Qoutes By Black Woman

To Help Jumpstart Your goals

ByJouviane Alexandre

Focusing on our goals and resolutions for the New Year can sometimes be difficult. For the first few days or weeks, we’re focused and strong, but as the days go on, our resolve starts to diminish. Often times, all we need is a little boost from a courageous and intelligent person.

Wo Ru wa wh Su be did los

BINDING SIDE

With these quotes, all you need to do is hang them somewhere you can see them. Repeat them and turn them into a mantra. Speaking something into existence works, and just believing in it is the first step.

“I used to want the words ‘She tried’ on my tombstone. Now I want ‘She did it’.” –

Katherine Dunham

Trying is the first step to succeeding at anything.

Katherine Durham was aware of this until she decided that there was something infinitely better than trying – succeeding. When you set your sights on a goal, you may not accomplish them the first, second, or even tenth time. The point is to keep going until you do.

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.” –

Maya Angelou Your dreams and plans might seem farfetched to others, but remember to have the courage to continue. It is easy for others to speak down on your ideas, and it’s even easier to believe them. Have the courage to ignore them. Have the courage to persevere. By staying firm in the beliefs of your ideas and yourself, you are setting yourself up for the greatest success.

“Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.” –

Wilma Rudolph

BINDING SIDE

Working perfectly with the above quote, Wilma Rudolph definitely knew how to lose since she was a professional runner. She definitely “did it” when she won three gold medals at the 1960 Summer Olympics, but she also had many losses before then. Losing didn’t make her quit. Losing didn’t make her give up her craft. She took her losses and turned herself in a gold medalist.

Take your losses and learn from them. Allow them to shape you into a better person and use them as the backbone for the success you find.

“It’s a long old road, but I know I’m gonna find the end.” –

Bessi Smith

“Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.” –

Oprah Winfrey Oprah Winfrey is possibly the most successful black woman in the world and one of the most successful people, in general. You might find yourself procrastinating and putting off things that will add to your success. DON’T. In the words of Oprah, do your best at this moment and every moment because it is setting you up for the next moment.

DIGITAL PROOF

The journey to any goal is a long one, and sometimes you might feel the need to drop all your things and turn back. Success isn’t a one shot deal and you’re done. It’s a winding road with many obstacles in the way. Persevere and be courageous. Continue along the road because eventually it ends and nothing will beat the feeling you get once you get there.

As we charge head first into 2017, our goals are some of the biggest things on our mind in these first few months. Stay strong in your goals and keep going until you accomplish them!

to think about the differences between your face and body.

The skin of our bodies can withstand more than our faces, so it makes sense that you can use harsher beads along your arms, legs, and torso.

lthough winter started a few short weeks ago, the colder weather has long since arrived and won’t be disappearing any time soon.

While it’s easy for our skin to glow in the warmer months, we have to take extra precautions to keep the same for the winter.

While exfoliators work to remove dead skin and leave your skin with a brighter appearance, they also help your next product seep deeper into your skin which brings us to our next tip – moisturize.

BINDING SIDE

Keeping your skin beautiful and glowing during the winter months can be difficult, but it will be infinitely easier if you follow these tips! // Say No To Hot Showers One thing many of us relish in the colder months is taking hot showers. We quickly run inside from the blistering cold and hope to find warmth and comfort underneath a steaming shower rod. Although this may feel nice, you’re doing damage to your skin! The hot water and steam might be soothing your cold and stiff joints, but it’s also drying out your skin.

// Moisturize Definitely the most important step to keep your skin glowing, you can’t succeed without a moisturizer! After you’ve showered and exfoliated, although your skin is healthy and brighter, it hasn’t achieved its full glow. The truth is you won’t be able to survive the winter without a moisturizer. As warm as your showers are and When you decide to take a bath or shower, use as often as you exfoliate, the cold weather will warm water. The temperature will still work to naturally suck all the moisture from your skin! soothe your freezing muscles and skin without

If you can’t completely ditch your hot showers, start off with your desired temperature and gradually decrease the hot water until it’s comfortable.

In the summer, you might be prone to using lighter lotions and creams to prevent from sweating. During the winter you should use a thick and heavy moisturizer that will be sure to return all the moisture you might’ve lost while showering, exfoliating, or just being outside.

It’s easy for our melanin to pop and glow in the summer with the sun shining down on us, but you can still achieve that glow as we trudge our way through the winter months. With these three tips, your skin will have everyone thinking you just came from a tropical paradise! www.izzyandliv.com

We’re fresh off some rest and relaxation and full of energy to chase those goals. It’s great to hit the ground running for the new year, but it’s equally important to make sure you’re balancing out that hustle and grind with some self-care.

Here are five apps to download that can help you slow down and put your wellness as a priority in the new year and beyond.

message any time of the day for a small fee. Here you can get all of your questions answered, and feel like you have someone on your side every step of the way. This is a great alternative to therapy because it gives you instant feedback, and is significantly more affordable than an office visit.

HAPPIFY

HEADSPPACE Not every situation calls for talking it out, sometimes the remedy to your frazzled mind is just some quiet time to yourself. This is where the Headspace App comes in. This is an

app

that guides you through a ten minute meditation.

Try using it in the morning or whenever you’re stressed out at work. You can find this app in the App Store, and don’t worry, it’s free.

This free app is the one to try if you’re focused on

health.

Too often, our minds are focused on surviving instead of thriving, and when we finally get a moment to pause we’re often left wondering… are we even happy? With Happify you select the emotional area that you want to improve and get personalized expertise, tools, and guidance to help you along your way.

YOGA WAKEUP If you’re one of those people who wakes up and is immediately filled with dread at your never-ending to do list and all the things on your plate, starting your morning with a gentle exercise may be exactly what you need to put your mind and body at ease. Yoga Wake Up is a free app that provides a quick 10-minute yoga routine combining easy positions and guided meditations. Open this app instead of hitting the snooze button and watch your mindset shift as you approach your day.

7 CUPS OF TEA This website is very similar to Talkspace, but is more for a person who wants a conversation instead of an ongoing thing. You can log on any time of the day and be connected to a trained individual who fits your needs. They even have support groups where you can talk about similar issues like grief, bereavement, eating disorders, and many other topics. This is a great option for those nights when something is bothering you and you just need to talk to someone.
