work is understanding. But before wedive into our discussion, let's center ourselves
with the short guided meditation. Allright, I want you to close your
(03:52):
eyes and take a deep breath then, and as you exhale, I want

(05:09):
all right, if you are newhere to the season and Seppalve podcast,
this is just something that we doevery day Monday through Friday, just a
little guided meditation just to help usto you know, kind of center ourselves
before we get into the topic youhand. And it's all about it's all
about using our words impeccably. Andtoday the impeccable word of today is positivity,
(05:30):
and exploring how to use the wordis positivity is how we're going to
start now. You see, positivityisn't just about feeling happy. It's a
two that can profoundly impact our wellbeing and in the way that we interact
with the world. So what Iwant to do. I want to impact
some layers of positivity and discover onhow they can harness its power. You
(05:53):
see, positivity can be cultivated invarious layers to enhance ones well being and
outlook on life. Life Number onegratitude. This is a word that we
speak about often about often. Gratitudeis like the cornerstone or the pillar of
who we are. Is more onfocusing on what you are thankful for and
(06:15):
expressing gratitude for the good things inyour life. Another one that's optimism,
having a positive attitude towards the futureand believing that things will work out for
the best. Another layer is mindfulness, being present in the moment and acknowledging
(06:36):
your thoughts and feelings without judging it. Another layer is self compassion, treating
yourself with kindness and understanding, andespecially during difficult times. Another layer is
(06:57):
the act of kindness. Engage inacts of kindness towards others can bring a
sense of fulfillment and positivity. Here'sanother layer, positive affirmation, practicing positive
self talk and affirming your worth andcapabilities. There's another layer that can help
(07:19):
cultivate that positivity. And our lastlayer is surrounding yourself with positive influences,
spending time with supportive and uplifting peoplewho encourage your growth and well being.
You see, by incorporating these differentlayers of positivity into your day, into
(07:40):
your life, then you can createa more optimistic and fulfilling mindset. All
Right, So, as I waswriting notes and making an outline for today's
show, I was like, howam I going to do this show?
(08:00):
How am I going to bring thisshow across in in in a positive way?
And because yesterday, my day,yesterday, it started off beautiful,
it started off great, and thenI had a nice little trying time.
I had a nice little trying timetowards the middle of the day. And
(08:22):
I'm going to just speak very brieflyon that trying time. Now, I
had seen throughout the weekend that thatmy mom she was diagnosed with dimension Alzheimer's
dimension, and she has been doingvery very well these past few weeks months.
(08:43):
This past month, she's been doingvery well, and so we hadn't
had that many flares, you know, flare ups is what I call them,
to where she goes into these episodes, and we hadn't had them in
a while. And I had youknow, you get this glimpse and you
see the sense of coming in,right, And so as I'm seeing them
(09:09):
coming in, I'm like, ohmy God, Like okay, I'm like,
okay, let me try to figureout something, you know, on
how to manage this. So Iwas able to manage the little ones,
you know, the little ones thatwas you know, trying to flare up
throughout the weekend, right, Andso because she was you know, misplacing
things, losing things, and wewere able to you know, when she
(09:30):
was able to find them. Andthe best thing is for me for her
to find them and not us tofind them, you know. So I
said, well, you know what, Mama, I think you had you
know such and such. So I'llsay this and you'll kind of you know,
I thought I saw you put ithere, you know, to where
maybe she'll go back into that spaceof place, you know where you know,
maybe she forgot it. And soyesterday, yesterday afternoon, yesterday afternoon,
(10:00):
she had came and she had said, I can't find my mailbox key.
And she said, you were thelast person that I gave my mailbox
key too. And I said,well, yeah, I said, but
you came back and got it fromme the other day, which was last
Thursday. I said, you cameback and got it from me, I
said, and then you went upstairswith it. And I said, that
(10:20):
was the last time I seen it. So she has the keys, and
she has one key on there.Well, she has the keys, but
then on that keychain was the mailboxkey, and it was gone. But
also, now that I'm sitting heretalking with you all, now I remember
that she had actually labeled and tapedthree different keys on there, the front
(10:48):
door, the top locked, thebottom lock in the westerning. When I
looked on the keys yesterday that shegave me, there was no labels on
them. So now I think Iknow what happened to the key, all
right. So I didn't know whathappened to the key. I thought,
well, maybe you know it gotloose or you know, And she said,
well, her thing was, I'vehad it on all these years.
(11:11):
There is no way that this gonnahappen. So as I'm sitting there.
I said, well, let mego in here and find you know,
try to help find it, youknow, through your room. But when
I go in a room, it'sjust, you know, it's just a
chaos of a mess now because shehas been looking for several different things that
she has misplaced. All right,So I go into the room and I'm
(11:33):
standing here and I'm like, ohgod, okay, it's okay. It's
worse than what I thought. SoI come out and I go in my
room and I take a moment,take a moment for myself, because I
have to do that, take amoment for myself. And I'm sitting there
(11:56):
and I have my eyes closed,and I hear a knock knock at my
door, and that's her. Shesaid, come here is she? Uh
said, well, can I behonest? I said, yes, please
be honest. She said, well, I think you all are messing with
me. I think you all tryingto drive me crazy, like this is
I know what my stuff is.And so she begins to talk and she
(12:18):
says that I just went to themailbox yesterday. My mom hasn't been to
the mailbox in months, maybe abouta month or so. She hasn't been
to the mailbox. And then shesays, well, I believe this is
something that and I was scared thatthis happened. It's something that my mom
my mom, my mother went through, your grandmother went through, and this
(12:41):
is I didn't I didn't want tohave to go through this. This is
something that I don't want to goshe said. So maybe, she said,
I'm not claiming it. I'm notclaiming it, she said, but
I think I might have. AndI said the words for her, and
then she said yeah. And Isaid, well, mom, we've already
been to the doctor. Well wehave said, yes, we have.
(13:03):
I said, yes, we have, we already been to the doctor,
and and uh, she just lookedat me and she just started crying.
And at that moment, I,you know, kind of hugged and held
her and then she stopped crying,and then she repeated us. She repeated
(13:24):
the It was like a It waslike you know, as you write a
script for a play and you saycut and let's do it again, and
so it was like a replay andso she had went through it again,
and it think is that it didit like two or three times. And
(13:46):
then when I realized that, butI realized it before. But when it
was like, okay, do something, I said, well, you know
what, I said, Well,the doctor told us that these are the
things that we need to do,and I said, we need you need
to walk, I said, andwe need to continue to eat better,
you know, like the sugar thatyou like. You know. So I'm
(14:07):
explaining that. She said, oh, well, let's go walk now.
Mind you know that she hasn't beenwanting to walk at all, and so
it's been very challenging for me toget her to walk or to do anything.
So we was walking yesterday. Wedid a little walking, and I
was silent through the walk. Iwas silent through the walker, and then
(14:31):
I was just listening to her.It was her, I and my my
baby girl and my little dogs arewalking. And we came back in and
she ran upstairs and my daughter ranupstairs, and so I went out to
the back because I knew that therewas a moment I needed to be able
to be, you know, tomy So I had my music on and
(14:56):
a song that my dad used toplay all the time by Earth Wind and
Fire came on. And usually ifthat song just it just it just came
on it just came on and Ikind of knew that was a connection that
my father was there with me.And as I sat there, and I'm
be very honest, I sat thereand I had a moment to where I
(15:16):
was just weeping, just crying,just weeping. And then my baby,
my man came out and he wassitting because they was ready to get you
know, swim in the pool,and came out. You know, he
talked to me for a little bitand we talked, and probably like twenty
minutes later, the music, mymusic was still blasting in the backyard and
(15:39):
my mom came out. Well firstshe stuck her head. She said,
y'all swimming, and we said yeah, and she came out and she started
dancing. She wanted to step.Now, mind you, growing up,
I hadn't really seen my mom's dance, step or anything. The very first
time that I really saw my momstep and dance was at her seventieth birthday
(16:03):
party, and at that moment,we had a life. I hired a
live singer that can sing songs thatmy dad used to sing to her all
the time, and so she wasmoving and dancing to that, and she
wanted to you know, step anddance, and so she was dancing with
my man and they were, youknow, after by the pool side dancing,
(16:26):
and as I'm filming it and I'mlooking at her, and she didn't
have a care in the world,like whatever just happened thirty minutes to a
goo to a hour go to probablyeven this weekend. It was out of
her mind and out of her head. And at that moment, I I
(16:47):
just said, and I thought aboutit, and I said, well,
I understand what's going on, andsometimes it can be very very challenging and
very cruel to our spirit, inour minds and our emotion. I said,
but the very positive thing that Ican get out of here is that
her love for life and her lovefor music and her love for dance,
(17:10):
Beau, is that even through allof that, she's just living a moment.
And she was able to capture thatmoment right there and just dancing and
waking up this morning, I knewI had to come in here and do
this show, and I knew exactlythe show was on positivity. And I'm
(17:32):
not gonna lie, y'all. Iam not gonna lie. I was like,
how can I what can I sharewith them with positivity on the long
day that I had yesterday. Iknow it started off good, but in
the middle of the day I hada very challenging moment. But what I
can say right now is I trulydo understand. Again, just another confirmation
(17:55):
of my journey of why this selflove podcast was created, because during that
yesterday I use several of the strategiesand tools that I talk about. I
use a lot of them yesterday justin that small amount of time. And
(18:18):
the positive thing is behind that isbecause I've been open to be able to
do that, that I understand thatat times that will be challenging moments.
But what's the positive that I canfind out of that? The positive that
I can find out of all ofthat is that I understand this woman and
I understand what she is going through. And what I do have is I
(18:41):
have empathy for her. Not onlydo I have compassion for her, but
I also have self compassion for myself. To understand that you can have your
moments sometimes where you cry. Isthat a negative. I'm not looking at
that as a negative. I'm lookingat at as the positive moment that I
(19:02):
am being self awareness a lot ofonly of myself, but of her.
But also what that makes me dois that you know what, you have
to work a little bit harder,you have to work up a little work
a little bit harder for her.So even within negativity, I find positive
(19:29):
notes for me. Now, I'mnot gonna lie. I don't know how
this is going to help you all, but I hope it does. I
hope it resonate with you all.Is that even in the most challenging times,
seek what that positive is in there, because I look at lessons as
(19:49):
being positive moments as positivity. Allright, So since I shared that story
with you, all right, now, let's take a quick break and then
when we come back, we'll geta little bit more into this impeccable word
of positivity. Intragurty got is notme Banks? Here on this season and

Be kind to yourself and you'll alwaysall right. Ishagurt he got his
(21:21):
thumb and say oh. This seasonis a love podcast. And today we're
talking about positivity here with a motherMay. We are using our words impactaly
And I was just sharing a storywith you all on a bit of my
weekend, but on how I havebeen able to take the positive out of
a very trying situation. So letme tell you how that all came about
(21:47):
about As I was recording this showthis morning as I was recording this show
this morning, and on my computerusually is silent, and I swear that
I thought I put it on silent, But there was a notification that came
up on my on my computer andit was very very loud to where the
(22:11):
mic will pick it up, andso of course I had to pause,
cut collect. But there was anotification that told me that Ayana Bennette Benzette,
excuse me if I'm pronouncing her namewrong, is that she was doing
a live and alive was called myHair is on Fire. That's the name
of that name of her life wasmy Hair is on Fire. So I
(22:33):
figured, well, hold on,this was extremely loud. So is this
telling me to pause here and golisten over there? So guess what I
did, Yes, I went togo listen over there. So as I'm
listening over there to her, sheis speaking on about your hair being on
fire. Now I only heard afew things from which on a few minutes
(22:57):
from where she said about a goodfive minut and so what she was saying,
because I knew I had to getback to doing without what I'm doing,
But I believe I heard what Ineeded to hear, and so what
she was saying, is that youneed to be come from an honest place
of who you are, being inauthenticof who you are. And there were
(23:22):
several different, you know, questionsthat she was asking the viewers to listeners,
and one of the questions was,do you really love what you want
to do what you're doing. Areyou being honest with the people around you?
Are you being honest with your story? Are you being honest? Are
you being authentic? She said,because when you're not, your hair begins
(23:45):
to burn, to be on fire. And she went to breakham down as
honesty, h hair, authenticity,A And I didn't even get to the
rest because I felt like I alreadyknew what that was. And this was
(24:06):
just in the beginning of my showthat I knew, like hold on because
I had, you know, Iwas as I already did. I was
speaking in layers, and I wasgonna go do something else and do something
else, and I knew me myselfis that, you know, I was
kind of struggling with the positivity worldword today and I knew that, Okay,
no, I need to do this. You know, this is our
(24:27):
last week for this for this season, and so but her thing was like,
no, you need to be authenticwith it. Tell what happened yesterday.
Tell what happened yesterday, and tellwhere you saw the positivity of it.
(24:48):
Well, you were able to beable to gather yourself, Show how
this podcast has been a positivity tonot only them, but to you as
well, because if it wasn't foryou searching and seeking for your self love
and your healing, then a lotof the tools that you used yesterday you
(25:10):
wouldn't have been able to use.I even got a text from someone and
I told this fellow person, Isaid, my one of my still people,
still friends. I said, thevery thing that you have created that
you give to your clients and toother people you give to self, You
(25:37):
give it to yourself. It's alot of times that we create things,
we have advice for other people,all of this other stuff, and for
some apparent reason, we don't thinkthat it applies to us. The very
people that are speaking it out ofour mouths to other people want other people
to believe us, but for somereason we don't think that it applied to
(26:03):
ourselves. And it does. Itdoes. Even when you're talking to your
child, the words that you arespeaking to them are the same words that
applies to you. And I'm gonnabe very very honest. The version that
(26:30):
you hear of this story that Ijust shared with you, that was the
second version, because the first versionwasn't even right. And what I mean,
it wasn't right. It wasn't likeit it was a lie because it
(26:52):
wasn't a lie. It was thetruth. But I was still put a
mask on it. I was stilltrying to make it sound you know,
hmm. It's so no that momentthat we had from noon to two was
(27:15):
it two o'clock, two three o'clock, and that spin that it was horrible
for me, But then I wasable to see positive, positive light that
come from it. And I'm gettingready to say this, this is gonna
be so tricked out. The verythe very reason of why I felt hurt
(27:41):
was the woman that was going throughthis thing is who the very reason or
the very that put the positivity init back into it for me. Just
to see her smile, just tosee her dance, just to see her
sway, just to see all ofthose things was a positive life for me,
(28:04):
even though knowing what I just wentthrough for that past thirty minutes and
the breakdown. But that breakdown wasgiving myself permission to have self compassion for
myself, to understand that you areallowed to do that. You don't have
to be that strong, strong allthe time. For me, that's positive
(28:26):
for me because I wouldn't been ableto do I'll still be with a strong,
still face, walking around here,strong, just hurting the hall within.
And so this Self Love the Seasonof Self Love podcast, My listeners,
you are part of my purpose.My purpose has been a positivity for
(28:48):
me. My healing has been apositivity for me and my mom going through
this, this Alzheimer's, living withit, I'm living through it has been
a positivity for me. So forme, these are reminders that you have
to look for that light. Forme, light is positivity. I have
(29:15):
to look for that light in everythingthat I do. I'm sorry, y'all,
but I have to things that arehappening in my life that don't think
I have to figure out what isthat light, what is the positive aspect
of that I need to take fromthere? And this goes back into talking
(29:40):
about us overcoming things or the lessonsthat we learn from situations in our life,
from past experience, from things thatare now and living in a moment
right now. It also taught meabout living in the moment, being mindful.
(30:07):
That's one of the layers cultivating positivity. Having empathy for others, an
act of kindness. So even thoughthat moment was I was still able to
(30:30):
use quite a few other different layersof positivity to cultivate it fully. Yeah,
all right, so let's do this. Let's do a quick look journal
journaling exercise. All right, let'stake a moment to reflect through our journaling.
(30:55):
So here are a few prompts thatI want to give you to guide
you. And as doctor will willsay, grab your purpose paper and purpose
pencil. And if you don't haveit at this moment, wherever you at,
you can always come back to thisshow, to this episode and write
them down. But here's one problem. What are three positive things that happened
(31:15):
to you this week? What arethree positive things that happen to you this
week? And another one? Whatis one negative thought that you can turn
into a positive one? What negativedoubt? What is one negative thought that
(31:40):
you can turn into a positive one? And the last one, how can
you spread positivity in your daily interactions? Now? I know it's gonna take
some time to kind of pounder andwrite down your thoughts. Will take your
time, take take take this moment, take your time or whatever after the
(32:06):
show is off or tonight before yougo to bed. Make that a part
of your journal journaling exercise is todo that. All right, All right,
so let's do this, Let's takethis last break, and then when
we come back, we're gonna Igot some affirmations in it. I want
(32:29):
to do a nice little guided meditationbecause remember the month of May is all
about mental health awareness. And Isaid that for the last two weeks that

his number, brings here on theseason and self Love podcast and you know

work is understanding. But before wedive into our discussion, let's center ourselves

I want you to be ready toembrace the day ahead. All right,
(05:09):
all right, if you are newhere to the season and Seppalve podcast,
this is just something that we doevery day Monday through Friday, just a
little guided meditation just to help usto you know, kind of center ourselves
before we get into the topic youhand. And it's all about it's all
about using our words impeccably. Andtoday the impeccable word of today is positivity,
(05:30):
and exploring how to use the wordis positivity is how we're going to
start now. You see, positivityisn't just about feeling happy. It's a
two that can profoundly impact our wellbeing and in the way that we interact
with the world. So what Iwant to do. I want to impact
some layers of positivity and discover onhow they can harness its power. You
(05:53):
see, positivity can be cultivated invarious layers to enhance ones well being and
outlook on life. Life Number onegratitude. This is a word that we
speak about often about often. Gratitudeis like the cornerstone or the pillar of
who we are. Is more onfocusing on what you are thankful for and
(06:15):
expressing gratitude for the good things inyour life. Another one that's optimism,
having a positive attitude towards the futureand believing that things will work out for
the best. Another layer is mindfulness, being present in the moment and acknowledging
(06:36):
your thoughts and feelings without judging it. Another layer is self compassion, treating
yourself with kindness and understanding, andespecially during difficult times. Another layer is
(06:57):
the act of kindness. Engage inacts of kindness towards others can bring a
sense of fulfillment and positivity. Here'sanother layer, positive affirmation, practicing positive
self talk and affirming your worth andcapabilities. There's another layer that can help
(07:19):
cultivate that positivity. And our lastlayer is surrounding yourself with positive influences,
spending time with supportive and uplifting peoplewho encourage your growth and well being.
You see, by incorporating these differentlayers of positivity into your day, into
(07:40):
your life, then you can createa more optimistic and fulfilling mindset. All
Right, So, as I waswriting notes and making an outline for today's
show, I was like, howam I going to do this show?
(08:00):
How am I going to bring thisshow across in in in a positive way?
And because yesterday, my day,yesterday, it started off beautiful,
it started off great, and thenI had a nice little trying time.
I had a nice little trying timetowards the middle of the day. And
(08:22):
I'm going to just speak very brieflyon that trying time. Now, I
had seen throughout the weekend that thatmy mom she was diagnosed with dimension Alzheimer's
dimension, and she has been doingvery very well these past few weeks months.
(08:43):
This past month, she's been doingvery well, and so we hadn't
had that many flares, you know, flare ups is what I call them,
to where she goes into these episodes, and we hadn't had them in
a while. And I had youknow, you get this glimpse and you
see the sense of coming in,right, And so as I'm seeing them
(09:09):
coming in, I'm like, ohmy God, Like okay, I'm like,
okay, let me try to figureout something, you know, on
how to manage this. So Iwas able to manage the little ones,
you know, the little ones thatwas you know, trying to flare up
throughout the weekend, right, Andso because she was you know, misplacing
things, losing things, and wewere able to you know, when she
(09:30):
was able to find them. Andthe best thing is for me for her
to find them and not us tofind them, you know. So I
said, well, you know what, Mama, I think you had you
know such and such. So I'llsay this and you'll kind of you know,
I thought I saw you put ithere, you know, to where
maybe she'll go back into that spaceof place, you know where you know,
maybe she forgot it. And soyesterday, yesterday afternoon, yesterday afternoon,
(10:00):
she had came and she had said, I can't find my mailbox key.
And she said, you were thelast person that I gave my mailbox
key too. And I said,well, yeah, I said, but
you came back and got it fromme the other day, which was last
Thursday. I said, you cameback and got it from me, I
said, and then you went upstairswith it. And I said, that
(10:20):
was the last time I seen it. So she has the keys, and
she has one key on there.Well, she has the keys, but
then on that keychain was the mailboxkey, and it was gone. But
also, now that I'm sitting heretalking with you all, now I remember
that she had actually labeled and tapedthree different keys on there, the front
(10:48):
door, the top locked, thebottom lock in the westerning. When I
looked on the keys yesterday that shegave me, there was no labels on
them. So now I think Iknow what happened to the key, all
right. So I didn't know whathappened to the key. I thought,
well, maybe you know it gotloose or you know, And she said,
well, her thing was, I'vehad it on all these years.
(11:11):
There is no way that this gonnahappen. So as I'm sitting there.
I said, well, let mego in here and find you know,
try to help find it, youknow, through your room. But when
I go in a room, it'sjust, you know, it's just a
chaos of a mess now because shehas been looking for several different things that
she has misplaced. All right,So I go into the room and I'm
(11:33):
standing here and I'm like, ohgod, okay, it's okay. It's
worse than what I thought. SoI come out and I go in my
room and I take a moment,take a moment for myself, because I
have to do that, take amoment for myself. And I'm sitting there
(11:56):
and I have my eyes closed,and I hear a knock knock at my
door, and that's her. Shesaid, come here is she? Uh
said, well, can I behonest? I said, yes, please
be honest. She said, well, I think you all are messing with
me. I think you all tryingto drive me crazy, like this is
I know what my stuff is.And so she begins to talk and she
(12:18):
says that I just went to themailbox yesterday. My mom hasn't been to
the mailbox in months, maybe abouta month or so. She hasn't been
to the mailbox. And then shesays, well, I believe this is
something that and I was scared thatthis happened. It's something that my mom
my mom, my mother went through, your grandmother went through, and this
(12:41):
is I didn't I didn't want tohave to go through this. This is
something that I don't want to goshe said. So maybe, she said,
I'm not claiming it. I'm notclaiming it, she said, but
I think I might have. AndI said the words for her, and
then she said yeah. And Isaid, well, mom, we've already
been to the doctor. Well wehave said, yes, we have.
(13:03):
I said, yes, we have, we already been to the doctor,
and and uh, she just lookedat me and she just started crying.
And at that moment, I,you know, kind of hugged and held
her and then she stopped crying,and then she repeated us. She repeated
(13:24):
the It was like a It waslike you know, as you write a
script for a play and you saycut and let's do it again, and
so it was like a replay andso she had went through it again,
and it think is that it didit like two or three times. And
(13:46):
then when I realized that, butI realized it before. But when it
was like, okay, do something, I said, well, you know
what, I said, Well,the doctor told us that these are the
things that we need to do,and I said, we need you need
to walk, I said, andwe need to continue to eat better,
you know, like the sugar thatyou like. You know. So I'm
(14:07):
explaining that. She said, oh, well, let's go walk now.
Mind you know that she hasn't beenwanting to walk at all, and so
it's been very challenging for me toget her to walk or to do anything.
So we was walking yesterday. Wedid a little walking, and I
was silent through the walk. Iwas silent through the walker, and then
(14:31):
I was just listening to her.It was her, I and my my
baby girl and my little dogs arewalking. And we came back in and
she ran upstairs and my daughter ranupstairs, and so I went out to
the back because I knew that therewas a moment I needed to be able
to be, you know, tomy So I had my music on and
(14:56):
a song that my dad used toplay all the time by Earth Wind and
Fire came on. And usually ifthat song just it just it just came
on it just came on and Ikind of knew that was a connection that
my father was there with me.And as I sat there, and I'm
be very honest, I sat thereand I had a moment to where I
(15:16):
was just weeping, just crying,just weeping. And then my baby,
my man came out and he wassitting because they was ready to get you
know, swim in the pool,and came out. You know, he
talked to me for a little bitand we talked, and probably like twenty
minutes later, the music, mymusic was still blasting in the backyard and
(15:39):
my mom came out. Well firstshe stuck her head. She said,
y'all swimming, and we said yeah, and she came out and she started
dancing. She wanted to step.Now, mind you, growing up,
I hadn't really seen my mom's dance, step or anything. The very first
time that I really saw my momstep and dance was at her seventieth birthday
(16:03):
party, and at that moment,we had a life. I hired a
live singer that can sing songs thatmy dad used to sing to her all
the time, and so she wasmoving and dancing to that, and she
wanted to you know, step anddance, and so she was dancing with
my man and they were, youknow, after by the pool side dancing,
(16:26):
and as I'm filming it and I'mlooking at her, and she didn't
have a care in the world,like whatever just happened thirty minutes to a
goo to a hour go to probablyeven this weekend. It was out of
her mind and out of her head. And at that moment, I I
(16:47):
just said, and I thought aboutit, and I said, well,
I understand what's going on, andsometimes it can be very very challenging and
very cruel to our spirit, inour minds and our emotion. I said,
but the very positive thing that Ican get out of here is that
her love for life and her lovefor music and her love for dance,
(17:10):
Beau, is that even through allof that, she's just living a moment.
And she was able to capture thatmoment right there and just dancing and
waking up this morning, I knewI had to come in here and do
this show, and I knew exactlythe show was on positivity. And I'm
(17:32):
not gonna lie, y'all. Iam not gonna lie. I was like,
how can I what can I sharewith them with positivity on the long
day that I had yesterday. Iknow it started off good, but in
the middle of the day I hada very challenging moment. But what I
can say right now is I trulydo understand. Again, just another confirmation
(17:55):
of my journey of why this selflove podcast was created, because during that
yesterday I use several of the strategiesand tools that I talk about. I
use a lot of them yesterday justin that small amount of time. And
(18:18):
the positive thing is behind that isbecause I've been open to be able to
do that, that I understand thatat times that will be challenging moments.
But what's the positive that I canfind out of that? The positive that
I can find out of all ofthat is that I understand this woman and
I understand what she is going through. And what I do have is I
(18:41):
have empathy for her. Not onlydo I have compassion for her, but
I also have self compassion for myself. To understand that you can have your
moments sometimes where you cry. Isthat a negative. I'm not looking at
that as a negative. I'm lookingat at as the positive moment that I
(19:02):
am being self awareness a lot ofonly of myself, but of her.
But also what that makes me dois that you know what, you have
to work a little bit harder,you have to work up a little work
a little bit harder for her.So even within negativity, I find positive
(19:29):
notes for me. Now, I'mnot gonna lie. I don't know how
this is going to help you all, but I hope it does. I
hope it resonate with you all.Is that even in the most challenging times,
seek what that positive is in there, because I look at lessons as
(19:49):
being positive moments as positivity. Allright, So since I shared that story
with you, all right, now, let's take a quick break and then
when we come back, we'll geta little bit more into this impeccable word
of positivity. Intragurty got is notme Banks? Here on this season and

Be kind to yourself and you'll alwaysall right. Ishagurt he got his
(21:21):
thumb and say oh. This seasonis a love podcast. And today we're
talking about positivity here with a motherMay. We are using our words impactaly
And I was just sharing a storywith you all on a bit of my
weekend, but on how I havebeen able to take the positive out of
a very trying situation. So letme tell you how that all came about
(21:47):
about As I was recording this showthis morning as I was recording this show
this morning, and on my computerusually is silent, and I swear that
I thought I put it on silent, But there was a notification that came
up on my on my computer andit was very very loud to where the
(22:11):
mic will pick it up, andso of course I had to pause,
cut collect. But there was anotification that told me that Ayana Bennette Benzette,
excuse me if I'm pronouncing her namewrong, is that she was doing
a live and alive was called myHair is on Fire. That's the name
of that name of her life wasmy Hair is on Fire. So I
(22:33):
figured, well, hold on,this was extremely loud. So is this
telling me to pause here and golisten over there? So guess what I
did, Yes, I went togo listen over there. So as I'm
listening over there to her, sheis speaking on about your hair being on
fire. Now I only heard afew things from which on a few minutes
(22:57):
from where she said about a goodfive minut and so what she was saying,
because I knew I had to getback to doing without what I'm doing,
But I believe I heard what Ineeded to hear, and so what
she was saying, is that youneed to be come from an honest place
of who you are, being inauthenticof who you are. And there were
(23:22):
several different, you know, questionsthat she was asking the viewers to listeners,
and one of the questions was,do you really love what you want
to do what you're doing. Areyou being honest with the people around you?
Are you being honest with your story? Are you being honest? Are
you being authentic? She said,because when you're not, your hair begins
(23:45):
to burn, to be on fire. And she went to breakham down as
honesty, h hair, authenticity,A And I didn't even get to the
rest because I felt like I alreadyknew what that was. And this was
(24:06):
just in the beginning of my showthat I knew, like hold on because
I had, you know, Iwas as I already did. I was
speaking in layers, and I wasgonna go do something else and do something
else, and I knew me myselfis that, you know, I was
kind of struggling with the positivity worldword today and I knew that, Okay,
no, I need to do this. You know, this is our
(24:27):
last week for this for this season, and so but her thing was like,
no, you need to be authenticwith it. Tell what happened yesterday.
Tell what happened yesterday, and tellwhere you saw the positivity of it.
(24:48):
Well, you were able to beable to gather yourself, Show how
this podcast has been a positivity tonot only them, but to you as
well, because if it wasn't foryou searching and seeking for your self love
and your healing, then a lotof the tools that you used yesterday you
(25:10):
wouldn't have been able to use.I even got a text from someone and
I told this fellow person, Isaid, my one of my still people,
still friends. I said, thevery thing that you have created that
you give to your clients and toother people you give to self, You
(25:37):
give it to yourself. It's alot of times that we create things,
we have advice for other people,all of this other stuff, and for
some apparent reason, we don't thinkthat it applies to us. The very
people that are speaking it out ofour mouths to other people want other people
to believe us, but for somereason we don't think that it applied to
(26:03):
ourselves. And it does. Itdoes. Even when you're talking to your
child, the words that you arespeaking to them are the same words that
applies to you. And I'm gonnabe very very honest. The version that
(26:30):
you hear of this story that Ijust shared with you, that was the
second version, because the first versionwasn't even right. And what I mean,
it wasn't right. It wasn't likeit it was a lie because it
(26:52):
wasn't a lie. It was thetruth. But I was still put a
mask on it. I was stilltrying to make it sound you know,
hmm. It's so no that momentthat we had from noon to two was
(27:15):
it two o'clock, two three o'clock, and that spin that it was horrible
for me, But then I wasable to see positive, positive light that
come from it. And I'm gettingready to say this, this is gonna
be so tricked out. The verythe very reason of why I felt hurt
(27:41):
was the woman that was going throughthis thing is who the very reason or
the very that put the positivity init back into it for me. Just
to see her smile, just tosee her dance, just to see her
sway, just to see all ofthose things was a positive life for me,
(28:04):
even though knowing what I just wentthrough for that past thirty minutes and
the breakdown. But that breakdown wasgiving myself permission to have self compassion for
myself, to understand that you areallowed to do that. You don't have
to be that strong, strong allthe time. For me, that's positive
(28:26):
for me because I wouldn't been ableto do I'll still be with a strong,
still face, walking around here,strong, just hurting the hall within.
And so this Self Love the Seasonof Self Love podcast, My listeners,
you are part of my purpose.My purpose has been a positivity for
(28:48):
me. My healing has been apositivity for me and my mom going through
this, this Alzheimer's, living withit, I'm living through it has been
a positivity for me. So forme, these are reminders that you have
to look for that light. Forme, light is positivity. I have
(29:15):
to look for that light in everythingthat I do. I'm sorry, y'all,
but I have to things that arehappening in my life that don't think
I have to figure out what isthat light, what is the positive aspect
of that I need to take fromthere? And this goes back into talking
(29:40):
about us overcoming things or the lessonsthat we learn from situations in our life,
from past experience, from things thatare now and living in a moment
right now. It also taught meabout living in the moment, being mindful.
(30:07):
That's one of the layers cultivating positivity. Having empathy for others, an
act of kindness. So even thoughthat moment was I was still able to
(30:30):
