This is your host Selina Davis of Butt-Naked wisdom. If this is your first time coming to my podcast, welcome, I'm so happy to have you here. Just a little bit about myself, I am a mother of five amazing children, a wife, an entrepreneur, a mentor, and an author. Yes, life has done life on me. And I birthed out a book. And the book itself is called what's stopping you make that hard decision today. And the reason why I wrote that book, like many of us, we go through so much in life, and we find at points in our lives that we are stuck, stuck in hurdles of the same old things or cycles of the same things never changing. And what I found is there are certain questions that we tend not to ask ourselves in order for us to move forward. So this book is really about helping you with some of those direct questions, and providing practical, accountable steps for you to move forward. So this book is available on Amazon right now. ebook version, or as a paperback. The link is down below in the description, I would love for you to grab a coffee, and look forward to speaking to you on the episode coming up. Its Selina Davis host of Butt-Nake Wisdom, we are back with another episode, and I'm coming in ready to check in on you guys. How are you doing? How is things going we are approaching mid, almost ending of this year, and it's going superduper quick, I don't know if it's going to same for you. But it felt like 2020 was going slowly but 2021 had definitely put on some pedals of some kind of speed. So I really want to do a check in with you, I do a check in with myself very regularly. And I think it's really important that we, you know, take time to do a check in and see how we're doing, how our mindset is how life is progressing, how we are moving in our lives, what are what things are happening and what things are not happening. You know, how are you, you know, progressing potentially, in your business or at work with your employment and career? And how are you doing in your family life, you know, how is your relationships, how are things going with your children, I know that the holidays are here, and we are just, you know, taken every day as it comes. And that's really been a big thing in my life right now is really living intentionally today, too much about what's going to happen tomorrow or in the next couple of days. But just really embracing the now and embracing where we are today and just enjoying as much as possible, what life has to offer in this moment. So I really wanted to come on here just to do some check ins with you guys, I know that you know whether you have people around you that support you that born into you to check in on you or not. Sometimes you don't have that. But you know, we could be in a space of loneliness, we could be in a space of isolation. And life can be very, very consuming if we don't take moments for ourselves. And I know that self care is definitely one of those areas that is on the radar for a lot more people nowadays, and especially when it comes to mental health and just really keeping our minds in check because it can definitely take over and create a lot of anxieties and stresses in our lives. So I'm wanting to just come on here and just give you a few tips, I hope that you will appreciate some of these tips that I'm doing practically in my life. One of the things that I'm doing, which was an exercise that my my friend therapist as basically got me on nd basically what it is, is ev ry single day he told me to ch ck in on myself at number of ti es in the day and basica ly basically what that means is stop what you're doing tak a mental scan of your body, establish what it is that you' e feeling in that moment. Estab ish where that area is. So if you're feeling happy, sad, mad, frustrated, you kno content, whatever those emo ions are, identify where it s in your body. Once you identi y what it where it is in your body, you can then figure out hat it is that will help you to remove those stresses. I may seem very, very simple, v ry basic, but it just allows you to be present in your now e otion. It allows you to refle t in your day so that you can co tinue the rest of your day in way that you potentially want o and not move in the motions f however the day is going bas d on your work. cloade bas d on your current circumstance, or your emotions that have t ken over, and consumed or day, nd I want you to really under tand that our lives are control ed by how we want them to be c ntrolled, not saying that th ng, don't come into our live to shake your own name to tra ectory of that day. However, I' a strong believer in underst nding now that we do have the bility to control what control our day. And I think tha we can't control understand ng how to process tho e things, understanding where to put them, and understanding tha a lot of the time it's b rdens and anxieties that we sho ld really give to God because he knows and we understand a lot mo e than we can, especially about urselves. So really lay th se things before him commit i your day into his hands. And obviously him to lead you in you day lead and lead you in what ver it is that you are doing. H wever you are, you know, manife t in your day through with your ids work, going to travel to w rk, being at home at work all day looks like for yourself, y u know, I strongly believe in c mmand our days to God, because we do not know what the next our hours are going to bring. o we want to make sure that we h ve him in our day. And I want y u to know that you are importa t in this day, your feelings ma ter, your emotions matter ow you're processing your life, right now matters. You know, ot er people may not recognize it, other people may n t want to acknowledge it. Other eople may not understand where you're at right now, th y may not understand the jo rney that you're wrong, th y may not understand why you m y be, you know, within y urself or distance or, you know throwing yourself into work an not kind of not concentrat ng on the things that are pai areas in your lives. A lot of eople may not understand that And it's not for them to und rstand it for you to be able o process your day, being cons derate of the people that are a ound you. Try not to allow th se things to, you know, hange the emotions of other peo le around you. But where possible, understand that yo are on a journey. And this ourney is only given to us one three cannot come back, you now, in a number of years and ay I want to relive these mo ents, you know, you can't do hat. So I think it's real y, really important that we ake these moments and live an i tentional day and embrace where we're at. Understand that we ar here for a very good reason. hether we whether we are pain, hether we are happy, whet er we are content, whether we ar striving for more. We are in today for that reason, God has lessed us with another day, a d you are blessed with another d y. I just want to you know, tha k God for your lives. I want to thank you for your suppo t on your continuous liste ing to my podcasts. This is a j urney for me, this is a ourney of discovery. For me, this is a journey of letting o for me. And I hope that you nderstand that I am living in th s journey through these podca ts in the way that I'm communic ting with you are things that I'm doing with myself, you kno, I don't believe in prese ting what isn't, I believe in pr sented by is I believe in bei g in your truest self. And I be ieve that you are here on this e rth for a reason and your stor matters. So I hope that this h s blessed you in some way. I hop that you can take time in your day to do your own check ins, d a number of times in your day, s many as you need to ensure th t you are right, to ensure tha you feel the way you want to f el and to ensure that you are ma ing those practical actions to e able to change potentially h w you are feeling.
