Check your energy before you question your experience.

I popped the cap off of a black expo marker and began to write my quote on the board. My coworker watched my hand glide across until the moment I finished.

I glanced over my shoulder to see him mouthing the words I just wrote and in a perplexed tone, he projected his voice to say "What does that even mean?".

I replied, "tell me what you interpret from it." So, he took a shot at it and gave his best explanation.

It's pretty straightforward.

Check your energy before you question your experience.

If you've ever been around an older black person, I'm sure you've heard the phrase "check yourself before you wreck yourself."

It's the same concept. It means that before you place the blame on external factors, other people or even happenstance- you consult with yourself first.

Check your energy before you question your experience.

Have you ever walked into a place that you DREAD going to? I mean, you REALLY don't like going to that place. So then, your attitude is adjusted to reflect your outlook. The moment you walk into that place, nothing will feel right to you. Everything starts to annoy you. The walls aren't bright enough. You don't like the way it smells. You don't like the people… etc.

That mindset won't make your visit pleasant. Now, I'm not saying that you can't have a certain feeling towards that place, however, it shouldn't dictate how you move and how you treat others.

Consulting with yourself, having a personal meeting with you and yourself has the potential to

- adjust your attitude

-change your outlook

-alter the flow of events

You are powerful beyond measure and when you exercise that power by being in tune with yourself, you become unstoppable.

Before you question why things aren't going your way or how you've planned, check in with yourself and explore options on how to see the situation differently.

Sometimes, it's all about perspective.

Training your brain to see things in a different way.

I hope this helps you.
