Unleashing Your Potential as a Woman

As women, we often wear many hats. We juggle careers, families, and personal aspirations, all while striving for success in every aspect of our lives. But what if I told you there's one simple shortcut that can unlock a higher level of success in all areas of your life?
 
It's a concept I learned from my favorite author, Jack Canfield. It's all about taking 100% responsibility for your life.
 
Before we dive in, let's ask ourselves a crucial question: Who is the most important person in your life?
 
The answer is simple: YOU.
 
Your self-perception, your understanding of who you are and what you truly desire, has a profound impact on your success. It shapes your relationships, your career, your finances, and ultimately, your overall happiness.
 
So, how can you cultivate a stronger relationship with yourself, boost your confidence, and gain clarity on your potential? The answer lies in taking ownership.

Stop blaming your boss, your spouse, the economy, or any external factor for holding you back. It's time to take ownership of your life.
 
You are the architect of your destiny. Only you have the power to create the life you desire.
 
The sooner you realize this, the sooner you can start making positive changes.
 
Ready to Take Control?
 
Here's a simple exercise to help you embrace this principle:
 
1. Identify Your Blames: In the next 24 hours, write down a list of all the people and things you've blamed for holding you back. Be honest and thorough. Include everyone and everything, from your parents to the economy to that high school teacher who made you feel inadequate.

2. Release the Blame: Once you've completed your list, destroy it. Tear it up, shred it, burn it, or toss it in the recycling bin. This symbolic act represents letting go of the power those blames have over you.
 
By releasing blame, you open the door to taking back control of your life and creating the positive changes you desire.
 
This is the first step towards unlocking a higher level of success in all areas of your life.
 
Are you ready to take 100% responsibility with me?
 
Join me in this experiment. Let's empower ourselves to create the lives we truly want!

Let's build a community of empowered women! Follow me on LinkedIn to connect, share, and support each other on this journey of self-discovery.

A Higher Joy

Image
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk "A Higher Joy" resonated deeply with me during our recent Relief Society lesson at Riverbend Ward, Bow River Stake. The talk's message about actively seeking joy, even amidst challenges, was already powerful. But our teacher, Pam Merrell, took the lesson to a whole new level with a simple but profound activity.   She asked us to write down the name of the first person who came to mind. Then, she asked us to write down the words we wanted to tell that person, reminding us to listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost as we wrote. As I sat there, the thought of reaching out to someone, expressing my feelings, filled me with excitement. As I began to write, a sense of peace settled over me. The words flowed effortlessly, guided by a gentle, inner voice.   It was a simple exercise, but it carried a weight that I'm still processing. That activity, combined with Elder Uchtdorf's message, was a powerful reminder for me. Her

Responding to the Savior's Invitation: Arise and Come Forth

Image
This morning, during my scripture study, I had a profound experience where I felt the Savior Himself reaching out to me, inviting me to " arise and come forth unto" Him. It was as if a veil was lifted, and I could sense His presence more clearly than ever before. This invitation prompted me to delve deeper into understanding how He invites us to come closer to Him. As I continue to ponder and study, here are some ways the Savior invites us to "arise and come forth unto" Him: Through Repentance and a Change of Heart   The Savior's visit to the Nephites was preceded by a period of great darkness and destruction. He taught them that their suffering was a consequence of their wickedness and invited them to repent and turn to Him. This principle holds true for us today. Repentance is not simply about acknowledging our mistakes but about actively seeking change and aligning our lives with God's will. By turning away from sin and living righ

100 Sabbath Day Activity Ideas

Image
Due to the developing concerns over the spread of the coronavirus, gatherings of church members were temporarily suspended worldwide and leaders asked members to hold Sunday meetings in their homes. We know that the Sabbath is a special day and we want it to be a spiritual day amidst these trying times. We know we will reap blessings of stronger family relationships, kinder communication, spiritual depth, and more family fun. Our family has carefully gathered the following activity ideas after the Sunday service at home: 1. Make a family storybook: Everyone picks a memory, draws their version of it, and writes a short summary about it. Share your memories with each other. 2. Create a family mailbox to keep inside your home that you fill with sweet letters to each other. 3. Make a wall of favorite quotes from the general conference and leave it up for 6 months until the next conference. 4. Book of Mormon Puzzle: Draw your favorite scene or character from th

Reflections on Love, Faith, and Marriage

Image
Reflecting on my marriage with Anatolin on the morning of September 26th, 2024, I felt prompted to share the thoughts and feelings I had written in my personal journal, feeling the crisp autumn air, drifted through the open window, a comforting reminder of the season's change. In the suburbs of La Union, surrounded by the whispers of faith, my beloved Anatolin and I began a timeless journey together. Our love story, rooted in the tender soil of teenage friendship, blossomed into a marriage sanctified by our shared faith as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Standing by Anatolin's side on our wedding day in 2005 at the Manila Philippines Temple , with our families surrounding us, I felt profound gratitude for the love that had brought us together. We solemnly entered into sacred covenants with Heavenly Father and each other, committing to uphold fidelity, live in a Christlike manner, honor all gospel commitments, and fulfill th

Our Love Story

Image
Let me share how our paths crossed, how our relationship blossomed over the years, and how our commitment to each other and our shared faith in   The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints   have been foundational in our journey together. Anatolin and I were both raised by our goodly parents. I was born in San Jose Del Monte Bulacan on February 21, 1982. When I was two years old, our family moved to Bauang, La Union, where we met Sister Lumacad and Sister Mcnutt, missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our family accepted the gospel on June 10, 1984 and was sealed at the Manila Philippines Temple on February 1, 1986, two years after it's dedication.  Anatolin was born in San Jose Agoo, La Union on June 25, 1982. Their whole family was baptized in the church in May 1988.  Anatolin said he first saw me when we were twelve years old at a Regional Conference where an apostle of the Lord, Elder Quentin L. Cook, presided over the San Fernando La Un

Why Sudoku is More Than Just a Game

Image
We live in a world awash with distractions. Our attention is constantly being pulled in a million different directions, making it harder than ever to find moments of quiet focus. But amidst the chaos, there's a simple, yet powerful tool that can help us sharpen our minds and find a sense of calm: Sudoku.  Often dismissed as a mere brain teaser, Sudoku offers a surprising array of benefits that extend far beyond entertainment.  Here's why you should consider incorporating this puzzle into your daily routine:   1.   A Brain Boost :   Sudoku is a mental workout, a gym for your cognitive abilities.  It challenges your problem-solving skills, logic, and spatial reasoning.  By working through the grid, you're essentially training your brain to think critically and make connections.  Studies have shown that regular Sudoku play can improve memory, concentration, and overall cognitive function, even delaying age-related cognitive decline.   2.  Stress Relief :   In a wor

BYU-I Fall 2021

We are looking forward to starting and completing our chosen course this fall semester. Child Development course is a theoretical, academically oriented course focusing on the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of the child from conception through adolescence. As parents ourselves and assisting and giving support to other children, we are excited to learn and  explore the influences of family, peers, and social institutions on the child's development.  We know that connecting the dots between what we learn and what we do takes creativity and even stepping outside our comfort zone.Our most favorite part is searching for daily opportunities at home and at work to apply what we learn.
