Reframing.

The way in which one changes their outlook on situations they’ve crossed paths with.

The past year was one of the toughest years I’ve ever dealt with. With every storm that was sent my way to destroy me, I did not bend, nor did I break. My faith, the size of a mustard seed was the glue that kept me together. And of course, my child. What those situations taught me was that I needed to accept people for who they are and the actions they display are true signs of their character. Though their character has nothing to do with you, but everything with where they are currently at this moment in life.

This reframed my mindset on a lot of situations and the best thing for me was to remove myself and take the signs of walking away as a blessing. Though I’ve given people grace, giving myself more grace was the better choice. Of course, it hurts to walk away from people, things, relationships that once made you happy, but self-happiness is more important. I’ve learned that I don’t have to stick to the narrative of what I was going through, but instead grow through it. I’ve accepted things for what they are and embraced the beauty of the madness.

In the end, everything I went through this past year was needed to get me to the place I am now. My outlook on everything around me changed. I didn’t want to associate myself with people’s bs, toxicity, and whatever was negatively consuming my happiness. I quickly remove myself from things that no longer serve me.

Towards the end of the year, I began to feel very uncomfortable, mentally & spiritually. God was telling me to reframe my view of things I once enjoyed. So, I decided to do a 31-day cleanse. This was to reset and restore myself. I cut out social media, red meat, began to journal and read more, no alcohol, started taking daily vitamins, etc. We really must be mindful of what we’re consuming. Whether that’s mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Let me tell you, that was the best decision I ever made. I feel much lighter and happier than I’ve ever been. This time allowed me to be present with time and myself and heal. I feel everyone should take time and do this at least was a month or twice a year. At the beginning of the cleanse, I had no idea why I really did it, but as time went on, it came to me.

I was letting go of so many things. I was being intentional and setting the groundwork and foundation for how this next chapter of my story will go. It nothing or no one aligns with where I am currently, it must go. I challenge you all to take a step back, reframe your mindset of what it is you exactly want and take time to be still and understand it. Though, this challenge may not come off as easy doing, but have faith knowing that you’re on the right path. Be open to receiving what is for you and watch the blessings overflow.

Matthew 17:20 🤎

He replies, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
