☀️Problems are your greatest teachers! What is your current problem teaching you?☀️ We all want a smooth-sailing life. Unfortunately, we have very little control over the things that come our way. When something unwanted hits you, it’s natural to feel anxious, fearful and down. Unwanted events are tough-love lessons. If we can dig out the precious lessons from unwanted events, we are in control of our emotions and we can grow into a MUCH stronger person. ✅Hit “like” if you feel inspired by this.

I couldn’t wait to rock my new tee from @my.college.experience I’ll spare you the extra dialogue because y’all know how I feel about Auburn. 💙🧡💙🧡 IYKYK Auburn is special to me for SO many reasons and I’m forever indebted to Harold Franklin for paving the way for people who look like me. War Eagle! @toryd4real I’m in the game now, Fam! #mycollegeexperience #WarEagle #wareaglealways #auburnalumni #AuburnGrad #auburnmom #morethanfootballforme

People be like, “I want to be successful.” But those same people quit and give up every time a problem arises or when things get tough. Wishing for it won't get it. You've got to WORK for it! #hardwork #motivation #success #dedication #nevergiveup #love #goals #inspiration #hustle #work #lifestyle #life #follow #like #happy #motivationalquotes #passion #mindset #believe #instagood #loveyourself #whatcherithinks

Day 2 of our trip to the Smokies included spending some time at Dollywood! #hosted I’m so glad the rain held off long enough for us to enjoy some time in this BEAUTIFUL theme park. Our visit to @dollywood was during the park’s fan-favorite spring festival, the 2022 Flower & Food Festival! (It’s definitely my new fave!) The entire park was beautifully decorated with the most amazing flower displays that I’ve ever seen! We spent so much time admiring the Mosaicultures (that’s what these beautiful flower displays are called). We also loved the beautiful Umbrella Sky. ☂️☂️☂️☂️☂️ And Y’all, if the 1 million+ blooms aren’t enough to convince you to visit Dollywood, the food, rides, shows, and music should! The Flower & Food Festival is April 22 - June 5, 2022. Make sure to follow along in my stories for more of our Smoky Mountain Adventures! And you know I’ll be sharing all the details on the blog soon! You’ll be the first to know if you’re on my email list!

Be kind to yourself! Every day we are faced with opportunities to change old habits, old fears, old mindsets that are harmful – this is your time to change. Within the span of twenty-four hours, we have the chance to wake up refreshed and start anew. And sometimes, this means breaking down your actions step-by-step in order to transform yourself into who you want to be.

“Love yourself enough to set boundaries. Your time and energy are precious. You get to choose how you use it. You teach people how to treat you by deciding what you will and won’t accept.” ~Anna Taylor

If I were to ask you if you treat yourself well, what would be your response? Could you say without a doubt that you are intentional about being good to yourself and doing what’s best for you more often than not? Most people have a difficult time treating themselves the way that they treat other people. We are generally way nicer to other people than we are to ourselves. On the blog today, I'm sharing some quotes to inspire (and remind) you to treat yourself well. I'll see you on the blog (link in bio) https://whatcherithinks.com/treat-yourself-well-quotes/

⚡ 5 Signs You are Sitting in your Comfort Zone and Need to Change ASAP⚡⁣ ⁣ Women who achieve great things don’t do the same things and expect different results.⁣ ⁣ They change strategies, try new things and take intelligent risks.⁣ ⁣ How do you know if you need to jazz up your life?⁣ ⁣ ✍ You can’t remember the last time you tried a new routine or did something new.⁣ ⁣ ✍ You are not growing or learning ⁣ ⁣ ✍ You’ve been procrastinating on some tasks for far too long⁣ ⁣ ✍ You feel bored (biggest sign that a change needs to happen!)⁣ ⁣ ✍ You feel like you need to have some shifts in your life⁣ ⁣ You are not alone!

Have you been reading self-help books but your life still remains the same?⁣ ⁣ I remember when I used to buy countless books to get ideas and motivation in hopes of making my life better. ⁣ ⁣ Reading is a wonderful hobby, but taking action beats reading any time!⁣ ⁣ Today, I take more action instead of reading or listening to podcasts all day long. ⁣ ⁣ It’s easy to feel ‘productive’ when we consume other people’s content. ⁣ ⁣ Our life can only get better when we practice what we’ve learned! ⁣ ⁣ Human beings love comfort and familiarity. So taking that small step to move forward can be overwhelming.⁣ ⁣ Many times, we need someone to PUSH us to take action towards our targets and goals. ⁣ ⁣ ⚡Comment ‘I will take action today’ and inspire people to step forward to make their goals happen.⚡ #action #win #selfcaretip #whatcheriththinks #chaseyourdreams #selfcareforwomen #selfcareforblackwomen #everydayselfcare

💛3 Ways to make peace with your embarrassing past.💛⁣ ⁣ You may have done silly things back in the day. You may have a shady past. You may have embarrassed yourself many times.⁣ ⁣ Your past makes you a stronger, more intelligent person. Mistakes and failures make the best lessons. ⁣ ⁣ How do we turn past mistakes + failures into gold?⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣Strategy #1: It’s reflection time. Your past failures have taught you precious lessons. What are the lessons you learned? (Be truthful with yourself!)⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣Strategy #2: Be brave, go deep and find out why you did THAT thing in the past. Maybe you were insecure and needed approval. ⁣ ⁣ Maybe your ego took over and you took the wrong action. Maybe you were chasing your goals hard and made some wrong moves. ⁣ ⁣ You will feel empowered to OWN your past -mistakes and all. ⁣ And if you share this vulnerable side of yourself, people feel a warm connection with you.⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣Strategy #3: Laugh it off. This takes massive courage. ⁣ But if you can laugh at your mistakes, you are in control! ⁣ Nobody can bring you down if you face your past, own it and laugh at yourself. ⁣ ⁣ 👇Which strategy works for you? 1, 2 or 3?
