LEAP into the Best Version of You

Hey guys! ? I know it’s been a long minute! I have been super busy ? like so many of you and sometimes there are not enough hours ⏰ in the day to get it all done. This topic came to me after plowing along in my upcoming book. It may be a chapter that I add, but if not, it is worth passing along to you. I’m not going to keep you that long, but I love sharing nuggets of wisdom when they come to me. ?

What does leaping ? ? into the best version of yourself mean? Well, I want to give you a quick acronym of how to leap right now into the best version of yourself. Yes, right now. ? You should be aware of how much I speak of loving yourself and not ever comparing or competing with anyone else. ? With so many challenges happening in everyone’s life, I know the benefits of consistently working on self. ?

? So, let’s get right to it. Remember this simple acronym while you continue to navigate this unpredictable journey of life. Apply the affirmations daily to conquer being the best you that you can be. It only takes about three weeks to form a new habit and 90 days to make it a perpetual lifestyle change. ?

L- Lean on God through ALL of your good and bad times. The power of prayer sustains us through it all, no matter what we are enduring. In great times, seek Him and praise Him ?? and in the dark times, seek Him and praise Him. ?? Always stay prayed up and build your relationship with God. ??

E- Expect the Unexpected. Beyond your greatest expectations, God can and will deliver. We can dream, but we cannot dream bigger than what God has for us. Sometimes, doors close or a window does not budge but that does not mean that the trajectory that we’ve set for our life is out of reach. Let God’s plan intervene at all times and pray for His will to be done. Sometimes, His plan aligns with our plan, but when it doesn’t, know that His is greater.

A- Accept Yourself. Acceptance includes coming to terms with all of you. The good, bad and ugly may be difficult to relive at times; however, it is YOU. You are unique and entitled to be imperfect because human beings are fallible. No, I am not giving you permission to continue to knowingly embark on erroneous choices and actions; nevertheless, I am instructing you on forgiving yourself for your past transgressions because you are not your circumstances. Be kind to yourself. ?

P- Protect Your Peace- If you follow me on social media or you’re a client, you know this extremely well. ? I LIVE for peace and I want that for you too. Free yourself from all negativity and toxicity in your life. This is one aspect of your life that you can control. You are in control of who you let into your life and allow to remain there. You are in control of your psychosocial stressors and if you feel that you are not- it is time to alleviate them through self-care or professional help.

There you have it. ? This only took me approximately 10 minutes to outline for you because that’s about all I had as far as time. ? ? One of my many gifts(praise God??) is to share nuggets of wisdom ? with others to improve your life’s journey, and assist you in becoming the best YOU that you can be. Nothing more, nothing less.

Take care and don’t forget to LEAP ?‍♀️ ? into the best YOU that you can be!

Sending you ? and ?,

    I just had to say that I always used to question why my life was like it was until I realized that we all go through things. It may not be the same but everyone deals with stuff and I am glad to know that I am not alone. Thank you for reinforcing that for me in your resources. A. H

      Hi Layci, Never feel pressured to respond. Many people read blogs and do not respond and that is just fine with bloggers because we do not do it for the response. Just glad I can help someone. Thank you and Blessings to you, CJ.

  45. Carmen

    I usually don’t post like a lot of people and just always read your blogs. They all speak to me and I make notes and look forward to the next one. This time was different and I had to speak because this one spoke to my soul. I am a crossroads in my life and not knowing how to move and because of this post, I am not going to give up and go the way I thought I was. I know I deserve better and have to be my own best friend. I just want to say I appreciate you and your desire to want to help people you don’t even know. I can’t wait until you release your book that you are writing about all of this. I will be the first to buy it.

    1. cjmadry Post author

      Hi Carmen, I appreciate you sharing and I wish you nothing but happiness and the best for your life. It is ok that yo do not post on my blogs, trust me, more read them than the ones who post based on emails and other communication that I receive. Stay tuned and I hope you will enjoy my book soon. Blessings, CJ
