Extraordinary Woman - Dining in Hell

-

 Hello Pretty Lady, 

Happy New Month and thank you for stopping by! Please may I ask that you pause and take a moment to follow me on Youtube, also on Facebook and Instagram? Thank you for doing so.

Today, we're exploring a crucial topic for women of purpose: recognizing and avoiding toxic relationships and experiences. The phrase 'Dining in Hell' or 'Dining with the Devil' takes on a new perspective when we consider the biblical description of the devil as a beautiful and charismatic being. This reminds us that danger often disguises itself as attractive and harmless. Many women unknowingly find themselves in harmful situations, blinded by the initial charm and appeal. To safeguard yourself, let's discuss key strategies for protection...Learn to Train and Trust Instincts;

  • Learn to listen to your instinct and truct it. If something feels off, it's okay to take a step back and reassess. Life is more spiritual than physical because the spiritual controls the physical.
Set Boundaries;
  • Learn to set healthy boundaries and communicate them clearly; this will help you stay accountable and true to yourself. Some people set the boundaries but do not communicate them. This will be likened to a worker with the tools required but not using them.
    • Be clear and direct
    • Use 'l' statement
    • Priorize selfcare
    • Practice assertive communication by saying 'NO' in a way that is clear, respectful, and free from defensiveness. 
Learn to Identify Red Flags;
  • Let's discuss common red flags that may indicate someone's intentions are not genuine, such as:
    • Inconsistencies in their words and actions
    • Disrespect or dismissiveness
    • Pushing for physical or emotional intimacy too quickly
    • Being overly critical or controlling
Be vigilant and take notice of these red flags.

Empower yourself to take control of your safety. If you're currently in a dangerous or unhealthy situation, stop and seek counseling immediately. You are worthy of protection and care.

Your purpose should be your daily focus and drive. Be intentional about the company you keep, and don't be fooled by those who disguise themselves as friends but may actually be hindering your progress.

Join me in sharing this important reminder with the women around you. Let's foster a community that values mutual support, safety, and security as we navigate life's journey together.

The Iceberg Model: A Systems Thinking Tool

-
Hello my Trendsetting Teens, Today, we want to use this model to explain Systems Thinking as a tool to solve problems and receive desired outcomes. Imagine an iceberg, where: Above the waterline (Visible): Events : The tip of the iceberg, representing individual incidents or symptoms (e.g., a conflict, a problem, or an issue). Below the waterline (Hidden): Patterns : The layer beneath events, revealing recurring themes, cycles, or relationships (e.g., communication breakdowns, power struggles). Structures : The underlying framework, including rules, roles, and processes that shape the system (e.g., organizational design, social norms). Mental Models : The deepest layer, comprising assumptions, beliefs, and values that influence our perceptions and actions (e.g., biases, worldviews). Systems Thinking Connection: Events are symptoms of underlying patterns, structures, and mental models. Addressing only events (the tip) won't solve the problem; we must explore and understand the hidde...
