Past Me | Hiding behind things to cover up...

[@je39981]

Wonderful video... definitely learned a lot from this and did a mental self-reflection in the moment. The past me was very insecure, loved to compare herself to others, and wanted to seek validation from others. As I dig deeper and God revealed to me my purpose in this life I saw that I did not love myself.

Thank you❤️I tooootally totally connect as you see/hear. The great thing though is the mental self-reflection and digging deeper while going to God. Our purpose is so much bigger than us and often whatever we're feeling or felt so many others feel that way. Once we become stronger and learn ways to be better we can help other people do the same. It's difficult when all you see is people who seem to have everything figured out and are so secure but truthfully everyone has something they dislike or wish to change so it's no point in comparing. (I say this now as I'm still working on this) How do you feel you're coming along now that you're digging deeper and after figuring out your purpose?!

Ahhh i'm so sad because I replied to your comment with a good question and response but somehow it didn't send smh. Anywho!! 👏🏾ALL OF THIS!!!! I told you in another comment before but I'm saying it again--you are amazing!! I always end up either learning something from you or feeling inspired. How has the transition been for you as far as becoming health conscious? My goal is to be dairy-free but it's been such a struggle. Keep shining ✨✨✨✨✨and living your best life all day everyday!!! 💥💥

@@RandomlyOniC My journey to a healthy lifestyle has been challenging, but I am motivated by the results I have seen- lower blood pressure and a loss of weight. I am doing this journey in honor of my mom who passed away from high blood pressure at the age of 52. I want to live twice her age. I am kicking high blood pressure butt! There are some of the tips that which have made my journey easier: 1. I am never hard on myself- I see this journey as a lifestyle. I do not diet- I just do everything in moderation. 2. I practice meal prep. I take one day during the week and prep all my meals for one week. Meal prepping helps you to have healthy food at your disposable. 3. I surround myself with positive people who are on the healthy lifestyle journey. My grandma used to say "show me your friends and I will tell you who you are." 4. I watch how many calories I take in. Most people do not read the labels behind food packages- you have to count the calories to stay healthy. 5. I sneek my veggies and fruits into my meals. I find it hard to eat vegetable by itself; so I add it to all the meals I make. For example a big pot of vegetable soup or I would bake carrots bread without sugar. I also use honey when baking. 6. Prayers- It took a lot of prayers for me to walk pass the ice cream freezer aisle while shopping today.🤣🤣 STAYING HEALTHY IS A LIFESTYLE. IF YOU FALL OFF THE WAGON ONE DAY; DON'T GIVE UP; GET RIGHT BACK ON THE WAGON THE NEXT DAY AND ENJOY THE RIDE ON THIS JOURNEY TO LONG LIFE AND SUCCESS.

hi Oni 👋 just watched your video , I always watch your videos when I need them positive vibrations ✨ I like when you said you want to teach your daughter to not seek validation and to be confident. That is VERY important and will make such a big difference in everything she does if she has confidence in herself. It was so hard going thru adolescence without a backbone and I look back at pictures , and don't understand why I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin. Now I'm a mommy as well and can relate to you wanting to teach that value to your daughter who will look up to you 👌 I believe believe confidence in a girl begins with the warmth of a mother's love. When that isn't there it just makes it 10 x harder for the girl unfortunately. Thanks for being you and sharing with us your feeling and views on things. have a great week ☺️

Claudia!! 👋🏾Ahhhh i'm so happy to know my videos really help bring those positive vibrations 🙌🏾That's the goal! I really appreciate you commenting too❤️ Yes yes yes. I always say parents do the best they can and do what they know or feel is best but I do wish I had that push or emphasis placed on confidence and not needing approval from others from my Mom. You just opened my eyes honestly and in reading your message I'm able to be honest with myself more. I didn't have a backbone either. Everything got to me in some way and I cried soooo much but at some point it just became exhausting. I love love love the way you put this, "confidence in a girl begins with the warmth of a mother's love". So so true. Our children need us to pour positivity into them so one day they will be able to fill themselves up with positivity and not feel as if someone else has to do it. I could go on and on lol You have a great week too and give your baby or babies love from me their virtual auntie 😉💖

Wow!! The title really caught my attention. So I stop what I was doing to watch. I'm glade I did. This video represents the beginning of "Keeping It Real or Keeping it 100". Everyone should have ladies night. That right, ladies night. Invite all your girlfriends over, pour a glass of wine and watch this video. Oni, you have the best videos, keep them coming.🍎🍎
