Celebrating My New Journey

For me, the past few month's have been a whirlwind of embracing more and more that comes with entrepreneurship. Over the last year, I have committed more, embraced more, and persevered more than I thought I ever could before embarking on the journey of solo-preneurship.
Now that I have found some sort of mental clarity around my identity as an entrepreneur, I understand a lot more about myself. I have also come to learn what it really means to help myself before others can help me and the true value of leaning into my own personal purpose.
Today I have decided to share one of the ways I learned to dive deeper into myself and start to redefine my journey, thus aligning me with my true purpose: to help as many people, communities, and organizations as I can with learning to love authenticity, self-celebration, and the power of spreading what you know and love.

I keep my frenemies close and my friends closer.
Did I know the day I had on September 31st, would occur on September 1st, 2024?
If you’d asked me on the first, I’d have said no, but now looking back, I know differently.
Yes. I knew I would complete 30 consecutive days of journaling and going live each of those days. I also had fears and worries that today would never cross my mind. As I write this blog I see the effects of fears: the clouds passing over the sun-through the confusing darkness of life. To lean into belief is to shine a spotlight on the path ahead of you.
So when I started Day one of the Regain My Power 30 Day Journaling Challenge with belief, and the lightness of knowing what was ahead of me, I felt the tickles in my tummy too, yet I still knew. I knew the promise I was making to myself would be fulfilled and it was only a matter of time before I came out on the other side, having achieved everything I set my heart and mind on.
From Day 1 to Day 30, it felt the same, each day, yet differently, even still. I don’t feel desperate or overwhelmed. I feel in place, belonging—like for once, no matter how the world shifts and moves beneath my feet, I stay steady. It started with one day , then one more day, over and over, one day at a time. With excitement and preparation for Day 1, I carry it over to Day 2. I knew 30 days was enough to focus, home in, align with new ways of thinking, and prepare for my next 30 day commitment to self.
The first week of this challenge for me was one of the least challenging when it came to showing up everyday. I knew why I was completing the challenge, was more than willing to prioritize my goal, adapted to my environment as needed, and allowed myself to lean into my authenticity. It was a process that began the shedding of personas that were burdens to who I truly am. I began to release my hold onto the past, what was familiar, in order to embrace what was fresh, and new. I even stopped trying to recreate past moments of fulfillment.
Before completing this challenge I attempted to reclaim moments that served a past version of me, this left me feeling constantly disappointed in myself, disjointed in my environment, and unsatisfied with my life. After completing this challenge I started to honor who I was becoming and hold dear the new values and desires I started to develop. I started to acknowledge new needs, ideas, and desires that were in alignment with the vision of life I wanted to live in my present. Completing The Regain Your Power challenge in September of 2024 propelled me into an era of discovery and exploration. And just like my energetic shift, my mindset and physical surroundings began to shift. This new way of being brought on a fresh new me.
During the second week of the Regain Power 30 Day Journaling Challenge, I intentionally started harnessing my mental power to manufacture my own energy and feelings. This allowed me to manage, protect, and hyper-focus on my energy and mindset. I appreciated, thanked, and affirmed myself daily. All these tools I began to exercise allowed me to enhance my life experiences. As I felt my way through week three, I began to feel more satisfied with myself, what I do, and my overall life. I honed in on experiencing presentness, who I currently am, and the visions of my life that brought passion and purpose to my movement on each individual day. In this, I learned that transformation has frenemies.
Frenemies
Motivation
Resource Management
Preparation
Fear
Passion
Foresight
Presentness
Satisfaction
Chaos
Routine
Actions or habits I started as a way to change my circumstances, mindsets, and habits, were sometimes hyper-focused to my detriment, yet I keep my frenemies close and my friends closer. Through my journeys exploring these frenemies of transformation, I discovered balance and gratitude are best friends with transformation. The three musketeers and triple appetizer to navigating your life. These 3 essential practices and understanding, propelled me forward in a journey of change towards intention and purpose that I almost didn’t foresee. Utilizing these tools on a daily basis allow me to embrace my vision of life with confidence.
If I take only one lesson away from completing the Regain My Power 30 Day Journaling Challenge, it is this:
Balance and Gratitude gave transformation safe passage along my journey and allow me to live authentically.
Through this lesson, I’ve found ways to intentionally shift my life more into alignment with the real me and fulfilling my purpose with passion.
Again, I write this knowing that all that begins, comes to an end, and so every moment is a beautiful fleeting miracle with experiences in its fullness. I embrace balance and gratitude to guide me through changing my life. This ensures that no matter where I end up, I support myself through my journey, I am content, and I live with intention fulfilling my purpose.
