) Do not rush - go at your own pace
21) Scarcity is not serving you
22) No matter where you are - there you are
23) Feel your feelings
24) Get return out of your energy, time and effort
25) You cannot be your highest self from your comfort zone
26) Go to the dentist
28) Stop coffee on an empty stomach - it ruins hromones
29) Be vocal for what you want
30) When people tell you, believe them
31) A job is a job
32) Show up for yourself
33) Treat your time how you treat your money
34) Affirmations work for bad things too
35) You have so much more potential that you have not tapped into
Thank you!

WHOOO MAAM! ✨✊🏽 awesome video.
Ahhh & happiest most beautiful birthday to you! 🌸
@@SETSBYXV thank you!
That lesson on not working out on an empty stomach felt like a personal attack. I've been working on it though, especially since taking up running twice a week
I turn 31 this fall, and this was a great listen! I’m really in a period of a lot of change that feels uncomfortable (letting go of friendships that no longer feel right, wondering if my 2 year relationship will evolve, etc.) and I’ve been feeling so lonely, so I appreciate the push to really lean into myself and become okay with relying on my own thoughts, decisions and judgements.
Needed to hear #14 😫
Happy Early Birthday ❤and what audio interface do you use for you mics?
This lighting on you!! IS a Godsend! Can you give a tutorial on the lighting in this video.
@@allblackoreo thank you! I went to a podcast studio and they did me right 🥰
@@BalancedBlackGirl They really did! I'm glad you found them, thank you for posting the video!
The treating time as money thing literally blew my mind...set yourself an hourly rate and think was that worth that amount of time? Thank you!
Came up on my timeline and I’ll be 35 on Thursday
❤❤❤
Number 18 📢📢📢📢📢📢
32. ! Can u share some examples!
Woah! No.6- no right or wrong decision! What do you mean?
@@sinenhlanhla_mambi not everything is “black and white” some decisions take us different places but aren’t always good or bad. Trying to be “right” all the time often holds us back from moving forward
@@BalancedBlackGirl I hear you. Mind blown. appreciate you sharing.
35 where?
You look like Sydel curry
The ad part is way too long.
