The mind is miraculous if you’ re willing to train it properly.
The final step in unsticking yourself is saying yes to a daily practice that feeds your soul.
Affirmations. Prayer. Journaling. The hand – brain connection is powerful— use it. Write words of self-love and pride. Use your voice to speak encouragement aloud. Revisit timeless phrases like,“ Every day, in every way, I’ m getting better and better.”
Like anything practiced consistently, these small daily rituals create momentum. First you notice a lighter mood. Then better decisions. Then— almost without realizing it— you find yourself buying new heels and dancing salsa at a local club. Who knew you could shimmy like that?
Childhood stories layered with tween blunders, young adult missteps, and adult regrets can trip you up for a lifetime if you let them. Or they can become material for growth, compassion, and transformation.
Take back control using the strategies offered here. Release the old stories. Choose Big Change. And let the next story you tell be about your unexpected win at the salsa dance-off championship.
You might even celebrate— with a bowl of hot, buttered peas— right there at the dinner table.
