Can Afformations® Really Transform Your Life? Unveiling the Miracle of Positive Self-Talk! If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, limiting beliefs, or negative self-talk, then Afformations®: The Miracle of Positive Self-Talk by Noah St. John is a must-read. This book is not just another self-help manual—it’s a revolutionary approach to rewiring your mindset for success, happiness, and personal transformation. What Are Afformations®? Unlike traditional affirmations that encourage you to state positive declarations (like I am confident or I am successful), Afformations® work on a deeper psychological level by turning these statements into questions. Instead of saying, I am wealthy, you ask yourself, Why am I so wealthy? The brilliance of this method is that your brain naturally seeks answers to questions. By asking empowering questions, you start rewiring your subconscious mind to focus on solutions rather than doubts. My Experience with Afformations® I absolutely loved this book because it goes beyond motivation—it provides a practical, science-backed strategy for real change. I’ve read countless self-development books, but Afformations® stood out because it wasn’t about forcing myself to believe something that felt untrue. Instead, it helped me gently shift my thought patterns in a way that felt natural and effortless. After implementing Afformations®, I noticed an incredible difference in my mindset. Here’s what changed for me: Why Afformations® Work Noah St. John explains the science behind this method beautifully. The subconscious mind is like a search engine; when you input a question, it seeks answers. When you ask empowering questions, your brain starts scanning your environment for evidence that supports them. This leads to a positive feedback loop of confidence, motivation,…

Fairy Tales Are Cute, But Real Queens Fight for Rights

amyhoney October 23, 2024 October 20, 2024MEME's

Fairy tales have painted us a picture of queens in elegant gowns, sitting gracefully on their thrones, or waiting for their prince to come and save the day. But the reality of what it means to be a “queen” in today’s world is far from the dainty stories we grew up with. In fact, real queens are not waiting to be saved—they are leading movements, breaking barriers, and fighting for their rights and the rights of others. Shifting the Narrative: From Fairy Tales to Reality Fairy tales often present an idealized version of womanhood—passive, quiet, and waiting for things to happen. This portrayal, while cute in a storybook, doesn’t reflect the power and resilience of women in real life. True queens are not defined by crowns and castles; they are defined by their courage to stand up, speak out, and challenge the status quo. Throughout history, and even now, we’ve seen women breaking chains, shattering glass ceilings, and standing in solidarity for change. Real queens are the advocates, the leaders, and the ones who push against limitations placed on them. They’re rewriting what it means to be a queen—not in the sense of royalty but in the sense of resilience, leadership, and empowerment. Fighting for Rights: The True Mark of a Queen What does it mean to fight for your rights? It means not settling for less than you deserve. It means raising your voice even when society tells you to stay quiet. It means facing opposition and still standing…

The Power of Letting Go: Why Silence and Inaction Are Your Greatest Tools

amyhoney October 19, 2024 October 19, 2024MEME's

We live in a world that often glorifies confrontation and reaction. We’re taught that power comes from speaking up, fighting back, and taking immediate action. But sometimes, the strongest response is no response at all. It’s choosing to starve the things that no longer serve you. This idea is not about passivity or avoidance—it’s about the deliberate and intentional choice to protect your peace. The Energy Cost of Reaction Everything we engage with consumes our energy—whether it’s an argument with a friend, defending yourself from a critic, or holding onto something painful from the past. Often, we think by responding or reacting, we are protecting ourselves or addressing the situation. But in reality, our energy is a finite resource, and not every battle is worth the drain it causes. When we feed negativity, drama, or situations beyond our control, we give away our power to external forces. We essentially allow those things to dictate our emotions, our actions, and our mental state. But here’s the shift: what if you chose not to respond? Not to give these things your attention or energy? Starving What Doesn’t Serve You The idea of “starving” something means withdrawing the energy and attention that keeps it alive. Imagine the negativity or conflict as a fire—by constantly fueling it with responses, arguments, or attention, we allow it to grow and consume more of our peace. But when we withdraw that fuel, the fire dies down on its own. It loses its power over us. Choosing not…

Sherri Lynn: The most profound teachers often aren’t human. Meet the furred, finned, and feathered heroes who changed one life forever

Liz Rubico October 17, 2024 October 16, 2024Meet The Authors

The Most Profound Teachers Often Aren’t Human. Meet the Furred, Finned, and Feathered Heroes Who Changed One Life Forever The greatest lessons in life don’t always come from people. Sometimes, they show up in the form of wagging tails, fluttering wings, or gliding fins. Animals have this amazing way of teaching us things we never knew we needed—things like patience, unconditional love, and how to live fully in the moment. Sherri Lynn, author of All My Heroes Have Fur, Fins & Feathers: An Animal Communicator’s Healing Journey of Awakening, shares how animals became her most unexpected but profound teachers, guiding her through life’s challenges and helping her discover healing, joy, and deeper self-awareness. Every animal in her life had something unique to teach. A once-abandoned dog showed her the power of forgiveness and how trust can be rebuilt, no matter the past. A fiercely independent cat taught her to set boundaries while still holding space for love. There was even a wild bird that appeared in a moment of personal darkness, reminding her that sometimes we need to let go and embrace freedom. And let’s not forget the ocean creatures—dolphins and fish—who revealed the importance of play, intuition, and simply being. The beautiful thing is, animals don’t teach through lectures or long conversations. Their lessons come through their presence, their behavior, and how they live in each moment. A dog’s joy when chasing a ball or a bird’s morning song reminds us to find happiness in the little things. They…

G. Brian Benson: Success isn’t about luck—it’s about the habits you build every single day. What’s in your daily routine?

Liz Rubico October 16, 2024 October 16, 2024Meet The Authors

Success Isn’t About Luck—It’s About the Habits You Build Every Single Day. What’s in Your Daily Routine? Let’s be real—success isn’t some magical event or a stroke of luck. Sure, luck might give you a boost every now and then, but it’s not what keeps the ball rolling. What really matters are the habits you build, one day at a time. These small, everyday actions shape your future, whether you realize it or not. So, let me ask—what’s in your daily routine? Are the things you do each day helping you grow? Or are you stuck in patterns that might be holding you back? Think about it: the way you start your morning, handle tasks throughout the day, or wind down at night—it all adds up. Waking up early, planning your goals, working out, journaling, or even just taking a few minutes to be grateful are some habits that successful people swear by. It’s not because those things immediately make you successful, but because they build momentum over time. The cool thing about habits is that they’re like casting votes for the person you want to become. Each time you read a few pages of a book, exercise, or follow through on a goal, you’re saying, “This is who I am.” And, over time, those small wins add up. On the flip side, the same goes for bad habits. If procrastination, mindless scrolling, or disorganization creep into your routine, those little things can pile up, too—and not in a good…

Kent Sanders: A Father’s Legacy in 18 Words: Discover the Values That Lead to a Life Well-Lived

Liz Rubico September 26, 2024 September 24, 2024Meet The Authors

It might be difficult to determine what really important in a world where noise is all around us. However, often the most valuable teachings are the most basic, handed down through the centuries. In his book 18 Words to Live By: A Father’s Wisdom on What Matters Most, Kent Sanders condenses ageless principles into just 18 words, each of which contains a nugget of knowledge that makes life more meaningful. Think of having a set of eighteen straightforward terms that could help you go through the highs and lows of life. These aren’t just any old words; they stand for principles that Kent inherited from his father, principles that are firmly based on integrity, compassion, love, and tenacity. Each word is a reminder of what’s truly important—principles that help us stay grounded, no matter how crazy life gets. What’s beautiful about these 18 words is how straightforward they are. Life often feels complicated, but Kent’s father knew that true success doesn’t come from chasing after the latest trends or stressing over things that don’t last. Instead, it comes from living with integrity, treating others with respect, and holding onto the values that never go out of style. These words encourage you to pause and reflect, to ask yourself: Am I living in a way that honors these timeless values? The real magic is that these 18 words aren’t just for fathers to pass down to their children. They’re universal. They’re for anyone who wants to find clarity, focus, and a…

Liz Rubico September 25, 2024 September 24, 2024Meet The Authors

Don’t Just Survive—Thrive! Here’s How to Create a Life of Predictable Success Using What You Already Have! Let’s face it—we’re all busy just trying to keep up with life’s demands. Whether it’s balancing work, relationships, or personal growth, it can often feel like we’re just surviving, not really thriving. But what if I told you that you already have everything you need to create predictable success in your life? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, Chad Hyams, author of Achieve your Apex: How to Maximize Your Strengths, Create Predictable Results, and Thrive in Every Facet of Your Life, shows us that it’s entirely possible. The truth is, most of us spend way too much time focusing on what we can’t do—our weaknesses. We’re constantly trying to fix things we’re not good at or become someone we think we need to be. But the real magic happens when you start focusing on what you’re already great at! When you lean into your natural strengths, things begin to click. That’s when you shift from just surviving to truly thriving. Chad Hyams explains that success doesn’t have to be a mystery or something that happens by chance.

Imagine that—having a system in place that consistently works because it’s built around what makes you uniquely talented. Whether it’s in your career, relationships, or your overall well-being, you can create habits and routines that align with your strengths and make success feel…

Kenyon Glover: A man broken by the world, reborn through faith—this is the story of rising stronger, more focused than ever

Liz Rubico September 17, 2024 September 14, 2024Meet The Authors

In The Rebirth & Resurrection of a New Man: Faithful and Focused, Kenyon Glover shares a raw and inspiring story about a man who hit rock bottom but found a way to rebuild himself through faith and determination. This isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about completely transforming into someone stronger and more focused. At his lowest, this man felt like life had stripped everything away from him. He was dealing with loss, failure, and hardships that made it seem like there was no hope. But in the middle of all that pain, he turned to his faith. His connection with God gave him the strength he needed to not just survive, but to start over in a whole new way. This is where the true rebirth begins. Glover shows how faith can be the light that pulls you out of the darkest times. But it’s not just about belief—this man made a choice to get focused and live with more intention. He took control of his life, making every decision with purpose and refusing to let the things that used to distract him knock him off course. With faith, he found his strength. With focus, he stayed on track, no longer letting the past or outside noise hold him back. Glover’s message is simple and relatable: if you want to truly change, you need both faith and focus to make it happen. The Rebirth & Resurrection of a New Man: Faithful and Focused isn’t just a story of one guy…
