Conversation 7: Discipline is a Friend, Even when it Feels like the Enemy. 😏

 Heyyy, my beautiful Blossomers!!!
💋❤️

Before we dive deep into today’s “aha” moment, let me sprinkle some love your way. Be sure to check out my other blog Relationship Advice No One Asked—I mean, you’re already here for the real talk, so you might as well keep the vibe going. You never know what gems you’ll find over there. Here’s the link: https://relationshipadvicenobodyasked.blogspot.com Thank you for always showing up and showing love. Now… let’s get into this truthful and eye-opening conversation!

🌱 Why Are We Playing Small When We Were Born to Bloom?

Let’s get all the way real today. No holding back, no more fear!

We talk about wanting more out of life—more peace, more money, healthier love, spiritual alignment, soft mornings, clean homes that smell like eucalyptus and ambition—but then boom, here we are, binge-watching our 3rd reality show with a cold slice of pizza talkin’ about “I’ll start Monday.” Sound familiar? 👀

Sis, our comfort zone is snatching our edges and our blessings. We say we want to level up, but truthfully… are we really nurturing the garden we say we want to see flourish? Or are we just watching other folks bloom on social media while we’re stuck in our “maybe later” era?

Let me whisper this with love—your comfort zone is a trap in heels. Cute, but not built for the journey.

🌸 Growth Ain’t Glamorous, But It’s Worth It

Growth doesn’t come gift-wrapped with candles and crystals. It shows up in messy mornings, tough convos, and that annoying self-awareness that keeps popping up like, “Hey girl… maybe we shouldn’t text him back again?” 🙃

We crave change, but we fear the in-between. Why? Because we think change means losing ourselves, when in reality, it’s about returning to who we were always meant to be—bold, healed, wealthy in spirit and bank account.

Let’s stop romanticizing the final result and start honoring the gritty, hilarious, sometimes chaotic middle. Growth looks like wearing your bonnet while journaling about your boundaries. It’s crying in the shower on Tuesday, then laughing your butt off with your girls on Wednesday. It’s both.

💅🏾 Real Talk: Discipline Ain’t Sexy, But Baby, It’s Required

Let’s not sugarcoat it—discipline is not fun. But neither is being stuck.

We can’t microwave growth and expect gourmet results. If we’re going to step into our rich auntie, spiritually aligned, “she really got her life together” era, we have to build non-negotiables. That means waking up with intention, saying no when it’s necessary, and knowing that skipping one day doesn’t mean giving up the whole journey.

Personally, I’m that girl who says she’s going to start a new morning routine… then hits snooze six times and negotiates with the Lord like, “Just one more day, I promise.” 😩 But I’ve learned to start where I am. One small choice at a time.

😂 The Messy, Funny Side of Leveling Up

Listen, this glow-up life isn’t always cute.

You ever try to eat clean and then someone offers you fries, and suddenly your inner self-care queen is on do not disturb? Or plan to meditate but end up meditating on that one text he didn’t reply to? Yeah. We’ve all been there.

But the beauty is in the bounce-back. Laugh at your missteps, share them, love yourself anyway. You’re not failing—you’re becoming.

💖 Keep the Joy, Keep the Faith, Keep It Moving

Every win counts. Made your bed today? Win. Didn’t respond to a toxic text? Big win. Drank water instead of soda? You’re practically glowing already. These small moments create momentum.

And guess what? You don’t have to do this alone. Surround yourself with people who remind you of who you are when you forget. Let your circle reflect your future, not your fears.

🌺 Final Thoughts: Don’t Just Bloom. Blossom Boldly.

You weren’t put here to dim your light, shrink your voice, or water down your magic. God didn’t design you for average, baby—He designed you for overflow. So, take a deep breath, release the old, and walk into the new… even if your knees are shaking in heels.

We’re not chasing perfection—we’re embracing progress. One joyful, imperfect, but intentional step at a time.

Stay blossoming, stay bold, and remember—your glow-up is not up for debate.

In what other ways, can we reach our new life goals with optimal vision and the boldness that we are blessed with? Please add to the conversation and let’s cheer each other on!

 

With much love and lip gloss,
