Today, I am granting you permission. Permission to figure out what 'being enough' means to YOU (not to ANYONE else) and be that. I spent the majority of my life trying to be everything to everyone and failing miserably at being happy. Sure, I had a smile on my face and every indicator would say I was a happy person. The majority of the time, it was an act. It was people pleasing at its best - put a smile on your face and swallow your emotions. Look happy. So I did exactly that. When my mom was tiring of her struggle with cancer, she made a point to always tell me that 'I was enough'. I never really got it. Enough what? As I departed on my own healing journey, 'being enough' kept coming up. I finally stopped wondering and explored what 'being enough' meant to me. I set aside what everyone else wanted me to be, what was expected of me and what I expected me to be to other people. After a long soul-search, being enough for me boiled down to 2 things: ❤️Being truly happy ❤️Being of service It took a loooooong gap of time between realizing what was 'being enough' for me and doing something about it. Once I made 'being enough' for me a priority, I stepped into 'the flow' and everything started to become far easier and graceful. Amazing how the Universe responds when we begin to get our priorities straight! What does 'being enough for yourself' mean to you? Not sure? Start by journaling on the question and come back to every day or every few days until you find the clarity. Clarity will then give you a 'jumping off' point to see where in your life you are living to be enough for everyone else and where you are living to be enough for yourself. ...and NO, I'm not telling you to give up your responsibilities or walk away from your daily duties. I am giving you permission to begin to let the ones that are not allowing you to be enough for yourself to be transitioned to someone else or to find a way to gracefully step away from those items. You are worthy of being enough for yourself first. . . #selfreflections #putyourselffirst #selfreflectioniskey #selflovefirst #intags #doityourself #believeinyourself #selflove #investinyourself #selfreflect https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc6NrCYob8Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨IMAGE REDEFINED. 📩To all the Ladies struggling with their self image, this post is for you. I remember when this title (IMAGE REDEFINED) dropped in my spirit to write about how many people have a wrong or poor image of themselves and the need to redefine image. The book is well past it’s due date but I know it’s because there are still things I need to include in it for it to be just right for who ever reads it. ➡️ Looking at this picture of myself, I remember growing up and being made to feel overtly self conscious about my forehead. I just couldn’t understand what was wrong with my forehead shape but because of all the snide comments, I always chose hairstyles that “hid” my forehead. ✅Now, knowing what I know and having redefined image for myself, I boldly and confidently flaunt my forehead that is beautifully proportional with my face shape and head. 💛I love, love, love my forehead and everything about my face and head, including my natural hair, in its natural colour. And guess what? ➡️You will think that for someone who is a certified Image Consultant and an International Makeup Artistry Professional for over 20 years, I would not have hang ups about the way I look. ❌ WRONG. 💜I still have days I look in the mirror and all I see are the flaws magnified. I have to stare at myself and talk kindly and lovingly to myself until the image of me that I know God sees is what is reflecting back at me. ✨I am a work in progress. So are you. I am a great Image and Personal Branding Specialist and Confidence Coach but that doesn’t mean I am perfect and have all the answers. I just know how to transform people including myself whenever the need arises. 📌So anytime you feel less than you actually are, recognize that it is normal and remind yourself of WHO YOU TRULY ARE; A B.A.N.G (Beautiful/Bold, Audacious, No Excuses, God’s Masterpiece). In a world that celebrates a false ideology of Image, beauty and perfection, I celebrate originality and true beauty in its flawsome and vulnerable state. 📌IMAGE REDEFINED to be what I say it is for me. What is Image to you? XoXo from #madamemerola #thebangcreator #imagecoach #beautyredefined #selfreflectioniskey (at OWN YOUR Image) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVWO_Evjn-h/?utm_medium=tumblr
