Chapter One: Adjust the Crown
Self-care is required! Self-care is an important part of our mindset. Self-care benefits towards reducing stress and it helps to prevent overload that can lead to burnout. The brain is like a computer.
Computer chips hold a processed unit, a control unit, memory, external storage, and input and output devices that works like the brain. The computer like the brain can transfer memory and store relevant information.
Our daily routine and how we think can alter our overall mindset. Stress can alter our mindset. It is a fact, that stress can kill, but it depends on the type of stress. There is episodic acute stress, chronic stress, and acute stress.
Episodic acute stress (Type A) is typically found in queens who have competitive and aggressive lifestyles. Queens with Type A stress may need to cease worrying to avoid coronary heart disease or other physical related issues.
Chronic stress can cause issues to a queen’s mind, body, and spirit. Chronic stress can be related to unhappy relationships, traumatic experiences, unemployment, poverty, or dysfunctional families. Queens with chronic stress can suffer with physical and mental abnormalities.
Acute stress is the most common type of stress. Acute stress consists of short periods of anxiety and can include emotional distress or physical issues, like a mere headache or stomach pain. The good thing is we can program our mindset in how we deal with stress.
A woman can crave food during a period of depression and the brain will automatically communicate food with the process of coping with her unhappiness. She can also modify her coping strategies by changing the food binging to exercise and the brain will follow suit.
Programming our thinking and memory process can also work with the company we keep. Most women, have at least five people they associate with on the regular. If our five-favorite people generate positivity in our presence, most likely we will attract positivity daily.
But if our five-favorite people who we associate with generates negativity on the regular our mindset can be altered to the extreme of toxicity. In most cases, there are five types of favorite people in our friend-cycle.
We might have the friend who is there for every joyful occasion, the friend who will lie to us when we need it, the friend who will fight all our battles, the friend who is the required hater, and the friend who you are not sure is a friend or foe.
The friend who is there for every happy occasion is a seasonal friend and you might only see her during the good times. The friend required to lie to you will be around forever because she is going to tell you how great you look even when you know you need a makeover.
The friend who will fight every battle for you probably loves the drama and excitement with no real loyalty intended. But the hater is someone you will never get rid of because for some reason you love having her hating ass around if nothing more than to prove she is wrong.
Finally, you have the friend who you are not sure is a friend or foe. This person has been in your life most likely since childhood and you just can’t seem to break the cycle. She has the power to hold you back or push you forward considering your queendom.
It is so important that we never confuse friendship with stored memory processes. Toxic relationships are real, and they can be very unhealthy. I am not suggesting that you delete your five-favorite people out of your life, but you must evaluate.
The task of reevaluation allows you to decide whether your five-favorite people are healthy cliques or simply hindering you from becoming the better you. It is also important to trust intuition.
Intuition in most cases has been always on point, but for some strange reason we totally ignore the warning signs of human toxicity. This is not because we are slow or love misery, it’s because we are simply born to be trusting diehards to the end.
Our emotions and the way we are raised provide instructions on how we participate and communicate in relationships. This can include relationships with friends, family, and intimate relationships.
In intimate relations, somewhere along the line of instructions, the parents forgot to teach the sons how to interact with queens. Our loyalty and diehard ambitions to connect and protect have caused issues with the adjustment of our crowns.
Sister Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, explains it well in her speech titled, We Should All Be Feminist
when she said, We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, ‘You can have ambition, but not too much’ You should aim to be successful, but not too successful
We as black queens show up for almost everybody, including our parents, our men, our children, our employers, our employees, and anyone in need of support. But who shows up by the majority for the black queen? To have healthy relationships we must first learn self-love.
Intuition is great, but we must never confuse intuition with insecurity. Insecurity and fear can disable a queen from accepting a new job, changing her hairstyle, or making important decisions. Intuition is that inner voice or feeling that assures you that something is right or wrong, allowing you to make the overall decision.
Insecurity includes lack of confidence attached with uncertainties about someone or something, that allows your fears and doubts to make your overall decision. If we live our lives with choices to win or lose, we have won the battle.
Nothing fails, but a try and mistakes are great lessons. And my most favorite Take a chance quote
is, "If an egg is broken from an outside force life ends,
