I hope your weekend is going well. I wish you nothing but the best. I'm learning more about myself and where I need to be. Everyday is a great day to learn. I've been reading the Bible, making music, analyzing my strengths, weaknesses and life. I appreciate you reading this as I hope this week this post helps people get through their struggles we can't see.
You Are Enough.
Never Forget Where You Came From And Who You Are.
Time Is One Resource You Can't Get Back.
Treasure Every Moment Like It's Your Last.
Today's Guide and Hypotheticals are on Trauma, Grief, Self Awareness and Optimism. I know this post is going to be emotional but I'm praying this reaches the right people. Please have Faith and Confidence in yourself. Everything will be okay. It's only Common Sense that the truth will reveal it's self. Appreciate good times.
Hypotheticals
Trauma
If you could completely erase a traumatic experience but also lose the strength and wisdom you gained from it, would you? What if healing from trauma required you to fully relive it one last time, would you go through the pain to free yourself? If trauma could be transferred, would you ever choose to take on the pain of a loved one to spare them the suffering? What if the way you tell your trauma story influences how much control it has over you, how would you choose to narrate it? If every emotional wound left a visible scar, how would the world treat trauma survivors differently?
Grief
What if grief wasn’t about letting go of someone, but about learning how to carry their presence differently, how would that change the way you heal? If you could speak to someone you’ve lost for five minutes, but you couldn’t ask any questions, what would you say? What if grief never truly disappears, but instead transforms into something else, what form has your grief taken? If you could see the unseen impact of your loved one's presence in your life, what small but powerful ways would they still be with you? What if grief was viewed as an act of love rather than a burden; how would that reframe your healing process?
Self-Awareness
If you met your younger self today, what would they admire about you, and what would they question? What if every time you ignored your true feelings, they manifested physically; how would that change your ability to process emotions? If your life had a narrator who spoke your deepest truths out loud, what uncomfortable things would they reveal? What if every assumption you hold about yourself is false, how would you begin discovering who you truly are? If you could fully understand the subconscious fears that guide your actions, how would that affect the way you move through the world?
Optimism
What if every challenge you face today is actually setting you up for something greater in the future, how would that shift your perspective? If you had to find one positive lesson in every setback you’ve experienced, what would be the most valuable thing you’ve learned so far? What if you started believing that everything in your life is unfolding exactly as it should, how would that change your daily attitude? If you could measure the amount of joy you bring into the world, what small acts of kindness could you do today to increase it? What if the best version of yourself is already within you, just waiting for you to believe in it; how would you start living differently today?
These hypotheticals are meant to spark deep introspection and encourage emotional growth. Read more Happy Fridays if you'd like more! 🙏🏿💯
Guide
A Comprehensive Guide to Healing Trauma, Grief, Self-Awareness, and Optimism
I. Dealing with Trauma & Grief
Trauma and grief are life-altering experiences that can leave emotional wounds that require time, patience, and active healing. Trauma may stem from childhood, relationships, loss, betrayal, violence, or even personal failures. Grief, on the other hand, is the process of mourning something or someone we’ve lost.
Understanding Trauma & Its Effects
Trauma rewires the brain, often leading to fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses.
• Fight: Becoming overly defensive or aggressive in situations.
• Flight: Avoidance, escapism, or constantly running from emotions.
• Freeze: Feeling stuck, unable to act, or overwhelmed.
• Fawn: People-pleasing to avoid conflict or seeking external validation excessively.
Understanding Grief & Its Stages (Adapted from the Kübler-Ross Model)
Grief is not linear; people can move back and forth through these stages:
• Denial: The initial shock, feeling like this can’t be real.
• Anger: Frustration and resentment at the situation, others, or even God.
• Bargaining: Trying to make sense of the loss, often with "what ifs" and regrets.
• Depression: Feeling the deep sorrow and weight of the situation.
• Acceptance: Coming to terms with reality, even if it still hurts.
How to Heal Trauma & Grief
• Acknowledge the Pain
• Suppressing pain doesn’t make it go away; it causes emotional numbness or unexpected outbursts.
• Accept that healing is necessary and that your pain is valid.
• Find a Safe Space to Express
• Journaling: Write letters to your past self, lost loved ones, or God.
• Creative Expression: Music, poetry, painting, or dance can transform pain into art.
• Therapy: Professional help can provide coping strategies and deep insights.
• Embrace the Power of Community
• Healing happens in relationships. Open up to trusted friends, spiritual guides, or support groups.
• Engage in acts of service—helping others can also heal you.
• Use Grounding Techniques (For Overwhelming Emotions)
• 5-4-3-2-1 Method: Name 5 things you see, 4 things you touch, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you taste.
• Breathwork: Try 4-7-8 breathing—inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8.
• Physical Anchors: Hold onto an object that brings comfort (a crystal, pendant, or even a prayer bead).
• Give Yourself Permission to Move Forward
• Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means learning how to carry the love forward without being consumed by the pain.
• Rituals like lighting a candle, visiting a grave, or creating a tribute can help with closure.
II. Cultivating Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is about understanding who you are, what you need, and why you react the way you do. Without self-awareness, we often repeat cycles of pain, get stuck in toxic patterns, or feel lost in our purpose.
Levels of Self-Awareness
• Emotional Awareness: Recognizing and regulating your emotions.
• Behavioral Awareness: Understanding why you react the way you do.
• Spiritual Awareness: Connecting with a deeper sense of self and purpose.
Practices for Deep Self-Awareness
• Daily Reflection
• Ask yourself: What did I feel today? What triggered me? How did I respond?
• Journaling prompts: What do I fear most? What do I love about myself? Where do I self-sabotage?
• Mindfulness & Meditation
• Observation without Judgment: Notice your thoughts as clouds—don’t get attached to them.
• Body Scans: Close your eyes and mentally scan your body. Where are you holding tension?
• Intermittent Silence: Take time each day to sit in silence. This creates space for intuition to rise.
• Recognize Your Patterns & Triggers
• What situations bring up old wounds?
• How do you respond when feeling threatened, insecure, or overwhelmed?
• What self-destructive habits do you repeat?
• The Mirror Technique
• The qualities you admire in others are often qualities you possess.
• The traits that trigger you in others may reflect unresolved issues within yourself.
• Seek Feedback & Be Open to Growth
• Ask close friends: What do you see as my strengths? Where do I hold myself back?
• Be willing to hear hard truths. Growth comes from discomfort.
III. Developing a Mindset of Optimism
Optimism isn’t about ignoring reality—it’s about choosing to see possibilities even in difficult situations. It’s a discipline, not just a personality trait.
If you met your younger self today, what would they admire about you, and what would they question? What if every time you ignored your true feelings, they manifested physically; how would that change your ability to process emotions? If your life had a narrator who spoke your deepest truths out loud, what uncomfortable things would they reveal?

III. Developing a Mindset of Optimism
Optimism isn’t about ignoring reality—it’s about choosing to see possibilities even in difficult situations. It’s a discipline, not just a personality trait.
The Science Behind Optimism
• Optimism has been shown to improve health, reduce stress, and increase resilience.
• The brain has neuroplasticity—meaning we can train it to see opportunities instead of obstacles.
How to Build an Optimistic Mindset
• Reframe Challenges
• Instead of: "Why is this happening to me?" → Ask: "What is this teaching me?"
• Example: A setback in your career may be the push you needed to pursue your real passion.
• Daily Gratitude Practice
• Every day, list 3 things you’re grateful for.
• Gratitude shifts your focus from lack to abundance.
• Speak Life Over Yourself
• Affirmations: I am resilient. I am divinely guided. Everything is working in my favor.
• What you speak over yourself shapes your reality.
• Surround Yourself with Positivity
• Read books that inspire.
• Limit time around negative people who drain your energy.
• Listen to uplifting music or podcasts.
• Celebrate Small Wins
• Progress, no matter how small, should be acknowledged.
• Example: You didn’t feel like getting up today, but you did—that’s a win!
• Gratitude shifts your focus from lack to abundance.

IV. How to Help Others on Their Journey
• Listen With Your Heart, Not Just Your Ears
• People don’t always need advice—they need presence.
• Respond with: “That sounds really tough. I’m here for you.”
• Encourage Their Growth Without Forcing It
• Ask powerful questions: “What do you think would help you right now?”
• Remind them of their resilience: “You’ve overcome so much already.”
• Lead by Example
• If you want to inspire, embody the change you wish to see.
• Show up with kindness, wisdom, and integrity.
• Share Resources & Practical Tools
• Offer books, meditations, affirmations, or even just a thoughtful message.
• Share a powerful quote or prayer when someone is struggling.
Final Thought: Be a Light
Healing is a journey, not a destination. The more we heal ourselves, the more we can help others rise.
Your Daily Mantra:
"I heal, I grow, I uplift. My journey is a light for others."

You are exactly what the world needs right now.

Hey
Hey
Hey
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided who's one of my kind
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo?
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do
Tonight
Hey
Hey
Hey
Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo?
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do
Tonight
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you's the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of, you see
I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you be with me
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo?
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do
