Receiving Season

My most recent blog has me cracking up every time I reread it. The fact that I spit out that entire blog on my train ride into work and posted it without even a second thought about if the grammar was on point just makes my head spin. Has my confidence peaked? Definitely not. More like I am comfortable being and sharing my authentic self with you guys. Oh PS. I have a couple new regulars to the blog. Shoutout to my highschool bestie, BBFMWEL (its a secret... if we told you, we'd have to kill you) and another shoutout to one of my new work buddies who inspires me to get off my lazy bum and do some physical activity (she goes to boxing/kickboxing/rock climbing regularly and makes the rest of us look like shlubs). Thanks for joining in to the ridiculousness that is Sisatah Ceej.

It has come to my attention after reading all of these self help books, listening to personal growth podcasts that my frame of mind has shifted immensely within the past few months. Previously, I was coming from a place of true lack. When I did not have a job and was looking for the perfect one, I was coming from a sense of desperation. And it caused me to spiral into something and someone I did not like. I was not happy and I did not believe in myself. I truly inverted my personality and tunneled myself into a corner telling myself I didn't have the "it" factor, I couldn't do things because I didn't have money or a job, and thinking about having no abundance in my life truly created that reality for me. There were some occasions that I chose to avoid because of being in this state that I definitely regret. But now we are here. The mindset shift has initiated and all we can do is grow. I wanted to take the time to be grateful for what I do have and appreciate all the opportunities that have been granted to me. I have a job that, without a doubt, I am so blessed to have, especially given the circumstances. I am grateful to have an ABUNDANT (to say the least) family who I can regularly communicate with. I am living in New York FREAKING City, how can I not be grateful for that?! I really am so blessed to be where I am, who I have grown to be and what my life will become. Unlike in previous blogs, I feel like I am in the season of receiving. I went out on a run last night at around 7 pm and found myself lifting my arms in joy understanding that being our true authentic selves is what guides us to happiness. Who we are never should be hidden from the world and to become your authentic version of yourself is to be truly happy. Abundance comes to those who believe it will happen and receiving blessings is all a mental game. Believe in yourself, follow your dreams, and become the most authentic version of you by assuming abundance in your life and forever staying in a receiving season.

I've come to know that happiness is a choice. By you, by me. We create it ourselves and have the power to make it our reality. Just wanted to remind you of that today. Go be awesome and enjoy your weekend.
