If I have to believe in something, why not believe in me? 

The question I have asked myself numerous times. Well, I finally answered and went all in and believed in myself to the fullest and the  results have been amazing.

About 4 months ago I enrolled myself in a course with the College for Financial Planning.

This course is something that will help me with my current job and the designation can potentially come with a 20% or more increase in pay. Now the catch is my job would cover it but of course with a reimbursement program or your manager could cover it upfront. Take a listen as I take you on this wonderful meaningful journey. This is a huge accomplisment. Below are some techniques i used to lead to a successful out come

some new techniques to help me regain focus and shake the negative self-talk. 

1. Every time a negative thought would enter my head, I would begin counting. I would count until that thought was gone so it could be from 1 to 200.. depending on the moment.
2. I took more breaks. In the beginning, I was trying to force myself to read a full chapter before taking a break and that was not working out for me at all.. I would doze off and end up reading the same page over and over with no understanding of what I read.
3. I would get up and go outside and either walk or run. Just to get my blood flowing
4. Heck a few times I stopped and baked a cake or cookies( for those that don’t know, baking is my favorite way to relax
5. Reset, restart, and refocus as many times as needed.
6. I’d look at my mom's pictures and remember how she raised 4 kids while putting herself through nursing school and be like Man you can’t quit on her or you dang it. 

Maybe some of these tips above and this whole story will inspire you to get after your goals and not wait for help from others. if you want it go get it. Bet the house on yourself and win it all ya dig
