Hey, Peeps! HEYYYYYYYY! Guess who’s BACK?
It’s been a LONG, LONNNNNG while. I thought I would drop a jewel on you all today to encourage and let you know you are not alone. I have been missing in action because I have been working HARD on my marching orders from ancestors. They DEMANDED that I do two things: control my finances and control my health.
No ifs. No ands. No buts. Nary a pause…that launches into a litany of excuses will be accepted!
For any of you who know me personally, you know that those two issues have been thorns in my side. My money…and my health. Mainly, because I have been putting off getting my shit together for forever. I always tell myself there will be another day, another month, another year to tackle this. “Oh! I’ll do it next year!” My procrastination stems from one concept that I have largely overcome, but still struggle with everyday. Fear of failure and fear of activating my greatness. Thank goodness those fears are fading more and more as the days progress. I’m being set up for the rest of my life and I cannot bring those things along with me.
My finances and my health have been in the toilet for the last three years. Finally, I got tired of the struggle, the stress, the judgement of others **who REALLY weren’t and aren’t honestly doing much better than I was/am**, the low-key shade, the backstabbing, the financial abuse, feeling that they could take advantage of what little resources I had because I was “doing bad” and all of the foolishness that abounded.
Well, guess what, bitches? I AIN’T doing bad anymore! Life is going quiet well for me and things are improving on the daily. I am still not finished with my journey and will continue to keep my head down and grind until I am where I want to be. I am getting so many blessings and surprises on the daily, it’s astounding. I am in awe. I thank God, my ancestors and my heavenly beings for protecting, guiding and blessing me. Everyday a new door is opening for me. This is the foundation. Next year is going to be ridiculously good on the professional front. As such, all of those who took advantage of me while I was dead ill, couldn’t work, couldn’t sustain myself and couldn’t do for myself? A pox on your HOUSE! All of those who felt as if I was supposed to be the punching bag because I wasn’t in a position to take care of myself well? Welp! You messed yourself up, my “G”! **shrug**
I am sending out this message for everyone who might be going through some of the same things I am going through on the two fronts of health and finances. I am no doctor. Nor am I a financial planner. Let me tell you, though. There are small changes you can make that can and will make a difference if you just implement them as quickly as possible and on a regular basis.
As it relates to finances, one of the things we have to focus on–which directly ties itself into my “First Law of Nature” platform is taking care of your credit and your financial health. Yeah, I know, the “gubment”…. right. “The SYSTEM!!!!” ummmm hmmm, yep! “Living off the grid”, and all that. Sure! Sounds great. However, you live on Earth and probably in the United States. As such, if you have a birth certificate, a social security card, use Google, have a job, have a car and have a state-issued ID you’re already in THE SYSTEM. That is not to say that you should be cool with the government overrunning your right to privacy and living in your business. However, as it relates to credit and finances, you can be aware of the tricks of the system, but still not have to live under a bypass and eat four leaf clovers for dinner because you’re bad with money and your credit sucks.
Do what you want to do! I’m just saying…. if you happen to be someone who wants to have a business someday, this will be critical for you. You will have to build an acceptable credit profile in order to be able to borrow to run your business in addition to pouring in capital from a percentage of your profit through re-investment. You don’t have to go crazy on the credit cards. Apply for one, spend off of it and pay it off in full if you can. The next month, rinse and repeat. Try to spend no more than 30% of the balance on the card. Then, pay that off! In five months or so, you’ll see that your credit profile is looking better and better. Guess what? You’ll have OPTIONS then. Options to do more things financially, get more competitive car loan interest rates, get more competitive interest rates on other credit cards, get more competitive mortgage rates. AGAIN. You don’t have to GO CRAZY. Just gradually build. When’s the last time you had a financial emergency and needed just $100-$200 to make everything right? THESE are the times when a $500 credit balance on a card you have been paying faithfully pays off. Family, we have GOT to get our finances together. When you are strong financially, you have options, you have room to move. If your back is against the wall, you have a plan of escape. You don’t have to simply stand there and take the punches. This is where I was. Ancestors will not tolerate me being subjected to that nor subjecting myself to that. I don’t want that for you either.
When it comes to your health, this one can be tricky also, but some of the same things apply. My health was horrible because I did a terrible job of drinking enough water. Also, I didn’t eat as often as I was supposed to and I continued to eat foods that made me feel horrible because they were foods I enjoyed. I love pizza sauce, cheese and orange juice. However, I am a bonafide sufferer of Acid Reflux Disease. Yeah….yeah…. I KNOW! With anything else, though, it’s a process to get to where you know you are supposed to be. It was also imperative for me to incorporate as many fruits and veggies into my diet. Working a lot and being on the run stands in the way of that sometimes! But doing an hour of meal prep on your day off helps a lot. I notice that I eat the MOST unhealthy foods when I am hungry because…. I didn’t plan ahead! I am a fast food fanatic. I know. “That’s not healthy!” But it’s one of my guilty pleasures. I only have two of them to speak of. What I learned is, however, I don’t have to give up fast food every once in a while. I just shouldn’t eat it three times a day for a week straight. Once again, moderation is the key. I AM not one that believes in starvation or barring myself from having certain foods. That’s a recipe for disaster! Further, I need to exercise more. I love to exercise. I love to run. I love to lift weights. Life had gotten me down so that I couldn’t do much. Keeping one’s stress level down is a wonderful way to preserve your health, also. Emotional homeostasis is the name of the game. You will see more about that term from me in the future. Basically, what it means is not putting your body through very drastic emotional swings all the time in going from being elated to being stressed to the max. It places a lot of pressure on the body that can manifest itself in different ways down the road. Sleep is also a huge deal. When I do readings, this is one of the things that ancestors will throw out there on someone in a heartbeat! That 4 of Swords! Whenever I see that card, I KNOW I am reading someone who is not getting enough rest. Having good sleep hygiene is important. A doctor once told me your bed is for sleeping and sex. Dassit! I was one of those people who had terrible sleep hygiene. I slept in the bed with both my laptops, my iPad, my iPhone, television remotes AND books. I was doing too much and my body suffered for it. I don’t do that very much anymore.
We are moving swiftly into the last quarter of the year. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. We have passed the mid-point of the year. What goals have you set for yourself this year? Are you like me in that you need to work on your finances and your health? What kind of help do you think you need? I’m no expert, but I can tell you what worked for me. I can also do a reading for you to determine what you should work on more in depth per your ancestors. Go to www.valrichinfinity.com/readings to schedule your next reading with me today. We have to get this WORK IN! I genuinely want you to get some of the same amazing results I and many of my clients have gotten just by focusing and sticking with it. Ancestors will not allow me to expect any less for myself. We will be speaking more frequently. Please believe that! They simply wanted to give me the tools to bring MYSELF back….
That’s PRECISELY what I did!
From Now Until Infinity,
