Learn the difference between both terms, then from there take the opportunity to reflect on yourself to see which of your habits fit into each category. It can be hard and you may not be ready to come to terms with the truth. However, try leaning into discomfort to allow you to grow and stop standing in the way of your own success.

Don’t ever beg someone to want to be in your life. If you have to remind people that you’re amazing constantly stop making an effort to keep them. You are an asset, you are extraordinary, and do not ever forget it. People that don’t fight to stay in your life intentionally are meant to be replaced because they simply don’t appreciate you. Stay positive, I love yall!
Here are some tips and tricks to keep up your positive energy, and stay out of expresso depresso habits. Winter naturally sucks the life out of us because of the lack of vitamin D, cold weather, procrastinating habits, and the ability to forget to drink enough water. Spring time can shock a lot of us due to the excessive light and change of weather. That simply means we ease into the weather instead of hiding from it. Stay positive, I love yall!
Learn how to spot red-flag behavior, habits, and people in your personal and professional life. Not only can be draining but it can turn violent in a blink of an eye. Before it escalates to extreme measures cut it off (even if you are displaying them). Especially do not ignore them if you start noticing them around you. Stay positive, I love yall!
Not everyone is meant to be in your life long-term because they’re simply not meant to. Don’t take it too hard if they can’t be in your life. They will help you grow as an individual not only for yourself but for the people and/or person meant to be there for the long run. Stay positive, I love yall!
There are people that will try to suck the light out of you. They will do anything to gaslight you to believe that you don’t deserve your achievements, and feel selfish for wanting time to yourself or with other people important to you. Recognize if you have those people in your life and decide how much they will impact you and how you’d like to deal with them (in a healthy, non-violent way). Stay positive, I love yall!
There will always be people that are going to disappoint you and feel the need to tell you what you need to fix and judge you. However, if it is meant out of malicious intent brush it off and take it lightly. That doesn’t mean you should reflect on the critic that just means that you should not let it bother you and mess up your attitude. Stay positive, I love yall!
In the words of RuPaul, “If you can’t love yourself, how in the H*** can you love someone else”. I truly believe in these words deeply because loving yourself allows you to not depend on others for your daily dose of dopamine. In addition, you are less likely to develop co-dependency habits. You start to normalize your happiness and stand in the spotlight instead of hiding from it. Stay positive, I love yall!
After my first day of graduate classes, I felt like I could conquer the world, with one color-coated pen at a time. Balancing three demanding jobs, 15 credits a semester, and having enough time to have a social life was a job I didn’t know I could handle. Stay positive, I love yall!
