Hey mama,

Creating your own reality is a powerful concept that has the potential to drastically improve your life. It involves recognizing that you have the power to make decisions and take action in your life in order to create the life you want. It means taking ownership of your life and taking responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Hey mama,

Being a new mom can be a daunting task. There's a lot of pressure to be the perfect parent, and it's easy to lose sight of your own identity in the process. It's important to remember that you are still you, and finding ways to maintain your identity as a new mom is essential for your mental health and well-being. Here are a few tips for keeping your identity as a new mom...

So, I decided to do The Bougie Sweet Spot Series since I am all about finding a healthy work/life balance that is right for you...

This series is all about helping (new) working moms find their own work/life balance as they embark on this amazing part of their journey...motherhood.

Be on the lookout for part 2 and I would love to hear your thoughts

For all the new moms and seasoned moms too, how is/was the transition back into the working world? Are you loving being back to work or is it overwhelming? Let me know in the comments

Hey mama,

We all have the power to create our own reality through our thoughts about ourselves. Our thoughts shape our beliefs and ultimately, our beliefs create our reality. When we focus on negative thoughts, we create a negative reality. When we focus on positive thoughts, we create a positive reality.

The key to creating a positive reality is to focus on positive thoughts about yourself. Think about the things you’re good at, the things you have achieved, the successes you have had, and the positive qualities you possess. Remind yourself that you are capable, strong, and worthy.

When negative thoughts creep in, don’t let them linger. Counteract them with positive affirmations.

Here are two wonderful affirmations to say as a working mom (but really anyone can use)

1. I am capable of balancing my career and family life with grace and ease.
2. I am thankful for the opportunity to provide for my family and myself.

Remind yourself of your qualities, your successes, and your potential. Challenge yourself to think about the good in your life.

Your thoughts are powerful. They can shape your world and create a positive reality. Take control of your thoughts and use them to your advantage. Focus on the positive and create a brighter future.

Hey mama,

I know how easy it can be to get stuck in the past, re-living the same moments over and over again in our minds, and it's even easier to get stuck in a cycle of negative emotions. But the truth is, the past is in the past and the only thing we can truly control is how we choose to react to it. So, let's have a little fun with it!

Let's say you have a friend who did something to upset you in the past, and now you're feeling angry and resentful. What do you do?

You could focus all your energy on being angry and let it consume you, or you could take a step back, take a deep breath, and decide to be the bigger person. You could choose to forgive, to move on, and to treat your friend with kindness and understanding.

Or maybe you experienced a huge failure at work. Do you dwell on it and beat yourself up, or do you shift your perspective, acknowledge what you did wrong, and use it as an opportunity to learn and grow?

The point is, it's up to us to decide how we want to react to the past. It's easy to get stuck in the same old patterns, but once you start to recognize the power of choice, you'll be amazed at what you can do. So, the next time you find yourself getting caught up in the past, why not have a little fun with it and see what happens when you choose to react in a positive way?

Hey mama,

We can’t always change the circumstances that life throws at us, but we can always change our attitude. It’s easy to fall into a negative mindset when things don’t go our way, and it’s even easier to give up and give in. But if we take the time to take a step back and reframe our perspective, we can find the motivation and courage to move forward.

I haven't really shared my story, which is coming soon but I am a mom of two toddlers (ages 3 and 2), yes they were born 11 months apart, yes they're both quarantine babies, and yes I haven't slept since November 26th, 2019 lol and it is so rewarding being a mom

BUT,

I was struggling the first year and a half with exhaustion, dealing with grief (losing my dad to cancer), and losing myself as a new mom of two cute but rambunctious boys. Though I was trying to hold it all together, I could feel it slipping beneath the surface...

I had to make some changes and fast

Since I could not really change my situation, I changed my attitude towards life essentially and decided to choose myself so that my kids can have the best version of a mom, I lost 70 lbs in about 4 month( at the start of 2022 and kept it off for the rest of the year ) and living my best life.

I’m currently on another weight loss journey to lose the rest of my weight and more importantly focus on health, fitness, and loving myself unconditionally

And more will be definitely shared soon

Changing my perspective/outlook really helped me get to where I am today.

Hey mama,

Learning to say “no” can be one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal to protect your peace. It’s important to realize that while it can be tempting to say “yes” to every request, it’s not always the best decision for your wellbeing or your sanity. Taking the time to assess whether you have the capacity to take on the request, or whether it’s something you’re truly interested in can help you decide whether or not to take it on.

The power of “no” can help you avoid taking on too many obligations, or getting involved in things that aren’t in line with your goals. It can also help you focus on the things that you’ve committed to, and ensure that you’re able to give them the time and attention that they deserve.

Additionally, learning to say “no” can help create healthier relationships. When you’re able to set boundaries and make your needs known, it can help create more meaningful and respectful relationships.

Learning to say “no” can be difficult, but it’s an essential skill that can help you protect your peace. Start experimenting with it, and you’ll soon find that it can be a powerful tool in helping you achieve your goals and maintain a sense of balance in your life.

Listen up!

Courage is an essential part of life. It is the ability to face our fears, push forward despite obstacles, and stand up for what we believe in. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the willingness to take action despite our fears. It is the strength of character that allows us to take risks and overcome our challenges.

Oftentimes as women in corporate spaces and in general really, we lack the courage to speak up for ourselves...we are our own best advocate, so it is time we put ourselves first

Do you have the courage to seek rest when needed?
Are you courageous enough to say no?

If not, then the question becomes, what do I need to do to gain that courage I require to succeed?

I'm curious to know, is having courage is important to you?

Struggling to find that sweet spot between work and quality family time? This post is for you...

The struggle is real for so many of us BUT it doesn't have to be and honestly, there are so many of us that feel the same way...

Women are called to do so much and juggling that can be so tiring, overwhelming and not giving any of the things that we truly dream of when we think about living our best life. The thing is we often are the ones doing and being everything for everyone else while neglecting ourselves (aren't we great multi-taskers?? Look at that!) however, this is not the way to be living in this sweet lawful year of the Lord 2023...

Incorporating these simple tips can lead to a huge difference in our experience as working moms navigating motherhood, work and having a life outside of that... It is important that we have an identity outside of being a mom and our jobs...you were your own person before even becoming a mom or even having that job and even though it may change or evolve as we get older, we should be doing things that feed that individual, passionate side of you...

With that being said, let's recap the 3 tips shall we;

1. Set aside family time

This is some even I struggle with but I am intentionally trying to correct this... I schedule dates/activities in my journal and on my calendar ( both physical and google calendars).

2. Get organized

I got a little ahead of myself in the previous point that it really is important to organize ahead of time so that it is a priority.

3. Make the most of your time

Baby give them babies your undivided attention. I use to struggle with this but it is so important to be present for your loved ones

4. Prioritize

It’s important to make sure that the most important things come first. Prioritize your family first, then work, and make sure you’re setting aside enough time for both.

Hey sis

In the spirit of new beginnings make this fresh 365 (minus a day lol) count. Time to choose you and though sometimes that might mean resting when needed, getting started on your goals and actually following through will be so rewarding at your end-of-year review/recap...and don't say you don't do that, we all do.

Remember, you don't have to know all the steps right now, you just need to know the next first step...

If you need help stepping into your goals for this year, follow me for amazing tips and content on how to do exactly that

Hey mama,

Just a friendly but bougie reminder that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. So focus your energies on the immediate task at hand aka, the next first step.

Restful productivity is key to keeping sane in this chaotic world. Sometimes to gain clarity we just need to take a step back and take a breath and other times we truly need to do some in-depth inner work to help us gain clarity on our situation/reality.

What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments below!

Hey mama

Stress is causing a lot of commotion out here...

Like stress seems to be having a lot of people in a chokehold and she is relentless. But did you know that there is good stress (which this quote is referring to btw) and bad stress?

Let me break it down right now...

Good stress, also known as eustress, is a type of stress that can motivate and energize you. It can help you stay focused and productive. Examples of good stress include getting excited about an upcoming event, having a deadline to meet, or being challenged to do something new. Bad stress, also known as distress, is a type of stress that can be detrimental to your physical and mental health. It can cause feelings of anxiety, depression, and exhaustion. Examples of bad stress include feeling overwhelmed, feeling stuck in a bad situation, or having a major life change. Good stress can help you grow and develop, while bad stress can lead to burnout and other negative outcomes.

I would love to hear from you all, did you know that there were two types of stress? What are your thoughts on this, let me know in the comments below.

Listen babe,

Mom guilt is so incredibly real and if you are experiencing this, I just want you to know that the way you feel is valid and most importantly, you are loved

Also, this does and should not define you as a woman nor as a mother.

Mom guilt can be feeling like you are not doing enough for your children, not spending enough quality time with them, or even by comparing yourself to other moms. It can be difficult to manage, but it is important to take time for yourself and remember that you are doing the best you can for your children.

Cue Mariah Carey's " I'm gonna do the best I can with what I got!" meme ...

That is honestly the type of energy that is needed to help us overcome this overwhelming feeling. You're doing amazing sweetie so keep it up and follow me for more amazing tips on all things working mom related ( burnout, work life balance, getting over mom guilt, building your self confidence etc.).

Hey mama,

The spirit of Christmas is upon us and I wanted to leave a wonderful quote because I feel in my spirit that this message is for somebody.

Now it may seem counterintuitive to post this as I am all about putting myself first, especially as a working mom BUT bear with me for a sec...

Christmas truly is about celebrating others and I feel that this message is for the people in our lives to see us and appreciate us. So this post is for ya'll

Often, the women in your lives over-extend themselves to the point of exhaustion on a regular basis out of love and a sense of responsibility, please pay attention to them, show appreciation and gratitude, and most importantly, help them whenever possible.

They deserve it

Hey mama

Your Friday PSA : REST WHEN NEEDED!

Don't mean to shout but it is completely okay to rest especially since the norm at this time of year is to keep going because... well... Holiday cheer !

It is so easy to fall into the last minute hustle and bustle that comes with celebrating huge holidays however, if you need the rest...get some...

Everything is going to be okay...

Please don't wear yourself down for literally one day, rather be grateful for all that you have and get the rest that you need to function as you should.

With love always
Alannah Rene | The Bougie CEO

Hey mama,

Christmas is just two days away (can you believe it?) How are we feeling? A bit overwhelmed?

If so, then I only have two words for you...

Prioritize Yourself

Everything is going to still be okay if you disappeared (whether physically or mentally) for a short time.

In addition to the tips I shared which are completely risk-free and simply require you to choose the most important person in your life (YOU) here are 2 bonus tips as promised because I am a woman of my word

4. Set boundaries. Know your limits and don't be afraid to say no if you need to.

5. Make time for exercise. Exercise is a great way to reduce stress, and it can also be a great way to spend time with your friends or family. ( it can be a 20-minute family-inclusive workout, which I love doing with my boys btw)

By taking the time to prioritize yourself during the holiday rush, you can ensure that you stay healthy and happy.

And that's it for today's post. I wanted to keep it short and sweet because I want you to start putting yourself first and if that means coming off social media for a mini rest and reset amidst the hustle and bustle of Christmas then, so be it.

I say this

With love always

Hey mama

The holidays are literally upon us and it may be super difficult to find the balance you need but

First, breathe

Put yourself first...you are your top priority (regardless of how others may make you feel or how you feel yourself)

Get in the habit of choosing you first, all the time

Hey sis

Here is part 2 of "Tips to Avoid Feeling Overwhelmed During the Holidays"

I know you're probably getting everything together for ' The Most Wonderful Time of the Year...'

So I won't keep you too long...

5. Practice Mindfulness: Practicing mindfulness can help you focus on the present moment and reduce stress. Meditation, yoga, and other mindfulness activities can help.

6. Connect with Loved Ones: Connecting with family and friends can help you feel supported and reduce feelings of overwhelm.

7. Set Boundaries: Setting boundaries can help you avoid taking on too much and feeling overwhelmed. Be sure to prioritize what’s important and say “no” to those things that are not.

8. Take Time for Yourself: Don’t forget to make time for yourself. Taking some time to do something you enjoy can help you recharge and reduce stress.

The holidays can be a wonderful time of year, but it’s important to practice self-care to help avoid feeling overwhelmed. Try some of these strategies to help you stay relaxed and enjoy the season.

Happy Sunday sis,

For those of us who live for the holidays, it can easily become overbearing overwhelmingly fast.

But worry not because here are some quick tips you can use to avoid feeling overwhelmed during the holidays (Part 1)

1. Take Time to Reflect: Take a few minutes each day to pause and reflect on your day. Reflecting on the things you’re grateful for can help put things in perspective and reduce stress.

2. Get Enough Sleep (my personal favorite): Lack of sleep can lead to feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Be sure to get enough sleep each night, even during this busy time of year.

3. Stick to a Routine: Establishing a daily routine can help you stay organized and reduce stress.

4. Take Breaks: Don’t forget to take breaks throughout the day. Take a few minutes to relax, do some deep breathing, or stretch.

Turn on your post notifications, you don't want to miss out on part 2 (this Tuesday)

Bye for now and remember I say this...

With love always,
Alannah Rene | The Bougie CEO
