I get out of my comfort zone and appreciate everything accessible to me.

Moving out of my comfort zone from time to time opens a whole new world of opportunities. Though I can have many rewards remaining warm and cozy inside my comfort zone, I understand that getting out of it can bring even more!

My comfort zone holds all the comforts of home. Inside my house, I feel confident. I am self-assured. I know where everything is located. I arrange it according to my likes and dislikes. I am in control of my life if I am in my home.

I understand that when I step outside my home, everything changes. Life can throw unforeseen challenges at me. But even with such a risk, I know that I could never live my life only inside my home. That would be too restricted and limiting!

In the same way, I know living inside my comfort zone limits me to a very narrow range of experiences. Even though I am comfortable and confident there, where is the excitement? Do I want to limit myself like t...

Sometimes, it is not easy to forgive your missteps. You feel rotten when you have let yourself or someone else down. But one day, you must allow the sun to shine again.

Has it been challenging to do that?

This 4-step process can help you forgive yourself and move on with your life:

1. Confront your mistake. In all circumstances, take responsibility for your error. Come face to face with it and acknowledge where you stumbled. As painful as it might be, this is the first step to forgiving yourself.

• It is sometimes helpful to look in the mirror and say aloud what you did. It connects you with the action. It also helps you realize that it is okay to make mistakes.

• Coaching can help if the first option does not do the trick. Talking to someone else may help you release feelings tied down inside.

2. Analyze the impact. Take a moment to reflect on the outcome of your actions. Who has been affected? How badly were you or others hurt? Take it all at face value, a

I remain thankful for the blessing I have to be free. With freedom comes the great task of managing my independence sensibly. I want to rule over my passions rather than becoming a victim of desire.

Part of living free means that I am held responsible for what I do with my passions. Emotions are an important part of me, although I also have to learn to govern my feelings to achieve inner peace.

I break free from emotional bondage because I have power over my feelings. My feelings do not rule over my mind, as my mind is more powerful.

There are seasons of my life when only my mind knows the way. I let my mind lead me as I follow with behaviors in an act of faith. In time, grace lines up my feelings and ideas.

I lack desire to continue because I let disillusionment or disappointment deprive me of joy. During those critical times, I recall that the great purpose for which I am destined stays unaffected by my situations.

Other times I am so thrilled with life, I find it...

In today's fast-paced world, time management is a crucial skill everyone should master to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Women, in particular, face a unique challenge in juggling their personal and professional responsibilities.

Life overflows with wonderful moments - playing with a child, embracing a loved one, reading a good book, conversing with friends, doing well in my career, spending time with my family, or resting after a long day’s work. I am grateful for each moment.

An optimistic delusion could be a very positive attitude…some might say an overly confident attitude. You might think that is just being braggish and even lying to yourself. You may be correct, but the science is fascinating on this issue.

Studies show that individuals who overemphasize their abilities, skills, and talents for a new endeavor ultimately execute at a higher level than those who are more realistic or pessimistic about succeeding.

People who overestimate their abilities learn skills better and are more successful. This is not too surprising. If you do not think you are good at something and cannot study to do it well, you will be less motivated and involved in learning that activity.

Conversely, if you expect the best, you will jump in and get busy conquering the new skill. With high expectations - even unjustly high hopes – you greatly enhance the odds of succeeding.

Stress is a natural part of life, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially for Christian women juggling multiple responsibilities. Stress can easily build up, affecting our mental, emotional, and physical health, whether it's managing work, family, or personal expectations. As followers of Christ, we know that God's plan for us is one of peace, and we are called to cast our burdens on Him (1 Peter 5:7). A Truth Mindset is the key to overcoming stress, as it helps us reframe our thoughts, trust in God’s sovereignty, and experience true peace.

Matthew 11:28-30 tells us, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

 

This beautiful passage from Jesus invites us to trust Him with our stress and burdens. He promises rest for our souls when we hand our struggles to Him and embrace ...

 As I speak to others, my tone is calm and respectful. I know that if I would like others to listen, I have to communicate my thoughts positively. 

My language is typified by a constructive word choice, soft tone, and unhurried pace. My vocabulary is abundant and free from curses. I can get my point across without elevating my voice or using profanity.

Every person is like a well of precious insight. I use my effective communication abilities to draw out the abundance of knowledge in others.

I take pleasure in learning new things. I seek to uncover something fresh each day. If I take time to understand others, I am informed. 

My attitude attracts others to me. By being positive, I encourage others to travel unexplored waters with me.

People are not afraid to communicate their feelings with me because I am welcoming. They trust me enough to express their ideas and ask for my input. In turn, when I want help, others are more than ready to support me.

I stay away f...
