Diamonique In The Rough

Family is very important. There needs to be unconditional love, unity, and dedicated support. Make sure you are taking the time to let your loved ones know how much they mean to you.

Real friends are hard to come by. In all of relationships we want to always make sure we are giving 100%.

Respect goes a long way. It is the minimum, and it is to be demanded always. No matter the status or differences we should always make it a priority to respect one another. It starts within. Respect yourself, and others shall follow.

Mind yo business fam! Although I love to joke, when it comes to your business it’s no laughing matter.

FEAR is the biggest bully I've ever known. He walks into our life and tells us what we can't do, and most of the time we believe him. It is time for a change. Take a moment to identify what you are actually afraid of, and go to work on yourself. You will be surprised some of our reasons we subconsciously have that has nothing to do with our process. Be confident in yourself. You are capable of anything you put your mind to. Failure is when you don't try. Undesired results are only used for directing our future improvements. Love on yourself more, and let your fears free.

The importance of Mental health is so underrated! I can’t stress enough how we need to pay more attention to the mind. Whether it’s everyday life or some specific issues, don’t hesitate to seek help. Having a therapist is one efficient way to remain mentally healthy. If you or your loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors please call 800-273-8255. Take a moment and assess your mental health. You can save your life and others. I love you. Stay Well.

Healing. It is so necessary to heal from everything you have been through. Whether it’s an illness, injury, grief, or a broken heart, you have to consider some rehabilitation. It isn’t healthy to go through life not acknowledging the traumatic effects of unfortunate experiences.There is beauty on the other side of healing. You earn your stripes of wisdom and strength. Most of all, you should be grateful that you are still able to stand. Trust your process.

Grieving is an unfortunate process we all face at some point in life. We have to be able to allow ourselves to go through every stage in order to heal properly.  Death is for the living. It teaches us to be grateful, change our behavior, and live more purposefully. Life is short, be determined to enjoy it.

Now Hiring. Oh how luring. We try to to present the best version of ourselves when it comes to employment. The same should apply for relationships. It is indeed work if you want a successful relationship. Taking the extra time to understand how your partner perceives love can eliminate a great deal of unnecessary confusion. Identify your needs and wants and commit to each other. It is not easy, but it doesn’t have to be hard. Anything worth having is worth working for. Let’s go to work for love ❤️.

Gratitude is a must! With everything going on in the world we have to understand the importance of taking a moment and saying thank you to our creator. There are good days and bad days, but each day is a blessing in itself. Gratitude can mean more than just saying thankful, we can model it in our behaviors and lifestyle. When ever you feel the going is getting tough, always remember it can be worse. Accept the good, bad, and the ugly, and find happiness in every moment.

Are you tired of the same ole same ole? Do you dream of what you want your life to look like? Of course you do. Manifest what it is you want. Speak it into existence. Believe you are worthy of deserving blessings. Make sure you position yourself to be able to receive what you want so badly. There is great power in the tongue. It is a must we know how to attract, and maintain the life that we are destined to live.

G. O. A. L. S. What does that mean to us? Go! Be optimistic. Allow change. Live in the meantime. Success is your story. This acronym means more than a nice caption on the hottest photo. It takes work and an open mind to complete any task. With the right amount of faith, confidence, and drive, you can do anything. Only if you believe, though!

Sacrifice is necessary if you want to obtain anything worth having. During the waiting period we sometimes get so overwhelmed that we want to give up. Don’t do it! In order to reach new levels in life you will need to do something new. Stay focused on the finish line and remember why you started. Always begin with the end in mind.

Do you like the smell of trash? I didn’t think so. Sometimes our lives are filled with things we can dispose of, even people too. Don’t hesitate to let go of what no longer serves you. There is a certain peace you obtain when there is no clutter. Clean up your environment, there are new blessings awaiting you.

To be insecure or not. For various reasons we tend to feel insecure and it gets us down. It is definitely not a healthy space to live your life. When feeling not so secure, we may need to step back and have a chat with self. Yes, talk yourself out of it. Reassess what and who strikes this emotion, and then Ctrl, Alt, Delete!

Uh Uhm. Mic check one two one two. Is this thing on? Many times in life, people and situations make us feel like we have no voice. The time is up for keeping the silence. Everyone deserves the right to express themselves freely and confidently. Speaking up is a very important component of freedom. Say what’s on your mind, unapologetically. Remember you are special and deserve to be heard.

When it comes to dating we all have our needs and wants. Some of us are more vocal than others, and some of us are just plain ole tired of explaining ourselves. Strawberrijelly thinks it safe to say every woman can agree she wants a mature man who doesn’t play any games and who is up for the task of being an ideal partner. If you didn’t know, now you know!

What does it mean to be Black and Beautiful? It means embracing every little unique detail about yourself. From your ebony skin to your locs of curls. For many years the black woman has been underrated, unprotected, and unheard. It’s time for a change! Let your fellow Sistah know how beautiful she is, and you have her back. Hesitation stops now, we are being who we are unapologetically.

In today’s society  we are too familiar with the term “selfie”.  Whether it is off guard or on purpose, we tend to put in a lot of time to get the best shot. The same should apply when it comes to self care! We must be determined to take time for ourselves and nurture our mental. Every once in a while we all need to reset, relax, and retreat.
