Quick Tip #52 What Made You Smile Today?

09/14/22 • 9 min

I am a recovering chronic worrier.

Yep, I’m one of those people that constantly worries about every little thing. 🥴

Want to know my secret weapon that stops worry dead in its tracks? Gratitude.

You know the old saying-- “interrupt anxiety with gratitude”? Welp, it’s true. So true, that I decided to keep a gratitude journal to help me appreciate all the good that was in my life.

The thing is that after a while, I started to notice how stale my gratitudes were. My journal was littered with the usual suspects; “Lord I thank you for my home, my health, my car, etc.” while I’m truly grateful for all those things, it was starting to give Blah.

That is until Jessica L. Williams from Tech Biz Girl suggested I start writing down all the things that made me smile that day. Small adjustment but a total game changer.

In today's #Quick Tip, we're talking about the powering of taking some time to look back at what made you smile and how it helps step your gratitude game all the way up.

Episode No. 139 Life Lately + What's Next For The Podcast

Never in a million years did I ever think I would take a seven-month break from the podcast. But chilleee, once I found out I was pregnant it was a wrap. 🥴 Ya girl was exhausted beyond belief and desperately needed a little time off just to get used to growing a whole human in my nether regions.

Being the overachiever, type-A, #GoalGetter that I am, I thought I could be pregnant and still operate at the same capacity I was moving and shaking at before I found out I was having a baby. And boy was I wrong. 🤦🏾‍♀️ So I decided to take a breather but I didn't mean for it to be damn near half the year.

So what’s been up since then? What’s next for the podcast? Why did I disappear off the face of the internet? Well, in today’s episode, we’re going to play catch up and I’m spilling all the tea on what popped off these past few months. We're talking about how:

I was tempted to quit 🙅🏽‍♀️
how chasing the dream was starting to whoop my ass 😩
how I got my head back in the game and what's next for the podcast. 😌

Episode No. 140 Do You Really Think That's All God Can Do?

You have a new idea and you’re ready to step up to the plate and make it happen. As you’re doing your thang a small voice creeps up in the back of your head and it says...

“Well, you already tried to open your own business, and remember how that failed?”

“The jig is up. You’re too old and it’s too late. You’re going to embarrass yourself if you try to make ish happen.”

“Sure you were successful that one time, there’s no way that can happen again”

Once those negative thoughts start it’s hard to get them to stop. So what do you do? Do you shut them down and do what needs to be done? Well in a perfect world you would but nine times out of ten you start to believe them.

You believe them because they sound almost like the truth. You do remember that time you failed. You do feel old af. You do feel like it’s already been done, said, or made so what the hell do you have to bring to the table?

And so the idea to start the new project, finish the book, try the recipe, re-open the business— fizzles and you give the hell up.

But what if I told you that God is not a one-hit wonder? That the ship hasn’t sailed on your blessings? That your past failures have nothing to do with your future success?

Well, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what I’m telling you in today’s episode. Take a listen if you’re ready to get unstuck, stop playing small and finally take the leap of faith and do the thing that you’ve been dreaming of doing.
