What you think about yourself matters!

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23 NIV

What others think about you doesn’t matter. But what you think about yourself matters most.

Your thoughts become your actions. Your actions become your future.

If your constantly criticizing yourself. Constantly putting yourself down—Telling yourself your not able, or your not good enough, or fat, or your a bad mom, or a bad wife, or a bad friend.

Then your heart will signal to your mind and start to believe it, then your actions will align with the negativity that’s in your heart. Why? Because everything you do flows from it.

So instead fill your heart and mind with God’s truth about who your are in Him. Renew your mind with positive affirmations.

Important rule in life: You must believe in yourself.

Believe:

I am able to do anything with God’s strength.

I am a great mom!

I am an amazing friend!

I am creative!

I am a light in this world.

I am more than enough!

I have everything I need in life!

I am fit.

I am healthy.

I am strong.

I am loved.

I am brave.

I am Daughter of the King!

Am I gracious and compassionate?

The Lord is gracious & compassionate slow to anger and rich in love. Psalm 145:8 NIV

Sometimes people do to us what we do to the Lord. We judge the Lord and call Him things He is not. We believe the lies. Some of us may think God is an angry God. They believe He has punished them. They believe He never blesses them or has anything good for them.

If they had an earthly father that was absent or abusive they believe the same about our Heavenly Father. Our God is loving, He is slow to anger. he is rich in love. He loves you. Adores you. Wants the very best for you.

This is why it’s important to know the truth about our Heavenly Father.

Some people label us and define us by our past and we must know the truth about ourselves and speak against those lies too. For many years I believed I wasn’t worthy of grace and that I wasn’t compassionate because of the mistakes I had made.

But the truth is my past doesn’t define me. It’s my current actions that will define my future. So I must change the narrative and speak truth into my life. If my God say’s He is gracious and compassionate then so am I!

So I will speak with the authority and love that I’ve been given towards myself and others. I want to reflect His character and walk out His promises.

So will you repeat this #affirmations

Repeat it until you believe the truth about yourself and about your Heavenly Father above?!?

Your thoughts become your future.

Your thoughts become your words, you words become your action, your actions become your habits and your habits become your future.

I experienced trauma in my life. I learned a behavior it became a bad habit.

What is that bad habit? Negative self-talk.

It appears as low self esteem.

This is not sexy to admit but it’s important to talk about it because not finding your confidence can hinder you from reaching your destiny.

Negative self talk can sound like:

“I can’t finish what I started.”

“I’m not smart enough.”

“I don’t have what it takes.”

“I’m not equipped.

”I’m not attractive enough.”

“I’m not creative enough.”

“I am not worthy-enough .”

“I am not thin enough.”

“I’ll never be successful.”

“I’m not a good mom.”

“I am a mistake.”

“I’m such a mess.”

“My life sucks.”

“Life will always be this way.”

“There right, I’m a failure.”

Friend, when we speak words like these to ourselves we are criticizing God’s masterpiece -YOU!

You are His masterpiece everything He creates is good!

God wants us to speak out of love. He wants us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. So how can we love others well if we are constantly having negative self-talk?

Like the quote above says,

Your thoughts become your words, you words become your action, your actions become your habits and your habits become your future.

What kind of future do you want? If your thought life doesn’t line up w/ the future you envision then it’s time. It’s time to speak God’s truth into your life .

Our words are POWERFUL! You are POWERFUL! You have authority—speak life!

You have authority to change your mindset- No more stinking thinking!

Instead say,

I can finish what I start with God’s strength.

I am smart because God created me.

I am equipped with everything I need to fulfill God’s calling.

I am able because God says I am able.

I am beautiful, everything God creates is good and beautiful.

I am God’s masterpiece.

I am fit and healthy!

I am a great mom, my kids love me. I love being their mom!

My past doesn’t define me. I am forgiven and set free because God says I am!

I have respect for the past.

I have great respect for the past. If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going. I have respect for the past, but I’m a person of the moment. I’m here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I’m at, then I go forward to the next place.

Hi my name is Reyna!

Want to introduce myself, my name is Reyna Elizabeth Morris

I am a Latina, Spanish decent

I Love anything to do with self-improvement (books, podcast, resources, recovery groups, women workshops and conferences)

I’ve been in recovery for over 8yrs.

You may be asking for what :

Co-dependency, anger, fear, depression, anxiety, PPD/PPA, addictive tendencies: sugar, love, alcohol abuse, SLAA, attracting toxic people. A few other hurts and trauma that I will share about in future blogs/post.

You never know what anyone is going through. Until they share their story. Your story matters. You matter.

I’ve been a Christian for 8years. Was Catholic before that but didn’t have a relationship with my Savior Jesus Christ.

Why am I sharing all this?!?

Because this year I’m stepping out and pursuing my life’s purpose (I’ve been kinda been circling the same mountain because I keep running from what God has called me too).

Which is helping those that are hurting and lost. Why? Because I was once there!! And I’m still in recovery because Recovery is a process not a destination. It’s a One day at a time.

Recovery requires commitment, dedication, community your willingness to say YES to do the hard work that leads you to Freedim and most importantly We need Jesus- He is our savior!

So I will be sharing my experiences, strength in hopes that it brings you freedom. I will be sharing tools, real life stories, and testimonies in hopes to make your recovery process enjoyable, empowering and liberating.

Remember Life is tough but so are you!

My goal this year is to be certified life coach. 🙏🏽✨
